Fantasie und Handwerk: Cennino Cennini und die Tradition der toskanischen Malerei von Giotto bis Lorenzo Monaco (German Edition) Details
This volume is a lavishly illustrated invitation to contemplate the intricacy of religious paintings charting the course of Tuscan painting after Giotto. Around 1400, Cennino Cennini in his Libro dell'Arte defined the art of painting as a product of imagination and craft, a text that gave rise to an exhibition focusing on the tradition of painting through the generations from Giotto, his pupil Taddeo Gaddi, the son of the latter, Agnolo, and finally Cennini himself. The catalogue also contains numerous essays on Cennini's book and his opinion on art-related matters, as well as on technological analyses of the paintings themselves. German text.
