Chione Brothers - Chione siblings

Japanese: チオーネ兄弟 - チオーネきょうだい

Two Italian painter brothers active from the middle to the end of the 14th century. They were the younger brothers of the painter Orcagna (real name Andrea di Cione). The years of birth and death of both are unknown. Both were collaborators of their brother and inherited his style. Nardo di Cione's style is less rigorous than Orcagna's, but in the murals of the Strozzi Chapel in the Church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, he exhibits an elegant style that combines sweet details influenced by Maso di Banco and the Sienese school, and soft chiaroscuro that blends with the colors.

Japanese:

14世紀中葉から末に活動したイタリアの画家兄弟で，画家オルカーニャ(本名アンドレア･ディ･チオーネAndrea di Cione)の弟。ともに生没年不詳。両者とも兄の協力者であり，かつその様式を受け継いだ。ナルドNardo di Cioneは画風のうえでオルカーニャほどの厳しさに欠けるが，フィレンツェのサンタ･マリア･ノベラ教会にあるストロッツィ礼拝堂の壁画で，マーソ･ディ･バンコMaso di Bancoやシエナ派の影響を受けた甘美な肉付け法や，色彩と溶け合う柔らかい明暗法を交えた優雅な様式を展開している。
