School ferarese: Lorenzo Costa (1460-1535)


He stands apart from the group of painters of the fifteenth century Lorenzo Costa, the youngest Ferrarese painter of this time.



I see that he learns the art of Cosme Tura, but, since 1483, worked in the destroyed building Bentivoglio of Bologna, where he frescoed the "Madonna dei Bentivoglio" (Church of San Giacomo Maggiore), grouped the family of the lords the city around the throne.

Memories Ferrara are weakened in the technique from a formula unpleasant physiognomy, and in the "Triumphs", represented in front, ingenuity replaces the imagination.

From these inanimate pictorial shows you climb to the looser "Madonna and Saints of San Petronio, with the assistants a little 'cold and finished.

the style of Lorenzo Costa, struck down by the power of his school, may the example of the blade of London De 'Roberti, especially for the Virgin and Saint John the Evangelist of the "Madonna Enthroned with Saints (Bologna, San Giovanni in Monte), and also the analogy begins to be felt by Francesco Francia Peruginesco characters, and then more spontaneous.

Among the students of Lorenzo Costa, and I quote here HERCULES BIG JOHN MARIA Chiodarolo.
