Domenico Beccafumi was an Italian greatest painter and sculptor in Mannerism time. He was also a leader in the post-Renaissance style. He was born Montaperti, Siena, the Republic of Siena in 1486, and he died in May 1551. He went to Rome to study the work of Raphael and Michelangelo during 1510. During 1518 and 1546, he created great fine designs for the commesso in the pavement of the Siena cathedral. The images on the commesso were colorful and rich and the Old Testament scenes made a good impression for Charles I of England. I love the way how he just focusing on showing the cloth of the “A Philosopher” figure and tried to let us guess.

One thought on “High Renaissance and Mannerism

  1. Sisy,

    Okay I’ve just had a look at your blogs and you’ve misunderstood what you needed to do. You were NOT suppose to post on an artist I covered in my PP lectures yet you’ve done so with Giotto in Late Gothic/Early Renaissance, as well as Durer in High Renaissance/Mannerism. I think you need to go back and choose separate artists from each of these periods and re-post.
