In the heart of Italy, more precisely in Ferrara, a fascinating art historical era opened up in the mid-16th century, centered on one particular artist: Ippolito Scarsella, often known simply as Scarsellino. This native of Ferrara presumed to create landscapes that simultaneously combined sacred and secular themes and magically anticipated later trends in 17th-century landscape painting. In such masterpieces, at the sight of which you can hardly hold your breath, you can clearly see the brilliance and quality that would be reflected in an art print of our company.
Born to the architecturally gifted but lesser known painter Sigismondo Scarsella and Francesca Galvani, Ippolito's life began in an artistic household. Despite personal tragedies - of his seven children, only two survived - he was undaunted and traversed Italy, absorbing a variety of artistic influences along the way. His insatiable thirst for knowledge and art became apparent early on, when he left for Bologna at just 17 and later moved to Venice. There, in the glittering city of canals, he studied intensively the works of the Venetian masters, especially in the workshop of the famous Veronese.
After fate struck and his father died in 1594, Scarsellino emerged as the true head of the family. He not only completed his father's works, but also assumed guardianship of his nephew Francesco, whom he trained in the arts. His impressive legacy is revealed not only in his paintings, but also in the numerous drawings he left behind. However, these sketches are largely unknown and form one of the great mysteries of art history.
His work reflects a mixture of influences: the elegance of Parmigianino, brought to Ferrara by Girolamo da Carpi, and the atmospheric world of Dosso Dossi. And during his stay in Venice, one clearly recognized the touch of Giorgione, Veronese and Tizian, which significantly influenced his art. An art print that captures Scarsellino's art is not just a reproduction; it is a window into a bygone era when art and passion went hand in hand. It is our mission to keep that spirit alive in every reproduction and to do justice to the great masters like Scarsellino. It is a journey to which we cordially invite you.
