| Publisher Description: Cavallini, alongside Giotto, was one of the trailblazers of Renaissance painting, and the most important protagonist of the Roman school that from 1275 to 1305 gave rise to art production whose influence spread beyond the region's boundaries. This includes the first-class masterwork of the frescoes of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, executed in ca. 1300. They have been examined for the first time using scientific methods, providing new findings regarding the dating, the identification of the person who commissioned them, and the reconstruction of the iconographic structure using an architectural survey and the analysis of historical sources. In addition, art-historical models from a variety of genres are identified, attributions made, and the studio practice and revolutionary execution technique analysed. |
