To make sure he did complete the project, he was allowed to choose the subject, which was different from the Confraternity\u2019s initial request for a story from the life of the saint to whom its church was dedicated. The monumental altarpiece reflects the painter\u2019s mature style, combining elements from the works of Vasari, Michelangelo and Perin del Vaga that he had seen in Florence and Rome. The lofty horizon and the landscape with Jerusalem, tinged with blue, under a rocky mountain were probably inspired by his experience in Ferrara, where he had worked with Battista Dossi and Girolamo da Carpi in 1537. We can also detect echoes of the celebrated Bosi Altarpiece that the Dossi brothers painted (with Jacopone\u2019s assistance) for Faenza Cathedral in 1534, two surviving fragments of which are on display in the Pinacoteca, in such details as the bizarre headgear, identical to that sported by numerous figures in D\u00fcrer\u2019s prints, and in the crowded composition.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6999,"template":"","tag-opera":[],"tecnica":[58],"class_list":["post-2908","opera","type-opera","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tecnica-oil-on-wood"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera\/2908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/opera"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera\/2908\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7571,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera\/2908\/revisions\/7571"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tag-opera","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tag-opera?post=2908"},{"taxonomy":"tecnica","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tecnica?post=2908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
