AFAT 32

The author studies the little known frescoes of XIV century in Bertoli house in Aquileia. They are two religious subjects: the first (Virgin in throne with Child) is influenced by Giotto. Also the second (Imago pietatis) is present on the first floor, in a room that shows painted curtains all round the walls. In the upper part, we can find some emblems, which are not well kept nor easy to be interpreted. The front has another decoration with lozenges. We draw attention to decoration with hangings textiles, offering stylistic and iconographic comparisons with some frescoes of the Gothic period present in North East Italy, that dates about the middle of the XIV century.
