PAINTING IN FLORENCE AND SIENA BEFORE AND AFTER THE BLACK DEATH

c. 1300 - 1400

Florence and Siena were the leading schools of painting in fourteenth-century Italy. Siena's civic development had perhaps reached a plateau before the Black Death, while Florence continued its rapid industrial and territorial expansion. The leading artists Duccio di Buoninsegna and Simone Martini in Siena, Giotto di Bondone and Orcagna in Florence were enormously influential and widely imitated. In both cities new, or recently erected, cathedrals and the cavernous churches newly built by the mendicant orders, pre-eminently the Franciscans and the Dominicans, provided painters with a range of important public commissions in both fresco and panel-painting. In many churches, both old and newly-built, the private family chapel provided a new focus for decoration. Civic patronage in both cities involved the leading artists in the embellishment of secular buildings.

On both Florence and Siena the impact of the plague, now generally known as the Black Death, was catastrophic. Perhaps as much as a half of the population perished. Important painters, such as the Lorenzetti brothers and Bernardo Daddi, were among the victims. Other painters, for example Orcagna and Luca di Tommè survived. The impact of plague on religious belief, artistic style and iconography, and social behaviour has been much discussed, without, however, arriving at agreed conclusions. The course aims to study the careers and development of selected individual painters in some detail, by considering surviving works, their functions, settings and techniques as well as their style. The requirements of patrons will also be considered. A critical consideration of the written sources, from which artists might derive their subject matter will be undertaken as will later historiography, culminating in the still overly influential Lives of Giorgio Vasari. The presence and influence of Sienese artists in Florence, and the lesser impact of Florentine art in Siena will be studied. Giotto's work in Padua and the Saint Francis Legend at Assisi fall outside the course, and only those works of painters such as Spinello Aretino or Bartolo di Fredi which were executed before 1400 are included.
