STUDIO KLASS’ CINQUECENTO RUG COLLECTION<br />
TAKES CUES FROM RENAISSANCE ART<br />
Giovanni Bellini’s artwork, Pala di San Za<strong>cc</strong>aria, influenced the<br />
design of this Roverella rug, which forefronts soft blues and reds<br />
Maturo and Roscini emulated the Renaissance use of<br />
perspective using blocks of colour and geometric forms<br />
The other two rugs take their design cues from Ludovico Mazzolino’s painting, Presentazione di Gesù<br />
al tempio, and Giovanni Bellini’s artwork, Pala di San Za<strong>cc</strong>aria – both illustrating religious scenes in a<br />
variety of jewel-like <strong>to</strong>nes.<br />
The use of linear perspective in each of the paintings involved applying principles of mathematics and<br />
geometry <strong>to</strong> painting, <strong>to</strong> realistically portray space and depth in artworks.<br />
“Renaissance artists always tried <strong>to</strong> create a new type of space with their rules and techniques of<br />
perspective, which was a new field between openness and intimate withdrawal, something completely<br />
new compared <strong>to</strong> their predecessors,” said Maturo and Roscini.<br />
