1593 -1630 · Pisa and Caravaggesque Rome
Orazio Riminaldi was born in Pisa in 1593 and died there in 1630. Trained in Tuscany with Ranieri Alberghetti then Aurelio Lomi, he went to Rome and discovered Caravaggio's revolution as well as the interpretations of his first disciples. His painting gradually abandons Mannerist elegance for life-size figures, a close space and a light that makes the action immediately physical. Isaac's Sacrifice, dated around 1625, captures the moment when the divine order is interrupted. Abraham maintains his son while the angel intervenes; hands, gazes and diagonals concentrate violence and relief in a very tight group. The proximity of faces gives the biblical story the force of human confrontation. Riminaldi also deals with mythological and religious subjects, including the Martyrdom of Saint Cecilia and large compositions for Pisa. His last monumental work, the Assumption of Pisa Cathedral, was completed after his death. Disappeared during the plague epidemic of 1630, he left a brief but decisive career in the spread of Caravaggio in Tuscany.

Riminaldi places the viewer on the edge of the action: the hand that holds, the body that resists and the angel that emerges make the biblical story a present urgency.
