Florentiner Sgraffito-Dekorationen des 14. und 15. Jahrhunderts

In the 14th and 15th centuries, the outer walls of numerous palaces, churches and public buildings in Florence were decorated in sgraffito, a design based on the scratching of motifs into the plaster surface. Among the most prominent examples are the courtyards of the Medici Palace and the Palazzo della Signoria. The study examines the history of the technology and the practical execution, considers the status as an (architectural) image and gives an overview of the use of sgraffito in other Italian cities. The detailed catalogue includes 34 Florentine buildings with sgraffito decorations executed in the Tre- and Quattrocento.

Andreas Huth studied Restoration/Conservation at Potsdam University of Applied Sciences and art history at the Humboldt University. He received a PhD from Freie Universität Berlin with a thesis on the art of sgraffito in Tre- and Quattrocento Florence. He teaches art History and artistic techniques at the University of Bamberg. His research focuses on the art and architecture in early modern Italy, artistic techniques and materials, and political iconography.
