In From Giotto to Botticelli, Julia Miller and Laurie
Taylor-Mitchell explore the three-hundred-year rise and fall of the
Humiliati (“Humbled Onesâ€), a religious order infamous for its
attempt to assassinate Saint Carlo Borromeo and ultimately
suppressed, by papal bull, in 1571. This book focuses on the
order’s artistic patronage and considers the major works by
artists such as Giotto, Donatello, Botticelli, and Ghirlandaio that
the Humiliati commissioned for the Church of the Ognissanti in
Florence. Miller and Taylor-Mitchell reveal how the Humiliati
promoted their public image through the visual arts and examine the
themes and ideas in these works. The Humiliati have received
remarkably little scholarly attention to date, in part because of
their suppression and eradication by the Church. This is one of the
first comprehensive historical studies of this important religious
order and the central role the Humiliati played in the history of
Italian art. From Giotto to Botticelli will appeal not only to art
historians but also to scholars of history, religion, and cultural
studies, as well as to members of the general public.
