He was the son of Gaddo di Zanobi, called [[Gaddo Gaddi]]. He was a member of [[Giotto]]'s workshop from 1313 tountil ~~1337,~~the ~~when~~master's ~~his~~death ~~master~~in ~~died~~1337. According to [[Giorgio Vasari]], he was considered Giotto's most talented pupil: in 1347 he was placed at the top in a list of Florence's most renowned painters.<ref>[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Taddeo-Gaddi Taddo Gaddi], ~~Encyclopaedia~~ Britannica.com</ref> He also traded as a merchant, and had a branch establishment in [[Venice]]. As well as a painter, he was a mosaicist and architect.{{sfn\|Rossetti\|1911}} His main work is the cycle of ''Stories of the Virgin'' in the [[Baroncelli Chapel]] of the [[Basilica di Santa Croce\|Basilica of Santa Croce]] in [[Florence]] (1328–1338). Later he perhaps painted the cabinet tiles in the sacristy of the same church, now divided among the [[Galleria dell'Accademia]] of Florence and museums in [[Munich]] and [[Berlin]]. These works show his mastership of Giotto's new style, to which he added a personal experimentation in the architectural backgrounds, such as in the staircase of the ''Presentation of the Virgin'' in the Baroncelli Chapel. According to some scholars, he collaborated in the [[Stefaneschi Polyptych]] in Rome. His other works include a '' Madonna'' in [[Bern]], an ''Adoration of the Magi'' in [[Dijon]], the ''Stories of [[Job (Biblical figure)\|Job]]'' ([[Pisa]], [[Camposanto Monumentale]]), the ''Madonna Enthroned with Child, Angels and Saints'' (Florence, [[Uffizi Gallery]]), ''The Stigmatization of Saint Francis'' (Cambridge, MA, [[Harvard Art Museums]]), the ''Madonna del Parto'' (Florence), and the Polyptych in [[Santa Felicita]]'s sacristy, Florence. Barcelona's [[Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya\|MNAC]] keeps as a permanent loan from the [[Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum]] in [[Madrid]] a small tempera panel dated in 1325, a ''Nativity'' that was part of a larger table.<ref>{{Cite web\|title=The Nativity\|url=https://www.museothyssen.org/en/collection/artists/gaddi-taddeo/nativity\|website=Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza\|language=en\|access-date=23 May 2020}}</ref> Vasari credited him also of the design and reconstruction of the [[Ponte Vecchio]], which is however disputed by modern scholars.
