Carlo Crivelli

Carlo Crivelli (c. 1430–1495) was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance, admired for his richly decorative style, jewel-like colors, and intricate detail. Active mainly in the Marche region, Crivelli developed a distinctive approach that blended Gothic elegance with Renaissance perspective and realism. His works are instantly recognizable for their elaborate ornamentation, use of gilding, and almost sculptural treatment of form.

Among his most famous masterpieces are the Annunciation with St. Emidius (1486, National Gallery, London) and numerous altarpieces, which combine devotional intensity with an opulent visual style. Crivelli’s art stands apart from his Florentine contemporaries, offering a more linear, decorative, and symbolic interpretation of the Renaissance that continues to fascinate collectors and historians today.
