Cosmé Tura: A Visionary Renaissance Artist

Early Life and Influences

Cosmé Tura (c. 1430-1495) was born in Ferrara, Italy, and is considered one of the most significant figures of the Quattrocento.

His birth name was Cosimo, but he later adopted the name Cosmé.

Tura's artistic education likely took place in the workshop of Francesco Squarcione in Padua. He was strongly influenced by Andrea Mantegna and Piero della Francesca.

Innovative Style

Tura's unique style is characterized by a blend of Gothic and grotesque elements.

His compositions exhibit a complex and intricate symbolism rooted in astrology and mythology.

He combined angular poses, serpentine lines, and elaborate drapery with a keen eye for decorative detail
