  • The Mariology of St. Bonaventure As a Source of Inspiration in Italian Late Medieval Iconography
    José María SALVADOR GONZÁLEZ, La mariología de San Buenaventura como fuente de inspiración en la iconografía bajomedieval italiana The mariology of St. Bonaventure as a source of inspiration in Italian late medieval iconography La mariología de San Buenaventura como fuente de inspiración en la iconografía bajomedieval italiana1 José María SALVADOR-GONZÁLEZ Universidad Complutense de Madrid [email protected] Recibido: 05/09/2014 Aceptado: 05/10/2014 Abstract: The central hypothesis of this paper raises the possibility that the mariology of St. Bonaventure maybe could have exercised substantial, direct influence on several of the most significant Marian iconographic themes in Italian art of the Late Middle Ages. After a brief biographical sketch to highlight the prominent position of this saint as a master of Scholasticism, as a prestigious writer, the highest authority of the Franciscan Order and accredited Doctor of the Church, the author of this paper presents the thesis developed by St. Bonaventure in each one of his many “Mariological Discourses” before analyzing a set of pictorial images representing various Marian iconographic themes in which we could detect the probable influence of bonaventurian mariology. Key words: Marian iconography; medieval art; mariology; Italian Trecento painting; St. Bonaventure; theology. Resumen: La hipótesis de trabajo del presente artículo plantea la posibilidad de que la doctrina mariológica de San Buenaventura haya ejercido notable influencia directa en varios de los más significativos temas iconográficos

    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Italian Paintings of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries Martino di Bartolomeo Sienese, active 1393/1434 Madonna and Child with the Blessing Christ, and Saints Peter, James Major, Anthony Abbott, and a Deacon Saint [entire triptych] c. 1415/1420 tempera on panel Inscription: middle panel, on Christ's book: Ego S / um lu / x m / undi / [et] via / veritas / et vita / quise / gui ... (I am the light of the world and the way, the truth and the life; a conflation of John 8:12 and 14:6) [1] Gift of Samuel L. Fuller 1950.11.1.a-c ENTRY This triptych's image of the Madonna and Child recalls the type of the Glykophilousa Virgin, the “affectionate Madonna.” She rests her cheek against that of the child, who embraces her. The motif of the child’s hand grasping the hem of the neckline of the Virgin’s dress seems, on the other hand, to allude to the theme of suckling. [1] The saints portrayed are easily identifiable by their attributes: Peter by the keys, as well as by his particular facial type; James Major, by his pilgrim’s staff; Anthony Abbot, by his hospitaller habit and T-shaped staff. [2] But the identity of the deacon martyr saint remains uncertain; he is usually identified as Saint Stephen, though without good reason, as he lacks that saint’s usual attributes. Perhaps the artist did not characterize him with a specific attribute because the triptych was destined for a church dedicated to him.

  • Prato E Le Grandi Ville Medicee Di Poggio a Caiano E
    PRATO (about 120 km return) This a very busy town to the west of Florence, rich with ancient monuments and also an important centre for the textile and wool industry. The Duomo – Cattedrale di Santo Stefano St. Stephen Cathedral is one of the most beautiful churches in Tuscany, a mix of Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance styles. It keeps the precious Reliquia della Cintola (Sacro Cingolo) della Madonna (relic of the Holy Belt of the Virgin Mary), given by Mary to Saint Thomas the Apostle. Inside can also be found masterpieces of the Italian art with works by Filippo Lippi, Paolo Uccello and Agnolo Gaddi, as well as by Giovanni Pisano, Mino da Fiesole, Rossellino and Da Maiano. Erected in the Romanesque style in the 12th-13th centuries, the church was enlarged in the 14th century with the addition of a Gothic transept. The elegant façade with its white and green marble stripes (Prato green marble) is dated 1385-1457. Above the portal is a beautiful lunette in glazed terracotta by Andrea della Robbia from 1498, portraying a refined Madonna col Bambino e Santi. On the right corner, resting on a bronze capital by Michelozzo is the famous Pergamo del Sacro Cingolo, the Pulpit of the Holy Belt, with the Danza dei Putti (Dance of the Angels) by Donatello on the parapet (the original work of these replicas is kept inside the Duomo Museum next to the church). The pulpit was created for the public exhibition of the relic of the Holy Belt which is shown to the crowd on Christmas Day, at Easter, on May 1st and August 15th, and, in a more solemn way, on September 8th, for the celebration of the Nativity of Virgin Mary.

