Abstract

It is only natural that the valley which begins in Southern Bavaria and leads through Tyrol to Verona, the valley in which Innsbruck, Brixen, Bolzano and Trent are situated, forms the link between South Germany and Northern Italy; apart from other circumstances this connexion is very evident in the artistic interchange. It will be noticed, however, that in this case Italy received more than she gave; the art of Stefano da Verona, for example, was much more influenced by the German manner than that of the majority of Tyrolese painters by the style of their southern colleagues.

  15. J. Weingarten, op. cit., is very contrary to this idea and is of opinion that there existed a strong Italian influence in Tyrol. It is of some interest that in 1387 a Bettinus, pictor of Verona, worked at Trent (Repert. f. Kunstwiss. XXVI, p. 22) and that Stefano too was active in Tyrol.

  46. Adjacent to this fresco there is another of identical but reversed composition. The existence of this painting, which is by another artist, of a slightly earlier date perhaps, accounts possibly for the error that C. Biermann, Verona, Leipzig, 1904. p. 102, made in supposing that Antonio and Pietro Paolo, the brothers of Bartolomeo, helped him in the execution of this fresco. There is no foundation for this hypothesis. nor is there any for the attribution to Bartolomeo of the figures of God the Father, Guglielmo da Castelbarco and Daniele Gusmano on the arch of S. Fermo Maggiore of 1314 (v. Vol. IV, p. 180) which old descriptions of Verona all the same attributed to a Bartolomeo Badile, who was a painter of another generation, and died in 1545.

  47. These are the paintings that A. Venturi, op. cit., p. 238, attributes to Vicenzo da Stefano, a painter, who, as we saw, seems to have existed only in Vasari’s imagination. Prof. Venturi ascribes to the same hand a painting of St. Thomas Aquinas in the Gallery of Verona.

Bernasconi, op. cit., Chap. II, informs us, that when Francesco II Novello di Carrara had his palace painted on the ocassion of his entry into Verona in 1404, he employed Jacopo di S. Cecilia, Silvestro della Seta, Corrado di Bonaventura di S Paolo and Giovanni S. Sebastiano, all four belonging to Verona, and Antonio Guarnerio, Domenico Paino, and Natale, three artists from Padua.
