 Throughout his career, Lorenzo maintained Trecento traditions in his work, a style that he learned from Gerini.Lorenzo’s works, such as "S. Giovanni and his enemy before the crucifix in Saint Miniato," serve as defining models of Florentine art’s transitional period at the beginning of the 15th century and connect the artist to the Florentine art circle and continued to work in a form of the late Gothic style well into the 15th century.This particular circle of Proto-Renaissance style Florentine artists was centered around artist Lorenzo Monaco.
