Giovanni di Antonio di Banco, called Nanni di Banco (c. 1374 – 1421), was an Italian Renaissance sculptor from Florence. He was a contemporary of Donatello – both are first recorded as sculptors in the accounts of the Florence Duomo in 1406, presumably as young masters. He is one of the artists whose work manifested the transition from Gothic to Renaissance art in the city, finding inspiration in classical Roman sculpture and bringing a new naturalism to Florentine art.
