Book Description
Definitive and richly illustrated, this volume is the first extensive examination of Cimabue's work to appear in English in more than thirty years. Cimabue (c. 1240-1302) was the most admired artist of his time in Tuscany and Central Italy. His paintings and mosaics are seen by some as the last great flowering of Medieval art, and by others as the first works of the Renaissance. The earthquakes that shook Central Italy in late 1997 struck hardest at the legacy of Cimabue, crumbling his brilliantly-colored paintings in the vault of the Upper Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi. The tragic Florentine flood of 1966 had already destroyed much of the master's famous Santa Croce Crucifix. But in this book a combination of archival and newly commissioned photographs - including pictures of the Assisi vault shot just moments before its collapse - offer a complete panorama of the artist's works, before flood or earthquake damage, and before and after recent restorations.

Cimabue and the Franciscans
Author: Holly Flora
Publisher: Harvey Miller Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Cimabue and the Franciscans sheds new light on the legendary artist Cimabue, revealing his sophisticated engagement with complicated intellectual and theological ideas about materials, memory, beauty, and experience. This book offers a fresh look at the broader question of artistic change in the late thirteenth century by examining the intersection of two histories: that of the artist Cimabue (ca. 1240-1302), and that of the Franciscan Order. While focused on the work of a single artist, this study sheds new light on the religious motives and artistic means that fueled the period's visual and spiritual transformations. Flora's study reveals that Cimabue was not just a crucial figure in processes of stylistic change. He and his Franciscan patrons engaged with complicated intellectual and theological ideas about materials, memory, beauty, and experience, creating innovative works of art that celebrated the Order and enabled new modes of Christian devotion. Cimabue's contributions to the history of art thus can finally be recognized for their wide-ranging scope and impact within the rapidly-evolving religious culture of the late thirteenth century.

Cimabue and Early Italian Devotional Painting
Author: Holly Flora
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Christian art and symbolism

Pages : 60
Book Description
Catalog accompanying an exhibition at the Frick Collection, New York, of two paintings by Cimabue (Cenni di Pepo; ca. 1240-1302), called by some the founder of Italian Renaissance painting. The painter's Flagellation of Christ (Frick Collection, New York) and Virgin and Child Enthroned with Two Angels (National Gallery, London) were once part of a larger work, possibly a commission of Franciscan origin. Exhibited with the two panels are other examples of Italian devotional art of the late 13th and early 14th centuries from New York collections.
