{"product_id":"matteo-rossetti-crocifissione-di-san-bartolomeo","title":"By Matteo Rosselli - Saint Andrew led to martyrdom","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe print is based on a work by the Florentine painter Matteo Rosselli. The scene is inspired by the martyrdom of Saint Andrew, depicted, according to tradition, as an old man with a thick beard and long hair. The saint is led to the cross with its arms crossed in an X that still bears his name today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eMatteo Rosselli, who lived between the late 16th and early 17th centuries, was one of the most important artists of the Counter-Reformation period. Thus, the execution of this work predominantly reflects the pursuit of naturalism, a characteristic of the 17th century: in opposition to the artificiality of Mannerism, the artists, guided also by the directives of the Council of Trent regarding sacred art, returned to a classical stylistic register that looked to Renaissance naturalism, especially that of Titian and Raphael. This artistic climate is evidenced by this beautiful engraving, which exhibits a monumentality and magniloquence that hark back to the High Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e From a formal point of view, the engraving presents a perfect executive technique in reproducing Matteo Rosselli's work with a refined graphic hatching.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lang Federica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218207388034,"sku":"FLAN006","price":800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/Schermata-2022-06-13-alle-17.05.03.png?v=1768471886","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/matteo-rossetti-crocifissione-di-san-bartolomeo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
