Riflessioni su una scena di caccia negli affreschi del Buongoverno di Ambrogio Lorenzetti

As part of Senarum Vinea Project, resorting to iconographic, historical and archival disciplines and has made it possible to document in the long term presence and extent of vineyards within and just outside the city wall. The interdisciplinary methodology used has also led to suggesting a reliable interpretation of the hunting scene with crossbows close-up portrayed in the Buongoverno by Ambrogio Lorenzetti, at the eastern wall of the Sala della Pace in the Palazzo Pubblico, Siena. The scene is regarded as a "quotation" from the Statuti del Campaio (1337) and the vertical "division" in three registers of the central part is seen as an iconographic and conceptual summa in which scholastic and pre-humanistic sources merge. © 2017 SISMEL Edizioni del Galluzzo.
