The weakness of the Sienese school was that it aimed rather at the portrayal of expression and emotion than at perfection of form. When once this tendency is established, decadence follows rapidly, for painters vie with each other in the rendering of violent ian masters, it is necessary to study his frescoes; but the excellent picture by him in the Louvre, St. Francis receiving the Stigmata, gives some faint idea of his powers. Giottos drawing is not always correct, his draperies are sometimes heavy and his heads vulgar; but with what clarity and poetry he expresses what he has to say! Giottos frescoes at Assisi, illustrating the life of St. Francis, and those at Padua and in the Church of Santa Croce at Florence (Fig. 227) are among the most charming achievements of painting, although not one of the figures they contain is above criticism. Giotto was inspired by the Gothic masters, notably by Giovanni Pisano, (d. 1329), but above all, by Nature. His disciples were nearly all merely Giottesques, who escaped from the salutary contact with realities. Their very prolific school extended throughout Italy. It produced many ingenious and inventive illustrators, such as the unknown painters of the great frescoes in the Campo Santo of Pisa; but, preoccupied above all with narrative, they made no progress towards greater purity and precision of form. Giottism produced but one great artist, the monk Fra Angelico of Fiesole (1387-1455), and even he was influenced by Masaccio, an uncompromising realist. Fra Angelico was the painter par excellence of Christianity as preached by St. Francis of Assisi. The joys of belief, the happiness of suffering for the faith, the beatitude of the elect, have never been more eloquently express. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
