Guariento di Arpo (1310-1370), sometimes incorrectly referred to as Guerriero, was a 14th-century painter whose career was centered in Padua. The painter is buried in the church of San Bernardino, Padua. Guariento's major commissions in Padua include the choir frescoes for the Augustinian hermits' church of the Eremitani, which depict scenes from the life of St. Augustine, the order's founder. Painted in 1338, the cycle was severely damaged by the bombardment of 1944. Guariento also decorated the chapel of the Palazzo Carrara in Padua with panel paintings of the Madonna, St Matthew Evangelist and 25 angels. After the reconstruction of the palace in 1779 the panels were transferred to the Museo Civico of Padua. The decoration of the chapel is the subject of a recent study by Kornelia Mohl.〔''Die Ausstattung der Cappella Carrara in der Reggia Carrarese in Padua: durch den Paduaner Meister Guariento di Arpo - Ein Rekonstruktionsversuch'' (Vienna: AV Akademikerverlag, 2014)〕 In 1355, having already acquired high renown in his native city, he was invited by the Venetian republic to paint a representation of Paradise in the Palazzo Ducale, which survives in a fragmentary state. Surviving works on panel include the ''Coronation of the Virgin'' altarpiece, dated to 1344 (Pasadena, Norton Simon Museum of Art); the ''Madonna of Humility'' dated to the 1340s (Los Angeles, J. Paul Getty Museum); the ''Madonna and Child'' from the 1360s (New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art); and the ''Ascension of Christ'' of 1344 (Venice, Collezione Vittorio Cini). Guariento is generally viewed as the first artist to successfully combine the volumetric and spatial developments of Florentine painting of the early ''trecento'' with the more linear and abstract Late Gothic and Byzantine manner that had hitherto prevailed in the Veneto. 〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guariento di Arpo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
