Miniature Painting Illuminated Manuscript Monza Antonio da
FINE MINIATURE PAINTING ON AN ILLUMINATED GRADUAL LEAF ON VELLUM From the End of the 15th or Early 16th Century
Near Milan: Antonio da Monza Illuminator ca. 1480-1505. With a very fine miniature painting of a Pentecostal scene featuring the Virgin and a dove set within a large “S†Spiritus Domini: A notable element is the variety of the faces of the Apostles. The miniature is framed within the elaborate initial. The left side is enriched by two quadrilobated compartments that include a splendid half-length image of God at the top and a dove symbolizing the Holy Spirit at the bottom. The entire grandiose sheet is framed by an elaborate border on four sides with candelabras cherubs and plant elements. All with bright colours and burnished in vivid gold. The verso bears musical notation and large initials with a brush in blue and red ink with filigree motifs in contrasting colours that mark the incipits of the various parts sung by the Mass rubricated in red. 660x460mm on vellum. A beautiful survivor bright and fresh and vivid. AN ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT LEAF OF EXCEPTIONAL BEAUTY. WITH VERY FINE AND LARGE MINIATURE PAINTING AND EXTENSIVE OTHER DECORATIVE ELEMENTS.<br> "The illuminator Antonio da Monza active ca. 1480/1505 brought a Renaissance fascination with antiquity to the art of manuscript illumination at the end of the 15th and early 16th century. Identified through his signature on a miniature from a liturgical book made for Pope Alexander VI and now in Vienna he was a native of Monza outside of Milan and a member of the Franciscan Order.<br> Antonio’s artistic style was influenced by Leonardo. Scholars have attributed to him several liturgical books as well as some miniatures in the Sforza Hours and in Antonio Minuti’s 'Life of Muzio Attendolo'. The recent discovery of villa of the Golden House of Nero and its Fourth Style wall paintings influenced Antonio’s work supplying him with a rich visual vocabulary of ancient motifs." - Getty Museum.<br> The sheet would have come from an antiphonary produced between Florence and Rome. This style is also close to miniatures and ornamental elements that are certainly central-Italian a cultural area to which Antonio de Monza approached during the period in the service of Pope Borgia. The use of candelabras for marginalia antique taste and layout make us think of the decorative system of the Vatican Loggias a model that spread throughout the manuscripts of central-Italian scriptoria products.
