This book explores the mobilities and materialities of panel painting at and beyond the Angevin court of Naples in the context of objects, materials, patrons, and painters on the move through the fourteenth-century world. It asks how panel paintings participated in and thematized patterns of circulation and exchange; how they extended the artistic and political geography of the court far beyond Naples itself; how their materialities intersected with other mediums from woven silk to precious metalwork to stone; and how painters’ formal and technical experimentation combined with painted panels’ real and imagined itineraries to create meaning. The volume traces a series of painted panels through networks of patronage, production, gift giving, transport, and replication. It locates the making, movement, and meaning of these works in the overlapping contexts of Angevin dynastic and territorial ambitions, including the family’s stakes in the Holy Land; patterns of collecting and adapting authoritative icons; practices of royal female patronage; and painters’ engagement with the limits of the medium of panel painting itself. Each chapter weaves together sustained analysis of paintings’ pictorial and material structures, close reading of primary sources, and questions of art’s materialities and mobilities. Moving between single objects and larger patterns, between the local and the global, this study presents new research on individual works even as it reframes trecento art in the broader context of artistic circulation, exchange, and transformation across the late medieval and early Renaissance world.
