Arnoldi Alberto

Madonna

The Lombard Arnoldi, who is known for having carried on the decoration of Giotto's bell tower, with the series of the Sacraments, seems to favour structures of neo-Romanesque squareness, not, however, without a certain harshness. The simplification tending towards a geometric structuring of the image, reveals a reaction against excessive ornamentation and the decorative dissolution of volumes.
