Years: 1449 - 1449
Rogier van der Weyden, official city painter of Brussels, visits Ferrara in 1449, where the Flemish master's characteristically tense linearism influences the young local painter Cosimo Tura, whose aesthetic is grounded in the illusionistic, antiquarian style of the Paduan artist, collector, and art dealer Francesco Squarcione.
