School of Stampace

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Stampace School , named after a suburb of Cagliari in Sardinia , was run by the Cavaro family of artists from 1450 to around 1600 for several generations . She shaped the painting of the 16th century on the island with works that are partly in their original locations and mostly in the Pinacoteca Nationale in Cagliari.

A rich collection of retables comes from the destroyed church of San Francesco in Stampace .

Pietro Cavaro (active around 1508–1537) is considered one of the most important painters in Sardinia. He was trained in Barcelona and Naples . His style opened up to the Italian Renaissance and introduced a new style of painting in Sardinia. Among his paintings, the side wing of the Madonna, a Sette Dolori (also called Pietà di Tangeri), created after 1520, deserves special attention. The painting, characterized by a dramatic atmosphere, proves the knowledge of the Nordic figurative repertoire, especially Albrecht Dürer's .
