1623 IT - Padua’s fourteenth-century fresco cycles (2021)

Padua’s fourteenth-century fresco cycles

"The site is composed of eight religious and secular building complexes, within the historic walled city of Padua, which house a selection of fresco cycles painted between 1302 and 1397 by different artists for different types of patron and within buildings of diverse functions. Nevertheless, the frescos maintain a unity of style and content. They include Giotto’s Scrovegni Chapel fresco cycle, considered to have marked the beginning of a revolutionary development in the history of mural painting, as well as other fresco cycles of different artists, namely Guariento di Arpo, Giusto de’ Menabuoi, Altichiero da Zevio, Jacopo Avanzi and Jacopo da Verona. As a group, these fresco cycles illustrate how, over the course of a century, fresco art developed along a new creative impetus and understanding of spatial representation. "

绘画之都帕多瓦,乔托的斯克洛维尼礼拜堂及帕多瓦14世纪壁画群

"该遗产地由8个分布在帕多瓦老城区内的宗教和世俗建筑群构成,这里有多位艺术家在1302-1397年之间为不同类型的赞助人在不同功能的建筑内创作的大量壁画。然而,帕多瓦壁画群在风格和内容上保持了统一性,其中包括乔托(Giotto)在斯克洛维尼礼拜堂绘制的壁画(被认为是壁画史上革命性发展的开端),以及其他艺术家的作品,如阿珀的瓜里恩托、梅纳博伊的朱斯托、泽维奥的阿尔泰基耶罗、维罗纳的阿万齐和雅各布。这些壁画共同展现了14世纪壁画艺术是如何随着新的创作动力和对空间表现的理解而发展的。"
