Italian family of artists. Primarily painters, the Bellini were arguably the most important of the many families that played so vital a role in shaping the character of Venetian art.
They were largely responsible for introducing the Renaissance style into Venetian painting, and, more effectively than the rival Vivarini family, they continued to dominate painting in Venice throughout the second half of the 15th century. Painter and draughtsman, son of Jacopo Bellini. An official painter of the Venetian Republic, he was a dominant figure in Venetian art for several decades in the latter half of the 15th century, known particularly for portraits and large narrative paintings in which the city and its inhabitants are depicted in great detail.
Although the professional needs of his family background may have encouraged him to specialize at an early date in devotional painting, by the s he had become a leading master in all types of painting practised in 15th-century Venice. His increasing dominance of Venetian art led to an enormous expansion of his workshop after c.
Sapori Solari, Milan
It was thanks to Giovanni Bellini that the Venetian school of painting was transformed during the later 15th century from one mainly of local significance to one with an international reputation. He thus set the stage for the triumphs of Venetian painting in the 16th century and for the central contribution that Venice was to make to the history of European art. His surviving work consists of some 20 paintings—mostly small-scale, intimate devotional pictures—and nearly drawings, contained in two volumes Paris, Louvre; London, BM.
The drawings constitute a unique oeuvre for a 15th-century artist, both in regard to their number and their nature; most of them are finished, independent compositions. Known only through documentary evidence and contemporary sources, they are an indication of the high esteem in which he was held both in Venice and beyond. Italian sculptor and medallist. He also produced bronze reliefs and medals as well as working in other media.
It is very likely that he is identifiable with one Bertoldo di Giovanni di Bertoldo, who was involved in a minor commercial transaction in He was the natural child of an unknown mother and Boccaccino di Chellino, a merchant banker. One of the most influential writers of the 14th century, he is now known primarily for his works in Italian, in particular the Decameron. During his lifetime, however, such works in Latin as De claris mulieribus , De casibus virorum illustrium —60 and the immensely influential encyclopedia De genealogia deorum gentilium written —60; revised —4 were the major sources of his fame and were often the subject of manuscript and book illustrations, especially in the 15th century.
Italian painter and draughtsman. He is best known for his strikingly beautiful depictions of women, both in portraits and in cabinet paintings. He also excelled in rendering monumental architectural settings for narrative, both religious and secular, possibly initiating a genre that would find great currency during the midth century, especially in Venice, France and the Netherlands.
Although he was not generally sought after by Venetian patrons during his career, as his art was eclipsed by that of Titian, Paolo Veronese and Jacopo Tintoretto, Bordone was regarded in the midth century as an accomplished artist Pino; Sansovino. Italian philologist, historian and artistic adviser. On 20 June he entered the Benedictine Order at the Badia in Florence, took his vows a year later and was appointed a deacon in While there he was mainly concerned with studying Classical authors.
After spending fairly brief periods in Perugia, Rome, Montecassino, Naples, Arezzo and Venice he settled in Florence in with the intention of devoting himself mainly to the study of literature and history. From to he was Luogotenente of the recently founded Accademia del Disegno , whose constitution he shaped.
In his lifetime he was one of the most esteemed painters in Italy, enjoying the patronage of the leading families of Florence, in particular the Medici and their banking clients. From that time his name virtually disappeared until the reassessment of his reputation that gathered momentum in the s. Italian painter and poet. He dominated Florentine painting from the s to the s. Italian architect and sculptor. In these schemes he was the first since antiquity to make use of the Classical orders; at the same time he employed a proportional system of his own invention, in which all units were related to a simple module, the mathematical characteristics of which informed the entire structure.
Brunelleschi worked almost exclusively in Florence, and many features link his architecture with the Romanesque—if not the Gothic—heritage of that city. Nevertheless, he was beyond question responsible for initiating the rediscovery of ancient Roman architecture. He understood its inherent principles and he employed them in an original manner for the building tasks of his own day. He was the most influential 15th-century Florentine master, after Masaccio, of the realistic rendering of the figure and the representation of the human body as a three-dimensional solid by means of contours.
