Neroccio De’ Landi
Neroccio di Bartolomeo de' Landi (1447–1500) was an Italian painter and sculptor of the early-Renaissance or Quattrocento period in Siena. He was a student of Vecchietta, then he shared a studio with Francesco di Giorgio from 1468. He painted ''Scenes from the life of St Benedict'', now in the Uffizi, probably in collaboration with di Giorgio, and ''Madonna and Child between Saint Jerome and Saint Bernard'', which is in the Pinacoteca Nazionale of Siena. In 1472 he painted an ''Assumption'' for the abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, and in 1475 created a statue of Saint Catherine of Siena for the Sienese church dedicated to her. He separated from di Giorgio in 1475. In 1476, he painted ''Madonna and Child with St Michael and St Bernardino'', a triptych now in the Pinacoteca Nazionale of Siena.Gertrude Coor, Neroccio de' Landi 1447-1500, Princeton, New Jersey, Princeton University Press, 1961, 235 p., 30 x 23 cm.

Cathedral Of Siena
Siena Cathedral () is a medieval church in Siena, Italy, dedicated from its earliest days as a Roman Catholic Marian church, and now dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. Since the early 13th-century the Siena Cathedral has been an important part of the Sienese identity. One way to see this is the continuous building projects constantly surrounding the cathedral from its earliest days, aiming at reinforcing and expanding this site. Indeed, it was the community of citizens that continually advocated for the cathedral to become one of the largest churches in Europe. For centuries the Cathedral acted as more than just a place of worship - it was the center of the city and a place to express civic pride. The cathedral was designed and completed between 1215 and 1263 on the site of an earlier structure. It has the form of a Latin cross with a slightly projecting transept, a dome and a bell tower. The dome rises from a hexagonal base with supporting columns. The dome was completed i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

15th-century Italian Sculptors
The 15th century was the century which spans the Julian calendar dates from 1 January 1401 (represented by the Roman numerals MCDI) to 31 December 1500 (MD). In Europe, the 15th century includes parts of the Late Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the early modern period. Many technological, social and cultural developments of the 15th century can in retrospect be seen as heralding the " European miracle" of the following centuries. The architectural perspective, and the modern fields which are known today as banking and accounting were founded in Italy. The Hundred Years' War ended with a decisive French victory over the English in the Battle of Castillon.

1500 Deaths
Year 1500 ( MD) was a leap year starting on Wednesday in the Julian calendar. The year 1500 was not a leap year in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. The year 1500 was the last year of the 15th century and the first year of the 16th century. The year was seen as being especially important by many Christians in Europe, who thought it would bring the beginning of the end of the world. Their belief was based on the phrase "half-time after the time", when the apocalypse was due to occur, which appears in the Book of Revelation and was seen as referring to 1500. This time was also just after the Old World's discovery of the Americas in 1492, and therefore was influenced greatly by the New World. Historically, the year 1500 is also often identified, somewhat arbitrarily, as marking the end of the Middle Ages and beginning of the early modern period. The end of this year marked the halfway point of the 2nd millennium, as there were 500 years before it and 500 years after it. Eve ...

The Virgin Recommends The City Of Siena To Jesus
''The Virgin Recommends the City of Siena to Jesus'' () is the subject of a table of Biccherna painted by Neroccio di Bartolomeo de' Landi in 1480. History In Siena, it was customary for painters to illustrate wooden tablets that were used to bind books in which notaries registered the accounts of the Biccherna (managed by the chamberlain, himself designated by the authorities of the Commune for six months) before storing them in the State Archives of Siena. The Commune occasionally delegated the decoration of its binding plates to influential painters. In particular, the cover of the 1344 ''Gabella'' was painted by Ambrogio Lorenzetti. Bernard Berenson, Emil Jacobsen, Lucy Olcott and Allan Stuart Weller, among others, attributed the registry of the 1480 ''Gabella'' to Neroccio di Bartolomeo de' Landi. Michele Maccherini suggested a probable command from Neroccio's uncle, Iacomo di Benedetto di Neroccio (then a functioning magistrate), whose blazon and name appear on the table. ...

Monte Oliveto Maggiore
The Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore is a large Benedictine monastery in the Italian region of Tuscany, 10 km south of Asciano. Its buildings, which are mostly of red brick, are conspicuous against the grey clayey and sandy soil—the ''Crete senesi'' which give this area of Tuscany its name. It is a territorial abbey whose abbot functions as the ordinary of the land within the abbey's possession, even though he is not consecrated as a bishop. It is the mother-house of the Olivetans and the monastery later took the name of ''Monte Oliveto Maggiore'' ("the greater") to distinguish it from successive foundations at Florence, San Gimignano, Naples and elsewhere. History It was founded in 1313 by Bernardo Tolomei, a jurist from a prominent aristocratic family of Siena. In 1319 or 1320 it was approved by Bishop Guido Tarlati as ''Monte Oliveto'', the name being a reference to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, to honour Christ’s Passion. Construction of the monastery was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
