Welcome to part 2 of this new Art History limited series. We started with Fra Angelico, and now we continue with another Quatrocentist painter whose work is very important in the development of Renaissance art, and that, of course, created the masters…classics…who still influence artists today.
Cheers…

A rather abrupt thematic change in the accompaniment. Twice. What up? Interesting (I’ve heard it before) use of bass guitar in the forefront in part 3. That your instrument of choice? (I’d have thought the organ or electric keyboard, but it was pretty much a guess.)
Say, it seems these XV guys (gals, too, I suppose) were pretty rambunctious sorts. Abducting nuns, poisoning folks, and the like. Hmm. Best keep an eye on this Cabrera dude. Painter, ain’t he?
Finally, verbose this morning eh? I notice these XV dudes were not familiar with babies. Too focused on the babes, I suppose. Anyway they depict babies too large, torsos too long, faces too mature, like miniature adults, full heads of hair.
Most interesting post this part II of the XV Quatrodudes. Thanks. Have a great day. I’m out now to see what trouble I can get into. And then, out of. Espie.

What prude believes «God» and The AAA (Associated ArchAngels) eschew the pleasures of wine, sex, (shudder) gluttony (okay, maybe there’s cause there) music, and chocolate? Being closer to the delivery date of the Ten Suggestions in Stone, the ilk of the abbeys and monasteries, the nunneries too, might have a better read on acceptable behavior, than we moderns. Reminded of Twain («Letters From Earth»?). Clemens himself harbored such thoughts, I reckon. If Hal were still around, I’d ask him. Neither Hal nor Samuel handy, I guess it’s up to you and me, amigo.

If I had known that being a monk came with being able to kidnap nuns to bear children, I may have signed up. Behavior aside, there is no arguing that his talents are obvious on the canvas. The color palette is wonderfully managed and the backdrop to these images is just as detailed and beautifully rendered as the main subjects. These works certainly appeal to my eye! Great video. Loved the music too. Give me a rambling bass line anytime!

This series is extending my knowledge of art far beyond my expectations Francesc. I may not be an artist (or painter if you prefer) and religious art isn’t really my bag, but your explanations and examples help me to appreciate how clever people like Fra Filippo Lippi actually were, especially where perspective is concerned.

That’s the importance of the series, not to feature religious art but to show how these painters helped to move the technique and the way art was done. Cheers my friend and all the best! Raised my wine glass to you!
