ARTE SAGRADA
Adam and Eve expelled front the paradise
In this Renaissance masterpiece, Igor Nigri captures the precise, agonizing threshold of the human journey. 'The Exile: Adam and Eve's Departure' is structured upon a classical pyramid, where the divine decree meets the weight of mortal shame. The school of Fra Angelico, can be contemplate in the beautiful Angel and in the Angel’s flaming sword. A blade of pure fire, in one side , and in another side the waterfall bring harmony to the composition in the eternal peace of Eden.
While the distant lush forests breathe with the Leonardesque sfumato of a world left behind, Every leaf, every creature, and every ripple of the waterfalls is rendered with the meticulous devotion of Benozzo Gozzoli, creating a landscape that feels like a living tapestry of the divine. And at the center stands the Tree of Knowledge, with a realism reminiscent of the Ferrarese school. Adam and Eve are depicted with a 'vulnerable monumentality'—their forms echoing the anatomical strength of Signorelli and the ethereal grace of the Florentine Renaissance. Every brushstroke is a dialogue between the anatomical power of Michelangelo and the lyrical grace of Botticelli. This oil on canvas is more than a scene of judgment; it is a meditation on the aesthetic symphony of colors that defines the very core of the Art Neo Renaissance.

Adam and Eve in front the original sin
In this transcendent masterpiece, Igor Nigri invites us into the dawn of humanity. 'The Garden of Eden' is a visual symphony that harmonizes the delicate lyricism of Botticelli with the rigorous sacred geometry of Piero della Francesca.
Every leaf, every creature, and every ripple of the waterfalls is rendered with the meticulous devotion of Benozzo Gozzoli, creating a landscape that feels like a living tapestry of the divine. At the center stands the Tree of Knowledge, where the serpent coils with a crystalline realism reminiscent of the Ferrarese school. Adam and Eve are depicted with a 'vulnerable monumentality'—their forms echoing the anatomical strength of Signorelli and the ethereal grace of the Florentine Renaissance.
The Garden of Eden " accompanies a poetic song in Latin composed by Igor Nigri. Fructus Amoris et peccati originale.

Moses and the Ten Commandments
In "Moses and the Ten Commandments", Igor Nigri achieves a powerful synthesis between the descriptive clarity of the Quattrocento and the grandeur of the High Renaissance. The figure of Moses dominates the center of the composition with a stance of granitic solidity, inheriting the monumentality of masters like Michelangelo and the serene dignity of Raphael.
The Mastery of the Quattrocento: This is visible in the meticulous treatment of the beard and the grooves of the wooden staff, where every detail is an affirmation of physical presence. The clear definition of contours and the vibrancy of the colors in his robes (blue and orange) recall the vibrant palette of Domenico Ghirlandaio.
The Ascent to the High Renaissance: The magisterial use of light, emanating from behind the mountain to create a natural and divine halo, elevates the work to the level of the sublime. The atmospheric perspective in the Sinai mountains, fading into shades of ochre and grayish-blue through controlled sfumato, demonstrates a Leonardesque technical maturity.
Importance: This work serves as the moral conclusion of the cycle. If Eden was harmony and the sacrifice of Isaac was the test of faith, Moses represents the foundation of order and the covenant.

