Piero di Cosimo, born in Florence on January 2, 1462, is considered an outstanding painter and draftsman of the Renaissance. Named after his teacher Cosimo Rosselli, his extraordinary skills left an everlasting impression on the art world, which comes alive in each of our art prints. The son of the goldsmith Lorenzo di Piero d'Antonio, Piero di Cosimo found his way into the art world through Cosimo Rosselli, whose apprentice and assistant he became. Together they created impressive frescoes such as "The Passage through the Red Sea" and "Sermon on the Mount" in the Sistine Chapel in Rome. Despite the scant information about Piero's life, the brilliance of his work is undeniable.
His works reflect the artistic transformation of Florentine painting in the transitional period between the 15th and 16th centuries. One can see influences from masters such as Filippino Lippi, Ghirlandaio, Luca Signorelli and especially Leonardo as well as the Milanese school. Despite these influences, he developed his own distinctive style, which in turn influenced artists such as Andrea del Sarto, Jacopo Pontormo, and Franciabigio. Giorgio Vasari, the famous Renaissance art historian, described Piero di Cosimo as a difficult and eccentric personality, a loner. These characteristics found their way into his mythological paintings, which often depicted unconventional and offbeat subjects. Among his most notable works are mythological compositions such as "History of Perseus" in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and "Venus, Cupid and Mars" in the Berlin Gemäldegalerie. Any art print reproducing these works captures the brilliance of Piero's creativity.
In addition to these paintings, Piero di Cosimo created a variety of religious subjects, altarpieces and portraits. His style, characterized by warm colors, a Leonardo-esque treatment of light and shadow, and a meticulous study of nature, set him apart from his contemporaries. He showed a preference for landscape painting that marked his unique approach to art. Piero di Cosimo died on April 12, 1521 in his hometown of Florence, but his legacy lives on. By reproducing his works in the form of art prints, we honor his incredible artistic journey and unparalleled talent. Each art print of Piero di Cosimo's work is a tribute to his influence and distinctive style.
