Matteo Giovanetti (English spelling)

Japanese: Matteo Giovanetti（英語表記）MatteoGiovanetti

…In modern times, in addition to functioning as an administrative center, it is also known for the Avignon Arts Festival, which was established after World War II, and the avant-garde theater and "sound and light spectacle" held in the courtyard of the former Papal Palace are gaining more and more recognition every year.

As a result of the relocation of the Papacy, Italian painters such as Martini and Matteo Giovanetti (date of birth and death unknown) were invited to move there between 1340 and 1350, and Italian culture flourished in the Papal Palace (with Giovanetti and others working on the mural decorations).

… International exchanges were already evident in the 1320s, when Giotto's innovations in Italian painting introduced three-dimensional effects and perspectives that suggested the presence of space, and in works north of the Alps, where a deeper understanding of humanity was shown in the expression of emotions. In the mid-14th century, however, they began to gain momentum through construction projects in the papal city of Avignon and the imperial city of Prague.

…　国際的交流は，1320年代すでにジョットにはじまるイタリア絵画の革新の影響として，空間の存在を暗示する立体感や遠近感表現の画面への導入や，感情表現に示される人間解釈の深化がアルプス以北の作品に散見されることから立証されているが，14世紀中葉，教皇の都アビニョンと皇帝の都プラハでの造営事業を通じて本格化する。アビニョンに集まった工人の出身地は多彩であるが，S.マルティーニ，ジョバネッティMatteo Giovanetti(生没年不詳)などシエナ派の画家が招かれ教皇庁壁画，祭壇画，写本挿絵制作などに活躍し，アビニョンを中継地としてシエナ派の影響が国際的に波及した。プラハでもカール4世が，地元のみならずフランス，ドイツ，イタリアから工人を招き，大聖堂やカールシュタイン城を造営した。…
