Stefano (di Giovanni) da Verona (Stefano da Francia; Stefano da Zevio), Italian painter. He was the son of Jean d Arbois.
Vasari first called him Stefano da Verona; in documents he appears as Stefano di Giovanni. The name da Zevio (Stephanus de Gebeto), adopted by local historians, arose from a confusion with
Altichiero. Local historians, probably because of
Vasari s chronological incoherence in calling him a student of both Agnolo Gaddi and Liberale da Verona, were also responsible for the creation of other apocryphal Stefanos (Stefano jr, Stefano sr, Vincenzo di Stefano).
Stefano da Verona was the principal Veronese painter in the International Gothic style. He was much influenced by
Gentile da Fabriano and was probably the master of
Pisanello, continuing a sort of proto-Pisanello style as late as 1435 in his signed and dated
Adoration of the Magi (Milan, Brera); on the other hand, the Madonna of the Quail (Verona) may be by him or by Pisanello. Most of his works are in Verona (museums and churches).
