Abstract:
This paper focuses on the presentation of a part of the main thematic data documenting the pathologies and the degradation problems of a contemporary mural painting, which was designed and carried out by the italian artist Giuseppe Capogrossi in 1954. This forgotten masterpiece is developed on the ceilings of the main double stairscase at the entrance of the Airone, an ex-cinema-theatre in Rome (Italy). In time, the original project was completely damaged and now the Airone cinema is abandoned since 1999; the decoration, strictly connected to the function of the original project, has been completely covered by synthetic coatings. The documentation of the observed pathologies and the original materials of the lower ceiling takes place during a restoration project in 2015–2016 and was accomplished by utilizing different technologies in order to facilitate the collecting of the main data within several graphic thematic tables. The challenge of this documentation was to create a contact point, and perhaps also a contamination, between the practices of CAD graphic documentation, restoration and GIS technology.

Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to analyze compositional types, topography, methods, and techniques used in the formal solution of mural compositions in the Catholic churches of Eastern Galicia in the second half of the XVIII century. The methodology lies in the usage of art historical methods of stylistic analysis and generally scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction. The scientific novelty of the research is in the analysis of methods and techniques used by Galician masters in the second half of XVII century for implementation of mural compositions that were interpreted, adapted to local artistic traditions. The research can be used in the attribution of saved samples of the monumental art. Conclusions. The monumental painting in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, in particular in Galicia, developed in the context of artistic trends in West and Central European countries. Chronologically, the development of monumental painting in Galicia ranged from the thirties until the late XVIII century. As for the formal characteristics of monumental art, in the territory of the Commonwealth, the most common were three compositional types of polychrome: local variation of Italian «quadro riportato», illusionistic and panoramic. The basis of the first is the method of placing of the image on the vault area, framed with imitated or sculpted frame, the second is based on the quadrature and other methods and techniques of illusionistic monumental art, the third includes a panoramic image on the vault. In Galicia, the third type of vault decoration has not become widespread. Visiting masters were the bearers of these trends. They implemented the polychrome in local cathedrals, using a wide variety of methods and techniques for the formal solutions of mural compositions, typical for European art schools. Later, local artists adopted this experience, creating polychromes with certain interpretations of compositional types.

Abstract:
The modern decoration of the Saint Nicolas de Myre Church at Semsales (1924–1926), is the first by renowned Italian artist Gino Severini in Switzerland. Following archival research and visual examination, the materials and the techniques used by Severini for the wall paintings of this church were examined through a multi-technique analytical approach that included both non-invasive and invasive investigations. Archival research revealed lists of some of the materials purchased for the church and notes of the artists. In situ investigations included imaging methods and point analyses (X-ray fluorescence and reflection FT-IR spectroscopy). Based on non-invasive results, a limited number of representative samples were collected for laboratory invasive analyses (SEM-EDS, FTIR-FPA imaging, μ-Raman and GC-MS) to characterize the stratigraphy and the composition of the paintings. Results were coherent with artist’s notes and revealed protein-based binders, i.e. animal glue and casein, exclusively on the Trinity mural (in the apse) confirming the use of a secco technique. All the other wall paintings analyzed at Semsales are painted without the use of organic binders. These findings, integrated with archival researches and the visual examination by conservators, provided significant insights into the materials and techniques used by Gino Severini in his first Swiss murals.

Abstract:
In medieval Passion cycles represented in Czech, Slovak (former Hungary), and Polish murals dating from the fourteenth to the fifteenth centuries one may observe a number of-gestures which appear in respective scenes starting from the Entry into Jerusalem and ending with the Entombment (laying in the sepulchre). The most significant gesture in the entry scene is the outstretched hand of Christ riding a donkey. It is the language of gesture used since antiquity, transmitted through Byzantine and Italian art (including Giotto’s Entry into Jerusalem in his Arena Chapel frescoes), and transferred into art north of the Alps.

Abstract:
Mr. James Cahill devoted himself to connecting the changes in the painting history from the late Western Zhou Dynasty to the Song Dynasty into a systematic exposition. That is, early Chinese painting changed from decoration to the continuous exploration of the reproduction of nature and visual faithfulness, and reached its peak in the Song Dynasty, becoming another great naturalism and reproduction painting tradition comparable to the Italian Renaissance. In order to expand and enhance the world influence of Chinese visual art, James Cahill has put forward unique academic ideas, aiming at guiding a kind of understanding and enlightenment of ordinary perception of life.

Abstract With a special focus on processes of artistic transfer between the Apennine peninsula and other regions in the Mediterranean and beyond, this paper sheds new light on haloes and gold grounds in thirteenthto fifteenth-century Italian painting. By means of case studies, it analyzes both (1) the role of haloes and gold grounds within the specific logic of the images, and (2) the impact of imported artifacts (their techniques, decoration, and materiality) on Italian panel painting as well as the complex interplays between imports and local production. Elucidating the intersections, frictions, and fields of tension between visual and material culture, this paper contributes to discussions on transmedial and transmaterial dynamics, transcultural art history, and the multireferentiality of gold.

