Master of the Clarisse table

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Master of the Clarisse panel (Rinaldo da Siena?): Madonna enthroned with Christ. Siena, around 1275

As a master of Clarissentafel ( English Master of the Clarisse panel ) is called an unnamed well-known painter who after 1275 in Siena worked.

Naming

The master of the Clarisse table got his emergency name from the picture he painted of the enthroned Madonna with Christ, which is in the Chiesa delle Clarisse , the church of the Clarisse convent in Siena. The master of the Clarissa table could possibly be identical to Rinaldo da Siena.

Painting style

The master of the Clarisse panel still follows the tradition of the 13th century painting in Italy, influenced by Byzantine icon painting. He succeeds Guido da Siena , who is considered to be one of the main masters of Sienese painting in the second half of the 13th century and it is conceivable that the master of the Clarisse panel worked in his workshop in Siena. As with Guido da Siena, a relationship to the works of the Florentine painter Coppo di Marcovaldo can also be seen in the master of the Clarisse panel , who was probably captured by the Sienese after Siena's victory over Florence in 1260 and who painted several pictures of the Madonna in Siena. The master of Clarissentafel paints like Coppo his figures in entertainment and color as known from Byzantine painting, but how Coppo he dissociates himself from a rigid and formulaic representation of the Madonna and the Christ towards living movement of the characters and gives her clothes realistic folds. Coppo used such violent folds during his time in Siena.

Works (selection)

In addition to the eponymous picture in the church of the Poor Clares convent in Siena, a Madonna and Child, for example, is ascribed to the master of the Clarisse tablet , which was created between 1265 and 1275 and is now exhibited in the National Gallery in London . There is also a Madonna and Child in the Brooks Museum of Art in Memphis, Tennessee . Some of the frescoes discovered in the cathedral of Siena in 2003 are believed to have been made by the master of the Clarisse panel.
