In the splendid age of the Renaissance, when Florence became the cradle of artistic excellence, a certain Francesco di Stefano, better known as Pesellino, left his unmistakable mark on the world of art. Born in 1422 and raised in the shadow of destiny, the influences of the painters in his family - his father Stefano di Francesco and his maternal grandfather Giuliano Pesello - became his most faithful teachers. The loss of his father in 1427 and the subsequent care of his grandfather resulted in the adoption of the epithet 'Il Pesellino', a tribute to the artistic heritage of his ancestors. Pesellino's artistic vision became more concise as time went on. Under the presumed guidance of his grandfather, he developed and eventually entered his own workshop in the heart of Florence with Piero di Lorenzo and Zanobi di Migliore. There is evidence that for a time he was a student of the renowned Fra Filippo Lippi, whose style exerted a tremendous influence on Pesellino's work. His studio, located in Corso degli Adimari (now Via dei Calzaiuoli), became the vibrant center of artistic creation where his expressive and characteristic works were created.
Pesellino was a master of the small format. In his hands, sacred motifs and legendary stories took shape, elaborately staged in small paintings and ornate bridal chests known as cassoni. With myths and legends as the basic theme of his works, he created a series of breathtaking pieces of art that transport the viewer into another world. After all, his works bear more than a passing resemblance to the contemporary painter Fra Filippo Lippi, whose workshop probably completed some of Pesellino's unfinished works after his untimely death in 1457. Our fine art prints of Pesellino's artwork manage to preserve and reflect the unique aesthetic of his originals. The same care and precision with which Pesellino created his small-format masterpieces and cassoni goes into our production of fine art prints. His painting style, which predates the development of subsequent Florentine painters such as Verrochino and Pollaiuoli, remains alive through our art prints, allowing you to relive the magic of the Renaissance.
