Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes a series of 14th-century Italian frescoes in Padua's Cappella di San Felice. These little-seen works depict the life and works of St. James the Great, the patron saint of Spain. Their significance extends beyond their artistic beauty and devotional subject matter. The author uncovers how the frescoes reflect the changing social and political landscape of the era, particularly as it relates to the rise of humanism and individualism which would dominate artistic and intellectual endeavors in the centuries to follow. The frescoes reveal the influence of the stories of the bible and saints while also displaying the people and places of the working world of their time. This study makes a valuable contribution to Italian art history by shedding light on the transition from medieval to renaissance styles and the religious and cultural paradigms of the period.
