Late Renaissance

After 1520, with the early death of Raphael, the brief classical flowering of Italian painting was over, and the ways parted. While Florence and Rome cultivated form, Venice staked everything on colour and grand format, on pictures like stages. Paolo Veronese made of his painted banquets spectacles with dozens of figures; when the Inquisition objected in 1573 to the licence of a Last Supper picture, he simply renamed it The Feast in the House of Levi instead of changing it.

No less eventful was the century beyond the Alps. Hans Holbein the Younger became court painter to Henry VIII in London and set the standard of the courtly portrait. Anthonis Mor and his pupil Alonso Sánchez Coello shaped the austere Spanish court portrait, Nicholas Hilliard reduced the courtly likeness to miniature format for Elizabeth I. In Wittenberg Lucas Cranach the Younger led the paternal workshop through the decades of the Reformation, and in Antwerp Joachim Beuckelaer's market and kitchen pieces prepared the way for still-life painting.

That we read these decades at all as a connected story is itself a work of the sixteenth century: Giorgio Vasari, painter and architect in the service of the Medici, published his Lives of the Artists in 1550 and so founded the writing of art history. Beside the grand narratives the quieter masters of this collection hold their own, Dosso Dossi with his poetic, often enigmatic pictures for the court of Ferrara, or Jan van Scorel, who brought the Italian innovations home to the Netherlands.
