| Opis: | This paper will attempt to shed some light on the current state of knowledge concerning Angelo de Coster, a Venetian painter of Dutch origin, who is known to the art-historian community only as the author of two large canvases - The Miracle of St. George and The Mass of Bolsena from the parish church of St. George in Piran. At the same time the author of this paper wishes to discuss new archive sources and to emphasize the iconographic problems, concerning primarily the rather uncommon depiction of The Mass of Bolsena. Until recently, the known facts about the life of Angelo de Coster were relatively scarce. He came from a Duch family of painters. His father, Pietro de Coster, is well known in comparison to his son and was educated in Amsterdam in the circle of painters like Jan Cossiers and Abraham van Diepenbeeck. Angelo de Coster was born in Venice on the 22nd of November 1680. At present we do not have any information concerning the beginnings of his education. It is likely that his first education as a painter took place in the workshop of his father Pietro. Further on in his career he worked in the workshop of Johann Carl Loth, who was the head of one of the biggest workshops in Venice in the middle of the 17th century, where painters like Daniel Seiter and Johann Michael Rottmayr were educated. At the start of the 18th century Angelo de Coster ventured to Rome to the Accademia di San Luca, where he competed in several competitions, which provided an opportunity for the artists - painters and sculptors - to combine their theoretical knowledge with practical work, In the year 1704 he was commissioned to paint both paintings in Piran. Antonio Alisi postulates that both paintings were commissioned by the members of the fraternity of St. George from Piran. On the basis of archive sources the author of this paper establishes, that the painting The Miracle of St. George was in fact commissioned by the members of the brotherhood of St. George, while The Mass of Bolsena was commissioned by the members of the fraternity of Corpus Christi. The Miracle of St. George depicts a scene from the 21st of July 1343, when this saint saved the city of Piran from the dangerous tempest. The Mass of Bolsena is dated and signed on the base of the capital: MDCCVI / PIN. ANG° DE COSTER VENE. The Mass of Bolsena depicts fatherPeter of Prague as he gives holly mass in the town Bolsena in the church of St. Christina. The painting from Piran depicts the moment of miracle of the eucharisty during the holly mass as blood starts to flow out of the consecrated host and floods the altar cloth. This miracle was a consequence of the priest's doubts concerning the transubstantiation, the moment when bread and vine turn to the body and blood of Christ. Most likely Coster became familiar with this scene during his stay in Rome, when he competed in two competitions at Accademie di San Luca. The Mass of Bolsena is not a commonly depicted motif. The most famous depiction of this scene is probably Rafaelćs depiction on a fresco in the Pope's Palace (1511-1514). The author lists some other examples: frescoes in the cathedral of Orvieto, the paintings by Francesco Trevisiani and the painting by Francesco Robbia. The data regarding the last years of Coster's life are scarce and it is not clear what he did during that time. The question of his opus remains open as well |
