Piermatteo of Amelia, and the Renaissance in southern
Umbria celebrates the talent of a great protagonist of the painting of the fifteenth century.
Until 2 May 2010, the city of Terni and Amelia, will host an exhibition dedicated to the figure of Piermatteo D'Amelia (1448-1506), one of the great Renaissance masters in Umbria.
The show, intended to make it known to the public a teacher, who worked primarily in southern, Lazio and Rome, but that has long been considered an "artist without works."
The information was disproved over the years thanks to the perspicacity of the art historian Federico Zeri and the subsequent discovery of the commission contract blade of the Franciscans, painted for the church of San Francesco and now preserved in the Arts Center Opificio Syrians of Terni. The exhibition, curated by Vittoria Garibaldi and Francesco Federico Mancini, want to retrace the artistic life and the evolution of the painter who was, together with Perugino, the leading figure of the second XV. The exhibition is part of a project, which in recent years has wanted to give more resonance and value the art of Umbria, which already has promoted monographic exhibitions of great authors such as that of Perugino in 2004 and in 2008 the occasion of Pintoricchio.In was designed a route that will visit the town of Spoleto, Narni, Orvieto, Avigliano Umbro, sites of artistic training Piermatteo of Amelia, and locations where they kept the most significant evidence of his painting.
