We had our artist tea today. The artist that we focused on was Cimabue. If you are interested in reading more about him please read my previous artist tea post found in the blog archives.
Cimabue's artworks would have a profound influence for other artists during the Early Renaissance. He helped raise the status bar that society had placed for artists at that time. Artists no longer came from low-income families but now higher incomes as well.
The crucifix as an icon dates back to the fourth century and has been used in art mediums for centuries. The Crucifix by Cimabue can still be seen today in the church of San Domenico located in Arezzo, Italy.
The resources that I used for this study of Cimabue were:
A Child's History of Art by: V.M. Hillyer
God and the History of Art by: Barry Stebbing
