Galleriets top 10 Felice Riccio malerier
Burial of Christ
Felice Riccio presents the Burial of Christ, a somber composition centered on the pale, limp body of Christ. The scene captures a moment of profound grief, conveyed through the slumped postures and sorrowful facial expressions of the mourning group. This religious and tragic subject matter is rendered with an intense emotional weight, focusing the viewer's attention on the immediate space of the figures.
Christ in Limbo
The composition is vertical and claustrophobic, set within a dark, cavernous architectural space. Heavy stone arches recede into impenetrable shadows, creating a profound sense of depth through tenebristic layering. The palette is muted, dominated by deep blacks, earthy browns, and umbers, where the only relief comes from the pale flesh tones of the figures and the white of a loincloth. Lighting emerges from an unseen source, casting a dramatic chiaroscuro…

Felice Riccio: kunstneren
A Veronese Hand
Born in Verona in 1542, Felice Riccio entered a world defined by the heavy traditions of his father, Domenico Riccio. Known to many by the pseudonym Il Brusasorci, he did not merely inherit a profession but a specific way of seeing. His early years were spent absorbing the Mannerist language of his lineage, yet there was a distinct softness in his approach that set him apart from the sharper edges of his contemporaries. He moved through the late-Renaissance period with a quiet technical authority, eventually finding his way to Florence, where his presence was noted as late as 1597.
His work often sought a delicate balance between light and form. In pieces such as the Annunciation on the organ shutters of the church of the Madonna di Campagna, one finds a painterly, gentle version of Mannerism. He possessed a particular skill for working on touchstone, using slate to catch the light in ways that traditional canvas could not. This preference for texture and subtle luminism allowed him to create figures that felt less like statues and more like living presences within the shadows.
Evolution of Style
As the decades progressed, Riccio’s brushwork began to shed its rigid Mannerist constraints. The later years of his life, particularly from 1598 toward his death in 1605, saw a shift toward a style that anticipated the Baroque. This transition was marked by an increase in emotional weight and a more intense religious feeling. In works like the Giusti Altarpiece, he experimented with agitated gestures, even as he maintained a sense of normal proportion.
The movement of his art can be traced through specific subjects:
- The Finding of Moses (1584), which remains in Verona at Castelvecchio.
- The Flagellation of Christ, where he utilized a delicate luminism to transform familiar gestures.
- Religious compositions for the church of San Michele Extra, including the Four Saints on the organ shutters.
A Lasting Influence
While his own life ended in 1605, the technical foundations he laid continued through his students. He was a teacher to several painters who would go on to define the Veronese Baroque, including Alessandro Turchi and Pasquale Ottini. These pupils carried forward his sensitivity to color and his meticulous approach to composition. His legacy is found not in grand declarations, but in the quiet, refined tones that populated the churches of Verona and the collections of Bolzano.
