Piero di Cosimo

Piero di Cosimo born Pietro di Lorenzo di Chimenti sometimes called Piero di Lorenzo (Florence, January 2nd, 1462 - April 12th, 1522), is a Italian painter of the school florentine.

Biography

Its work, divided into three parts, religious painting, the mythological portraits and tables, was marked by painting Flemish E, by that of Pollaiuolo, Signorelli and Léonard de Vinci. It had in common with Léonard, the taste to observe the spots of the old walls, the shape of the clouds and to draw some as by caused hallucination, “of the marvellous inventions”.

Many of its paintings exploit a dualism between charming naivety and turbid erotism which appears very “modern”. Some appear well to constitute a continuation with the topic of “primitive Humanity” and a proximity with Hésiode and Lucrèce.

Its own direction of fantastic, its taste for the strange beings and the aberrant forms are specific characteristics to this painter who will be worth to him to be redécouvert by the Surréalistes qualified of eccentric. The concern which crosses the work of Piero di Cosimo also connects it with Botticelli.
