Synopsis

Luca Signorelli or Luca da Signorelli (born in Cortona, 1450 – d. 1523) was an Italian painter, one of the great masters of the so-called School of Umbria. He was an advanced disciple of Piero Della Francesca from whom he learned his treatment of perspective, while his expertise in drawing anatomy is due to the influence of Antonio del Pollaiuolo.He completed his training by staying briefly in Florence. His interest in Florentine art was quickly differentiated from that of Piero Della Francesca by his ability to give expression to movement.From his early years, Signorelli presented a unique style that combined the vibrant linear dynamism of Pollaiolo and Verrocchio with the calm spatiality, as can be seen in the processional banner of the Flagellation of Christ - c. 1475, Brera.His style possesses a great tension that is evident in the tendency of the figures to transcend the limit of perspective indicated by the frame of the work - which can be seen especially in the Adoration of the Magi and the San Sebastian. This tendency is even more evident in his frescoes.Thus, between 1484 and 1490 Signorelli produced numerous works of ever more complex composition, his art being crowned by his performance as a fresco artist.All his frescoes, inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy which he performed between 1499 and 1502, represent his capolavori (masterpieces). Due to their passionate expressive violence, the crudeness of the pictorial realization and the iconographic complexity, they are the most significant predecessors of Michelangelo and Raphael.