The angelical Sanctuary
In this divine Renaissance composition, we contemplate an arrangement of angels that evokes the profound studies of Ambrogio Lorenzetti and Andrea da Firenze. There is a cosmic order in the distribution of the figures, reminiscent of the timeless frescoes of the Santa Maria Novella Chapel.
The Delicacy of the Sienese and Florentine Masters
A distinct influence is the elegance of Simone Martini: note the almost musical grace in the posture of the archangels. There is a "lyrical linearity" that refers to the Sienese master, where the curve of a wing or the tilt of a head communicates silent, profound devotion.
The painting’s lyricism transcends time, reaching the spiritual gardens of Fra Angelico and Benozzo Gozzoli, with a profusion of flowers and vibrant nature akin to Angelico’s Annunciation. Each petal seems to carry its own light, while the rhythmic composition recalls the detailed richness of Gozzoli’s Procession of the Magi—an organized paradise where nature itself reveres the divine.
The Solidity of the Great Architects of Form
Another Renaissance gift present here is the monumental clarity of Piero della Francesca and Melozzo da Forlì:
The circular temple at the center emanates a geometric precision and monumental calm typical of Piero.
The perspective of the angels in flight, especially the one approaching the portico, carries the audacity of Melozzo da Forlì’s "musical angels."
Transition to the High Renaissance: Form and Atmosphere
The work reveals the sweetness (docezza) of Fra Filippo Lippi and Botticelli:
The faces of these young archangels possess the venustas (ideal beauty) of Lippi and the soft melancholy of Botticelli.
The way light caresses the porcelain skin evokes the tenderness of Florentine Madonnas, transforming anatomy into pure poetry.
In the background, the bluish mountains fading into the horizon demonstrate a masterful command of Da Vinci’s sfumato. This "atmospheric perspective" creates infinite depth, suggesting that the sanctuary does not end at the canvas but extends throughout the cosmos. Underneath, a firm anatomical structure remains—a legacy of Signorelli’s mastery—while the sharpness of architectural textures recalls the mineral-like precision of Francesco del Cossa.
The Lyrical and the Playful
The interaction of the angels with fauna and flora—their curiosity with flowers and the flute—references the luminous portions of Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights, where creation exists in a detailed, effervescent harmony.
The Harmony of the Neo-Renaissance
The work is a celebration of Order and Enchantment. The use of the classical temple as a focal point organizes the viewer's gaze, while the angels, in their youthful freedom, provide the necessary movement to ensure the scene is not static, but vibrantly alive and eternal.

King David exalting the God
King David exalting the God. Renaissance painting by Igor Nigri.
In the quietude of a timeless landscape, where the blue mists of the horizon whisper the secrets of Leonardo da Vinci’s school, a king sits in holy contemplation. "King David Exalting God" is not merely a painting; it is a visual psalm composed in the language of the masters. Through the brush of Igor Nigri, we witness the rebirth of the sacred aesthetic—the Art Neo-Renaissance.
The composition reflects the structural clarity of the Quattrocento. One can feel the geometric grace of Piero della Francesca and the celestial purity of Fra Angelico in the way light sanctifies the scene. The figure of David possesses a monumental weight, a nod to the sculptural rigor of Andrea Mantegna and Luca Signorelli, where every fold of the crimson and azure robes reveals earthly dignity and divine calling.
As the king’s fingers touch the strings, the air seems to vibrate with the lyricism of Botticelli and Fra Filippo Lippi. Yet, there is a profound reflection where the shadow breathes. The focused light upon the harp and the expressive hands carries the dramatic soul of Rembrandt, reminding us that true exaltation is born from the contrast between our human shadows and the Divine Light. From the precision techniques of Francesco del Cossa to the soaring perspectives of Melozzo da Forlì, this work is a bridge across centuries. It is the moment where the ancient harp of David meets the eternal soul of the Renaissance, forged anew by the last Renaissance master.

Archangel Gavriel destroying Sodom and Gomorrah
This epical oil painting represents the perfect union between two eras. The anatomical structure of the Archangel and the pursuit of ideal beauty in proportions are legacies of Raphael Sanzio, Leonardo da Vinci and anothers Renaissance masters to bring a classical order to chaos. However, the atmosphere is purely Baroque; the use of Tenebrism, where the absolute darkness of the background is broken only by fire, places the work in direct dialogue with the drama of Caravaggio and the depth of Rembrandt school. The solemnity of Gavriel and the weight of his mission reflects the austere dignity of the neo Renaissance in the sacred art. There is a monumental seriousness that transcends the decorative; it is the weight of divine justice on earth.
The influence of Caravaggio is contemplated in the Chiaroscuro of Fire: The flaming sword and the light of the fire defines the volume of the Archangel's body. This directed light is the hallmark of Baroque naturalism, revealing the texture of the skin and the strength of the wings against the nocturnal abyss. The reddish glow emanating from the burning city and reflecting in the clouds of smoke possesses the Rembrandt's study of the ethereal palette. It is not merely physical light, but a light that carries the weight of divine justice. The diagonal created by the flaming sword cuts across the composition, separating the celestial realm from material ruin. While the city of Sodom crumbles into a Leonardesque sfumato haze in the background, the Archangel remains as a pillar of stability. The verticality of his figure contrasts with the horizontal collapse of the architectural structures, reinforcing the idea of divine triumph reflected in the art.

