1421 1481 Bartolommeo Cremona Historian Humanist Oval Trimming Platina Sacchi

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oval portrait depicts Bartolommeo de Sacchi, better known as Platina, a renowned Italian humanist and historian from Cremona. Born in 1421, Platina's intellectual pursuits led him to become a prominent figure in the world of humanist scholarship during the 15th century. His works, which included historical and biographical accounts, significantly contributed to the revival of classical learning in Europe. In this striking profile portrait, Platina is shown wearing a fur-trimmed hat, a common accessory among scholars of the time. The artist has captured the intellectual intensity and refined elegance of Platina, whose piercing gaze and serious expression convey a deep sense of focus and dedication to his scholarly pursuits. The intricate detailing of his clothing and the subtle textures of the fur trim further emphasize the sitter's status and wealth. Platina's legacy as a historian and humanist continued to influence the intellectual landscape of Europe long after his death in 1481. His works, which included the influential "De Vita Caesarum" or "Lives of the Caesars," showcased his extensive knowledge of classical literature and his ability to weave together historical narratives in a captivating and engaging manner. This portrait serves as a testament to Platina's intellectual prowess and his enduring impact on the world of humanist scholarship. This beautiful print is a rare and valuable glimpse into the life of one of the most influential figures of the Italian Renaissance. Its intricate detailing and striking composition make it a must-have for any collection focused on the history of humanism or the art of portrait painting.
