Painting Description
"St. Martin, detail from the San Martino polyptych" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance artist Carlo Crivelli, created circa 1473. This piece is a fragment of a larger multi-panel altarpiece, the San Martino polyptych, originally located in the Church of San Martino in Monte San Martino, Marche, Italy. The polyptych, now disassembled, was one of Crivelli's significant commissions, showcasing his intricate and highly decorative style that stood apart from the prevailing trends of his time.
The panel depicting St. Martin is particularly celebrated for its exquisite detail and the portrayal of the saint, who was a Roman soldier before his conversion to Christianity. Crivelli's representation often includes the famous scene of St. Martin cutting his cloak in half to share with a beggar, a hallmark of the saint's iconography, though the specific actions depicted in this panel may vary.
Crivelli's work is characterized by its vivid colors, elaborate gold leaf ornamentation, and the use of trompe-l'œil effects to create the illusion of three-dimensionality. His figures are typically rendered with a certain stiffness and elegance, and their expressions convey a sense of piety and emotional depth. The "St. Martin" panel is no exception, reflecting the artist's meticulous attention to detail, from the textures of the fabrics to the individual hairs of the saint's beard.
The polyptych was likely dismantled in the 18th or 19th century, and its panels are now scattered across various art institutions. The "St. Martin" detail, like other panels from the altarpiece, is an important example of Crivelli's contribution to the art of the Italian Renaissance and provides insight into the devotional practices and artistic preferences of the period in which it was created. The current location of this specific panel may be in a museum or private collection, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
