"Judith" from the French Bible of Hainburg, 1300-1320, Illumination on parchment, Episcopal Library,Pécs, Hungary

Jan 1, 1300

This illumination depicts a medieval king in a draped bedchamber being detached from his head by a very angry woman. from the look of things, he is already dead – since his eyes are closed and he is offering no resistance. it is a rather gory scene with his wound streaming blood and the sword only halfway through his neck. but by the determination on her face, she will probably complete the task without difficulty in no time. good thing she is wearing a red dress.

Painting and Illumination in Early Renaissance Florence, 1300–1450

Jan 1, 1300

The sumptuous illuminated manuscripts of Early Renaissance Florence have traditionally been overshadowed by the better-known monumental arts of the period. The Metropolitan Museum of Art seeks to redress the imbalance by mounting an exhibition of Florentine miniatures produced between 1300 and 1450 from collections in Europe and the United States. A selective group of bound manuscripts and single leaves from disassembled books is joined with panel paintings and works in perishable media.

The Scrovegni Chapel (often called the Arena Chapel for its original proximity to the ruins of a Roman arena) is universally accepted as Giotto di Bondone's masterwork.

The painting originally decorated the altar of St. Ansanus in the Cathedral of Siena, and had been commissioned as part of a cycle of four altarpieces dedicated to the city's patrons saints (St. Ansanus, St. Sabinus of Spoleto, St. Crescentius and St. Victor) during 1330-1350.

Capital Relief Structure by Filippo Calendario

Jan 1, 1340

A notable figure in Venetian Gothic sculpture and Gothic Architecture, the artist and architect Filippo Calendario was an influential designer in 14th century Italy, although only part of one building, the Doges Palace, Venice, can be attributed to him. First errected in the 9th-century, the Palace was rebuilt many times thereafter, and it was with the design and construction of the Sala del Maggior Consiglio in 1340 that the present building really took shape.

Relief of Saint Peter Martyr and Three Donors

Jan 1, 1340

Italian Gothic sculptor of the medieval period, Giovanni di Balduccio worked in 14th century Italy. Very little is known of his life, and we only have four signed works on which to base our opinion of his sculpture. He is mainly credited for spreading the Pisano style of Gothic sculpture, initiated by Nicola Pisano (1206-78) and his son Giovanni Pisano (1250-1314). Born in Pisa, it has been suggested that di Balduccio was the son of the painter Bartolomeo di Vanni.

"The Crucifixion" by PAOLO Veneziano

Jan 1, 1349

The iconography and style of this painting show all the masterful blending of Byzantine and Gothic elements for which Paolo, the most influential Venetian artist of the fourteenth century, was renowned. It is very close in style to a Crucifixion that forms part of a polyptych in the Oratory of San Martino at Chioggia, a work executed by Veneziano in 1348 – the year the Black Death reached Venice, killing one third of the population of that city.

"Judith and Holofernes" - Anonymous

Jan 1, 1350

A whole book in the Bible is devoted to Judith, because as a woman she embodies the power of the people of Israel to defeat the enemy, though superior in numbers, by means of cunning and courage. She seeks out Holofernes in his tent, makes him drunk, then beheads him. The sight of their commander's bloodstained head on the battlements of Bethulia puts the enemy to flight.

Detail of Tomb of Charles V The Wise

Jan 1, 1364

Franco-Netherlandish sculptor, illuminator, painter and stained glass artist, Beauneveu is best known for the sculptures he created while in the service of King Charles V and John Duke of Berry. Beauneveu's style of Gothic art was naturalistic, and reflective of the Northern Gothic style and the Pucellian revival of the late 14th-century. His best known surviving work is the tombs of Charles V and his family (Abbey of St Denis).

"The Sacrifice of Isaac" by Brunelleschi

Jan 1, 1377

Brunelleschi entered a competition to design a new set of bronze doors for the Florence Baptistery. Seven competitors each produced a gilded bronze panel, depicting the Sacrifice of Isaac. Brunelleschi's entry, which, with that of Lorenzo Ghiberti, is one of only two to have survived, made reference to the Greco-Roman Boy with Thorn. Brunelleschi's panel consists of several pieces bolted to the back plate.

Dijon Altarpiece by Melchior Broederlam

Jan 1, 1394

One of the earliest Old Masters of the school of Flemish Painting, who spent much of his career as court painter to Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy (1342-1404), Broederlam also produced a number of works for his native city of Ypres. Documents indicate that he was involved in a variety of media, including oil painting and illuminated manuscripts, although only two surviving panel paintings can be confidently attributed to him.

Well of Moses by Claus Sluter

Jan 1, 1395

Claus Sluter was the foremost trecento sculptor of his day and a leading influence in the transition from International Gothic to the more naturalistic Renaissance style. In particular, he was an important proponent of northern realism and a key figure in the school of Gothic sculpture, established by Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy in capital Dijon. Sluter's figures are naturalistic and expressive, and more earthly bound than idealistic.

"Virgin and Child with Angels" by Wilton Diptych, National Gallery, London

Jan 1, 1395

This is the right panel of the Wilton Diptych (named after the house in which it was preserved), the finest work in England in the International Gothic style. Although it is a painting of extraordinary beauty and must be from the hand of an artist of the highest rank, critics disagree as to whether he was English, French or Italian.

The Nativity with the Prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel by Duccio di Buoninsegna

Jan 1, 1937

Standing on either side of this Nativity are two Hebrew prophets, whose writings—quoted on the scrolls they hold—are thought by Christians to foretell Jesus’s birth. The Gallery's Nativity joined other scenes from Jesus’s childhood (and other prophets) that unfolded along the front horizontal base of the altarpiece called the “predella” below a monumental image of the Madonna and Child in majesty, enthroned in a crowd of saints and angels. The Virgin was Siena’s patron saint.

"Madonna Enthroned with Saints and Angels" by Agnolo Gaddi

Jan 1, 1937

Gaddi unified space across this altarpiece's three panels with a single textile floor cover. Its design is typical of contemporary Italian silks, which were a creative blend of various textile traditions. Like many of the "Tartar cloths" that traveled west along the Silk Road across the Mongol Empire, the pattern is woven entirely in gold-wrapped threads. The composition of octagons containing paired griffins and birds, arranged back-to-back against a stylized tree.
