Perspective, sure, but other interests also occupied the early Quattrocento. The exhibition “Gentile da Fabriano and the Other Renaissance,” on view in Fabriano through July, explores Gentile’s courtly elegance, his luxurious use of gold and other materials, his portrait-physiognomical sensitivity, and his expert treatment of atmosphere. Works by other painters from the Marches provide context. Goffredo Silvestri discusses the show at length in La Repubblica. The catalog is published by Electa.
