Το Πρόσωπο του Χριστού

The Last Judgement, detail of Jesus, 1305-13,
Fresco, Arena Chapel at Padua, Italy.

Giotto
(1267-1337)

Giotto is considered to have been the most important Italian painter of the 14th century. His conception of the human figure in broad, rounded terms—rather than in the flat, two-dimensional terms of Gothic and Byzantine styles indicated a concern for naturalism that was a milestone in the development of Western art.

He was born Giotto di Bondone in Colle di Vespignano, near Florence. Details of his early life are scarce, but he probably served an apprenticeship in Florence before embarking on a career that took him to Rome, Padua, Arezzo, Rimini, Assisi, and Naples.

Matthias Grünewald
(1475-1528)

Matthias Grünewald was a German painter whose work, along with that of the German artist Albrecht Dürer, represents the supreme accomplishment of the Renaissance in northern Europe.

Misnamed by 17th century sources, Grünewald may have originally been named Matthias, Mathias, or Mathis Gothardt-Neithardt, and was born in Würzburg, possibly in 1475. In about 1519 he married, thereafter often signing his work with his name and his wife's surname, Niethart, or with a monogram of the intertwined initials M, G, and N. Documents place him in Seligenstadt from 1501 to 1521 as the owner of a workshop. By 1509 he had become court painter to the archbishop of Mainz, and by the second decade of the century he was also accepting commissions in Isenheim and Aschaffenburg. Because of his Protestant sympathies, he was forced to move, first to Frankfurt in 1526 and then to Halle in 1527; he died in Halle in August of the following year. His surviving work consists of only ten paintings—several of them polyptychs (multipaneled altarpieces)—and about 35 drawings, in various European and American collections. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Grünewald did not engrave or make prints. His earliest unquestioned painting is the vivid, emotionally charged Mocking of Christ (1503, Alte Pinakothek, Munich), which, with its distortions and brilliant color, foreshadows his mature work.

Ricci, Sebastiano
(Italian, 1659-1734)

Coming from a family of artists, Sebastiano Ricci began his formal artistic training in Venice. He then traveled extensively, working in Vienna, London, and Paris at times. His dramatic work created in the style Paolo Veronese was popular among royalty and religious patrons throughout Europe. As Sebastiano�s artistic reputation grew, so did the knowledge of his numerous crimes, imprisonments and love affairs. After impregnating Maddalena van der Meer in Venice, Ricci attempted to poison her. However, his plot was uncovered and he was put in jail only to be freed with the assistance of a nobleman. He then fled to Bologna where he was forced to marry by a papal official. Cardinal Antonio Pignatelli, later Pope Innocent XII, provided Ricci with most of his commissions while he was in Bologna.
