Beccafumi
Domenico di Pace Beccafumi (1486May 18, 1551) was an Italian Renaissance-Mannerist painter active predominantly in Siena. He is considered one of the last undiluted representatives of the Sienese school of painting. Biography Domenico was born in Montaperti, near Siena, the son of Giacomo di Pace, a peasant who worked on the estate of Lorenzo Beccafumi. Seeing his talent for drawing, Lorenzo adopted him, and commended him to learn painting from Mechero, a lesser Sienese artist. In 1509 he traveled to Rome, where he learned from the artists who had just done their first work in the Vatican, but soon returned to Siena. However, while the Roman forays of two Sienese artists of roughly his generation (Il Sodoma and Peruzzi) had imbued them with elements of the Umbrian-Florentine Classical style, Beccafumi's style remains, in striking ways, provincial. In Siena, he painted religious pieces for churches and of mythological decorations for private patrons, only mildly influenced by the ...

Trinity Triptych
The Trinity Triptych is a 1513 oil on panel painting by Domenico Beccafumi, now in the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Siena. Beccafumi's earliest surviving painting, it was produced as the altarpiece for the Cappella del Manto in the Santa Maria della Scala hospital complex, where it remained until 1818. This influenced the choice of Cosmas and Damian as two of the accompanying saints, flanking John the Baptist and John the Evangelist. The artist also produced a fresco cycle for that chapel, of which only ''Joachim and Anna Meeting at the Golden Gate'' survives. A prestigious work in light of the commissioning institution's importance and wealth, it showed Beccafumi's welcome back to Siena (he had just returned from Rome at the time). A cartouche on the frame records the work was commissioned by Battista d'Antonio da Ceva "for his devotion . As shown in documents rediscovered by Samminiatelli, the work was delivered between February and March 1513 at a fee no greater than 35 florins. ...

Bellanti Madonna
The Bellanti Madonna is oil on canvas painting by Domenico Beccafumi, executed ''c.'' 1515. Long attributed to Girolamo del Pacchia, Vigni reattributed it as a youthful work by Domenico Beccafumi in 1936, an attribution accepted by most other later art historians. Heavily influenced by Michelangelo (Beccafumi is thought to have travelled to Rome around 1512 and seen the new Sistine Chapel ceiling), its oval format is also influenced by Raphael Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, better known as Raphael (; or ; March 28 or April 6, 1483April 6, 1520), was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance.

Self-Portrait (Beccafumi)
''Self-Portrait'' is a c. 1525–1530 oil painting by Domenico Beccafumi, using a support of card pasted onto canvas. It forms part of the collection of artist's self-portraits at the Uffizi in Florence, Italy. It entered the gallery in 1682 by which time it had been expanded on all four sides to fit a frame or to make it a pendent to another work. Its frame misidentifies it as a self-portrait by Passeri A songbird is a bird belonging to the suborder Passeri of the perching birds (Passeriformes). Another name that is sometimes seen as the scientific or vernacular name is Oscines, from Latin ''oscen'', "songbird". The Passeriformes contains 5000 ..., it regained its present attribution in the second half of the 20th century after previous critical neglect.

Saint Paul Enthroned
''Saint Paul Enthroned'' is an oil on canvas painting by Domenico Beccafumi, now in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo (Siena), Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Siena. It is dated to c. 1515 due to its style, before his ''St Catherine of Siena Receiving the Stigmata'' and after his trip to Rome, where he had come into contact with Sodoma and Florentine artists of the period - the figure of the saint draws on the prophets in Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling whilst those in the background draw on Dürer and Piero di Cosimo. It was commissioned by the Corte degli Uffiziali di Mercanzia for the now-destroyed church of San Paolo in Siena. It was mentioned as a "tavoletta" (small canvas) "made by Domenico when he was young" in Vasari's ''Lives of the Artists'', though that author may not have seen the work himself and no document survives with direct references to the commission. A preparatory drawing for the figures of the Madonna and Child at the top survives in the Uffizi's Gabinetto de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Il Sodoma
Il Sodoma (1477 – 14 February 1549) was the name given to the Italian Renaissance painter Giovanni Antonio Bazzi. Il Sodoma painted in a manner that superimposed the High Renaissance style of early 16th-century Rome onto the traditions of the provincial Sienese school; he spent the bulk of his professional life in Siena, with two periods in Rome. Biography Giovanni Bazzi was born in Vercelli, Piedmont, in 1477. His first master was the "archaic" Martino Spanzotti; he also appears to have been a student of the painter Giovenone. After acquiring the strong colouring and other distinctive stylistic features of the Lombard school and – though he is not known to have travelled to Milan – somehow absorbing the superficial mannerisms of Leonardo (Freedberg 1993:117), he travelled to Siena before 1503, perhaps at the behest of agents of the Spannocchi family, and began with fresco cycles for Olivetan monks and a series of small Ovidian ceiling panels and a frieze depicting t ...
