Zusammenfassung:"In this book, Louise Bourdua examines how Franciscan church decoration developed between 1250 and 1400. Focusing on three important churches - San Fermo Maggiore, Verona; San Lorenzo, Vicenza; and Sant' Antonio, Padua - she argues that local Franciscan friars were more interested in their own conception of how artistic programmes should work than merely following models for decoration issued from the mother church at Assisi. In addition, lay patrons also had considerable input into the decoration programmes. These case studies serve as a multiform model of patronage, which is tested against other commissions of the trecento. The author also demonstrates how archival documentation and art can be combined to extend our understanding of Franciscan art programmes."--BOOK JACKET.
