Badia-a-Isola-Meister: Madonna with Child and Two Angels, Italy, around 1280/1300

As Badia-a-Isola Master (or Master of Badia a Isola , Master of Badia a Isola ), the Italian painter of the 13th century referred to a Madonna and Child with Two Angels for the compartment Church of SS. Salvatore e Cirino in Badia a Isola in Monteriggioni , Tuscany. He was probably active in northern Italy between 1290 and 1320. He is considered an early successor to Duccio di Buoninsegna (approx. 1255-1319) from Siena.

style

The Badia-a-Isola master is close to Duccio's new style, and his later works also show that he followed its development. Nevertheless, his work remains based on tradition, which can be shown by the conservative mixture of his working method , which is also based on the main master of Sienese painting Guido da Siena , with innovations by the "innovator" Duccio. In his later works, however, the Badia-a-Isola master seems even more reserved and less impulsive than can be seen in his first works.
