Gaddi, Agnolo Florentine, C
National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Italian Thirteenth and Fourteenth Century Paintings Gaddi, Agnolo Florentine, c. 1350 - 1396 BIOGRAPHY Grandson of the painter Gaddo di Zanobi, and son of Taddeo Gaddi—disciple of Giotto (Florentine, c. 1265 - 1337) and one of the leading exponents of Florentine painting in the mid-fourteenth century—Agnolo probably was trained in his father’s shop, and by 1369 he must already have emerged as a recognized master in his own right. In that year he received payments together with a group of artists including Giovanni da Milano, Giottino, and his own brother Giovanni (also a painter but one whose works have not survived) for the now lost decoration in the palace of Pope Urban V in the Vatican.[1] His earliest works, including the triptych dated 1375 now in the Galleria Nazionale in Parma and the fresco fragments in the former monastery of San Domenico del Maglio in Florence, executed according to the documents in 1376,[2] are characterized by harsh color and rather crowded compositions; they are populated by figures of ponderous movement and massive physique, accentuated by the chiaroscuro by which they are modeled. In the early 1380s, evidently by then a well-affirmed artist, Agnolo obtained commissions of particular prestige in his native city: the designs for the sculptures to adorn the façade of the Loggia dei Lanzi; the frescoing of the Castellani Chapel in Santa Croce (stories of Saints Anthony Abbot, John the Baptist, John the Evangelist, and Nicholas); and the painting of an altarpiece probably intended for the church of San Miniato al Monte, now divided between the Contini-Bonacossi bequest in the Uffizi, Florence, and the Kisters collection in Kreuzlingen.

Seeing Renaissance Glass: Art, Optics, and Glass of Early Modern Italy, 1250–1425 / Sarah M
Dillon With the invention of eyeglasses around 1280 near Pisa, the mundane medium of glass transformed early modern optical technology and visuality. It also significantly influenced contemporaneous art, religion, and science. References to glass are Seeing Renaissance Glass found throughout the Bible and in medieval hagiography and poetry. For instance, glass is mentioned in descriptions of Heavenly Jerusalem, the Beatific Vision, and Art, Optics, and Glass of the Incarnation. At the same time, a well-known Islamic scientific treatise, which Early Modern Italy, 1250–1425 likened a portion of the eye’s anatomy to glass, entered the scientific circles of the Latin West. Amidst this complex web of glass-related phenomena early modern Italian artists used glass in some of their most important artworks but, until now, Seeing Renaissance Glass no study has offered a comprehensive consideration of the important role glass played in shaping the art of the Italian Renaissance. Seeing Renaissance Glass explores how artists such as Giotto, Duccio, Nicola Pisano, Simone Martini, and others employed the medium of glass—whether it be depictions of glass or actual glass in the form of stained glass, gilded glass, and transparent glass—to resonate with the period’s complex visuality and achieve their artistic goals. Such an interdisciplinary approach to the visual culture of early modern Italy is particularly well-suited to an introductory humanities course as well as classes on media studies and late medieval and early Renaissance art history. It is also ideal for a general reader interested in art history or issues of materiality. Sarah M. Dillon is Assistant Professor of Art History at Kingsborough Community College, CUNY, specializing in early modern art.

1 the Palazzo, Collections, and Musical Patronage of Niccolò Gaddi
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by St Andrews Research Repository The Palazzo, Collections, and Musical Patronage of Niccolò Gaddi (1536-91) Laura Moretti This article examines the collection of musical instruments and music books (both published editions and manuscripts) belonging to the Florentine Niccolò di Sinibaldo Gaddi. One of the greatest collectors and patrons of the arts of his time, in the 1570s and 1580s he organized and fit out one of the largest private collections of the era in the so-called casa dell’orto. Today it is possible to reconstruct not only the scope of his collections but also the breadth of his incredibly rich library thanks to an unpublished inventory from 1628 and analyses of other primary sources. Around forty musical instruments and a group of one hundred and thirty volumes of printed and manuscript music books were among the thousands of objects exhibited. The identification of several of them has made it possible to advance new hypotheses on the contributions made to the collection by various members of the family. Niccolò di Sinibaldo Gaddi was one of the greatest collectors and patrons of the arts in Florence in the second half of the sixteenth century (Fig. 1).1 He was the last descendent of a family that had played a leading role in the political, religious and cultural life of the city for over four centuries, and was able to boast among its members the painters Gaddo (c.1239-c.1312), Taddeo (c.1290-1366) and Agnolo (c.1350-96), the secretary
