Studien zu einer Kreuzigung im Louvre

Malerei nach Giotto in Unteritalien und Kunst am Anjou-Hof

This book is dedicated to a Neapolitan crucifixion panel from the first half of the fourteenth century, acquired by the Musée du Louvre in 1999. It was the aim of the study to analyse the crucifixion iconographically to determine its origin. In doing so it becomes clear that this representation shows motifs, already known from Central Italy as well as new motifs, that are only allegeable in a local Neapolitan context. This leads to the attribution of the panel to the Neapolitan workshop of Giotto. The dating of the crucifixion to years 1332/1333 results from the debate around the visio beatifica Dei, an important issue at the court of Robert of Anjou at that time, that had a huge impact on the panels composition. The placement of the crucifix-ion in the courtly context is thereby proven.

Katharina Weiger studied Art History, Romance Languages and Literature (Italian) and Modern German Literary Studies in Freiburg, Rome and Berlin. She was as a doctoral fellow at the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence and afterwards a project researcher in the DFG-Project „Ferdinand Gregorovius: Poetry and Science. Collected German and Italian letters“, based at the DHI Rome. She is now an academic librarian in the library of the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence.
