Dosso's rich color schemes are akin to those of his fellow North Italian Titian he learned something about innovative composition from Raphael and about the force of the body from Michelangelo. But his paintings have a very individual appeal. In leafy natural surroundings containing an array of animals and heavenly bodies, events unfold that are often enigmatic, enacted by characters whose interrelationships elude definition." "For this exhibition, almost all the surviving paintings have been brought together in the catalogue entries each one receives a fresh and comprehensive scholarly discussion. The catalogue also contains essays that describe Dosso's artistic career and the highly charged world of the court at Ferrara and that probe the visual poetry and subtle wit of his work. The illuminating results of an extensive campaign of technical examination, undertaken in connection with the exhibition, are discussed and illustrated in additional essays and in observations that accompany the catalogue entries throughout."--BOOK JACKET; Catalog of an exhibition held at the Pinacoteca nazionale, Ferrara, Sept. 26-Dec. 14, 1998, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Jan. 14-Mar. 28, 1999, and the J.
