Légende

Saint Benedict and Saint John the Baptist, 1487-1492. These refined figures of St. Benedict and St. John the Baptist are from an altarpiece commissioned in 1487 for the high altar of the church of St. Giuliano in the town of Fermo on the Adriatic coast. Vittore was a follower of his more famous brother Carlo Crivelli. These figures are more staid than those of this brother but the emphasis on drawing visible through the paint is like his brother's; for example the curly hair of John's chest and the prominence of the shading using parallel lines running upper right to lower right. That orientation tells that he was right-handed.
