The Fourteenth Century
1
Sienese School
School of Italian painting which fluorished between the 13th and 15th
centuries and for a time rivaled Florence, though it was more
conservative, being inclined towards the decorative beauty and elegant
grace of late Gothic art. Its most important representatives include
Duccio, whose work shows Byzantine influence; his pupil Simone Martini;
Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti

Florentine School
In the 13th century artists in Pisa and Lucca played an important part in
the initial stage of Tuscan paintings and foreshadowed early Florentine
artists. Crucifixes and icons, although still Byzantine in style, became
more 'Western' in treatment. The work of Giunta Pisano in Pisa and the
Berlinghieri family in Lucca illustrates this transitional phase. In
Florence Cimabue was the most important artist before Giotto. He was
trained in the Byzantine tradition in the workshops of the baptistery.
The true founder of the Florentine school was Giotto. His ability to render
three-dimensional form and space, the simplicity of his compositions and
his effective portrayal of human emotions make his works the first
modern paintings. His impact on Florentine painters was enormous,
resulting in a sort of Giottesque academicism. Artists influenced by him
were: Taddeo and Agnolo Gaddi, Bernardo Daddi, Maso di Banco,
Giottino and Nardo di Cione. Giotto's influence is also noticeable in the
work of Andrea Orcagna, Andrea da Firenze, and Spinello Aretino.
