Book excerpt: A comprehensive and informed analysis explores the startlingly diverse and sophisticated fine arts in the Middle Ages. Materials, Methods, and Masterpieces of Medieval Art provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the work done by artists in western Europe during the Middle Ages. Art historian Janetta Rebold Benton uses examples such as the Book of Kells, Bury Saint Edmunds Cross, and the Bayeux Tapestry, and the work of artists such as Jan van Eyck and Giotto to explore the various media available to medieval artists and the ways in which those media were used to create a stunning array of masterworks. Although the visual arts of the Middle Ages were extremely colorful, today much of that color has diminished or disappeared, the pigments and threads faded, the gold abraded, the silver tarnished. Materials, Methods, and Masterpieces of Medieval Art allows these works to sparkle once more.

Download or read book Giotto and the Arena Chapel written by Laura Jacobus and published by Harvey Miller. This book was released on 2008 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is divided into two parts, the first presenting new evidence and reconstructions of the chapel's design and early history; the second offering new interpretations of Giotto's frescoes. Appendices present original sources, all of which are newly-discovered, unpublished or previously published in inaccessible editions. An outline of the early history of the Scrovegni family and the career of the chapel's patron, Enrico Scrovegni, introduces the first part of the book. It is argued that the chapel's varied functions played an important part in determining the form of the building and the content of its frescoes. A complete reconstruction of the appearance of the Arena Chapel at the time of its consecration in 1305 forms the basis for an entirely new understanding of Giotto's frescoes. Giotto was the architect of the Arena Chapel, architecture and decoration were completely integrated in his design. Changes in the design brief during the period 1300-1305 prevented the full realization of his design. Some of the paintings now seen in the Arena Chapel, which have always been attributed to Giotto, are not in fact by him. Several independent masters worked under Giotto's direction. He headed a flexibly-organized workshop. Part II is introduced by a discussion of the frescoes that would be encountered by visitors to the Arena Chapel. These frescoes were deliberately placed in these positions by Giotto in order to further a process of luminal transformation upon entry into sacred space. Giotto employed radically new compositional devices to evoke correspondences between the pictured protagonists in their fictive environments, and viewers in the real environment of the chapel. Dr. Laura Jacobus' research interests cover various aspects of Italian visual culture during the period c.1250-1450. She teaches at Birkbeck University of London.

Book excerpt: In the annals of late-medieval artistry, Giotto di Bondone, affectionately known as Giottus, emerges as a luminary figure hailing from the vibrant city of Florence. His artistic endeavors unfolded during the epoch of Gothic/Proto-Renaissance, a period marked by a nuanced blend of traditions and emerging artistic expressions. Giovanni Villani, a contemporaneous banker and chronicler immersed in the cultural tapestry of Giotto's era, extolled him as "the most sovereign master of painting in his day." Villani marveled at Giotto's ability to draw figures and poses in harmony with nature, lauding his skill and excellence. Meanwhile, Giorgio Vasari, a later art historian, credited Giotto with initiating a paradigm shift in painting, laying the foundation for the art as we recognize it today. Vasari emphasized Giotto's groundbreaking approach, which involved drawing precisely from life, a method overlooked for over two centuries. Giotto's magnum opus, the Scrovegni Chapel, also known as the Arena Chapel, stands as a testament to his artistic prowess. Completed around 1305 in Padua, this masterpiece unfolds a narrative tapestry portraying the lives of the Virgin and Christ. Revered as one of the paramount achievements of the Early Renaissance, the chapel's fresco cycle resonates with the spirit of innovation and a departure from convention. Despite the acclaim surrounding Giotto's artistic contributions, the details of his life remain shrouded in ambiguity. While he is definitively credited with painting the Arena Chapel, his appointment by the Commune of Florence in 1334 to construct the new campanile of the Florence Cathedral underscores his broader impact. However, Giotto's birth date, birthplace, physical appearance, apprenticeship details, the chronological order of his works, and even the attribution of famous paintings in the Upper Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi remain subjects of scholarly contention. In the kaleidoscope of Giotto's legacy, the interplay of art and mystery weaves a captivating narrative. The enigmatic facets of his life not only contribute to the allure surrounding his persona but also underscore the complex nature of artistic identity in a bygone era. As Giotto's brushstrokes echo through time, each stroke invites contemplation, inviting us to delve into the untold chapters of a masterful artist's journey.

Download or read book The Architecture in Giotto's Paintings written by Francesco Benelli and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an analysis of Giotto's painted architecture, focusing on issues of structural logic, clarity of composition, and its role within the narrative of the painting. Giotto was the first artist since antiquity to feature highly-detailed architecture in a primary role in his paintings. Francesco Benelli demonstrates how architecture was used to create pictorial space, one of Giotto's key inventions. He argues that Giotto's innovation was driven by a new attention to classical sources, including low reliefs, mosaics, mural paintings, coins, and Roman ruins. The book shows how Giotto's images of fictive buildings, as well as portraits of well-known monuments, both ancient and contemporary, play an important role in the overall narrative, iconography, and meaning of his works. The conventions established by Giotto remained at the heart of early modern Italian painting until the sixteenth century.

Download or read book Giotto and His Publics written by Julian Gardner and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This probing analysis of three works by Giotto and the patrons who commissioned them goes far beyond the clichés of Giotto as the founding figure of Western painting. It traces the interactions between Franciscan friars and powerful bankers, illuminating the complex interplay between mercantile wealth and the iconography of poverty. Political strife and religious faction lacerated fourteenth-century Italy. Giotto’s commissions are best understood against the background of this social turmoil. They reflected the demands of his patrons, the requirements of the Franciscan Order, and the restlessly inventive genius of the painter. Julian Gardner examines this important period of Giotto’s path-breaking career through works originally created for Franciscan churches: Stigmatization of Saint Francis from San Francesco at Pisa, now in the Louvre, the Bardi Chapel cycle of the Life of St. Francis in Santa Croce at Florence, and the frescoes of the crossing vault above the tomb of Saint Francis in the Lower Church of San Francesco at Assisi. These murals were executed during a twenty-year period when internal tensions divided the friars themselves and when the Order was confronted by a radical change of papal policy toward its defining vow of poverty. The Order had amassed great wealth and built ostentatious churches, alienating many Franciscans in the process and incurring the hostility of other Orders. Many elements in Giotto’s frescoes, including references to St. Peter, Florentine politics, and church architecture, were included to satisfy patrons, redefine the figure of Francis, and celebrate the dominant group within the Franciscan brotherhood.
