Aimone Duce
Italian painter
Aimone Duce (also called Aimo Dux and Dux Aymo; fl. 1417–1444) was an Italian painter active at the court of Savoy-Acaia. He was a native of Pavia, in Lombardy. Although few of Aimone's works survive, and records of his life and art are scant, he is much studied in Piedmont art history.[1] A late gothic painter, his works are considered to be of high quality by Piedmont art scholars, showing the influence of his Lombardian origins and probable training.[2][3] Aimone was a contemporary of Giacomo Jaquerio and they had the patronage of the lords of Savoy in common.[1]

Works of Aimone are known at three locations. Major fresco cycles are painted in two churches of the Pineroloese: The Cappella di Missione at Villafranca Piemonte and the Cappella di Santa Maria Assunta[lower-alpha 1] in the hamlet of Stella at Macello. A third, less extensive, fresco is in the church of San Pietro at Pianezza.[3][1]
