Majesty Giotto
@ @ @ @ This book, Madonna in Majesty (325 cm × 204),
is remembered as one of the most famous works of Giotto.
Nelle collezioni dal 1919
L'immensa pala, nota come Madonna d'Ognissanti dal nome della chiesa per la quale fu eseguita, inaugura il nuovo corso della pittura fiorentina che si orienta verso una ricerca spaziale volumetrica e di maggior realismo. Gitto rispetta solo esteriormente la tradizione toscana, assumendo il fondo oro e la forma pentagonale delle tavole cuspidate come fecero Cimabue e Duccio, ma la sua opera is fundamentally new. Giotto decentralized choose a frame for the Virgin seated on a throne with a canopy of unquestionable Gothic and transforms the throne in "perspective box" solving the problem of three-dimensional rendering more sharply than that attempted to Duccio, using daring sights on the walls side of the throne. The absence of uncertainties in the yield of issues leads us to date the Majesty 'Uffizi after the frescoes in Assisi and in Padua. Among these special characteristic of the art of Giotto, there are vases of roses, lilies governed by two kneeling angels, the Virgin's robe clear which shows the healthy breast, or even the figures of saints, whose bodies through chiaroscuro take A defined volume in space. The Majesty 'reveals new sense of realism championed by Giotto. The two figures of the Virgin and Child with their plasticity reflect a changed conception of human, more alive, pulsating and concrete, typical of the communal society of the time.

Simone gives us here a great interpretation of his language polite gothic aristocrat. With a simple gesture can sum up the mood of the Virgin Mary modestly draws back and closes his cloak with your right hand until it becomes almost immaterial essence cut out the background gold, driven by sinuous curves and reverse curves.
The beautiful vase of lilies, symbol of Mary's purity, Simone Martini demonstrates the need to deal with elements of reality closer to the humanistic concerns made by Giotto. The vessel is described with great precision and modeled in chiaroscuro, but rests on a marble floor effect that seems vertical. The Angel has just appeared to Mary. The Scot still has the original mantle movement during landing because the air still movimento.L 'artist can create an elegant and sophisticated arabesque by playing the air with the tissues of the mantle, reviving the scene with great sense of lightness and naturalness. The masterpiece of Simone Martini entered the Uffizi by order of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Ferdinand III of Loreto.L 'Annunciation, dated and signed by Simone Martini and the brother Lippo.L' Annunciation is sublime witness to its cosmopolitan culture of the fourteenth century Sienese art . The artist has reworked the International Gothic influences, largely French, personal way by creating a deep harmony between the two polarities, Gothic and humanistic.
