Master from 1419

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An Italian painter who worked in Florence from 1419 to around 1430 is referred to as the master of 1419 ( English Master of 1419 ) . The artist, who is not known by name, is named after the year on one of his pictures.

Naming and work

The master of 1419 got his emergency name after his picture of a Madonna and Child under angels, which is dated to 1419 with an inscription on the frame. The inscription identifies the work as a donation from the Marchese Antonio di Domenico Guigni. It was the middle section of a triptych that, after installation in the church of Santa Maria a Latera in Barberino di Mugello near Florence and the demolition of this church in 1516, then ended up in the nearby church of San Jacopo alla Cavallina. There in the 18th century still verifiable as a three-part work, it was then divided. The middle section came from the Robert Crawshay collection to Ohio in 1953, where it is now in the Cleveland Museum of Art . The wings of the altar showing saints are privately owned.

More than twelve other pictures were ascribed to the master of 1419 around the picture in Ohio , although the catalog of works by this artist cannot be precisely defined.

style

Stylistically, the master of 1419 is based on Lorenzo Monaco , whose pupil he was probably. However, he developed his still highly Gothic style of painting to a painting style of the early Renaissance that more closely followed the classical classical period, as can also be found in Fra Angelico (1390 / 5–1455). In this development, the influence of Masolino da Panicale on the master and the fundamental difference between the international style of the late Gothic and that of the early Renaissance can be seen. A triptych ascribed to the master of 1419 is used as an example of this difference . The picture shows St. Julian with two other saints, it comes from the chapel of San Giuliano built in the Collegiata and can be seen today in the museum of San Gimignano there. The picture, finely executed on a gold background, begins to depict the figures very realistically and from an observed perspective, in contrast to the often formulaic language of the Gothic of its predecessors.

According to some experts, there is a circle around the master of 1419 , influenced by his work, by other Florentine painters such as Rosello di Jacopo Franchi (1377–1456), Giovanni Toscani (1370–1430) and also Paolo Uccello (1397–1475). Like those of the master, their works are at the transition from the late Italian Middle Ages to the early Renaissance.

identification

It is proposed to identify the master of 1419 with the Florentine painter Battista di Biagio Sanguigni (1393-1451). Sanguigni is the verifiable first employee of Fra Angelico.
