The embedded portrait : Giotto, Giottino, Angelico

by Christopher S. Wood

This study examines the introduction of lay portraits into fourteenth-century Florentine sacred paintings. Looking from the artists' perspective, it analyses how these embedded portraits of modern worshippers challenged and reshaped religious art between Giotto and Fra Angelico.

brief_description
In fourteenth-century Italy, ever more women and men—not only clergy but also laity—introduced their own portraits into sacred paintings. Images of modern supplicants, submissive and prayerful, shared space with the holy narratives. The portraits mimicked the first worshippers of Christ: Mary, the Three Magi, Mary Magdalene. At the same time, they modelled, for modern viewers, ideal involvement in the emotion-laden stories. In The Embedded Portrait, Christopher S. Wood traces these incursions of the real and profane into Florentine sacred painting between Giotto and Fra Angelico. -- publisher's blurb
