The volume deals with the Master of Ozieri's enigmatic personality and his activity as painter of heterodox retablos in Sardinia between the 1540's and 1550's. The book analises the painter's own re-elaboration of southern Raphaelism, which involves a dialectic relation with Polidoro da Caravaggio. It also casts light on the unprecedented influence of Jan van Scorel's conception of landscape according to Patinir's metaphorical construction of natural background, interpreted as life's pilgrimage. The painter's composite and multiple set of landmarks, both northern and Mediterranean, is clarified through many detailed comparisons which do not overlook the role of printmaking.

Abstract
The volume deals with the Master of Ozieri's enigmatic personality and his activity as painter of heterodox retablos in Sardinia between the 1540's and 1550's. The book analises the painter's own re-elaboration of southern Raphaelism, which involves a dialectic relation with Polidoro da Caravaggio. It also casts light on the unprecedented influence of Jan van Scorel's conception of landscape according to Patinir's metaphorical construction of natural background, interpreted as life's pilgrimage. The painter's composite and multiple set of landmarks, both northern and Mediterranean, is clarified through many detailed comparisons which do not overlook the role of printmaking.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
