Though trained in the late Gothic style of Antonio Vivarini, as his earliest works show, and familiar with the drawings of Jacopo Bellini, from which some of his mature compositions derive, Crivelli was profoundly influenced by early Renaissance art in Padua.
For full biographical notes, and for earlier works, see part 1 also.
This is part 2 of a 3-part post on the works of Carlo Crivelli:
1473 Polyptych of St Emidio Cattedrale di Sant'Emidio, Ascoli Piceno.
The Sant’Emidio Polyptych is
exactly in the same place where it was first put in 1473. It was commissioned
to the Venetian painter Carlo Crivelli (ca. 1430 – ca. 1490) by the bishop of
Ascoli Piceno, Prospero Caffarelli, and was placed in Sant’Emidio cathedral –
never to be moved.
The painting – tempera and gold on
panel, its central panel reading “Opus Karoli Crivelli Veneti 1473” – was
originally placed in the chapel of the Holy Sacrament. It is a rare example of
well-preserved pictorial art from the 1400s. Even more extraordinary is the
fact that it is still in the same building after centuries.
The polyptych is about 290×280
centimetres, divided into three rows:

1476 The Demidoff Altarpiece:
This altarpiece
was painted by Crivelli in 1476 to sit on the high altar of the church of San
Domenico in Ascoli Piceno, in east central Italy. The polyptych was composed of
the central panel and eight smaller panels with saints. Originally there was a
predella (a lower section of the altarpiece ), now lost, and a lunette-shaped
Pietà above (now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.)
