This title was first published in 2000: Introduced by Joanna
Cannon, this volume of essays by postgraduate students at the
Courtauld Institute, University of London, explores some of the
ways in which art was used to express, to celebrate, and to promote
the political and religious aims and aspirations of those in power
in the city states of central Italy in the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries. The contributions focus on four centres:
Siena, Arezzo, Pisa and Orvieto, and range over a number of media:
fresco, panel painting, sculpture, metalwork, and translucent
enamel. Employing a variety of methods and approaches, these
stimulating essays offer a fresh look at some of the key artistic
projects of the period. The dates cited in the title, 1261 and
1352, refer to two well-known works, Coppo di Marcovaldo's Madonna
del Bordone and the Guidoriccio Fresco in the Palazzo Pubblico of
Siena, here newly assigned to this date. By concentrating on
individual cases such as these, the essays provide rewardingly
sustained consideration, at the same time raising crucial issues
concerning the role of art in the public life of the period. These
generously-illustrated studies introduce new material and advance
new arguments, and are all based on original research. Clear and
lively presentation ensures that they are also accessible to
students and scholars from other disciplines. Art, Politics and
Civic Religion in Central Italy, 1261-1352 is the first volume in
the new series Courtauld Institute Research Papers. The series
makes available original recently researched material on western
art history from classical antiquity to the present day.