By translating into the terms of painting the statues of the Florentine sculptors Nanni di Banco and Donatello, Castagno set Florentine painting on a course dominated by line the Florentine tradition of disegno , the effect of relief and the sculptural depiction of the figure that became its distinctive trait throughout the Italian Renaissance, a trend that culminated in the art of Michelangelo.
Italian writer, humanist, diplomat and soldier. In Castiglione began Il libro del cortegiano , for which he is best remembered. It was finished in and revised and published in In these fictitious dialogues, set in the palace rooms of Elisabetta Gonzaga, Duchess of Urbino, the courtiers, all historical persons, discuss the proper education for the ideal aristocrat. Castiglione dated the dialogues to , when he was in fact in England representing Guidobaldo at the installation ceremony of the Order of the Garter.
Il libro del cortegiano is divided into four books. In Book I, in the guise of Ludovico da Canossa, its interlocutor, Castiglione, expressed his views on sculpture and painting. Italian goldsmith, medallist, sculptor and writer. Among his most famous works are the elaborate gold figural salt made for Francis I Vienna, Ksthist. His Vita is among the most compelling autobiographies written by an artist and is generally considered to be an important work of Italian literature.
Italian writer and painter. His father Andrea Cennini was also probably a painter. Cennino began his career in Florence as a pupil of Agnolo Gaddi, with whom he claimed to have spent 12 years. Agnolo was both a son and pupil of Taddeo Gaddi, who in turn had been taught by Giotto. Cennino, therefore, represented the third generation trained in the Giottesque tradition, a fact he proudly emphasized.
He is cited in only two documents of 13 and 19 August , in which he is recorded as a painter living in Padua, employed by Francesco II da Carrara, Lord of Padua, and married to Ricca di Cittadella. No signed or documented works by him have survived. It was written c. It is thought to have been composed in Padua, as it contains many Venetian terms and was dedicated to St Antony of Padua among others. The original manuscript does not survive, but three copies exist.
The treatise constitutes a fundamental source for the knowledge of early Italian painting techniques. Cennini described the complex stages of making a panel painting, from the initial preparation of the ground to the final stages of varnishing. In this, the treatise is a precursor of the Renaissance preoccupation with the nature of artistic creation. Its publication in the 19th century stimulated a renewed interest in tempera painting among such artists as the Birmingham painter Joseph Southall — The treatise is also an invaluable reference work for conservators and restorers.

Having studied in Greece and apparently read at least one treatise on Greek art see Brutus xviii. Italian painter and mosaicist. Filippo Villani and Vasari assigned him the name Giovanni, but this has no historical foundation. He may be considered the most dramatic of those artists influenced by contemporary Byzantine painting through which antique qualities were introduced into Italian work in the late 13th century. His interest in Classical Roman drapery techniques and in the spatial and dramatic achievements of such contemporary sculptors as Nicola Pisano, however, distinguishes him from other leading members of this movement.

As a result of his influence on such younger artists as Duccio and Giotto, the forceful qualities of his work and its openness to a wide range of sources, Cimabue appears to have had a direct personal influence on the subsequent course of Florentine, Tuscan and possibly Roman painting. In —7 he was to decorate the vault of a large chamber in the guildhall of the judges and notaries destr. In the same period Jacopo probably created the altarpiece with the Crucifixion —8; London, N. The painting of the Virgin destr. In Jacopo also received the commission that had originally been awarded to Andrea for the altarpiece of St Matthew Florence, Uffizi for a pier altar in Orsanmichele.

The high quality of this work was recognized during his lifetime, since a contract of cites it as an exemplar. Italian painter, stuccoist and sculptor. Much of the fascination of his career resides in the development of his style from provincial origins to a highly sophisticated manner, combining the most accomplished elements of the art of Michelangelo, Raphael and their Mannerist followers in a distinctive and highly original way. He provided an influential model for numerous later artists in Rome.
His career lasted only about 12 years, but during that time he produced some of the most delicate and intimate sculptural works of midth-century Florence. There are problems of dating and attribution even with his partially documented works, and records survive of several unidentifiable commissions; consequently, it is difficult to chart the course of his stylistic development, and the reliefs and portrait busts attributed to him are grouped around two works: Roman emperor and patron.
