It traces the interactions between Franciscan friars and powerful bankers, illuminating the complex interplay between mercantile wealth and the iconography of poverty. Political strife and religious faction lacerated fourteenth-century Italy. Giotto's commissions are best understood against the background of this social turmoil. They reflected the demands of his patrons, the requirements of the Franciscan Order, and the restlessly inventive genius of the painter. Julian Gardner examines this important period of Giotto's path-breaking career through works originally created for Franciscan churches: Stigmatization of Saint Francis from San Francesco at Pisa, now in the Louvre, the Bardi Chapel cycle of the Life of St. Francis in Santa Croce at Florence, and the frescoes of the crossing vault above the tomb of Saint Francis in the Lower Church of San Francesco at Assisi. These murals were executed during a twenty-year period when internal tensions divided the friars themselves and when the Order was confronted by a radical change of papal policy toward its defining vow of poverty. The Order had amassed great wealth and built ostentatious churches, alienating many Franciscans in the process and incurring the hostility of other Orders. Many elements in Giotto's frescoes, including references to St. Peter, Florentine politics, and church architecture, were included to satisfy patrons, redefine the figure of Francis, and celebrate the dominant group within the Franciscan brotherhood."--BOOK JACKET. 001399552 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001399552 60000 $$aGiotto,$$d1266?-1337$$xCriticism and interpretation. 001399552 60000 $$aFrancis,$$cof Assisi, Saint,$$d1182-1226$$vArt. 001399552 650_0 $$aArt patronage$$zItaly$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 001399552 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001399552 7000_ $$aGiotto,$$d1266?-1337. 001399552 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGardner, Julian.$$tGiotto and his publics.$$dCambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press, 2011$$w(DLC) 2010038494 001399552 830_0 $$aBernard Berenson lectures on the Italian Renaissance. 001399552 85280 $$bebk$$hHarvard University Press 001399552 85640 $$3Harvard University Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.4159/harvard.9780674060975$$zOnline Access 001399552 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:454267$$pGLOBAL_SET 001399552 980__ $$aEBOOK 001399552 980__ $$aBIB 001399552 982__ $$aEbook 001399552 983__ $$aOnline
