Jacopo Bellini was one of the founders of the Renaissance style of painting in Venice and northern Italy. His sons Gentile and Giovanni Bellini, and his son-in-law Andrea Mantegna, were also famous painters.
Gentile da Fabriano was an Italian painter known for his participation in the International Gothic painter style. He worked in various places in central Italy, mostly in Tuscany. His best-known works are his Adoration of the Magi from the Strozzi Altarpiece (1423), and the Flight into Egypt. Following a visit to Florence in the 1419, he came in contact with humanism, which influenced his work throughout the rest of his career. He became highly influential for other painters in Florence, especially because of his use of detail based on the observations he made of the natural world.
Fabriano is a town and comune of Ancona province in the Italian region of the Marche, at 325 metres (1,066 ft) above sea level. It lies in the Esino valley 44 kilometres (27 mi) upstream and southwest of Jesi; and 15 kilometres (9 mi) east-northeast of Fossato di Vico and 36 kilometres (22 mi) east of Gubbio. Its location on the main highway and rail line from Umbria to the Adriatic make it a mid-sized regional center in the Apennines. Fabriano is the headquarters of the giant appliance maker Indesit.
The Madonna and Child with St. Anne, also known as Sant'Anna Metterza, is a painting of c. 1424-1425 by the Italian Renaissance painter Masaccio, probably in collaboration with Masolino da Panicale. The painting is in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy, and measures 175 centimetres high and 103 centimetres wide.
The decade of the 1420s in art involved some significant events.
The Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria the Italian national paintings collection of Umbria, housed in the Palazzo dei Priori, Perugia, in central Italy. Located on the upper floors of the Palazzo dei Priori, the exhibition spaces occupy two floors and the collection comprises the greatest representation of the Umbrian School of painting, ranging from the 13th to the 19th century, strongest in the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries. The collection is presented in 40 exhibition rooms in the Palazzo. On the second floor of the Gallery, there is an exhibition space for temporary collections, changed several times a year.
The St. Peter of Verona Triptych is a painting by the Italian early Renaissance master Fra Angelico, executed around 1428–1429. It is housed in the National Museum of San Marco, Florence, region of Tuscany, Italy.
Ottaviano Nelli (1375–1444?) was an Italian painter of the early Quattrocento. Nelli primarily painted frescoes, but also panel paintings. He had several pupils and two painters were influenced by him.
The Master of Staffolo was an anonymous late-Gothic style painter active in the region of Marche and Umbria.
Frederick Mason Perkins was an American art historian, critic, and collector.
Madonna della Consolazione is an oil on panel painting by Perugino, datable ca. around 1496–1498. The work, completed in April 1498, was carried out in the Sala delle Udienze of the Collegio del Cambio. Since c. 1820 it is preserved in the National Gallery of Umbria in Perugia.
Madonna and Child with St Herculanus and St Constantius or Madonna of the Kitchen is a 1515 painting by Perugino, now in the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria in Perugia. Its title refers to the fact that it once hung in the former kitchen of the Palazzo dei Priori in Perugia. The two accompanying saints are Herculanus and Constantius, both local saints to Perugia.
The Madonna of Loreto is a c.1507 oil on panel painting by Perugino, now in the National Gallery, London, which bought it in 1879. It shows the Madonna and Child flanked by Jerome (left) and Francis of Assisi (right). Two angels hover over Mary's head holding a crown. It reuses the low parapet from Madonna and Child with St Rose and St Catherine (1492) and probably also involved the master's studio assistants.
Madonna and Child is a c. 1400-1405 tempera and gold leaf on panel painting by Gentile da Fabriano, now in the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Ferrara. It is signed at the base. Before being restored in 1980 it was thought to be by a follower of the artist due to thick repainting on the whole work.
Madonna and Child is the only surviving fragment of a larger tempera and gold on panel painting by Gentile da Fabriano, executed c. 1423–1425. It is now in the Berenson collection at Villa I Tatti in Settignano. It is dated to the artist's Florentine period due to stylistic similarities with the Madonnas in his Quaratesi Polyptych and Yale Madonna
Madonna and Child is a tempera and gold on panel painting by Gentile da Fabriano, executed c. 1424, now in the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven. It is signed on the left jamb "Gent / Fabriano". Previously traditionally dated to 1420–1423, the new accepted dating is based on similarities between the background architecture and the north door of the Florence Baptistery, completed by Lorenzo Ghiberti in 1424.
Madonna and Child with Two Saints or Madonna and Child in Glory between Saint Francis and Saint Clare is a c.1390-1395 tempera and gold on panel painting by Gentile da Fabriano, now in the Pinacoteca Malaspina in Pavia. It is one of the earliest surviving works attributed to the artist.
Madonna and Child with Two Saints and a Donor is a c.1395-1400 tempera and gold leaf on panel painting by Gentile da Fabriano, the earliest surviving major work by the artist. Probably painted for the church of Santa Caterina in Castelvecchio in Fabriano, near to which it is now in the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin.
The Velletri Madonna is a tempera and gold on panel painting by Gentile da Fabriano, executed c. 1426-1427, the only surviving work from his stay in Rome. A Madonna of humility, it was in the church of Santi Cosma e Damiano until 1633 when Ludovico Ciotti di San Paolo, General of the Third Order Franciscans, donated it to the Church of Sant'Apollonia in Velletri. It is now in the Diocesan Museum in Velletri. A restoration in 1912 restored the top to its original triangular form.
Madonna and Child Enthroned with Two Angels is a c.1410-1415 tempera and gold on panel painting by Gentile da Fabriano. Its original provenance is unknown, though its small size probably means it was made for private devotion. It is first recorded in the early 20th century, when it was in the Casa Persicini in Belluno, which suggests it links to the painter's time in Venice. It is now in the Philbrook Art Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
