Domenico Veneziano in Context: Reassessing Florentine Visual Culture in the 1440s

尽管他被公认为15世纪最具创新精神的画家之一，但多梅尼科·威尼斯亚诺（Domenico Veneziano）仍然是一位令人惊讶的未被充分研究的艺术家。她的博士学位提案建立在她迄今为止的研究生工作的基础上，以推进对这位艺术家的创新专题研究，这将把他的关键作品定位为特定于佛罗伦萨特定环境的特定项目，与当代作品进行重新评估，而不是被插入到目的论和回顾性认可的进步链中。换句话说，她的项目将把Veneziano的作品与14世纪40年代佛罗伦萨艺术赞助的总体运行并置，以在城市景观中获得更多的购买他的公共作品的新颖性。她将特别关注多梅尼科·维内齐亚诺在佛罗伦萨公共艺术中三个最重要的流派——祭坛画、教堂壁画和街头帐篷——的作品，并将它们与其他艺术家的当代公共委托作品并置。他们与多梅尼科·维内齐亚诺作品的比较将使我们进一步了解现代性对那个时期的佛罗伦萨观众意味着什么。采用这种不同寻常的视角，考虑到艺术作品的构思环境以及当代但更“保守”的艺术生产，她的项目试图纠正对15世纪中期佛罗伦萨绘画伟大杰作的误导和脱离语境的解释。

Despite his accepted status as one of the most innovative painters of the 15th century, Domenico Veneziano remains an astonishingly understudied artist. Her PhD proposal builds on her graduate work to date to advance an innovative monographic study of the artist, which will situate his key works as site-specific projects for particular Florence contexts, re-evaluated against contemporary works as opposed to being inserted into a teleological and retrospectively sanctioned chain of progress. In other words, her project will juxtapose Veneziano's work with the general run of Florentine artistic patronage in the 1440s to gain greater purchase on the novelty of his public works within the cityscape. In particular, she will focus on Domenico Veneziano's work in three of the most significant genres of Florentine public art - altarpieces, chapel frescoes and street tabernacles - juxtaposing them with contemporary public commissions by other artists. Their comparison with Domenico Veneziano's work will grant us additional purchase on what modernity meant for the Florentine audiences of the period. Adopting this unusual perspective, considering the environments for which artworks were conceived as well as contemporary but more 'conservative' artistic production, her project seeks to correct misleading and decontextualized interpretations of the great masterpieces of mid-15th-century Florentine painting.
