CREDI, LORENZO DI (1459-1537), Italian artist, whose surname was Barducci, was born at Florence.
Credi's faces disclose a smiling beatitude; his pigments have the polish of enamel.
Credi often repeated himself in Perugino's way; but being of a pious and resigned spirit, he generally embodied in his pictures a feeling which is yielding and gentle to the verge of coldness.

 Lorenzo di Credi - Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Though not a very original painter, Lorenzo was technically proficient, with the result that the meticulously detailed, enamel-like surfaces of his pictures are, as a rule, better preserved than are the works of his teacher or his fellow pupils.
Lorenzo continued Verrocchio's style well into the sixteenth century, and the commissions he received were, accordingly, conservative in character, and mainly for half-length devotional pictures and altarpieces.
Lorenzo painted very few secular works, but he was sought after as a portraitist; among his finest works is a series of keenly observant metalpoint drawings of the heads of men, women, and children.

Lorenzo di Credi neither revealed a personal vision nor won to great accomplishment in craftsmanship-his feeling for form and his powers in uttering colour were neither remarkable nor vigorous nor subtle.
Di Credi assisted his master Verrocchio in the painting of the large The Madonna with Two Saints which stands in Pistoia Cathedral.

A drawing representing the head of a shepherd with a crown of laurels by Lorenzo di Credi (1456 or 1459-1537) smashed its estimate of between 2 and 3 million French francs to fetch 13,500 000 FF (US $ 1,805 million) at Drouot on March 23rd 2001.
In exceptional condition, the di Credi drawing was probably a sketch made for the 1500 painting titled “The Adoration of the Shepherds” as it corresponds with the shepherd placed on the left of that work.
Di Credi was a pupil of Verrocchio and his drawing came from a family that had kept it since its purchase in 1860 in Paris.

Measuring nearly five and a half feet tall, Lorenzo di Credi's Venus (about 1490) was lost for several centuries until the mid-1800s, when the painting was found in a back room of a villa once belonging to the wealthy Medici family, the one-time rulers of Florence.
Lorenzo di Credi was a prominent member of the artistic community in Florence around the turn of the 16th century.
In Lorenzo's version, the flowing locks of the young woman's hair are replaced with a diaphanous scarf.

He was consulted on most occasions when the opinion of his profession was required on public grounds, for example in 1491 as to the fronting, and in 1498 as to the lantern of the Florentine cathedral, in 1504 as to the place due to Michelangelo 's David.
Credi rivalled Fra Bartolommeo in his attachment to Girolamo Savonarola ; but he felt no inclination for the retirement of a monastery.
Still, in his old age, and after he had outlived the perils of the siege of Florence (1527), he withdrew on an annuity into the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova, where he died.

Si legge: Nella nota fidecommissaria è assegnato a Lorenzo di Credi e senza alcun dubbio giunse fino al 1888 in cui cominciarono osservazioni più studiate e confronti e pareri diversi fra critici in riguardo alla forza del colore e robusto chiaroscuro insoliti rinvenirsi nelle opere del Credi.
Negli anni in cui il giovane Baccio, futuro Fra’ Bartolomeo, frequentava la bottega di Verrocchio, il massimo responsabile era Lorenzo di Credi, con ogni probabilità già dall’ aprile del 1486, quando il Verrocchio lasciò Firenze per occuparsi del monumento equestre di Bartolomeo Colleoni a Venezia dove sarebbe morto (1488).
In quest’ultimo dipinto, sicuramente di Lorenzo Credi, la composizione è in controparte rispetto a Monaco, ma doveva essere molto ammirata a Firenze, dal momento che se ne conoscono diverse varianti contemporanee e alcune copie (Fahy ne enumera cinque).

 Adoration of the Shepherds by LORENZO DI CREDI
The absence of any emotional involvement may be due to the fact that at the end of his life Lorenzo di Credi was a disciple of Savonarola.
The figures in his paintings, as in this case, have serious, meditative expressions, are charged with an inner gloom which the painter mitigates only with that small amount of grace allowed in the church ceremony.
St Joseph, leaning on his staff, looks wistfully at the scene, and a shepherd holding a lamb looks to be distracted by something else.

This painting is a fine example of Lorenzo's late period.

Tradizionalmente attribuito al Montagna e al Fogolino, il dipinto é stato riferito a Lorenzo di Credi per la prima volta dall'inventario giudiziale del 1869 e tale attribuzione è stata sempre confermata dalla critica seguente.
Si tratta di uno dei più puri e rarefatti dipinti di Lorenzo, sia per il timbro di colore e la qualità della luce, che per la sintesi della composizione: poche figure modulate secondo il motivo circolare in un limpido paesaggio fantastico lontanamente per vie tortuose e specchi d'acqua.

Lorenzo di Credi, whose workshop produced dozens of devotional paintings for wealthy Florentine homes during the blossoming years of the Italian Renaissance, first trained as a goldsmith.
The sweet faces of the figures, their devout manner, and the sharp separation between foreground and background provided by the artist's placement of the group within a dense botanical setting combine to form immediately recognizable elements typical of di Credi's workshop.
In Madonna and Child with the Infant St. John and Two Angels, the figures are presented as an ideal and miraculous vision but, at the same time, with great immediacy through the use of bright colors, lush textures, and realistic detail.
