About Scipione Pulzone
Working at the height of the Renaissance period, Scipione Pulzone produced a body of work that remains foundational to Western art. The recurring themes across the surviving paintings — tragedy & death — show an artist returning to the same questions about the human figure, light, and the moral weight of a scene that Renaissance painting was uniquely equipped to answer.
Scipione Pulzone's paintings have found permanent homes at institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Every entry on Paintale digs into how each piece was made, what it depicts, and how it has been read and re-read since it left the studio.
