Th Florentine School
1450-1750
.There was a
radiance and
dignity about Florentine art
from the very beginning. It was never too
passionate and
extravagant, for the
patrons that
commissioned and
purchased it. The Florentine
painters were devoted to
theological, classical,
allegorical subjects,
flowing compositions,
soaring, broad lines,
conspicuously dramatic colors.
Florentine genius
Michelangelo asserted
"If it be true that any
beautiful thing raises
the pure and just desire
of man from earth to
God, the eternal fount
of all, such I believe
my love." By and large
the painters of Florence were a much more
emotional bunch compared with their
neighbors the
Venetians.
