Ambrogio Traversari: artistic adviser in early fifteenth-century Florence?
Creator
Description
The article tends to diminish the importance usually given to Traversari as a patron of the arts, while recognizing his affinity with the literature world. As a consequence, Krautheimer’s theory -that Traversari was the one behind the Gates of Paradise iconography- is rejected; just like the one that suggests that Traversari was the one that chose Ghiberti for SS. Nemesio, Protus and Hyacinth’s shrine.