  • Ministero Per I Beni E Le Attività Culturali Progetto Di Diagnostica Per La Mostra DA JACOPO DELLA QUERCIA a DONATELLO IL PR
    Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali Opificio delle Pietre Dure e Laboratori di Restauro di Firenze Viale degli Alfani, 78 50100 Firenze Progetto di diagnostica per la mostra DA JACOPO DELLA QUERCIA A DONATELLO IL PRIMO RINASCIMENTO A SIENA La collaborazione da parte dell’Opificio alla mostra “Da Jacopo della Quercia a Donatello ‐ Primo Rinascimento a Siena” si inserisce in modo più che perfetto nell’ambito delle ricerche sulle tecniche artistiche, che da tempo affiancano l’attività più propriamente operativa dell’Istituto. Sono state effettuate indagini non invasive su un campione di opere che andranno in mostra (principalmente della Pinacoteca Nazionale di Siena), campione estremamente vasto e significativo sia dal punto di vista cronologico che da quello dell’autografia. Si tratta di tecniche di indagine tra le più diffuse nel campo del restauro e della conoscenza dei Beni Culturali, ma che si qualificano, in questo caso, per l’altissima definizione dei risultati (in particolare la Radiografia a lastra unica dell’OPD e la riflettografia InfraRossa ad alta risoluzione dello scanner di OPD e Istituto Nazionale di Ottica CNR di Firenze). Il Settore Dipinti Mobili dell’Opificio delle Pietre Dure ha lavorato a questo progetto con passione e grande interesse. Marco Ciatti e Cecilia Frosinini (direttore e vice‐direttore) grazie alle comprovate esperienze nel campo della storia delle tecniche artistiche di Roberto Bellucci e Ciro Castelli, hanno lavorato di stretta intesa con la Pinacoteca di Siena (Annamaria Guiducci ed Elena Pinzauti) alle indagini a più di 30 opere (segue elenco), venendo così a costituire un catalogo parallelo a quello della mostra, dedicato alla tecnica di esecuzione delle botteghe senesi di primo Quattrocento.

  • The Production Methods of Neri Di Bicci and the Prevalence of Cartoon Usage in Fifteenth-Century Florence
    The Production Methods of Neri di Bicci and the Prevalence of Cartoon Usage in Fifteenth-Century Florence Jennifer Adrienne Diorio A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in the Department of Art in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada August 2013 Copyright © Jennifer Adrienne Diorio 2013 ABSTRACT Florentine artist Neri di Bicci (1418-1492) was one of the most prolific and financially successful artists of the fifteenth century. The hundreds of extant paintings from his workshop are a testament to his industry, which is further underlined by a close examination of the 798 entries he wrote between 1453 and 1475 in his account book, his Ricordanze. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse the monetary and social history in Neri’s Ricordanze in order to provide a framework for an exploration of the way that paintings were constructed in Neri’s workshop, and a close examination of the evidence concerning collaboration between Neri and his contemporaries. This thesis determined that the repeated use of full-size paper patterns, known as cartoons, was a key aspect of Neri’s painting procedure. Cartoon usage was established by overlaying scaled images of paintings in Photoshop, which demonstrated that the outlines of many of Neri’s figures and architectural designs were identical. Analysing the price of Neri’s paintings also revealed trends which suggested that he used cartoons. Half of the 224 objects described in the Ricordanze cost 30 lire or less, and the average of the 40 paintings between two and four square meters was 151 lire, less than half the regional average for paintings of comparable size.
