# Griffoni Polyptych: St Peter and St John the Baptist \(details\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [COSSA, Francesco del]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Oil on panel ## Commentary In his paintings Cossa shows a special interest in rocky landscapes and in the stones, carved and otherwise, of which architecture is built. This affinity emerges behind the standing figure of John the Baptist in a landscape of rocky pinnacles, open arcades, and natural bridges supporting turreted castles and domed churches stacked in impossible positions. \*\*\* Keywords: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Author: COSSA, Francesco del Title: Griffoni Polyptych: St Peter and St John the Baptist \(details\) Form: painting Type: religious Time-line: 1451-1500 School: Italian ## Related artworks - [Allegory of April: Triumph of Venus \(detail from the Bull\)]() - [Allegory of April: Triumph of Venus \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of April: Triumph of Venus \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of April: Triumph of Venus \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of April: Triumph of Venus]() - [Allegory of April: Triumph of Venus]() - [Allegory of March: Triumph of Minerva \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of March: Triumph of Minerva \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of March: Triumph of Minerva \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of March: Triumph of Minerva \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of March: Triumph of Minerva \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of March: Triumph of Minerva \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
