La Biblioteca di un 'principe umanista' Federico da Montefeltro e i suoi manoscritti [di M.G. Critelli]

Francesco Rosselli

c. 1448-c. 1513

Urb.lat.52

Proveniente da una celebre famiglia fiorentina di artisti – Cosimo Rosselli era suo fratello maggiore –, egli si formò forse alla bottega di Francesco di Antonio del Chierico ed ebbe interessi per l’arte orafa, la cartografia, forse anche per la pittura di grande formato. Attivo nella decorazione libraria probabilmente fino agli anni ’80, quando divenne miniatore di corte per il re ungherese Mattia Corvino (1458-1490), per poi dedicarsi all’incisione, Rosselli esordì con la decorazione dei corali dell’Opera del Duomo di Siena tra il dicembre 1470 e il marzo 1471; passò quindi al servizio dei Medici, realizzando una serie di esemplari contenenti classici – cfr. per es. Firenze, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Plut. 84. 1, Plut. 46. 12 – e libri d’ore, nel decennio successivo – cfr. Monaco di Baviera, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 23639; Firenze, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Ashb. 1874. Ed è partire dagli anni ’70 del Quattrocento che Vespasiano da Bisticci include Rosselli nella cerchia di miniatori che a più riprese lavorarono alla composizione della collezione di Federico da Montefeltro. In questo contesto, egli operò, spesso insieme alla sua bottega, in un vasto numero di mss., come per esempio gli Urb. lat. 52, Urb. lat. 491, Urb. lat. 277, e ad alcune delle immagini della Bibbia, Urb. lat. 1-2.
