Simone di Filippo Benvenuti, known as Simone dei Crocifissi (Bologna, about 1330 - Bologna, 1399), was an Italian painter. ==Biography== Simone, known as a painter of Bologna during 1354 to 1399, was active in the wake of Vitale da Bologna's previous experience, which he engaged in a robustly more popular style of painting. He was son to the shoemaker Filippo di Benvenuto and in the seventeenth century was renamed "of the Crucifixes" for his “ability to paint great images of the Redeemer, for our sake nailed to the cross" (Malvasia). The initial artistic phase of Simone Di Fillipo can be seen via the frescoes of the life of Christ that come from the church of Santa Maria di Mezzaratta (mid-fifties of the fourteenth century), now preserved in the National Art Gallery of Bologna (Pinacoteca di Bologna), where the interest for Florentine Giotto's space and plastic solutions is interpreted with a sharp expressivity. The influence on Simone of Vitale's painting style can be caught in works such as the polyptych 474, also preserved at the Pinacoteca. On the other hand, works like the ''Pietà'' by Giovanni Elthinl (1368), and the ''Crucifix of St. James'' (1370), on display in the same museum, highlight the influence of Jacopo Avanzi and his solemn style, even if re-interpreted stressing the devotional goal, as in the ''Madonna'' by Giovanni da Piacenza (1382). These are the characteristics that enabled Simone dei Crocifisso to reach a leading position in Bologna soon afterwards, gaining pre-eminence as the author of wooden altarpieces for local churches and for individual customers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simone dei Crocifissi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
