SUMMARY

These papers investigate the revival of painting and mosaic in Rome in the second half of the 13th century and the contribution of Rome to the birth of modern painting. Their concern is with the interrelationships between pictures and their social, political and religious context. In this way, the early work of Giotto and the development of the Italian altarpiece are reconsidered, with particular attention being paid to questions of structure, setting and patronage. The work of Simone Martini for the Angevin Court at Naples and the promotion of the cult of new saints by visual means is examined within the context of the European politics of canonisation. Finally, Professor Gardner considers the artistic role of the Mendicant orders, in particular the Franciscans and the Dominicans, and their self-promotion by visual images.Ces essais examinent la renaissance de la peinture et de la mosaïque à Rome durant la seconde moitié du 13e siècle, ainsi que la contribution de Rome à l'avènement de la peinture moderne. Leur intérêt se porte sur les rapports étroits existant entre les tableaux et leur contexte social, politique et religieux. C'est ainsi que les premières oeuvres de Giotto et le développement du retable sont repris en considération, avec une attention plus particulière envers les questions de structure, de cadre et de mécénat. L'oeuvre de Simone Martini à la cour angevine de Naples et la promotion du culte des nouveaux saints, au travers de moyens visuels, sont étudiés au sein du contexte de la politique de canonisation européenne. Pour finir, le professeur Gardner considère le rôle des ordres mendiants, en particulier ceux des Franciscains et des Dominicains, et leur façon de se promouvoir à l'aide d'images visuelles.Gardner, Julian is the author of 'Patrons, Painters and Saints Studies in Medieval Italian Painting' with ISBN 9780860783794 and ISBN 0860783790.
