He is known for his contributions to the Sienese school of painting and is recognized for his religious works and altarpieces. Fei was born in Siena, Italy, around 1345 and is believed to have died around 1411.

Throughout his career, Fei produced several notable works, including the altarpiece for the church of San Francesco in Siena. His style is characterized by a blend of Gothic and early Renaissance elements, with a focus on vivid colors and intricate details. Fei's significance lies in his role in the transition of Sienese painting towards the Renaissance, marking a shift in artistic techniques and themes during his time.
