| The '''Saint-Martin Abbey''' (French: abbaye Saint-Martin) in the historic center of ], ] was an abbey, dating back to the 7th century. It was re-established in the late 11th century by Odo of Tournai and was immediately an important Benedictine settlement. In 1797, religious life at the abbey came to an end during the French revolutionary period. The buildings were largely demolished except for the abbot's palace, which today serves as the town hall. | |||

| '''Gianfrancesco Modigliani''' (Forlì, active from 1590 – until 1609) was an Italian painter belonging to the Forlì school. | |||
| Not much is known about the life of Gianfrancesco Modigliani, also called Gian Francesco or Giovan Francesco Modigliani, Modigliana, or Francesco da Forlì. He is certainly documented in the last years of the 16th century and the first years of the 17th century. | |||
| ==History== | |||
| Even before the tolerance edict of Emperor Constantine, Saint Piatus is said to have come to preach in Tornacum. From the 4th century, there was a Christian presence in the city. A new evangelization began in the 7th century with Saint Elooi, bishop of Noyon and Tournai. During this operation, according to tradition, he founded a monastery dedicated to Martin of Tours in Tournai. The Norman raids put an end to monastic life. | |||
| He was the son of another painter of the ] school, Livio Modigliani, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the contributions of the father and those of the son. They often worked together and were also helped by a brother of Gianfrancesco, Evangelista. | |||
| ] had become scholastic at the cathedral school of Tournai in 1087. When this cultivated man decided to retire to lead a more intense spiritual life, Bishop Radbod II and the canons tried to keep him in the city by donating to him, on May 2, 1092, the remains of the ruined Convent of St. Martin, where, with a few disciples, Odo founded first a canonical and soon a monastic community. The transition from the Rule of Augustine to the Regula Benedicti occurred in 1095 on the advice of ]. Odo was again elected abbot. | |||
| ==Style== | |||
| Under Odo's leadership, the abbey flourishedg. It had about 70 monks in 1105. Herman, a pupil of Odo, became abbot and historian. Rodulphus directed a workshop with twelve copyists, who handed down many works of antiquity. The abbey also prospered on a secular level. At the end of the 13th century, it had about a hundred monks who managed a vast estate and had founded no less than forty priories. It owned forests, some twenty mills and jurisdiction over several towns. | |||
| He trained in his father's workshop, with whom he collaborated in the first phase of his career, in particular with two canvases of the Madonna of Germany in the Monastery of Corpus Domini in Forlì. The collaboration is also evident in the fact that both signed the Annunciation of the Church of the Servi in Cesena in 1602. It is difficult to distinguish the contribution of the father and the son or substantial differences in style: attempts to separate the two hands have generally been unsuccessful. | |||
| From a stylistic point of view, the painter is in line with ], showing affinities with the painters ], ] and ], ] and ]. There is a prevalence of light tones in his work that are sometimes marked. | |||
| The early 14th century was a time of great crisis. Poor management and large expenditures, in spite of the general decline, led Pope John XXII to investigate in 1332. The abbot and several monks were excommunicated. As a new abbot - the seventeenth - the chronicler Gilles Le Muisit was appointed. He restored secular prestige, but on the spiritual level the abbey would not regain its leading role. | |||

https://it.wikipedia.org/Gianfrancesco_Modigliani
Gianfrancesco Modigliani (Forlì, active from 1590 – until 1609) was an Italian painter belonging to the Forlì school.
Not much is known about the life of Gianfrancesco Modigliani, also called Gian Francesco or Giovan Francesco Modigliani, Modigliana, or Francesco da Forlì. He is certainly documented in the last years of the 16th century and the first years of the 17th century.
He was the son of another painter of the Forlì school, Livio Modigliani, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the contributions of the father and those of the son. They often worked together and were also helped by a brother of Gianfrancesco, Evangelista.
Style
He trained in his father's workshop, with whom he collaborated in the first phase of his career, in particular with two canvases of the Madonna of Germany in the Monastery of Corpus Domini in Forlì. The collaboration is also evident in the fact that both signed the Annunciation of the Church of the Servi in Cesena in 1602. It is difficult to distinguish the contribution of the father and the son or substantial differences in style: attempts to separate the two hands have generally been unsuccessful.
From a stylistic point of view, the painter is in line with Mannerism, showing affinities with the painters Andrea Lilio, Federico and Taddeo Zuccari, Filippo Bellini and Simone de Magistris. There is a prevalence of light tones in his work that are sometimes marked.
Notable works
Three Marian canvases
-
Gianfrancesco Modigliani, Natività della Vergine, 1590-1600 ca, oil on canvas, 100x78 cm, Forlì. Pinacoteca civica
-
Gianfrancesco Modigliani, Presentazione di Maria al tempio, 1590-1600, oil on canvas, 100x78, Forlì, Pinacoteca
-
Gianfrancesco Modigliani, Morte della Vergine, 1590-1600 ca, oil on canvas, 96x78, Forlì, Pinacoteca civica
The three small canvases were originally all the same size, but the one dedicated to the Death of the Virgin is now presented with four centimetres cut from the lower part and is therefore smaller. They are located in the Pinacoteca Civica of Forlì, but the history of their commission is unknown. They are undated and unsigned and were included in Gianfrancesco Modigliani's catalogue by Antonio Corbara, given that they were previously attributed to Livio Agresti. They can be ascribed to the late sixteenth century for a marked Mannerist taste that is synonymous with Simone de Magistris, for the elongated and deformed anatomies and the marked colours with striking contrasts. The effect is probably due to a contact that, via Rome and the Marche, brought the painter the influence of El Greco, whose mystical charge is found in the thin and ascetic characters and in the luministic flashes of the composition.
