Contexte artistique et attribution
Allegretto Nuzi (vers 1315 – 1373) est un peintre italien du gothique international, originaire de Fabriano dans les Marches (centre-Italie). Sa carrière se déroule au milieu du XIVᵉ siècle, avec des passages documentés à Florence où il rencontre l’influence de Giotto et de l’école siennoise, qu’il conjugue avec la tradition des Marches. Son style mêle monumentalité, composition rigoureuse et expressivité des figures, ce qui le place parmi les principaux peintres italiens de son temps en dehors des grands centres artistiques.
La peinture est inventoriée comme attribuée à l’école de Francescuccio Ghissi, mais elle a été anciennement attribuée à Nuzi (sous diverses variantes de nom : Allegretto di Nuzzi, Nucci di Nuzzio), ce qui reflète l’histoire complexe des attributions dans l’Italie du Trecento.
Description matérielle et conservation
Technique : tempera et or sur panneau de bois de peuplier, procédé caractéristique des peintres italiens du Moyen Âge, fondé sur l’usage d’un fond d’or étincelant qui accentue la dimension sacrée du sujet.
Dimensions : environ 1,38 m × 0,99 m.
Histoire du dépôt : l’œuvre provient de la collection Campana à Rome, acquise par le Musée du Louvre en 1863, puis déposée successivement dans plusieurs musées provinciaux avant d’être confiée au Musée du Petit Palais d’Avignon. Elle a été restaurée en 1970.
Sujet et iconographie
Thème principal
La composition représente la Vierge Marie trônant en majesté (« Maestà »), entourée de six anges. Ce type iconographique dérive de la tradition byzantine (la Theotokos vénérée), reprise et recyclée dans l’art occidental médiéval pour affirmer la gloire céleste de Marie et sa place centrale dans l’économie du salut. La figure de la Vierge est souvent magnifiée par un trône élevé et une auréole ou un fond d’or, symbolisant la lumière divine et sa royauté spirituelle.
Les anges...
Les anges sont généralement représentés en attitude d’adoration ou de musique céleste autour de Marie : ce schéma traduit à la fois la hiérarchie céleste et une forme de liturgie picturale : la Vierge, reine du Ciel, est entourée de créatures célestes qui l’honorent par leur présence. L’utilisation de l’or accentue cette dimension lumineuse et mystique, propre à la dévotion médiévale.
Style et langage visuel
Composition
La structure pyramidale classique de l’iconographie de la Maestà est visible : la Vierge au centre, hiérarchiquement plus importante, entourée de figures angéliques qui en accentuent l’autorité divine. L’emploi d’un fond d’or lisse élimine toute perspective narrative et place l’œuvre dans un espace sacré plutôt que terrestre.
Style gothique international
Même si l’attribution précise reste complexe (école de Ghissi / Nuzi), on note une synthèse stylistique :
une ligne sûre et définie des contours, héritée de l’art toscan,
une décoration raffinée des auréoles et du fond, typique du gothique international,
une attention aux plis des vêtements et aux expressions des visages, qui humanisent légèrement les figures sans enlever à la scène son aura sacrée.
Signification et interprétation
Dimension spirituelle
Dans une œuvre de dévotion médiévale comme celle-ci, la représentation de la Vierge de Majesté n’est pas seulement narrative, mais théologique : elle affirme la médiation de Marie entre Dieu et les fidèles, et symbolise l’espérance chrétienne. Les six anges ne sont pas de simples ornements : ils magnifient par leur présence la gloire de Marie, participant à une liturgie visuelle qui invite à la contemplation.
Fonction liturgique
Des tableaux de ce type étaient souvent conçus pour des autels majeurs ou des lieux de culte, en tant que point focal pour la prière des fidèles. La taille du panneau et la richesse des matériaux (or, tempera) en font une pièce adaptée à une liturgie solennelle.
Conclusion
La Vierge de Majesté entourée de six anges est une œuvre emblématique du gothique italien du XIVᵉ siècle, où se mêlent influences toscanes et locales. Que l’on l’attribue à Allegretto Nuzi ou à l’école de Francescuccio Ghissi, elle témoigne de la continuité de l’iconographie de la Maestà et de la manière dont les artistes médiévaux utilisaient la tempéra et l’or pour créer des compositions à la fois sacrées et visuellement puissantes.

This is your Tampa Bay - Artist Ariel Perez
Just outside of town beyond the blueberry fields, you’ll find Tampa Bay’s treasured artist, Ariel Perez. His warm smile welcomes you and his contemporary appearance makes it evident that he’s an artist. Inside, the space is lined with his stunning 5’ paintings bathed in window light which brings out every color and texture. Ariel’s Cuban accent, and the hint of “fire in the eyes”, draws you to the man and his work. He is unique, born in Havana, Cuba, and educated at the Institute of Industrial Design, majoring in fashion. He fell in love with his wife when they were teenagers living in Cuba, and in 1997 they married and currently reside in Odessa, FL. Making jewelry, shoes, and clothing were his profession in Cuba, now it’s his stunning paintings and piano coffee tables. He said that his mind is always designing and creating, and his work is how he expresses himself.
What will truly blow your mind are the Piano Coffee Tables he’s created. Musicians and non musicians alike will be intrigued to see tables that are art, containing the inside components of a piano, viewable under glass. Each table is sui generic, and that in itself will guarantee you’ll have a personal favorite as there is a piano coffee table created to suit every taste. Ariel started creating these tables in 2014 after he was making arrangements to have an old piano removed from his home when a friend suggested he do something with the cast iron plate, and the rest is history.

More sorting of archive. This time three large boxes of catalogues, artist books, assemblings, 'zines etc.
One of my favourite contemporary artists. Beautifully intricate work, it never fails to make me smile.
Not sure if this one is famous or not, but a lot of people were photographing him drawing so I thought I'd do the same.
Title: Blucifer
This original oil painting by artist Christopher Clark is of the giant blue horse statue outside the Denver International Airport (DIA). The locals seem to have a love-hate relationship with the aptly nicknamed "Blucifer" statue: some love it, and some hate it. It seems that the Denver residents who lived here long before the statue was installed are the ones who dislike it the most, and the newer arrivals enjoy it a bit more. It seems it would bring to mind the city's obsession with the local NFL team the Denver Broncos, but the glowing red eyes and general demonic disposition of this fellow leave one feeling a tad perplexed. Regardless of the mixed feelings on this eery blue bronco, it has become an icon of Denver, being one of the first sights to welcome visitors at the DIA.
If the statue isn't strange enough, the history of it makes it even moreso. While still being created, a section of the bloodthirsty bronco actually fell on and killed its artist, Luis Jiménez, severing an artery in his leg. His sons finished the sculpture and it was successfully installed in 2008 to mixed reviews. Many Denver residents have even petitioned to have it removed, but it's unlikely that Blucifer will be going away any time soon.
As part of my journey capturing the beautiful city of Denver in oil paint, I felt it necessary to include this astonishing icon as well. Though I have to admit, strangely, that while painting this intimidating and beautiful beast, at one point the canvas came loose from the easel and… fell on me. I escaped with just a little paint on my arm and I lived to tell the tale, but it's apparent that the spirit of the Blue Bronco reaches far and wide.
