Amico di Sandro

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As Amico di Sandro ( German  friend of Sandro ) is one of the art historian Bernard Berenson first identified in 1899 artistic personality of the early Renaissance in Italy called.

identification

The painter, who is not known by name, was given this emergency name in order to group a number of stylistically similar paintings and chests . They were created in a style that is close to that of Sandro Botticelli and shows similarities with the paintings of Domenico Ghirlandaio and Filippino Lippi . As a result of the critical discussion of the works, most of the works were then assigned directly to Lippi in the course of time; he had worked for Botticelli around 1472 and his early work was influenced by his style before he developed his own style.

Nevertheless, the emergency name created by Berenson remains of interest to art historians, as a new edition of Berenson's articles shows. The creation of the notation remains an example of how Berenson advanced the critical investigation of works that could not be assigned by name in the early days of art history.
