The citizens of Siena were not alone in their high regards of St. Mary. Duccio includes his signature of praise in the base of the Virgin’s throne: “Holy Mother of God, be the cause of peace to Siena, and of life to Duccio because he has painted you thus.” Duccio used his talent as a type of praise, painting as a form of worship. He hoped for the favor of his patron saint in return for the labor expended in creation of the Maestà.

The Renaissance was an incredible period for artistic patronage. It seemed as though it was nearly impossible for any well-to-do private individual to avoid some level of interaction with the art world, whether they required art to furnish their lavish houses, or to create religious iconography, or even to provide gifts for family and friends. For a royal family, or a member of the nobility, the need for artistic patronage was considerably larger, given the office they held. ‘Since an aura of personal splendour was a requirement of state, the line between public and private artistic consumption was often unclear. This was especially the case with the Medici, a family which long demonstrated

A tradition of journeying to Rome, Italy for training or to simply improve upon one’s artistic skills was carried out by many Dutch history and genre with landscape painters. As a result, the use of the Italians as a source of inspiration and emulation can be identified in their works and presents one of the underlying principles that connects the different thematic categories together. Hendrick ter Brugghen was a history painter who belonged to the Utrecht Caravaggists. Just as the name of the group implies, these artists were from Utrecht and heavily influenced by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Ter Brugghen’s Calling of Saint Matthew of 1621 provides an exemplary example of this. It is not only similar to Caravaggio’s own Calling of Saint Matthew of 1599 to 1600 with the subject

Throughout King’s writing, there are three major themes occurring at once and King spared no illustrative wordings in bringing these ideas to life. The main theme, fitting as the title of the book, was the image of Michelangelo, both as a professional artist and as a self-defeating man, and his laborious journey of painting the Pope’s Ceiling. The other two concurring themes are the military campaigns of the gluttonous Pope Julius II and the artistic rivalry of the

In this painting, he is being accused by the woman to the soldier. Caravaggio portrays the story of the Denial of St. Peter, as told in all four Gospels (Matthew, John, Luke, Mark) of the Bible. When Jesus was arrested, he prophesied that Peter, his disciple would denounce his name

Caravaggio was born in Italy 1571 and died July 1610. Not a lot is known about Caravaggio. Most of his family was wiped out by the bubonic plague along with his father.

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio better known as simply Caravaggio was an Italian Baroque master painter born in Italy around 1571. After he apprenticed with a painter in Milan, he moved to Rome, where he lived for most of his life. His work influenced painters around Europe.

An altarpiece for the Sala del Consiglio was commissioned on 27 September 1485 by the Opera of the Palazzo Vecchio. The Opera entrusted Lorenzo to determine the price of the work, which deviated from the procedures put in place for the allocation of work in the Provvisione of November 1477. The procedures required that the price of a work was to be determined before it was commissioned. At the time, Lorenzo was not a member of the Opera. By asking for Lorenzo’s opinion, the operai submitted themselves to the authority of his aesthetic judgment. Even when he was a member, Lorenzo did not need to be present for every meeting of the operai. The Opera was manned by members of his circle and would carry out Lorenzo’s patronage decisions, which allowed

Giorgio Vasari is known for being the first Art Historian. He wrote the seminal work The Lives of the Artists. But why did he write it? Of course every book is written for a purpose but I don’t think Vasari was writing just to inform people of art and artists. At the beginning of the 14th Century the value of artists and their craft began to rise. They had been a member of the guild system along with other valued members of the medieval economic system certainly but suddenly wealthy people not just the clergy saw buying art and dedicating it to God as a way to pay for past sins and show their esteemed colleagues that they were actually doing something to ensure passage to heaven. This rise of humanism is continuing theme into the next two centuries when it reaches Vasari. If Art has reached its zenith in realism and can go no higher. How then can Vasari increase his worth and that of his fellow artists in the world’s estimation? Write a book detailing the lives of great artists and explain how they received their genius from God and made startling contributions to the many great religious and civic efforts of Italy and Florence in particular. This was going to help him increase his own power if he could connect his talent to the greatness of God and those who needed God’s Grace more than most; the rich and powerful.

There are some elements within Gozzoli’s The Feast of Herod and the Beheading of John the Baptist not found in other works that inform the viewer of how we should feel about her dancing and Salome’s guilt in the death of John the Baptist. Because scholars have left this work out of their research, these elements have not been included in the conversation and placed in comparison to the other works. By analyzing them here, we can see the unique ways Gozzoli approaches the subject beyond what we see from his contemporaries.