Abstract:
Owing to old photographic plates that recorded those segments of the mural decoration of Davidovica on the Lim which were later destroyed or considerably damaged, it is possible to put forward a more complete reconstruction of its thematic program. The programmatic and iconographic features of both the destroyed frescoes and the surviving ones correspond to the solutions that can be found in Post-Byzantine painting. The palaeographic analysis of inscriptions and the analysis of the style of the murals in the dome, the area under the dome and both chapels in Davidovica clearly indicate that we are dealing with paintings done in the second half of the sixteenth century.

Abstract:
Esta tesis doctoral examina el encaje del ciclo mural que decora la galería superior del claustro principal de la Badia Fiorentina de Florencia, llamado Chiostro degli Aranci, en la pintura florentina posmacciana. El ciclo está compuesto por 10 lunetos pintados entre 1436 y 1438 con la técnica del buon fresco y de una franja de decoración basamental que los acompaña. La obra se atribuye en esta tesis a Giovanni di Consalvo, supuesto pintor de origen portugués, cuyo nombre emana de un libro de cuentas del monasterio de la Badia Fiorentina, hoy conservado en el ASF, donde aparece citado repetidas veces como receptor de pagos por pigmentos y otros materiales para la realización de la obra. Los frescos del Chiostro degli Aranci son fruto de una comisión del abad Gomes Eannes de Portugal, que gobernaba la Badia Fiorentina durante la época, y responden a su voluntad reformadora para devolver el monaquismo a sus orígenes, a la Regla y a los Padres del Desierto, siguiendo los postulados de Ambrogio Traversari, amigo de Gomes y general de la Orden Camaldulense, que pudo tener un papel importante en la consecución de la obra por su conocimiento de los textos patrísticos. La voluntad reformadora se encuentra plasmada en la combinación de la vida de san Benito -en los lunetos- con retratos y frases extraídas de los Verba Seniorum -en la decoración basamental-. El resultado, destinado a la educación de los monjes de la Badia, es un manifiesto de la Reforma monacal de Gomes y Traversari de gran valor artístico. El análisis de los lunetos del ciclo nos indica la presencia de un mestizaje pictórico que combina la pintura florentina de raíz masacciana, con la luz y el color de Fra Angelico, junto a detalles y características propias de la pintura de los primitivos flamencos. El volumen, el uso de la luz y la sombra y las composiciones que concentran diversos episodios de la Storia en una sola imagen, responden a la influencia del arte de Masaccio, filtrado a través del arte lumínico de Fra Angelico. Por otro lado, el reflejo de los elementos en las aguas y el brillo en los objetos metálicos indican un conocimiento de las innovaciones pictóricas que habían tenido lugar en Flandes en los años anteriores a 1346. El conocimiento de estas por parte Consalvo pudo tener lugar en contacto directo con los talleres en Flandes durante el viaje del Infante Dom Pedro de Portugal o a través de la llegada de obras flamencas, durante los años (1431-1445) que duró el Concilio de Basilea-Ferrara-Florencia, a Florencia -lugar de residencia del Papa Eugenio IV durante gran parte del tiempo del Concilio-. Para entender el mestizaje presente en los frescos, en la investigación se realiza un análisis de la pintura florentina posmasacciana centrándose en la obra de Fra Angelico sobretodo, y en algunas de las obras perdidas del período posmasacciano, principalmente el ciclo mural de Sant’ Egidio. Estos análisis han permitido situar el ciclo mural de la Badia Fiorentina en su lugar correspondiente y revalorizar su papel en la evolución de la pintura florentina. El análisis realizado permite considerar el ciclo mural de la Badia Fiorentina como el primer introductor del influjo flamenco en la pintura florentina, principalmente del recurso pictórico de reflejar los objetos en el agua. El papel del ciclo como introductor de este recurso permite analizar las obras de algunos de los pintores de la generación siguiente como Piero della Francesca o Alesso Baldovinetti y ver la influencia ejercida por el ciclo en sus obras de juventud. Y por otra parte, nos instruye hoy en día, sobre un período de la pintura florentina, dominado por grandes ciclos murales como el del ábside de Sant’Egidio o el de la capilla Gianfigliazzi de Santa Trinita y del que solo tenemos constancia prácticamente a través de su antecesor, el ciclo de la Badia.
This PhD examines the mural cycle that decorates the upper gallery of the main cloister of the Badia Fiorentina in Florence, called Chiostro degli Aranci, in relation to the postmasaccian Florentine painting. The cycle consists of 10 lunettes painted between 1436 and 1438 with the buon fresco technique and a strip of basement decoration that accompanies them. This work is attributed in this PhD to Giovanni di Consalvo, painter of Portuguese origins, whose name comes from a ledger of the monastery of the Badia Fiorentina, now preserved in the ASF, that mentions repeatedly Consalvo as a recipient of payments for pigments and other materials to carry out the work of the frescoes. The frescoes in the Chiostro degli Aranci are the result of a commission Abbot Gomes of Portugal, who ruled the Badia Fiorentina during the period, and respond to his desire for reform monasticism and to return it to its origins, to the Rule and to the Desert Fathers. The analysis allows us to consider the mural cycle of Badia Fiorentina as the first introducer of Flemish influence on Florentine painting, mainly with the pictorial resource of the reflection of objects in the water. The role of the cycle as the introducer of this resource in Florentine painting was very important for the early work of some of the painters of the next generation as Piero della Francesca or Alesso Baldovinetti. On the other hand, teaches us today, over a period of the Florentine painting, dominated by large mural cycles as the apse of Sant'Egidio or the Gianfigliazzi chapel of Santa Trinita and that today we can only learn about them through its predecessor, the cycle of Badia.

