francesco del cossa

Francesco del Cossa’s principal works, executed in tempera and oil, are distinguished by fine lines, vibrant color, and graceful forms. He devoted great attention to detail — whether in clothing, jewelry, or everyday scenes — lending his paintings a sense of realism and vitality. Unlike the Florentine masters del Cossa did not always adhere to the strict laws of perspective, giving his works a flatter, more decorative quality. Among Francesco del Cossa’s most important works are the frescoes in the Palazzo Schifanoia, the Annunciation altarpiece, and the Portrait of a Man with a Ring. His artistic legacy is preserved in many leading museums, including the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, the National Art Gallery in Bologna, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid. The works presented in our collection allow you to experience the unique atmosphere of the Early Renaissance.
