He worked in Verona and Padua—works by him survive in the church of Sant"Anastasia in Verona and in the basilica of Sant"Antonio and the Oratorio di San Giorgio in Padua (where the cr for the work has been generally shared with Jacopo d"Avanzi, about whom little is known). Altichiero was probably born somewhere near Zevio. There are frescoes by him in the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua.
The first seven frescoes on the life of Saint James the Elder were by Altichiero.
The last record of Altichiero is a Paduan archival document of September 1384.At that time he was in Verona or about to go there. The Florentine art historian Giorgio Vasari is the source of the tradition that Altichiero returned to Verona after working in Padua.
