Gentile da Fabriano (1370?-1427), Italian painter in the International Gothic style. Originally named Gentile di Niccolò di Giovanni di Massio, he was born in Fabriano, in the province of Ancona.

Much of his work has been lost, but what remains shows the influence of the French and Flemish version of the International Gothic style then current in Lombardy (Lombardia). His work is characterized by sparkling color and graceful figures with animated and smiling faces. Gentile was active in a number of Italian cities.

In Venice in 1411 he executed frescoes for the Ducal Palace and greatly influenced Pisanello and the early Venetian school.

In Florence in 1423 he painted his masterpiece, Adoration of the Magi (Uffizi), an altarpiece noted for its great beauty and elegance.

In Rome in 1427 he painted frescoes illustrating the life of Saint John the Baptist (Saint John Lateran) and the Holy Family (Santa Maria Maggiore). Other important paintings are Madonna in Glory (Brera, Milan), Presentation in the Temple (Louvre, Paris), and Madonna with Saints (Berlin Museum).
