Overview
What you will study
- The enthusiastic response to the example and teaching of St Francis and St Dominic, the charismatic founders of the two largest orders, led ultimately to a transformation of the visual culture of cities such as Florence, Siena, Pisa and Assisi.
- The churches built for the friars and their growing urban congregations were adorned with fresco cycles, altarpieces and monuments of highly original form and style, employing innovative techniques of naturalism and narration to communicate meaning, to display identity, and to stimulate devotion.
- This Art for the Friars in Early Renaissance Italy course offered by The Courtauld Institute of Art is devoted to discovering how so many magnificent works of art came to be created for friars and nuns committed to lives of simplicity and poverty.
