Bonaventura Berlinghieri (flourished 1235–44) was an Italian painter from Lucca, Italy, known for his poignant and detailed scenes from the life of St. Francis on the predella (base of the altarpiece) of the Church of San Francesco at Pescia.
Bonaventura was the son of the painter Berlinghiero of the Berlinghieri family of Lombardian painters. The Pescia work is one of the earliest known pictorial narratives of the saint of Assisi. Consisting of a central panel and subsidiary scenes, it shows evidence of Byzantine influence. Another work of rare charm is his St. Francis Receiving the Stigmata, to be found in the Academy at Florence. Other works attributed to Bonaventura are not well documented.
