We have little biographical information about artist Carlo Crivelli. Born in 1430/5 in Venice and dying around 1494, after having spent time in many different areas of Italy, Crivelli is a bit of a Renaissance oddity.
His religious works are highly detailed and a strange mix of Gothic and Renaissance which will be explored through his paintings on this guided tour. Together with guide Sarah Ciacci, learn to decode the stories, pull out the fabric and costume details, find the animals and their symbolism, uncover the meanings of the strange fruits, and understand a little more about Crivelli's fascinating life.
