2021 - L'Erma di Bretschneider

P. 97-108

  • The Cutting by Cola di Fuccio from the Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venice. Reconsiderations on the Origins and HistoryThe study traces the critical history of the cutting depicting the figure of a haloed Saint (identified with Santa Monica) now at the Cini Foundation in Venice. It is attributed to the hand of the illuminator and probably painter conventionally referred to as the Master of Sant'Eugenio, now probably recognized in the figure of Cola di Fuccio, active in Siena during the first half of the 14th century. The cutting has been annexed by critics to the group of membra disiecta from an Augustinian Gradual, denying the thesis of Ferdinando Bologna, who believed the fragment to be part of an Antiphonary now preserved in Cava dei Tirreni and produced in the Benedictine context.
  • The study of text traces in the verse of the cutting made it possible to recognize a liturgical chant relating to Saint Scholastica, sister of Saint Benedict, thus opening the hypothesis of a Benedictine provenance of the illumination, this also corroborated by iconographic considerations and stylistic similarities between the Cini cutting and the Cava illuminations of, all linked to a pictorial culture that from Duccio di Buoninsegna reaches the most modern solutions of Pietro Lorenzetti.
