Girolamo Romanino Pietà 1510 oil on panel Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice |
"The history of Cinquecento style in Brescia begins with Girolamo Romanino towards the end of the first decade. In 1510, a dated Pietà (Venice, Accademia) is in a style that equivocates between the Quattrocento and modernity, and more, important, between the Lombard mode that then dominated in Brescia and elements of style acquired from Venice. . . . What is in the Pietà requires that its artist should have known Venice at first hand, and not just the painting of Bellini but Giorgione's and perhaps the youthful Titian's. Painted in Brescia (for the church of S. Lorenzo), the Pietà was formed by a sequence of experiences that took Romanino from his native place to Venice and back again. . . . Romanino lived through the sixth decade, and in his latest years, probably in the main through the action of his son-in-law and collaborator, Lattanzio Gambara, he became susceptible to the influence of the Romanizing styles that by then were firmly established in Cremona and neighbouring Emilia."
