- Title
Questione di stile: Carlo Crivelli e i rapporti con la miniatura.
- Authors
De Carolis, Francesco
- Abstract
The essay that is presented intends to open a new front within the issues related to its production, and aims to take into consideration the relationship that Carlo Crivelli established with the miniature. The paper is inspired by the study of a neglected drop cap preserved at the Fitzwilliam Museum of Cambridge. In this miniature, cut out and coming from a gradual, the figure is clearly inspired by Saint Andrew the Apostle of the upper compartment of the polyptych of San Domenico di Ascoli Piceno signed and dated 1476, now held at the National Gallery in London. Even though they are the links with Carlo Crivelli are not at all evident, the research on the artist is completely silent regarding it to the existence of the sheet, and the same specialist studies on the specimen have only addressed it the style marginally, however generically tracing it back to the Ferrara area. The present contribution instead intends to delve deeper into the question thanks to the discovery of another drop cap, also clearly produced starting from some paintings made by the Venetian master. For this reason, the paper focuses first of all on the formal analysis of the two works and on their stylistic comparison, wanting to demonstrate how they came from the same volume. The research continues with a reflection which extends to other possible areas of influence of the author of the works presented, such as the Lombard and Leonardesque which recalls the face of the Virgin with the initial S.
