The only securely documented painting by the artist is an altarpiece of 1447 now in the Museo Civico, Padua. A follower of Michele Giambono, Francesco may have collaborated with Antonio Vivarini in Venice. Together with 'St Mary Magdalen' by the same artist, this panel was once part of an unknown altarpiece possibly for a church in Padua or Venice. St Catherine, of royal birth, wears a crown and carries her martyr's palm; the wheel refers to earlier attempts at her martyrdom.
