• Resumen

  • Brother Vincenzo Dalle Vacche (Verona ca. 1475-1531) acquired from his master, Brother Giovanni da Verona, the techniques of the art of wood inlay typical of the Olivetan school. At present only three panels by Brother Vincenzo have survived and can be seen in the Louvre: they were made between 1520 and 1523 for the Benedictine church of San Benedetto Novello in Padua. Both the themes (two still lives and a christological rooster) and the style of the three inlayed panels (compositions are filled to the limit) show an artistical language surely imbued with the manner of Giovanni da Verona, but also marked by tensions and anxieties unknown to the Olivetan master. Probably linked to the Protestant Reformation, these stylistic changes reveal the beginning of the end of the optimistic Renaissance inlay expressing an unshakeable faith in the harmonia mundi.
