Deruta art history: A handsome artist from the Renaissance

What a handsome and interesting man from the Renaissance, the artist Bernardino di Betto, known as "Pintoricchio" ( 1452-1513)!In this picture his self-portrait that you may visit in the town of Spello, Church of Santa Maria Maggiore.


Pintoricchio has inspired the art of Deruta and his influence in the ceramics art of the town is still vivid nowadays. He is the artist of the details, of small things, of the intricacy of the patterns and of the beauty of life. 

One of the best expressions of his art is the  "Piccolomini Library" in the Cathedral of Siena. The inside walls of the Library are fully painted with a pictorial cycle which is flawless and remained intact from the Renaissance times. A feast for the eyes!