Abstract:
Wall paintings survive in many houses dating from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries yet, apart from recording the phenomenon, there has been very little written about them. This research explores how common wall paintings were, what sort of houses had them, when they were painted and most importantly, what was their significance in terms of what they can reveal about the lives of the people who chose to decorate their homes in this manner. Research has concentrated on the Welsh Marches although examples from elsewhere have been referred to. The research hypotheses are:
  • 1. Wall paintings were much more widespread than existing records suggest and were probably universal where there was money to spend on embellishing a house.
  • 2. Following on from this, wall paintings would have been found in houses throughout the social scale, apart from the humblest dwellings.
  • 3. The paintings were executed by itinerant painters who used pattern books as a source of design.
  • 4. This form of decoration was most commonly found in the period 1550-1625, with few paintings prior to this date and a rapid decline in numbers after this period.
  • 5. In some cases there is a connection between the content of the painting and the function of the room.
The fifth hypothesis was widened during the course of the research to examine the significance of wall paintings generally. In trying to find out what wall paintings signified to the owners of houses, this research has attempted to look at all the facets of their life and environment which may have a bearing on this. This includes an understanding of the buildings themselves, exploring who the people were who might have lived in them and placing these people in their social and cultural contexts. Always the emphasis has been on the small and local rather than on the bigger picture. as this is what touched people at the vernacular level most closely. In order to do this, the research has adopted a wide-ranging and multidisciplinary approach which cuts across traditional fields of knowledge. Therefore, the study combines library and documentary-based evidence with extensive fieldwork, in order to investigate diverse kinds of evidence. This includes research on the wall paintings themselves, the buildings in which they were found and the social, religious and cultural circumstances in which they were created. The research synthesises a wide range of methods for gathering and interpreting data: study and analysis of contemporary literature and documents, the study of a wide range of published and unpublished research, and a substantial fieldwork survey. First the context in which wall paintings were created is explored, in terms of physical environment, cultural and social characteristics of the period, and the church. Then the key findings arising from the fieldwork are discussed, looking at the sorts of houses that have wall paintings, the people who lived in them, and in detail at the characteristics of the paintings found. 233 wall paintings were recorded in 188 buildings. The hypotheses about universality and status are explored by investigating the vernacular qualities of wall painting in terms of materials and techniques required, who was doing the paintings, and their cost. Through the identification of a range of iconography, and the classification of paintings, possible sources for wall painting designs are explored. Finally the key issue of the significance of painted decoration at the vernacular level is discussed drawing on the various strands of the research in order to understand why particular forms of decoration might have been chosen, and what social and cultural meanings they may have had. The findings of the research indicate that wall paintings were very widespread. They were found throughout the area of study in houses of all but the very poor. Whilst the majority of paintings surveyed were in houses of the gentry or better-off members of society it is argued that this reflects the differential rate of survival of vernacular buildings. A technical analysis of wall paintings and an assessment of their total cost reveals the vernacular qualities of the wall paintings. This also suggests that wall paintings were only ever intended as short term decoration as some of the pigments used were very fugitive. Further evidence for this has been found in the practice of overpainting one scheme with another within a short period, which was revealed through microscopic analysis of paint samples. The contemporary aesthetic included striking yet crude designs which were capable of being executed by local craftsmen. These findings indicate that wall paintings could have been extensive lower down the social scale. Whilst painted decoration throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was examined, it is submitted that the majority of paintings were executed during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries - a period of considerable change during the transition from a medieval to an early modern society. The paintings dating from this period have a character quite distinct from the limited number found earlier and later than this period. The significance of wall paintings is closely bound up with issues of status. This period of transition was characterised by outward expressions of status by means of display in a variety of forms. It is argued in this research that wall paintings were an element of such display. Iconography included decorative as well as figure subjects and it is this that holds the key to the significance of the paintings. The higher status houses had the more complex figurative and ornamental schemes whilst, for the most part, the humbler houses had simpler ornamental schemes. Also the simpler, decorative schemes seem to have been more common in halls whilst more sophisticated paintings appear to have been in the more private rooms of the house. The iconography and the context of the wall paintings can provide an important insight into some of the more intangible and elusive aspects of vernacular life. Social and cultural values of the period are particularly difficult to access as surviving indicators of these are limited. Literary sources have limited value in a society which expressed itself in a predominantly non-literate fashion. Vernacular buildings can provide a major source of information and this research argues that wall paintings were a key element in vernacular buildings at a specific time during the transition from a medieval to an early modern society and are, therefore, a crucial record of changing social and cultural values.

