FAH337H1 Study Guide - Benois Madonna, Pitti Tondo, Veranda
Document Summary
Filippinoi lippi (worked on it from 1500-2) and pietro p. erugino, descent from the cross, back side of altar: perugino painted the front side of altar (very big!!) -> his style of paintings has not changed since his earlier work: not looking as good compared to leonardo"s work, altar expecting something new --> but still the same thing, not for the new cutting edge market o. Interest in re-kindling representing florence as new, high-edge cutting. Perugino the battle of love and chasity: female patron for private room, thought there wasn"t enough figures, artist not willing to keep up with modern times, styles. Study of battle of casina: leonardo tried to recreate very thing nature can create, michelangelo studied only human figures. Florence as a newly revived artistic center --> signoria suppressed artistic traditions, so now a rival of the arts, political statement of the florentines: michelangelo loathed leonardo --> clash of personality.
