Verified profile

The exhibition The Cinquecento in Ferrara. Mazzolino, Ortolano, Garofalo, Dosso constitutes the second stage of a broader and more ambitious investigation of the cultural and artistic fabric entitled Renaissance in Ferrara. 1471-1598 from Borso to Alfonso II d'Este, that is, the period between the city's elevation to a duchy and its transition from the Este dynasty to the direct control of the Papal State.
Natural continuation of Renaissance in Ferrara. Ercole de' Roberti and Lorenzo Costa (Palazzo dei Diamanti, February 18 - June 19, 2023), the exhibition narrates the events of painting in the early Cinquecento in Ferrara, from the years of the handover from Ercole I d'Este to his son Alfonso (1505) until the death of the latter (1534), a refined patron with great ambitions, capable of renewing both the private spaces of the court and the public spaces of the city.The disappearance of the generation of Cosmè Tura, Francesco del Cossa, and Ercole de' Roberti had left Ferrara facing the difficult challenge of a high-level artistic turnover. In 1496, the decision to engage Boccaccio Boccaccino indicates the willingness to adopt a more modern, softened, and gentle language. At the beginning of the new century, a new school develops, less endemic and more open to exchanges with other centers, with protagonists such as Ludovico Mazzolino, Giovan Battista Benvenuti known as Ortolano, Benvenuto Tisi known as Garofalo, and Giovanni Luteri known as Dosso.
