Posthumous portrait of 6mo Sinbaldo Gaddi post 1564 with black page & a dog ptd by Maso da Sa Friano. Odd choice in many ways.
[From] a private collection currently on view at the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence for a mannerism show.
It’s not that posthumous (after they’ve died) portraits of children were a completely anomaly, but usually the children depicted are older. This is definitely a baby. Also, the pose, the staging, the drapery, and the inclusion of another person (notice he’s wearing mourning clothes) are all odd for this genre.
The Library of Congress (LOC) announced this week that it had acquired and digitized an incredibly rare 16th-century Mesoamerican manuscript. Known as the Codex Quetzalecatzin, it dates from between 1570 and 1595, and was created during a moment of Spanish royal investigation into the resources of their colonies. This era of maps were mostly painted by indigenous artists, and the detailed cartography of the manuscript includes local symbols for geographic features like rivers, roads, and paths.
I’m on twitter trying to find out if I can get a better image of this incredible painting! info so far: Hans Krell. Black Knight. Oil and Tempera on Canvas, c. 1550s. 202 x 90 cm, Liepzig, Germany. Image of the Black in Western Art (Harvard University).
Here’s the link to the Stadtgeschichtliches Museum Leipzig website, where the first color image I’ve seen of this work was found (although it’s terrible quality, the colors are amazing!!). I’ve inquired on facebook as well, to see if they’re interested in sharing more photos of this work!
