Tempera on panel Present expertise of Prof. Claudio Strinati: "The panel depicting the Madonna enthroned with Child between Saints JohnBaptist and Jerome (tempera on wood, 42.5 x 32.5 cm) is an unpublished work dated, for stylistic reasons and with relative approximation, to the firstquarter of the fifteenth century and attributable, albeit circumstantially, tolack of certain comparisons, to Gaspare da Pesaro, a painter activelong in southern Italy, attested by numerous archive papersand handwritten and then printed testimonies from the sources that inform usof his activity, but of to which not even a certain work remains, for signaturesor documents.And yet the clues found in the painting may lead us to think that we are faced with a work of very fine quality as well as excellent conservation and significant historical-artistic interest, probably by thehand of this legendary painter. The sources allow us, in fact, to framefirst of all the certain chronological terms of his work.Born in n the last decade of the fourteenth century, the painter andminiarist Gaspare da Pesaro died in 1461 after a fervent andcareer also honored by great clients such as the king of Naples Alfonso themagnanimous who invited him to the court of Gaeta to entrust him with a taskinherent in his skills as a miniaturist which, for that time, meantthe supply of both works on paper and paintings on small o div>very small format, suitable to be placed on a desk or in a study.Specialist in sacred painting, especially banners and banners,but also specialized in smaller-sized and elegant worksiconography, Gaspare da Pesaro was certainly a leading exponent ofthat Marche school of the fifteenth century which includes a series ofremarkable figures, including Giovanni Antonio da Pesaro in the first halfup to Nicola di Maestro Antonio da Ancona in the second half. The style ofour painting, under examination here, is purely Marche, with a mixture ofnaturalism (the beautiful and very shapely child and the almost spherical faceof the Madonna) and an abstract gothic tendency (the figure of the Baptistso emaciated or the witty Saint Jerome intent on reading). These figuresbelong to a typology of images that characterize the entire culture of the Adriatic area, influenced only partially by the school Venetian but also a participant in that Dalmatian culture which was sodecisive for another excellent Veneto-Marche native, Carlo Crivelli with which our painting has some point of contact. Traditionattributes, often with little foundation, to Gaspare da Pesaro worksvery different from each other, including even the Triumph of Death in Palermo.Nevertheless, the belonging of our table to the MarcheAdriatic culture would seem clear, while the impossibility of conducting convincing comparisons with other works by renowned authors leads us to think that we are faced with an illustrious artist, yes, but largely forgottenby historiography.All these deductions lead me, then, to think that the probable identikitof Gaspara da Pesaro may coincide with what can be seen inour painting. The clear canopy also brings to mind the processional painting of which Gaspare da Pesaro was a well-known master and the idea, fromauthentic illuminator, not to paint the Virgin's nimbus but to derive itfrom the gold background on which the entire panel is painted, would seem like a ploy /div>refined and elegant, worthy of a cultured pictorial mind.That mixture of the ironic and the solemn is a peculiar characteristic ofthis Adriatic art and a certain relationship with the other famous Pesaro of thetime, Giovani Antonio, makes the identification ofour painting with this unknown but notable painter. And even moreinteresting is to learn from the sources that Gaspare, in the first period of his activity, was in close relations of collaboration with a painter, about whom we also know nothing, called Niccolò di Magio, from Siena.And a certain influence of the Sienese environment of the early fifteenth century is alsopresent in our work under examination here. The first news we have ofGaspar are inherent to his first marriage contracted in 1415. It seemsprobable that our painting can be dated precisely in that period of time." 42.5x32.5 cm Gaspare Da Pesaro (attribuito a) Tempera on panel 42.5x32.5 cm Gaspare Da Pesaro (attribuito a) Tempera on panel