Abstract:
An outline of the history of mural and icon-painting in Novgorod demonstrates that the pictorial references in icons to church constructions, interiors, and their mural decorations had a long-standing tradition in Novgorod. Over time, these references became more and more explicit, so that they identified the Christian Church recognizably and exclusively with Byzantine Orthodoxy. The first half of the chapter analyses church decoration and the second icon-painting of Novgorod, thus seeking to explore the direct iconographic roots of the Wisdom icon. The chapter discusses the meaning of the prepared throne (Hetoimasia) in the Novgorod Sophia image, its light symbolism, and the development of anti-Latin ecclesiological iconographies in Novgorod.

"of the house, both practically and symbolically — a role which links women, not only with the traditional concept of hearth and home, but also indicates her authority and control in that sphere (Bonomi & Ruta Serafini 1994). Keys and women are further symbolised in religious iconography, as we will see later. Sex The depiction of love-making, on both beds and chairs, is very graphically represented in situla art (fig. 6). Boardman wrote that "love-making has iconographie conventions like any other . . . whether the intention is pleasure, display, procreation or cult" and indeed all these explanations have been offered as explanation for such scenes in situla art. I would concur with Boardman and Bonfante that these depictions are purely secular (Boardman 1971; Bonfante 1981), rather than ritual, as suggested by Kastelic and Eibner. The scene on the Castelvetro mirror (fig. 6, 1), which, as we have seen, is for Kastelic a hieros gamos, could, perhaps, be more plausibly can be read in the form of a strip cartoon, in which a rider arrives on horseback, a prostitute is procured, with price being negotiated between a man and a woman — with the women holding up two fingers the man one — and the act subsequently carried out after further arrangements between a woman and a seated man. In all probability this was a recognisable story, perhaps related to the one about the inn-keeper's daughter still celebrated in Italian popular song, or, if we take into account the link between this and Etruscan mirrors, perhaps even some myth or legend. Even though the bed is in the form of the Urnfield bird-headed sun-boat, since the latter is such a common decorative motif, it cannot be used to interpret this as a religious image. The fact that this 'tale' is depicted on a mirror, which one presumes was a female item, is rather surprising and suggests that, either it was intended as a gift for a high class prostitute, or can be seen a rather crude allusion to sex on a gift for a more respectable woman. Whatever the interpretation, there is surely some relationship between the mirror, as an object of self adornment, and the subject matter depicted on it, which again follows the tendency of situla art to relate decoration to the function of the object. This and other depictions of love-making, rich in the sensuous detail of vibrating mattresses and pubic hair, indeed are more redolent of an earthy Italic sense of enjoyment than any religious allusion to sacred marriage. Such sexually explicit designs are comparable with Eruscan tomb painting and may reflect the open sexuality held to be characteristic of Etruscan women, which was commented on by Theopompus in the 4th century BC (Bonfante 1994). We can conclude that women may be shown in mainly subservient roles on the situlae because these were used in the context of male entertainment and festivals, but on the rattle they appear in a more productive light. The mirror, certainly belonging to someone with wealth, if not respectability, carries a more uncertain message. On Greek red figure drinking cups, objects of male use, we sometime find a duality of the representation of the hetairai and the virtuous wife, sometimes on the same cup, with the latter, incidentally, often engaged in spinning or weaving (Beard 1991: 28- 9). Female deities The representation of a goddess with the keys, as well as animals, is found in situla art on five votive plaques probably found in a hoard near Montebelluna (Fogolari 1956) (fig. 7). The figure, accompanied by both plants and animals, is, according to Fogolari, probably a fertility goddess, Pothnia theron — a Venetic equivalent of Demeter — carrying the key to both the opening of the fertility of plants and help in the birth of animals and women (Fogolari 1956). Keys, however, as we have seen, are also found in female graves in the area, where they suggest the role of women as keepers of the household, a role which may also have been sanctioned in the supernatural world (Bonomi & Ruta Serafini 1994)."
