Italian Renaissance painting

Hi Mais! take a look at the above! ... You've probably already seen Renaissance architecture which I worked on extensively, along with Brosi who did the historiography and so on, having better access to a current library than I have. --Amandajm 13:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've got heaps of books here, but not terribly current. I'm writing most of it off the top of my head and just checking on the dates. I'm alwyas quite pleased with myself when I look something up to check and yes it was the Baroncelli Chapel! I don't know if you know Santa Croce, but there is a great row of chapels painted by several different people and its hard not to muddle them, evry man and his dog had a chapel in Florence- the Medici chapel or two or three, the Pazzi chapel, the Rucellai chapel the Bardi chapel, the Peruzzi chapel and so on

Oh yes, and if you want to know who was painting in the 14th century, there was Bernardo Daddi, Gaddo Gaddi, Taddeo Gaddi and Angolo Gaddi, but Gaddo Gaddi was actually Daddy Gaddi and just to add to the confusion there was Agnolo Lorenzentti and Pietro Lorenzetti, Bartolo di Fredi and Taddeo di Bartolo. I don't know who Fredi was. Then there was Barna of Siena. just plain Barna. Not Barna di Fredi or Barna di Gaddi or even Barna di Bartolo. So reallly, one is thankful for the 15th and 16th centuries when people had distinctive names like Michelangelo and Raphael. --Amandajm 13:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed your planning to take on Edward the Black Prince. Hmmm! I had a go at that one and scuttled off fast. They don't like me over there. Someone suggested that Edward might have been a gentleman of colour, because his mother was described as being brown all over, with black eyes and a short broad nose. I supported the idea. Oh my goodness... the remains of the discussion is still there but some of it is missing. Good luck!

Not this article. I'll have to do one specially on the 14th century, which will require some research to keep them all sorted and locate the whereabouts of there works. There is this neat gallery near the Cathedral of Siena which has a stunning collection of that period. There was a Taddeo di Bartolo which was jsut stunning, because it was so expressive and had such beautiful litle details. Where are you located. I'm in the Land Downunder, so it's not easy to get to places. Are you at uni? What are you studying?

So do you feel like writing a short paragraph on the philosophical, social state of Florence round about 1400, when it all kicked off? I'm still editting. You could write it in word and drop it in, or leave it on the talk page? --Amandajm 14:42, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've put in the section headings for what I'm planning on doing. Gotta go to bed! Seeya!

Hi mais!

Thank you so much for your offer to fill in the references! I didn't read the discussion page until just now, which is really rather slack of me! I hope that I've got sufficient references to keep everybody happy, but if you would like to add more, please do. I've been having a bit of fun with part 2 Italian Renaissance painting, development of themes]. I really don't know what to do about referencing that. The paintings themselves provide the evidence for what is said about them. --Amandajm 01:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mais!,

I've left a message on the discussion page of Italian Renaissance painting, development of themes] requesting suggestions for what it should be called. JNW suggests Italian Renaissance painting (themes). Maybe you'd like to give it some thought. Have you got time between assignments or whatever to go looking things up?... --Amandajm 12:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
