  • Painting in Renaissance Siena
    Figure r6 . Vecchietta. The Resurrection. Figure I7. Donatello. The Blood of the Redeemer. Spedale Maestri, Torrita The Frick Collection, New York the Redeemer (fig. I?), in the Spedale Maestri in Torrita, southeast of Siena, was, in fact, the common source for Vecchietta and Francesco di Giorgio. The work is generally dated to the 1430s and has been associated, conjecturally, with Donatello's tabernacle for Saint Peter's in Rome. 16 However, it was first mentioned in the nirieteenth century, when it adorned the fa<;ade of the church of the Madonna della Neve in Torrita, and it is difficult not to believe that the relief was deposited in that provincial outpost of Sienese territory following modifications in the cathedral of Siena in the seventeenth or eighteenth century. A date for the relief in the late I4 5os is not impossible. There is, in any event, a curious similarity between Donatello's inclusion of two youthful angels standing on the edge of the lunette to frame the composition and Vecchietta's introduction of two adoring angels on rocky mounds in his Resurrection. It may be said with little exaggeration that in Siena Donatello provided the seeds and Pius II the eli­ mate for the dominating style in the last four decades of the century. The altarpieces commissioned for Pienza Cathedral(see fig. IS, I8) are the first to utilize standard, Renaissance frames-obviously in con­ formity with the wishes of Pius and his Florentine architect-although only two of the "illustrious Si­ enese artists," 17 Vecchietta and Matteo di Giovanni, succeeded in rising to the occasion, while Sano di Pietro and Giovanni di Paolo attempted, unsuccessfully, to adapt their flat, Gothic figures to an uncon­ genial format.

The historic center of this walled city, one of the very few in France, includes the Popes Palace but also the episcopal center, the St Bénezet medieval bridge and the Rocher des Doms hill park. Worldwide famous, Avignon’s performing art festival provides plenty of artistic satisfaction and sums up to perfection the city’s cultural state of mind. Avignon was named European Capital of Culture in 2000. Packed with gourmet delights and wine lover secrets, Avignon is an ideal base for exploring the Provence area and its unique way of life.

  • Antonio Ghini and Andrea Di Francesco Guardi: Two 15Th-Century Tuscan Artists in the Service of Local Governments
    Antonio Ghini and Andrea di Francesco Guardi: Two 15th-century Tuscan Artists in the Service of Local Governments Sandra Cardarelli Although the medieval and renaissance artist dwelled within a rigidly structured society whereby his life and work were strictly related to his affiliation to a guild, a confraternity, a political faction or some other form of corporate association that could grant him identity and protection, his world was far from restricted by the geographical boundaries of his city.1 Maginnis argued that early Sienese painters enjoyed great fame outside their native city thanks to foreign patrons.2 Simone Martini left Siena at the apex of his career as favourite painter of the commune to work for mendicant orders in Pisa, Orvieto and Assisi, and then at the service of the Angevins in Naples before moving to the papal court in Avignon.3 Likewise, the case of the Florentine sculptor Donatello, who worked in the rival city of Siena by request of a petition of the Balia in 1457,4 demonstrates that the wish to commission art This paper draws from material researched for my doctoral thesis: Siena and its contado: Art, Iconography and Patronage in the Diocese of Grosseto from c. 1380 to c. 1480, University of Aberdeen, PhD, 2011. A specific section in the thesis discusses the work of travelling artists in the diocese of Grosseto, and this first approach to the notion of artists and travel was later developed further and resulted in the session ‘Travelling artists in medieval and Renaissance Europe’ at the 38th annual conference of the Association of Art Historians, Milton Keynes, 29-31 March 2012.

  • Papauté Avignon
    A la découverte de l’Histoire Cours d’Histoire 2012/2013. G. Durand COURS 11 – LA PAPAUTE A AVIGNON Avignon doit sa célébrité, et l'essentiel de sa physionomie, au séjour qu'y fit la papauté au xive siècle. De 1309 à 1367 (ou 1403 si l'on compte les papes du Grand Schisme), la ville devint la capitale de la Chrétienté, principalement à cause de l'insécurité politique de Rome et de l'Italie d'alors. Papes français, les neuf papes d'Avignon se plurent sur les bords du Rhône, mais ils donnèrent toujours la priorité à la reconquête de leur pouvoir temporel en Italie. Dans des circonstances défavorables, ils surent, en excellents juristes, augmenter leur pouvoir en faisant de leur curie l'instrument d'une centralisation rigoureuse que favorisait l'heureuse situation géographique d'Avignon. Mais cette évolution, loin de résoudre le problème constitutionnel dans l'Église, l'aggrava bien plutôt, comme en témoigne le Grand Schisme ; elle aggrava aussi l'enlisement de l'Église dans les affaires temporelles : la « réforme dans la tête et les membres », réclamée au concile de Vienne, resta lettre morte. Sans doute était-il vain de l'attendre d'abord de réformes administratives. 1. La papauté à Avignon • Circonstances de l'établissement de Clément V à Avignon (1305-1314) Lorsque Bertrand de Got, archevêque de Bordeaux, est élu pape en 1305, il se fait couronner à Lyon, sur le chemin de l'Italie, avec l'espoir de réconcilier dans cette ville d'Empire les rois de France et d'Angleterre, en guerre au sujet de l'Aquitaine.

Department of Fine Arts The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date April 17, 1978. ii ABSTRACT Thomas Patch (1725-1782) is a relatively unknown English artist of the eighteenth century whose claim to fame so far has rested in his caricature work. He went to Rome around 1747, was banished from there in 1755 and joined the English circle in Florence where he remained until his death in 1782. Patch's work in Florence included his copying of what Vasari had said to be a fresco cycle by Giotto in the Church of the Carmine. This cycle had been damaged in a fire that broke out in the old church in 1771, and it had to be destroyed to make way for the new church that was completed in 1773.
