This work is based on a print by Albrecht Drer. [3] [3]A fresco in the church of Santi Fermo e Rustico in Verona representing the Coronation of the Virgin must date several years before 1324. Contact with Byzantine art was close in the early 13th century, but after c. 1250 survived principally in the Holy Roman Empire and Italy. . In my view, Marchis dating to the third decade of the fourteenth century should be pushed back to the second decade. Following its late nineteenth-century attributionby whom remains unclearto CaterinoVeneziano (in the caption of the nineteenth-century photographcited in Technical Summary note 3), Raimond van Marle (1924) cited the Coronationas an anonymous work of gothico-byzantine style. Evelyn Sandberg-Vaval in 1930 expressed the view that it is highly feasible to attribute it to Maestro Paolo himself, and in the following year Giuseppe Fiocco (19301931) unhesitatingly confirmed this attribution. My interest in Enguerrand Quarton's Coronation of the Virgin goes back to the early 1980s when 1 chose it as topic for a memoire de licence ("Le Couronnement de la Vierge d'Enguerrand Quarton: Thologie et histoire des mentalits d'une iconographie. 7th St and Constitution Ave NW Francesca Flores dArcais and Giovanni Gentili (Cinisello Balsamo, Milan, 2002), 118; Viktorija Markova, Italija: Sobranie ivopisi, vol. Antonio del Zotto e gi Giuseppe Piccoli (Geri-Salvadori, Venice, 1-16 September 1919), does not cite the painting, which perhaps had already been sold. But instead of cultivating the formal complexities and agitated rhythms of Byzantine painting of his day, the artist seems to draw inspiration from the powerful firmness of the bodies and the incisive figurative style of the painted images of previous decades. In fact, the altarpiece did more than merely identify the altar; its form and content evoked the mystery or personage whose cult was celebrated at the altar. Mauro Lucco, 2 vols. [12] [12]Cf. In my view, the Vodnjan panel belongs to the catalog of the Master of the Washington Coronation. 73. The man, Jesus, sits to our right on the throne and looks toward Mary as he places a crown on her bowed head with one hand. These paintings are still strongly indebted to the classicizing aspirations of the Palaeologan Renaissance. Apart from the paintings cited in notes 35 above, I think that Paolos initial phase also should include some paintings significantly attributed in the past to the Master of the National Museum in Belgrade (inv. Michelangelo Muraro, Paolo da Venezia (Milan, 1969), 109110, in contrast, thought that these penetrating images of apostles are even later in date, ascribing them to a pittore veneto-bizantino del tardo Trecento (Venetian-Byzantine painter of the late fourteenth century). Antonio Dal Zotto [18411918], Venice. Mary usually is represented seated on the same throne as her son and to his right as he crowns her with his right hand. The panel, originally part of a much larger assemblage (see Reconstruction), has been attributed in the past to Paolo Veneziano (Venetian, active 1333 - 1358), Venices most important artist in the 14th century. His hair falls around his shoulders, and he wears a gold-trimmed, buttercup-yellow robe under a lapis-blue cloak that wraps over one shoulder and across his lap.

Beyond art, the Coronation is a central motif in Marian Processions around the world, such as the Grand Marian Procession in Los Angeles, revived by the Queen of Angels Foundation. Although most Venetian polyptychs of the fourteenth century have come down to us either disassembled or incomplete, two altarpieces painted by Paolo Venezianoin the Bishops Palace of Krk and the (now dismembered) polyptych from the Collegiata of Pirano (on loan to the Museo di Palazzo Venezia in Rome)still retain a gable panel with the Crucifixion.

