Description

The painting Departure of St Augustin by Pietro Di Giovanni D'Ambrogio is a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance art. The painting's composition is impressive, showing Saint Augustine surrounded by heavenly figures as he prepares to depart for heaven. The figure of Saint Augustine is the focal point of the work, and his serene and pious expression conveys a sense of peace and tranquility.

The artistic style of the painting is typical of the Italian Renaissance, with meticulous attention to detail and excellent painting technique. The colors used are vibrant and rich, with gold and blue tones that highlight the figure of Saint Augustine and the celestial figures that surround him.

The history of the painting is interesting, as it was commissioned by the Medici family in the 15th century for their private chapel in Florence. The work was created by Pietro Di Giovanni D'Ambrogio, a Florentine artist who worked at the Medici court. The painting was considered one of the most important works in the chapel, and was kept there for centuries before being transferred to the Museum of San Marco in Florence.

A little known aspect of the painting is that Saint Augustine is not the only important figure depicted in the work. At the bottom left of the painting, a kneeling figure can be seen believed to be Pietro Di Giovanni D'Ambrogio himself, suggesting that the artist portrayed himself in the work.

In short, Pietro Di Giovanni D'Ambrogio's Departure of St Augustin painting is a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, with impressive composition, superb painting technique, and vibrant colors. Its little-known history and aspects make it even more fascinating and valuable as a work of art.
