Abstract

È il primo volume della nuova collana di Argo, la quale si propone, prevalentemente attraverso lo studio di straordinari tesori d’arte pressoché ignoti al grande pubblico, di colmare un grave vuoto editoriale, quello della conoscenza della civiltà bizantina di Terra d’Otranto, favoloso crocevia fra Oriente e Occidente durante i secoli del Medioevo. Questo straordinario tesoro racchiuso in una chiesetta di Soleto, nel cuore della Grecìa salentina, sarà una sorpresa per chiunque: i favolosi affreschi che coprono quasi per intero l’interno dell’edificio raccontano, come in un antico rotocalco, storie che ci appartengono.

Abstract

In this book, Henrike Lange takes the reader on a tour through one of the most beloved and celebrated monuments in the world - Giotto's Arena Chapel. Paying close attention to previously overlooked details, Lange offers an entirely new reading of the stunning frescoes in their spatial configuration. The author also asks fundamental questions that define the chapel's place in Western art history. Why did Giotto choose an ancient Roman architectural frame for his vision of Salvation? What is the role of painted reliefs in the representation of personal integrity, passion, and the human struggle between pride and humility familiar from Dante's Divine Comedy? How can a new interpretation regarding the influence of ancient reliefs and architecture inform the famous "Assisi controversy" and cast new light on the debate around Giotto's authorship of the Saint Francis cycle? Illustrated with almost 200 color plates, this volume invites scholars and students to rediscover a key monument of art and architecture history and to see it with new eyes.

Abstract

"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"--
