Description: Harry N. Abrams(Non-Fiction, Art) Italian Primitives: Panel Painting of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries by Enzo Carli Shop Villagelder's Books-N-Games From the dust jacketIn any study of the vast and complex history of medieval Italian painting, the newer art of painting on wood panels is equally important as those other forms of pictorial art which are descendants of extremely ancient traditions-the great cycles of frescoes and of mosaics. Panel painting is characterized by different developments in different regions, as well as by its own technique, style, and iconography; and it is an almost entirely new genre that has few precedents before the eleventh century. Although panel painting spread rapidly throughout Italy, its development in Tuscany between the mid-twelfth century and the late thirteenth century was far richer and more varied than that of any other region. Thus we may be justified in regarding the art of Italian panel painting as an essentially Tuscan creation. From this point of view Enzo Carli, Director of the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Siena and the Pinacoteca in San Gimignano, presents his study of Italian panel painting of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries
