	GIOVANNI CIMABUE - LoveToKnow Article on GIOVANNI CIMABUE
		Cimabue was at this time living in the Borgo Allegri, then outside the walls of Florence; the legend that the name Allegri (Joyous) was bestowed on the locality in consequence of this striking popular display is more attractive than accurate, for the name existed already.
		Giovanni Cimabue was buried in the cathedral of Florence, S. Maria del Fiore, with an epitaph written by one of the Nini : Credidit ut Cimabos picturae castra tenere, Sic tenuit vivens; nunc tenet astra poli.
		In a general way, it may be said that Cimabue showed himself forcible in his paintings, as especially in heads of aged or strongly characterized men; and, if the then existing development of art had allowed of this, he might have had it in him to express the beautiful as well.

	Giovanni Cimabue - Wikipedia
		Kunsthistorien har, efter Vasari, udpeget Cimabue som grundlÃ¦ggeren af den ny stil i malerkunsten, som bÃ¦reren af en mere natursand kunstretning, idet han dels gyder nyt liv i de overleverede, stive byzantinske former, dels danner en nÃ¸dvendig forudsÃ¦tning for sin elev Giottos sejrrige gennembrud.
		Cimabue skal endvidere have vÃ¦ret sysselsat (med stÃ¸rre mosaikarbejder) i Siena, ligeledes i Assisi, i hvis kirke S. Francesco man viser en hel rÃ¦kke ret livfulde, men dÃ¥rligt bevarede, vÃ¦gmalerier af ham.
		Et uomtvisteligt arbejde af Cimabue er dog mosaikbilledet med frelseren og evangelisten Johannes i Domkirkens apsis i Pisa (1301-02); Johannes-skikkelsen er af Cimabue; i Ã¸vrigt nÃ¦vner Vasari en lang rÃ¦kke vÃ¦rker af ham.

		The fact that Cimabue’s style was subsequently influenced by his Roman experience is underlined by his frescoes in the vault of the Evangelists in the superior basilica of Saint Francis at Assisi.
		Cimabue made extensive use of tempera touch-ups on dry plaster to complete his works, and over the centuries many of these were detached.
		Despite the paucity of information, subsequent research has led to the conclusion that Cimabue was perhaps the first innovator in Italian art who overcame the stylistic rigidity of Byzantine art and moved to more varied colors and natural representations of images.

	Giotto di Bondone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cimabue saw him drawing a sheep, so natural and so perfect that he immediately asked his father if he could bring Giotto with him to let him study art, and Giotto's career would have started in Cimabue's bottega.
		The Crucifixion in Santa Maria Novella in Florence is one of the major early works and clearly distinguishes Giotto's treatment of the subject from that of Cimabue and Duccio.
		Compare his Madonna to that of his teacher Cimabue, and you see why his contemporaries considered Giotto's paintings miracles of naturalism.

	NG London/Recent Acquisitions/Cimabue, 'The Virgin and Child enthroned with Two Angels'
		Cimabue was celebrated by Dante as the precursor of Giotto, and Vasari opened his 'Lives of the Artists' with Cimabue as the first important painter of the Italian Renaissance.
		The painting is a small-scale representation of the monumental versions of the 'Maestà' which Cimabue painted on panel for Santa Trinità, Florence, for San Francesco, Pisa, and in fresco in the Lower Church of San Francesco, Assisi.
		It is the only work by Cimabue in Great Britain, and one of only two surviving small-scale paintings by the artist, who, together with the younger Duccio and Giotto, was one of the pioneering artists of the early Italian Renaissance.

		Cimabue or Cenni di Pepe was a painter that concluded the Byzantine era.
		Cimabueâs earliest works tend to be rigid and lifeless, whereas later in life, his works portray new sensitivity to body movement and emotional expression.
		He was submitted to the rules of the Byzantine style but took it to the greatest heights of expression, paving the way for artists such as Giotto and new trends in Italian painting.

	Cimabue
		Cimabue did not outline forms and figures as the Byzantine artists had done in art history up to this point, but he was still ornamental in his art seen in the many gold lines in the Madonna’s clothing.
		Cimabue, 1240-1302, was one of the first famous artists in art history to begin to break away from the strict, flat rigid, frontal, and very ornamental color style of Byzantine art, in one of his famous altar panel paintings
		Cimabue seems to be capturing a moment in time when Jesus Christ has just died.

	Cimabue - Masters Of Painting
		The man in the front nearest Giotto is clad in cream tints, which blend, on the one hand, into the white of Cimabue, and on the other into the splendid saffron robes of the man next him, whose head is covered with drapery of a deeper shade of orange.
		Behind them walks Cimabue himself, clad in white, with a wreath surmounting the curious kind of white peaked cap then worn, and leading by the hand his pupil Giotto, who, we cannot help thinking, must have looked very young for his years.
		WHEN the late Lord Leighton was about eighteen years old, he painted a picture of Cimabue finding Giotto at the moment when the young shepherd was busy drawing one of his flock with a sharp stone on a smooth slab of rock.

	NG London/Press/New acquisition for the National Gallery, Cimabue, 'The Virgin and Child enthroned with two Angels'
		Cimabue, one of the founding fathers of the Italian Renaissance, was hitherto unrepresented in the collection in Trafalgar Square.
		Cimabue transformed the hierarchy of a Byzantine icon into a graceful and moving image of humanity.
		Cimabue's picture shows the Virgin and Child in majesty, seated on a throne flanked by two angels.

	Biography
		Ironically enough this passage, meant to illustrate the vanity of short-lived earthly glory, has become the basis for Cimabue's fame; for, embroidering on this reference, later writers made him into the discoverer and teacher of Giotto and regarded him as the first in the long line of great Italian painters.
		Documentary evidence is insufficient to confirm or deny this estimate of Cimabue's art.
		The movement towards greater naturalism, however, may owe more to contemporary Roman painters and mosaicists ( Cavallini, Torriti) than to him; he is documented in Rome in 1272 and could have known their work.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cenni di Petro Cimabue
		From this verse of Dante, which preserved for posterity the name of Cimabue, it was inferred that he was the master of Giotto.
		The story of Cimabue is a curious example of false historical data.
		Duccio was forgotten, and the memory of his remained attached to the name of Cimabue, which explains the verse of Dante (Pur., XI):

		Cimabue and Cavallini were credited with frescoes in the lower church.
		Giotto and Cimabue traditionally have received the lions share of the credit for the frescos in the church of St. Francis in Assisi.
		Cimabue's work is usually still "Byzantie" -- i.e., traditional, flat, etherial, "not alive" -- but he did experiment.

	Florence Art Guide - Cenni di Pepo called Cimabue
		Cimabue's second point of reference was therefore to become the Franciscan basilica at Assisi, where he worked from 1278 c.
		Thought to have come from the school of Giunta Pisano (first half of the 13th century), Cimabue was influenced by the new trends of the times, in the footsteps of Coppo di Marcovaldo and later of Pietro Cavallini from Rome.
		The painting of Cimabue (who can only be found mentioned in documents between 1272 and 1302), concludes the era of the influence of Byzantine art.

		It is said that when Giotto was only a boy with Cimabue, he once painted a fly on the nose of a face that Cimabue had drawn, so naturally that the master returning to his work tried more than once to drive it away with his hand, thinking it was real.
		One day Cimabue, going on business from Florence to Vespignano, found Giotto, while his sheep were feeding, drawing a sheep from nature upon a smooth and solid rock with a pointed stone, having never learnt from any one but nature.
		Cimabue, marvelling at him, stopped and asked him if he would go and be with him.

		Other assumptions are that it was executed under the supervision of Cimabue, or it is the work of an unknown master strongly influenced by Cimabue, Cavallini and Torriti.
		Several frescoes in the upper church of San Francesco are attributed to Cimabue.
		The attribution of this fresco, located on the left wall of the church, is doubtful.

		Bencivieni di Pepo, que seria chamado Cimabue, nasceu por volta de 1250 em Florença.

	Cimabue
		One recognizes in Cimabue's authority a quality of pride and impatience - by turns tragic, as in the now ruined Crucifix of Santa Croce, and gracious, as in the Louvre Virgin and Child Enthroned.
		Vasari told how Cimabue would rather destroy one of his pictures than brook any criticism of it, even his own.
		The Louvre picture is the largest of the series and the one in which the sharp line of the Greek style was most fully resolved into the fluency that was to be the perennial spirit of Tuscan art.

	Cimabue and Giotto: From Medieval to Renaissance Art
		Art historians have noted that while Cimabue began to break away from the Byzantine style of painting that had dominated Europe since the beginning of the Middle Ages, Giotto's innovations were much more radical and systematic.
		"Cimabue once thought that he held the field in painting, and now Giotto has the praise, so much so that the other's fame is obscured." Why did Giotto so quickly surpass his teacher?
		Giotto's Mary is also more firmly anchored to the ground, while Cimabue's Mary seems almost to float in space.

		Così, il secondo punto di riferimento per Cimabue è la basilica francescana di Assisi, dove lavora a partire dal 1278 ca., avendo a fianco il senese Duccio di Boninsegna e il fiorentino Giotto (cosa che rende problematico comprenderne i rapporti di scambio effettivi).
		La pittura di Cimabue, sulla cui vita si hanno notizie certe solo fra il 1272 e il 1302, conclude l'epoca dell'egemonia dell'arte bizantina.
		Considerato discepolo di Giunta Pisano (prima metà XIII secolo), Cimabue si muove sulla scia di quegli anni e sulle orme di Coppo di Marcovaldo e più tardi del romano Pietro Cavallini.

	Madonna Enthroned with the Child, St Francis and four Angels by CIMABUE
		It is one of the most problematic works of Cimabue concerning its datation and its condition after the 19th century repaintings.
		Considering its datation, it is generally accepted from stylistic reasons that it is later than Cimabue's frescoes in the Upper Church or the Madonna in the Musée du Louvre.
		The fresco is located in the right transept of the Lower Church.
