Description

In this work, the teacher Silvia Salvadori wanted to give more emphasis to the shimmering colors typical of Spinello Aretino's painting and at the same time ingenine the features of the angel's face with the typical trait of Simone Martini's hand. The angel's wings are also special. For example, in the original painting by Spinello Aretino angel wings are made heavy and static, while Silvia Salvadori added numerous light games. All the set is made with more naturalism and up to transform each feather into a true feather.  The painting is extremely elegant and even more enriched by the meticulous decorations made on the agate and punch stone. The decoration was further enriched by applying precious stones (rock crystal gems and blue sapphire) on the gold floral decorations. Very elegant is the pink and purple dress, also enriched by subtle glossy golden accents with the original "scratch" technique on gold. A bit of history: Spinello of Spinelli Spinelli, commonly known as Spinello Aretino (Capolona (Arezzo), 1350 - March 14, 1410) was an Italian painter, one of the most active in Tuscany in the second half of the fourteenth century. His family was originally from Capolona. “His father called Luca, a refined goldsmith, moved to Arezzo where Spinello grew "... so inclined by nature to being a painter, who almost without a teacher, being still a child, knew what many practiced, under the discipline of the best masters, do not know "(Giorgio Vasari). His training took place in Arezzo, where he learned from painter Andrea di Nerio.
