Painter to popes, princes, and scions of Renaissance dynasties, Simone Martini (ca. 1284-1344) transformed Western painting with his groundbreaking devotional images and masterful manipulation of gold. This beautifully illustrated book highlights the astonishing novelty of his paintings in terms of their construction, multimedia techniques, and imagery. A focus of the book--the first on Simone Martini in English in over thirty years--is the work that he produced for churches in the Umbrian city of Orvieto, a papal refuge and stronghold of the Guelph political faction. The publication sheds light on Simone's early career and technical accomplishments with extended catalogue entries for three Orvieto altarpieces and a painting of private devotion, including the results of new scientific analysis for the Gardner works. Leading scholars consider Simone's patrons, artistic accomplishments, and contributions to the development of the polyptych altarpiece"--Publisher's website. 500 $a Published in conjunction with the exhibition, Metal of Honor: Gold from Simone Martini to Contemporary Art, held at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, October 13, 2022-January 16, 2023. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 224-237) and index. 505 8 $a Isabella Stewart Gardner, Simone Martini, and gold-ground paintings in America / Nathaniel Silver -- The transformation of gold / Alison Wright -- The "bed on which they lay" : Simone Martini's family, art, and places / Carl Brandon Strehlke -- Simone Martini and the possibilities of the polyptych / Joanna Cannon -- A patron's painter : Simone Martini at Orvieto / Machtelt BruÌggen IsraeÌls. 600 10 $a Martini, Simone, $d 1283-1344 $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Gold-ground painting $z Orvieto $z Orvieto $y 14th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Polyptychs $z Orvieto $z Orvieto $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Altarpieces, Gothic $x Expertising $v Exhibitions. 740 0 $a Metal of honor. 710 2 $a Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, $e host institution. 700 1 $a Martini, Simone, $d 1283-1344, $e artist. 700 1 $a Silver, Nathaniel E., $e editor. 700 1 $a IsraeÌls, Machtelt, $e contributor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022858.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17C90530803411ED944134D030ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