Lazarev (1965) was the first to reunite the Washington Coronation with the Madonna no. The Coronation of the Virgin marks the final episode of the legend of the mother of Jesus, that of her ultimate glorification after her bodily assumption into heaven. What remains of the important cycle of frescoes in the church of San Zan Degol in Venice probably belongs to a slightly earlier phase in the masters career, to the years around the turn of the century. The motif of the star-studded celestial sphere is also present in the antependium of Krk and the fresco of Gemona cited in the previous note. A late thirteenth-century date had already been postulated by Lazarev (1965), the first to compare the San Zan Degol cycle with the Madonna in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow and the Washington Coronation, followed by Boskovits (1989), who included in the masters oeuvre, in addition to the aforesaid works, the panels in Caorle (for which see also note 22 below). Mauro Lucco, 2 vols. The Virgin, enclosed within an open arcade of soft grey stone, stands in front of an open door and draws her arm up across her breast in fear. We are closed on December 25 and January 1. The results of the masters activity in the 1310s, or slightly before, are probably the Crucifixion in the Serbian Orthodox church of Split (Spalato);[16] [16]Published by Kruno Prijatelk, Nota su una Crocifissione vicina a Paolo Veneziano a Split (Spalato), Arte veneta 40 (1986): 148150, the painting was restored to the Master of Caorle by Mauro Lucco, Maestro di Caorle, in La Pittura nel Veneto: Il Trecento, ed. These include two painted crucifixes, one in the monastery of the Benedictine nuns at Trogir and the other in the Borla collection at Trino Vercellese (see above note 9). the altarpieces of San Pantalon at Venice, that of the stories of Saint Lucy at Krk (Croatia), and polyptych no. For these works, see Rosa DAmico and Tatjana Bonjak, in Il Trecento adriatico: Paolo Veneziano e la pittura tra Oriente e Occidente, ed. The Coronation of the Virgin is a tempera painting, which requires aesthetic, as well as architectural, skill. 141). Some other works that Muraro ascribed to the anonymous master, whom he hypothetically identified with Marco, brother of Paolo, should rather be ascribed to other hands, according to the present writer: the Madonna in Belgrade; the painted crucifix in the monastery of the Benedictine nuns at Trogir (Tra); and that in the Borla collection at Trino Vercellese all probably should be considered youthful works by Paolo himself. Gr. Michelangelo Muraro (1969) accepted that proposal, although he did not exclude the alternative suggestion that the four figures originally belonged to una piccola iconostasi (a small iconostasis). The Virgin Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven by God the Father and Jesus Christ at the same time. Following Muraros intervention, many art historians continued to maintain with varying degrees of conviction the attribution of the Washington Coronation to Paolo Veneziano, while others preferred to leave it in anonymity.

The earliest work by Angelico that can be dated with certainty, Bellinis great Coronation of the Virgin at Pesaro, for example, might have reflected some of the compositional elements of Pieros lost Coronation of the Virgin, painted as the central panel of a polyptych. According to Pallucchini, the panel in question is a work by Paolo Veneziano dating to c.1330 and must have originally formed part of the predella of a now disassembled polyptych. Mauro Lucco, 2 vols. Francesca Flores dArcais and Giovanni Gentili (Cinisello Balsamo, Milan, 2002), 144145. Since the 1970s, an ever growing number of scholars have accepted Muraros proposal, and even in some cases his conjectural attribution to Marco Veneziano: Michelangelo Muraro, Maestro Marco e Maestro Paolo da Venezia, in Scritti di storia dellarte in onore di Antonio Morassi (Venice, 1971), 23, 3031; Giuseppe Marchini, Corpus vitrearum Medii Aevi, vol. 1604 in the Musei Civici in Padua;[10] [10]Cf. Angels and cherubs float among billowing clouds. Travi (1994) then categorically affirmed the common authorship of the frescoes and the group of paintings formerly combined with the Washington Coronation under the conventional name of the Master of Caorle.

The Holy Ghost, appears above them in the form of a dove, occupying the upper vertex of a rhombus formed by the four figures. It is therefore probable that the elderly master shared a workshop around this time with the rising star of fourteenth-century Venetian painting. In other words, he reveals a style akin to but more modernmore attuned to the GothicGothic Term used to denote, since the 15th century, the architecture and, from the 19th century onward, all the visual arts of Europe during a period extending by convention from about 1120 to c. 1400 in central Italy, and until the late 15th century and even well into the 16th century in northern Europe and the Iberian Peninsula.

This majestic picturea window onto heavenwas painted for Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini (1571-1621) following the artist's arrival in Rome in 1595. Edward B. Garrison, Published as a work of the Veneto-Byzantine school of the 14th century by Ettore Merkel, Isole del nord della Laguna,, The neo-Hellenistic tendency, attested in the field of monumental painting by the frescoes of Sopoani, is also exemplified by various icons in the collection of the monastery of Saint Catherine on Mount Sinai, or by the miniatures in the. According to Luciano Bellosi, on the other hand (1985), the architectural settings of these frescoes were troppo solide e concrete per non postulare un precedente assisiate (too concrete and solid not to postulate a precedent [for them] in Assisi), and this implied a dating to the early years of the fourteenth century. Andrea De Marchi (2004) kindly brought to my attention another early representation of the subject, a now fragmentary fresco of the Coronation of the Virgin in Gemona Cathedral in Friuli, datable to the 1320s.