The Fallen Angels
The Fallen Angels: A Symphony of a New Era
The Architecture of the Fall and the Geometry of the Spirit
In "The Fallen Angels," Igor Nigri doesn't merely paint an event; he constructs a universe where the time of the arts collides and merges. The composition is a lesson in dynamic balance: on the right, the solidity of an arch that breathes the geometric clarity of Piero della Francesca, serving as the pillar of the celestial order that observes the collapse of the world. This structure dialogues with the mysticism of the Trecento, where Gothic architecture was the ladder to the divine, while the rock formations and dense vegetation in the background echo the precision of Benozzo Gozzoli, transforming the scene into a tapestry of narrative details.
The Angelic Movement: From the Virtuosity of Verrocchio to the Grace of Raphael
The angels, central figures in this drama, are the pinnacle of anatomical study. In their poses, we recognize the muscular tension and linear precision of Andrea del Verrocchio, but softened by the rhythmic elegance and audacious foreshortening of Melozzo da Forlì. When the figures move in space, they carry the "Sprezzatura" of Raphael—that apparent ease in achieving the impossible—and the contemplative sweetness that Nigri rescued from the lyricism of Fra Angelico and Botticelli.
The Light that Transmutes: From Tenebrism to the Vibration of the Soul
The great revolution of this work lies in its light. The purifying fire, burning with the symbolic intensity of Hieronymus Bosch, projects long and dramatic shadows, immersing the work in a Caravaggesque chiaroscuro that lends weight and tragedy to the fall. However, Igor Nigri goes further: he introduces the psychological depth of Rembrandt into the skin of the figures and the infinite sfumato of Leonardo da Vinci on the horizon, where the landscape dissolves into blue mists and distant mountains. The finishing touch is the vibrancy of the brushstroke in the peripheral areas, a tribute to Impressionism, which brings life and movement to the atmosphere, proving that light is not only physical, but spiritual.
The Pinnacle of Neo-Renaissance
This work represents the moment when Classical Arts cease to be an echo of the past and become the foundation of a new language. Nigri's Neo-Renaissance is the absolute synthesis: it takes the order of the Quattrocento, the idealism of the High Renaissance, the drama of the Baroque, and modern sensibility to create something that never existed before. It is the Renaissance returning to the womb of creation to be reborn stronger, more complex, and immensely more beautiful.
Before the abyss of time, Igor Nigri conjures a celestial choreography where the weight of stone meets the lightness of grace. 'The Fallen Angels' is not a mere depiction of loss, but the triumph of the Neo-Renaissance spirit—a world where the mathematical purity of Piero della Francesca and the anatomical truth of Verrocchio find new life. Through a Caravaggesque fire and a Da Vincian mist, the artist weaves the lyricism of Botticelli with the emotional depth of the Baroque, culminating in a landscape touched by the fleeting light of Impressionism.

The sacrifice of Isaac
Renaissance painting by Igor Nigri
Prophet Daniel interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's Dream.
In this imposing oil paint, the artist Igor Nigri portrays the historic and spiritual encounter between King Nebuchadnezzar and the Prophet Daniel. The painting is a profound study of character and power, utilizing the visual language of the great Renaissance and Baroque masters. The compositional structure reflects the balance and dignity. Daniel is depicted with idealized beauty and a posture of serene authority, while the clarity of his gestures guides the narrative, typical of Renaissance clarity. The baroque darkness is intensified through the masterful use of tenebrism. The focused lighting, reminiscent of the techniques of Caravaggio and Rembrandt, highlights the luxurious textures of the ermine cloak and the glint of the crown, contrasting them with the sobriety of the prophet’s robes. The dark background focuses attention on the psychological interaction between the characters.
The presence of the lion at the king's side not only evokes the traditional iconography associated with Daniel but also demonstrates an anatomical realism and fur texture that harken back to 17th-century Flemish and Baroque painting.

