Cosmè Tura, "L'annunciazione", Ferrara

Speranza




Tura founded the school of Ferrara. He was the official painter to the court of the Duca d'Este.

Tura could adorn the subjects of his frescoes and paintings with a symbolism understandalble in his day but meaningless today to all but the initiated. The right hand of an organ door shows the Virgin. In the middle distance a little squirrel scampering across a transversal bar is the enigmatic and distracting element in the picture.
