active around 1324 -1333 · Rimini and legacy of Giotto
Pietro da Rimini was active in the first half of the 14th century, mainly around 1324 -1333. His life remains almost entirely unknown, but the works attributed to his hand place him among the most expressive painters of the Rimini school. This school developed after Giotto's passage and commissions in the city, notably his great Crucifix for San Francesco. Pietro assimilates the bodily construction, the weight of the draperies and the emotional intensity of the Florentine master, then adapts them to a more fragile and linear sensitivity. The crucified Christ preserves the monumentality of a large crucifix suspended above an altar or choir fence. The body sagging, the inclined head and the golden background make suffering immediately readable. The Deposition from the Cross, painted around 1325 -1350 on poplar, tightens the gestures around the descended body: the hands support, touch and accompany the pain. Nativity and Announcement to the Shepherds juxtaposes several moments of the story according to a medieval logic where the same panel deploys sacred time. Pietro does not seek the naturalist space of the future Renaissance. He does not seek the naturalist space of the future Renaissance. He uses gold, color, contour and inclination of bodies to establish a spiritual and emotional hierarchy. His preserved corpus is rare and sometimes discussed, but its influence can be read in the following Riminese generation, in particular at Giovanni Baronzio. The "Pietro da Rimini" selection notably compares The Crucified Christ and The Deposition from the Cross. His reading favors drawing.
Pietro da Rimini gives weight to the golden background: the sacred surface remains motionless, while bodies, hands and eyes bring all human pain into it.
