Known to Federico Zeri (Cat. Fototeca Federico Zeri, scheda no. 58150), this innovative and surprising painting fully reflects the eccentricity and inventiveness of the Tuscan master, beginning with its unprecedented compositional solution. The Gospel episode of the Tribute Money \u2013 in which Christ utters the famous phrase, \u201cRender unto Caesar the things that are Caesar\u2019s, and unto God the things that are God\u2019s\u201d \u2013 is approached by Mazzoni through a tightly packed assembly of expressive and agitated three-quarter-length figures compressed into a space reduced to the bare essentials. Within this setting, the painter also introduces, in the foreground, the enigmatic figure of a reclining nude youth. The markedly upward-looking perspective of the composition, particularly evident in this figure, led the scholar Paolo Benassai \u2013 author in 1999 of the monograph on the artist and of a study devoted to this painting \u2013 now included in the catalogue raisonn\u00e9 of the artist\u2019 work \u2013 to suggest that the painting was intended to be viewed from below, perhaps serving as a \u2018sovrapporta\u2019 (a decoration above a door). According to the scholar, although comparisons may also be drawn with works dating from Mazzoni\u2019s Florentine period, the canvas reveals \u201ccloser affinities [\u2026] with the works from the artist\u2019s early maturity, executed his definitive move to Venice\u201d. In this period Mazzoni emerged as an \u201coriginal interpreter of the lesson of Bernardo Strozzi and a precursor of many Venetian tenebrosi\u201d. Indeed, it would be difficult to imagine such creative force, such bold and unhinged handling of the brush, without taking into account the consequences of the artist\u2019s arrival in the lagoon city, this \u201cdouble madman\u201d of Italian art \u2013 as Mazzoni desbribed himself, alluding to his activity as both painter and poet.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>PUBLICATIONS:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cCatalogo Fototeca Fondazione Federico Zeri\u201d, entry no. 58150.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cSebastiano Mazzoni (1611 -1678)\u201d, edited by Paolo Benassi, Edizioni Dei Soncino, Cremona, 2019, pp. 101 and 209.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1723,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"portfolio-types":[46],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/3285"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3285"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio-types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-types?post=3285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
