Patio proveniente dal castello di Vélez Blanco

1506–15
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 534
Il patio proveniente da Vélez Blanco, vicino ad Almeria, è un gioiello architettonico. La struttura riflette le origini spagnole dell’architetto che ne concepì il disegno, come si nota nella disposizione asimmetrica, nelle gargouille gotiche, nel soffitto a travi piatte e nelle arcate a sesto ribassato. Scultori dell’Italia settentrionale eseguirono i particolari ornamentali in stile rinascimentale. Gli archi sono decorati con sfarzosi disegni di fiori, piante e animali, come pure i pilastri della balaustra, le porte e le finestre. Pur nella loro complessità, i motivi si distinguono per forme chiare, naturalismo e tridimensionalità, qualità tipiche del primo Rinascimento italiano.
