The Acanthus High Renaissance captivates with its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship. From the detail of the capital on the left column of the choir in the Cathedral of Pisa to the marble pulpit by Antonio Maria Aprile and Giovanni Angelo Molinari at Savona's Cathedral, this artistic movement showcases unparalleled beauty. Intriguingly, even a stalled wooden seat in Salon of the Town Hall in Pistoia becomes a work of art when adorned with marble work by Giovanni Mati and his son Bartolomeo. The main portal of the Church of S. Andrea in Mantova mesmerizes with its grandeur, while Malatestiano Temple's First Chapel on the right boasts captivating capitals and cornices. Villa 'La Farnesina' in Rome welcomes visitors through an exquisite main door that exudes elegance and sophistication. Meanwhile, wooden stalls by Giovanni Mati and his son Bartolomeo take center stage in both Salon of Town Hall, Pistoia, as well as inside St. Mark's Basilica where they are accompanied by a bronze sarcophagus sculpted by Paolo Savin for Bishop Giovan Battista Zen. Delving deeper into this era reveals fantastic animals adorning these stunning wooden stalls once again within Salon Town Hall, Pistoia. Tile artist Giovanni Minello adds allegorical figures to columns found within Padua's Basilica of Sant'Antonio—each piece telling its own unique story. From breathtaking sculptures to elaborate architectural elements, each hint offers a glimpse into the magnificence that is Acanthus High Renaissance—a period defined by unrivaled artistry and attention to detail that continues to inspire awe today.
