Painting Description
Game of Civettino (a Birth Salver) 2 is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni di ser Giovanni Guidi, commonly known as Scheggia. Scheggia, born in 1406 and deceased in 1486, was the younger brother of the renowned painter Masaccio. While Masaccio is celebrated for his pioneering contributions to the development of perspective in painting, Scheggia carved out his niche through his exquisite craftsmanship in decorative arts, particularly in the creation of birth salvers, also known as deschi da parto.
Birth salvers were ceremonial trays given to new mothers, often commissioned by wealthy families to commemorate the birth of a child. These trays were typically adorned with intricate paintings and served both a practical and symbolic purpose. They were used to present gifts or food to the mother and were later displayed as decorative objects in the home. The imagery on these trays often depicted scenes of domestic life, mythology, or allegory, intended to convey good fortune and blessings for the newborn.
Game of Civettino (a Birth Salver) 2 exemplifies Scheggia's mastery in this genre. The work is characterized by its vibrant use of color, detailed figuration, and the harmonious composition that reflects the humanist ideals of the Renaissance. The central scene of the salver likely portrays a playful or allegorical subject, rendered with a keen attention to detail and a lively sense of movement. Surrounding this central image, decorative motifs and patterns enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the piece.
Scheggia's birth salvers are significant not only for their artistic merit but also for their cultural and historical value. They offer insights into the social customs and artistic practices of 15th-century Florence, a period marked by a flourishing of the arts and a deepening appreciation for the role of art in everyday life. Game of Civettino (a Birth Salver) 2 stands as a testament to Scheggia's skill and the rich cultural heritage of the Italian Renaissance.