In order to strengthen Imperial control at a time of extreme danger to the Roman world, Diocletian created the Tetrarchy in AD , a four-man system under which two Caesars were appointed: The whole was held together only by the personality and authority of Diocletian himself, so that by the time of his death the Empire was once again beset by civil wars; his division of the Empire, however, and many of his administrative reforms lasted for much longer.
Controversy that developed in Italy in the 16th century over the relative merits of design or drawing It.
He was one of the most important painters of the 14th century and like his slightly younger contemporary, Giotto, was a major influence on the course of Italian painting. An innovator, he introduced into Sienese painting new altarpiece designs, a dramatic use of landscape, expressive emotional relationships, extremely complex spatial structures and a subtle interplay of colour.
Painter, draughtsman, printmaker and writer. Now considered by many scholars the greatest of all German artists, he not only executed paintings and drawings of the highest quality but also made a major contribution to the development of printmaking, especially engraving, and to the study of anthropometry. He was a courtier and man of letters, first in the service of the Cantelmo family of Sora, then at the Este court in Ferrara, and finally, for many years, at that of the Gonzaga in Mantua. His writings, not numerous but varied in subject, reflect the interests and manners prevailing in the Italian courts during the 15th and 16th centuries.
Her intelligence was particularly noted by the envoys sent to assess her by Francesco II Gonzaga, Marchese of Mantua, whom she married in , when she was Her private quarters in Mantua were in the tower of the Castello di S Giorgio, part of the complex of buildings which make up the Ducal Palace. The apartment included her first studiolo and the cave-like grotta beneath, which housed her collection of antiquities.
Her fame as a patron is due to the decorations she commissioned for her studiolo , a set of paintings of Classical and allegorical subjects, rather than the religious works associated with other female patrons. The Accademia was based on the Compagnia di S Luca founded , an association of artists of a religious character, and was constituted in largely at the instigation of Giorgio Vasari.
The enlarged institution became the sole officially recognized professional body representing Florentine artists, and the school of art. In its final legal form, established in , it comprised the Compagnia and the Accademia sensu stricto , and it was administered on behalf of the court by a Luogotenente lieutenant drawn from a distinguished Florentine family. Lorenzo the Magnificent developed lands at the Piazza S Marco lands that his grandsire Cosimo had begun assembling in the s, as Elam demonstrated into a retreat with reception rooms as well as pleasant grounds.
By the property was well-enough developed to show the Cardinal of Aragon its library and garden. As Bertoldo and Lorenzo died in and respectively, their involvement in the project would have been brief. Daughter of Prospero Fontana. She was trained by her father and followed his Mannerist style. By she had become established as a portrait painter in Bologna. Her portrait style reflects the formality of Central Italian models as well as the naturalistic tendencies of the North Italian tradition. In naturalism and treatment of detail her portraits are comparable with those of her famous North Italian predecessor, Sofonisba Anguissola e.
The son of a Milanese linen-weaver, he had completed his apprenticeship, in Florence, by 18 October Daughter of Orazio Gentileschi. She was among the first Italian female painters whose artistic achievements were praised by her contemporaries. She worked for several European rulers and ran an impressive workshop during her more than 20 years in Naples. She worked in Rome, Florence, Venice and Naples, and spent a brief period in London in the late s. From the beginning she refused to limit herself to portraits, still-lifes and small devotional pictures, the staples of most women artists in the 16th and 17th centuries, but established herself immediately as an ambitious history painter and was also highly sought after as a painter of the female nude.
A mixture of finely ground plaster and glue applied to wood panels to create a smooth painting surface. Bronze-caster, sculptor, goldsmith, draughtsman, architect and writer.

His richly decorative and elegant art, which reached its most brilliant expression in the Gates of Paradise Florence, Baptistery , did not break dramatically with the tradition of Late Gothic, yet Ghiberti was undoubtedly one of the great creative personalities of early Renaissance art; no contemporary artist had so deep an influence on the art and sculpture of later times.
His art, in which idealism and realism are fused, reflects the discovery of Classical art as truly as the realism of Donatello, and to label Ghiberti a traditionalist is to define the Renaissance art of the early 15th century one-sidedly in terms of increased realism. His competition relief of the Sacrifice of Isaac ; Florence, Bargello determined the development of low relief not only in the 15th century but through the stylistic periods of Mannerism and Baroque, and up until the work of Rodin in the 19th century.
