Bartolommeo, Fra |
Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.03 sec. |
Bartolommeo, Fra (c. 1472-1517)Italian religious painter of the High Renaissance, active in Florence. He introduced Venetian artists to the Florentine High Renaissance style during a visit to Venice in 1508, and took back with him to Florence a Venetian sense of colour. His style is one of classic simplicity and order, as in The Mystical Marriage of St Catherine (1511; Louvre, Paris). Greatly affected by the preaching of the revivalist Girolamo Savonarola, he burned all his nude studies, and on Savonarola's death became a Dominican monk at S Marco. After an interval due to this disturbance he resumed religious painting, and when Raphael visited Florence in 1506 he made Fra Bartolommeo's acquaintance, each artist influencing the other's work.

As the author examines the work of twelve painters, Perugino, Leonardo, Hero di Cosimo, Michelangelo, Fra Bartolomeo, Ridolfo Ghirlandaio, Andrea del Sarto, Franciabigio, Rosso Fiorentino, Pontormo, Salviati, and Vasari, he observes a dichotomy of style between innovative and conservative painters. This raises the issue of how much the mountain-born Chiara could have read and understood her younger lover's letters with classical allusions (based on letter-writing guides); Weinstein presupposing limited female literacy postulates a clerical interpreter, fra Bartolomeo. |
