Michelangelo’s Centauromachia is strictly related with ancient art. The cultural background of his first years of activity has been studied by many scholars, who individuated some key-figures of his youth: one of them is Bertoldo di Giovanni. The strong link between Michelangelo’s Centauromachia and a bronze-relief executed by Bertoldo was established over a century ago. The relief of Bertoldo di Giovanni has its most direct model in a late-roman sarcophagus, which he had seen in Pisa. This paper aims to prove the existence of a direct iconographical link between three figures of the Centauromachia and three fighting figures of another late-roman sarcophagus in Pisa: the sarcophagus A 13 est.

Abstract
Michelangelo’s Centauromachia is strictly related with ancient art. The cultural background of his first years of activity has been studied by many scholars, who individuated some key-figures of his youth: one of them is Bertoldo di Giovanni. The strong link between Michelangelo’s Centauromachia and a bronze-relief executed by Bertoldo was established over a century ago. The relief of Bertoldo di Giovanni has its most direct model in a late-roman sarcophagus, which he had seen in Pisa. This paper aims to prove the existence of a direct iconographical link between three figures of the Centauromachia and three fighting figures of another late-roman sarcophagus in Pisa: the sarcophagus A 13 est.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