He was wealthier than most of his contemporary artists, and he owned considerable land and securities. Painter, mosaicist and possibly goldsmith.

Flemish sculptor, active in Italy. Born and trained in Flanders, he travelled to Italy in to study the masterpieces of Classical and Renaissance sculpture. On his way home, he visited Florence c. Particularly influential were the ambitious representations of figures and groups in violent movement, and the technical finesse of late Hellenistic work, most of which had not been available to earlier generations e.
He is generally and justifiably regarded as the founder of Venetian painting of the 16th century. Within a brief career of no more than 15 years he created a radically innovative style based on a novel pictorial technique, which provided the starting-point for the art of Titian, the dominant personality of the 16th century in Venice. Although he apparently enjoyed a certain fame as a painter of external frescoes, Giorgione specialized above all in relatively small-scale pictures, painted for private use in the home.
A high proportion of his subjects were drawn from, or inspired by, mythology and secular literature. Landscape played an important role in many of his compositions, and particular attention was often paid to the representation of storms, sunsets and other such natural phenomena. His exploitation of a taste for such works within a circle of aesthetically sophisticated Venetian patricians in turn provided the context for the creation of an entirely novel range of pictorial images.
Italian painter and designer. In his own time and place he had an unrivalled reputation as the best painter and as an innovator, superior to all his predecessors, and he became the first post-Classical artist whose fame extended beyond his lifetime and usual residence. This was partly the consequence of the rich literary culture of two of the cities where he worked, Padua and Florence.

Religious organizations of lay people members of the church who are not clergy , sometimes organized by profession or guild, who undertook charitable roles and duties like that of tending the dying or condemned. Italian painter, sculptor, architect, designer, theorist, engineer and scientist.
He was the founding father of what is called the High Renaissance style and exercised an enormous influence on contemporary and later artists. His writings on art helped establish the ideals of representation and expression that were to dominate European academies for the next years. The standards he set in figure draughtsmanship, handling of space, depiction of light and shade, representation of landscape, evocation of character and techniques of narrative radically transformed the range of art. A number of his inventions in architecture and in various fields of decoration entered the general currency of 16th-century design.
Although he brought relatively few works to completion, and even fewer have survived, Leonardo was responsible for some of the most influential images in the history of art. Son of Filippo Lippi. He was a painter of altarpieces, cassone panels and frescoes and also an exceptional draughtsman. His success lay in his ability to absorb, without slavishly following, the most popular trends in contemporary painting. He worked in Florence and Rome at a time when patrons were beginning to intermingle personal, religious, social and political ideals in their ambitions for palaces and chapels: Pietro Lombardo and his sons, Tullio Lombardo and Antonio Lombardo, were dominant figures in Venetian sculpture and architecture from c.
Because Pietro was born in Carona, the place of origin of the Solari, a famous family of stone-carvers, it is assumed that he was a member of that family. Pietro transformed Tuscan Renaissance prototypes into a Venetian style. The typical features of this style, a simple, planar architecture covered with beautifully carved low-relief ornament, were so widely imitated that the designation Lombardesque was coined to characterize it as a Venetian phenomenon of the late 15th century and the early 16th.
Sculptor, son of Pietro Lombardo. Unlike Pietro and his brother Tullio, he practised sculpture exclusively, and he worked in bronze as well as marble. He has been convincingly credited with the carving of the extremely realistic portrait of the deceased bishop and with the eagle and some of the decorative carving on the sarcophagus Munman, He is first documented in Bologna, where he rented a workshop at S Petronio between July and May , presumably to work on some commission for the cathedral, perhaps the Rossi Chapel chancel Beck, By he and his family had moved to Padua, where his most important work was the wall tomb of Doge Antonio Roselli in S Antonio Il Santo , which he designed in early and finished by 8 April Moschetti, , The Roselli tomb introduced the 15th-century Florentine humanist tomb type into the region and marks the beginning of true Renaissance sculpture in the Veneto.
Sculptor and architect, son of Pietro Lombardo. The later birthdates would explain the difficulty of distinguishing their role in the family workshop before the late s. In —3 he took over the workshop, and by — he occupied an important position in Florentine art life. He is known primarily for his devotional paintings, although he was also much in demand as a portrait painter and was a sensitive draughtsman. AD ; d before
