"Venetian artist Carlo Crivelli (c. 1430-1495) is a painter whose individuality of style and mastery of powerful line have fascinated many, but whose life and art have remained enigmatic. This book, drawing on extensive research in Venice and the Marches, the region of central Italy that Crivelli dominated artistically from 1468 until his death in 1495, examines his paintings in depth and traces the fundamental influences of the Vivarini, of Squarcione and Mantegna, and later of Flemish art." "Ronald Lightbown, eminent historian of Italian Renaissance art, interweaves stylistic and iconographical analysis of Crivelli's work with historical and cultural background. The author uncovers the reasons that led patrons to choose the saints that figured in Crivelli's altarpieces, discusses the initiations of new cults and the devising of an iconography for them, and demonstrates Crivelli's independence from clerical dictation in the symbolism of his still-life pictures."--Jacket Contents include: Artistic formation in Venice and Padua -- The Verona Madonna: symbolism in devotional paintings -- The marches in the fifteenth century: political and economic life -- The marches in the fifteenth century: cultural life; Plague and Penance -- The marches in the fifteenth century; popular cults; Loreto -- The marches in the fifteenth century: the Turkish threat and the activities of the religious orders -- The marches in the fifteenth century: heretical sects and the response of the Franciscan observants -- The altarpiece: form, function and imagery -- The Massa Fermana altarpiece, 1468: the Virgin and child -- The Massa Fermana altarpiece, 1468: Sts John the Baptist, Laurence, Sylvester, Francis -- The Massa Fermana altarpiece, 1468: The Pietà and Annunciation; the passion scenes of the Predella -- The Porto San Giorgio altarpiece: The Virgin and child; Sts Peter, Paul, George -- The Porto San Giorgio altarpiece: Sts Catherine, Lucy, Anthony Abbot; the Entombment -- The altarpiece for San Domenico in Fermo, 1472 -- The altarpiece for Sant' Agostino in Mont'Olmo: the Madonna del Latte -- The altarpiece for the high altar of the Duomo, Ascoli, 1473: the commission; the Virgin and child -- The altarpiece for the high altar of the Duomo, Ascoli, 1473: Sts John the Baptist, Peter, Paul, Emidio -- The altarpiece for the high altar of the Duomo, Ascoli, 1473: the Entombment -- The altarpiece for the high altar of the Duomo, Ascoli, 1473: Sts Catherine, Jerome, George, Ursula; the Predella -- The San Diego Madonna and the altarpiece for San Francesco, Montefiore -- The Lehman Virgin and child; the Ascoli Virgin and child; the altarpiece for the high altar, San Domenico, Ascoli; the scheme; the Virgin and child; St Peter -- The altarpiece for the high altar, San Domenico, Ascoli, 1476: Saints; the Pietà -- San Jacopo della Marca, 1477: images of Saints beatified by popular enthusiasm: Jacopo's life -- San Jacopo della Marca, 1477: Jacopo's cult; San Bernardino and the cult of the holy name -- The altarpiece for the small altar, San Domenico, Ascoli, circa 1479-1480 -- Criveli's Madonna; the St Mary Magdalene in Amsterdam -- Camerino and the Varano family -- The altarpiece for the Dominicans of Camerino, 1482 -- Flowers in Crivelli's art; altarpieces for San Francesco, force, 1482, and the Valle Castellana -- Collaboration with Vittore Crivelli; the Boston Pietà of 1485 -- The Ascoli Annunciation, 1486: historical background -- The Ascoli Annunciation, 1486: interpretation and symbolism -- Works of the late 1480s: the cult of St Roch -- The Beato Gabriele Ferretti: life and cult.; Vision of the Beato Gabriele Ferretti; patronage of Fra Bernardino Ferretti -- The Virgin and child in Macerata; St Francis receiving the precious blood of Christ in Milan; the Pietà in Paris, the Washington Madonna -- The altarpiece for San Pietro di Muralto, Camerino, 1488: patronage; the delivery of the keys, Sts Peter, Cyprian, Louis of Toulouse, Ansovino -- The altarpiece for San Pietro di Muralto, Camerino, 1488: Giovanni da Capistrano and Jacopo della Marca: the Pieta and side panels -- The altarpiece for the high altar of the Duomo of Camerino, 1488., Books<
