СКАЧАТЬ whereas the figure in this work is reminiscent of Masaccio’s frescos of the Brancacci chapel. His perspective studies are very sophisticated, recalling the Renaissance art treatises of Piero della Francesca, Leonardo da Vinci, or Dürer. He was a major proponent of the Renaissance style. However, if his masterwork The Battle of San Romano (1438–1440) has Renaissance elements, Uccello’s gold decorations on the surface of his masterpieces are indebted to the Gothic style.

      ANDREA DEL CASTAGNO

      (Andrea di Bartolo di Bargilla)

      (Castagno, before 1419 – Florence, 1457)

      An Italian painter of the Florentine school, Andrea del Castagno was born in Castagno, in the district of Mugello. He followed the naturalism of Masaccio and made use of scientific perspective, gaining wide recognition for his monumental frescoes for the convent of Sant’Apollonia in Florence. These included a Last Supper and three scenes from the Passion of Christ. Another of his principle works (many of them have disappeared) was the equestrian figure of Nicola di Tolentino, in the cathedral of Florence. Castagno added to the Renaissance’s illusionism a strong expressive realism that was influenced by the sculptures of Donatello. He, in turn, would prove influential for succeding generations.

      For four centuries, Castagno’s name was burdened with the henious charge of murder. It was said that he had treacherously assasinated his colleague, Domenico Veneziano, in order to monopolise the then-recent secret of oil painting as practised in Flanders by the Van Eycks. This charge was, however, proved to be untrue, as Domenico died four years after Andrea.

      ROGIER VAN DER WEYDEN

      (Tournai, c. 1399 – Brussels, 1464)

      He lived in Brussels, where he was the city’s official painter (from 1436), but his influence was felt throughout Europe. One sponsor was Philip the Good, an avid collector. Van der Weyden is the only Fleming who truly carried on van Eyck’s great conception of art. He added to it a pathos of which there is no other example in his country except, though with less power and nobility, that of Hugo van der Goes towards the end of the century. He had a considerable influence on the art of Flanders and Germany. Hans Memling was his most renowned pupil. Van der Weyden was the last inheritor of the Giottesque tradition and the last of the painters whose work is thoroughly religious.
