1490 Francesco Gloria Maria Pietro Sforza Tempera 15th Aisa Birago
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite tempera painting, titled "Allegory of the Earthly Glory of Francesco Maria Sforza," is a masterpiece by the renowned Italian artist Giovan Pietro da Birago, created in the year 1490. The painting depicts Francesco Maria Sforza, a prominent figure in Italian history, seated on a throne, surrounded by allegorical figures representing the virtues and vices. Francesco Maria Sforza (1451-1494) was a condottiero, or military commander, who rose to power in the Italian city-states during the late 15th century. He was a key ally of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, and played a significant role in the political landscape of northern Italy during this tumultuous period. The painting reflects the humanist ideals of the time, with the focus on the virtues and the celebration of the earthly accomplishments of a powerful and successful man. The allegorical figures surrounding Francesco Maria Sforza represent Fortuna (Fortune), Justice, Prudence, and Temperance, among others. The painting also includes symbols of power, such as the orb and scepter, and the artist's skillful use of color and detail creates a visually stunning work of art. The painting is now housed in the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, California, and is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the Italian Renaissance period. Giovan Pietro da Birago's "Allegory of the Earthly Glory of Francesco Maria Sforza" continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details, rich symbolism, and beautiful use of tempera painting techniques.
