Ferrara Cathedral Organ Case
The Ferrara Cathedral Organ Case was a set of 1469 tempera on canvas paintings by Cosme Tura, originally forming doors for the organ at Ferrara Cathedral but now in the cathedral museum. Originally double-sided, the front and back of each door have now been separated. As originally constructed, the doors showed an annunciation scene when open and ''Saint George and the Princess'' when closed. They are rare evidence of the artist's work after he was made court painter in 1456, both in terms of quality and as a fixed point in the chronology of the artist's oeuvre. He was paid for them on 2 June 1469, as shown by one of the few surviving documents relating to his artistic career. It shows influences from international Gothic (then prevalent at the court in Ferrara), Piero della Francesca, Andrea Mantegna, Mantegna and followers of Francesco Squarcione.

He provided a great contribution to the Renaissance in Ferrara. Biography Formation Born in Ferrara, of humble origins, he was the son of a shoemaker named Domenico. There is no record of Cosmè's apprenticeship, which Vasari linked to the mysterious artist Galasso Galassi of Ferrara, an elusive and thinly documented figure, linked by friendship to Piero della Francesca. The first historical documents concerning him are dated to the years 1451–1452, when he decorated some objects for the court of the ruling House of Este , Este family, Dukes of Ferrara, such as flags bearing coats of arms of the family destined for display at the Castle, or a helmet to be awarded as a tournament prize. Such works as these were a staple among the commissions received by an artist's worksh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Paintings Of Saint George And The Dragon
Painting is a visual art, which is characterized by the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called "matrix" or "support"). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush. Other implements, such as palette knives, sponges, airbrushes, the artist's fingers, or even a dripping technique that uses gravity may be used. One who produces paintings is called a painter. In art, the term "painting" describes both the act and the result of the action (the final work is called "a painting"). The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate other materials, in single or multiple form, including sand, clay, paper, cardboard, newspaper, plaster, gold leaf, and even entire objects.

In his book ''Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects'', Giorgio Vasari wrote that Uccello was obsessed by his interest in perspective and would stay up all night in his study trying to grasp the exact vanishing point. Uccello used perspective to create a feeling of depth in his paintings. His best known works are the The Battle of San Romano, three paintings representing the battle of San Romano, which were wrongly entitled the ''Battle of Sant'Egidio of 1416'' for a long period of time.
