This unit investigates the wealth of material in Tuscany (principally Florence, Siena, Pisa and Lucca) for studying, within the contexts of belief, society and the economy constructed in the ecclesiastical and secular worlds in which the fine arts and architecture flourished in late-medieval and early-renaissance Italy, the art and architecture of the mid-13th to the early 15th centuries. Canonical works by major artists from Cimabue, Duccio and Giotto to Brunelleschi, Ghiberti, and Masaccio provide the focus through which key developments in art and architecture are related to their formative contexts.