Beit HaMikdash - Holy Temple
In this monumental masterpiece, the Beit HaMikdash (The Holy Temple) transcends being a mere archaeological memory to become a living manifestation of divine order through geometry. Under the banner of the Art Neo-Renaissance movement, King Solomon’s architecture is reinterpreted through the lens of technical perfection that defined the Italian Cinquecento.
The composition is governed by absolute linear perspective, evoking the sacred spatiality found in Raphael Sanzio’s "The School of Athens". The viewer’s gaze is guided by a central symmetry that is not merely aesthetic, but theological: the balance of forms reflects the harmony of the cosmos.
The columns, adorned with the rigor of Corinthian and Composite capitals, draw from the well of Andrea Palladio, uniting earthly marble with celestial light. The masterful use of Chiaroscuro in the lateral loggias grants a tactile depth to the stone, while the gold crowning the structure gleams against a deep blue sky, creating a dramatic contrast reminiscent of Giovanni Paolo Panini’s heritage.
This painting is not just a historical representation; it is a portal. It is the reconciliation between Israel’s spiritual legacy and the aesthetic sophistication of the Renaissance, where every arch and every shadow serves as a testament to eternal beauty and divine architectural sovereignty.

Celestial Battle
In this monumental composition, the Neo-Renaissance master Igor Nigri orchestrates a visual liturgy where heaven and abyss collide. 'The Celestial Battle' is not merely a representation of conflict; it is a profound dialogue between five centuries of Western art.
The canvas breathes with the geometric stillness of Piero della Francesca, providing a sacred anchor for a scene of absolute movement. From the hazy depths of the horizon, echoes of Hieronymus Bosch are heard; the landscape is consumed by a ghostly fire, a visceral reminder of what is at stake for the soul. Amidst this conflagration, the figures emerge with the 'terribilità' of Luca Signorelli, their muscular anatomy sculpted by a light that reveals both divine grace and mortal agony.
Nigri's mastery of perspective draws from the bold foreshortenings of Melozzo da Forlì, while angels descend from the ether with a lyrical lightness. However, there is an austere emotional gravity reminiscent of Pietro Lorenzetti, where every gesture is imbued with the solemnity of a Sienese fresco. With the sharp, crystalline precision of Francesco del Cossa and the decorative elegance of Benozzo Gozzoli, this work transcends mere imitation. It is a tenebrist masterpiece where Baroque shadows meet the intellectual rigor of the Quattrocento, inviting the viewer to witness the eternal struggle for Light.

Archangel Raphael
In this important oil painting, the Renaissance Master Igor Nigri embarks on a luminous quest for divine perfection. Archangel Raphael: The emissary of divine healing, stands as a beacon of Neo-Renaissance philosophy, where every brushstroke seeks to transcend the material and touch the eternal.
The Archangel Raphael embodies the distilled aesthetics of Botticelli and the serene piety of Fra Angelico, his form sculpted with the anatomical grace of Michelangelo and the harmonious balance of Raphael Sanzio. A landscape veiled in Da Vinci's sfumato offers an infinite horizon, while the vibrant, Caravaggesque red drapery cloak, creates a powerful dialogue between earthly passion and celestial purity. This is more than a painting; it is a visual prayer, an ode to the search for beauty as a path to the divine. Here, the spiritual rigor of the Quattrocento and the emotional depth of the Baroque converge, inviting the viewer into a realm where perfection is both sought and revealed.

Uriel, The Messenger of Divine Love.
In this luminous oil painting, master Igor Nigri presents Uriel, the Archangel of Divine Love, as a bridge between the heavens and the soul. Drawing from the lyrical grace of Botticelli and the perfect classical balance of Raphael, this work is a sanctuary of serenity.
Uriel stands framed by a celestial archway, holding roses that symbolize the flowering of the spirit. The soft, Leonardesque sfumato of the clouds and the radiant halo create an atmosphere of mystical revelation. Every detail—from the intricate feathers of the wings to the delicate folds of the white robes—reflects the Neo-Renaissance commitment to beauty, light, and the eternal search for the divine. It is a visual prayer, inviting the viewer to experience the quiet power of unconditional love.
