Cavallini - Pietro Cavallini

Japanese: カバリーニ - かばりーに(英語表記)Pietro Cavallini
Cavallini - Pietro Cavallini

Italian painter. He is considered one of the leading painters (Roman School) who were active in Rome from the late 13th century to the early 14th century. He was from the Celloni family, who owned assets in Rome. As only three historical documents remain, the details of his life are unclear, but it is known that he was mainly active in Rome, that he went to Naples at the invitation of the Angevin family in the early 14th century, and that he lived a long life. His style is based on the Romanesque and Byzantine painting techniques that were rooted in Rome at the time, but he also has fresh creative elements that seem to have been learned from ancient or early Christian art. His figures are drawn with a sense of volume and humanity. His representative works include the mosaic "Life of the Virgin" (1291) that decorates the apse of the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere in Rome, and the fresco "The Last Judgment" (c. 1293) in the Basilica of Santa Cecilia.

Japanese:

イタリアの画家。13世紀後半から14世紀初頭にかけてローマで活躍した画家たち(ローマ派)の筆頭に数えられる。ローマ市に資産を有していたチェッローニ家の出身で、3点の史料しか残っていないため、その生涯に関する詳細は不明だが、主としてローマで活躍したこと、14世紀初頭にアンジュー家の招きでナポリに赴いたこと、長命であったことなどが知られている。彼の作風は、当時ローマに根づいていたロマネスク様式とビザンティンの絵画手法を基盤とするが、古代ないしは初期キリスト教美術に学んだと思われる新鮮な造形要素が認められる。人物は量感をもってしっかりと描かれ、人間性を備えている。代表作に、ローマのサンタ・マリア・イン・トラステベレ聖堂の後陣を飾るモザイク『聖母の生涯』(1291)や、サンタ・チェチリア聖堂のフレスコ画『最後の審判』(1293ころ)がある。
