Description:
|
Coltellini was almost certainly trained within the circle of Ercole de’ Roberti. His early work, including the signed and dated Death of the Virgin (1502; Bologna, Pin. N.) is characterized by a harsh, archaizing style that reveals the influence of northern art. The Death of the Virgin was inspired by Martin Schongauer’s engraving of the same subject (ca. 1480; b. 33) and appears to express the sense of religious contrition felt by Coltellini, who was one of the lesser exponents of the religious fervour that characterized the final years of the dukedom of Ercole I d’Este, Duke of Ferrara, partly as a result of the influence of Girolamo Savonarola.
