Description
Simone Martini in Orvieto is a new insight into the innovative multimedia work and early career of fourteenth-century Italian painter Simone Martini. This beautifully illustrated book highlights the astonishing novelty of his paintings, which transformed Western painting with groundbreaking devotional images and masterful manipulation of gold. The focus of this publication is on the work that Simone Martini produced for churches in Orvieto, a papal refuge and stronghold of the Guelph political faction. Extended catalogue entries provide detailed information about three Orvieto altarpieces and a painting of private devotion, shedding light on Simone's early career and technical accomplishments. New scientific analysis has been applied to the Gardner works, providing fresh perspectives on Simone's patrons, artistic accomplishments, and contributions to the development of the polyptych altarpiece.
