Andrea Schiavone belongs to the record of art as a figure whose work outlasted the taste that first received it.
The record lists Andrea Schiavone as Italian painter (1510-1563).
Andrea Schiavone was born at Zadar in 1522. His recorded nationality is Italy.
This was the period in which the artist became an individual with a signature, a reputation and a price.
He worked as painter, fresco painter and draftsperson.
Among his best-known works are Christ before Pilate and Landscape with Jupiter and Io. Art history is a record of what got kept, which is not the same as what was best.
That the work was made in Italy shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Andrea Schiavone died in 1563, aged 41. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
