Description

"Francois reposait dans la basilique inferieure d'Assise depuis 1230. Pourquoi laissa-t-on nus les murs de cette eglise pendant vingt ans au moins et pourquoi ceux de la basilique superieure resterent-ils blancs pendant plus d'un demi-siecle ?" Cette question est le point de depart de ce livre. Francois d'Assise mourut le 3 octobre 1226 dans sa ville natale. Jamais il ne vit la grande basilique qui lui fut consacree ni le cycle de fresques qui y retrace les episodes de sa vie et son enseignement. Entrepris des 1260, cet immense chef-d'oeuvre de l'art medieval a ete realise par les plus grands peintres italiens de l'epoque: Cimabue, Giotto, et les Siennois Simone Martini et Pietro Lorenzetti. Temoignage de foi, la basilique d'Assise est le receptacle d'un tresor pictural a l'origine d'un renouvellement profond de l'art occidental a l'aube de la Renaissance. Dans ce livre monumental, somme d'une vie entiere de recherches, Chiara Frugoni analyse l'ensemble du patrimoine artistique de la basilique. Les reproductions partielles des fresques comme les agrandissements de details qui passent inapercus a l'oeil nu revelent des aspects inedits des vastes cycles picturaux d'Assise. Par son analyse minutieuse de chaque scene, Chiara Frugoni dechiffre magistralement le code iconographique et la propagande qui le sous-tend comme on reconstitue un puzzle, piece par piece. Un discours d'autant plus complexe qu'il devait, aux yeux de ses premiers spectateurs, resoudre en images les enigmes et les contradictions de l'Ordre franciscain. Fabriquee au sein de l'Ordre, la legende de Francois d'Assise n'a-t-elle pas, peu a peu, remplace l'image originelle du saint ?
