Abstract
The essay deals with Maria Accascina’s article devoted to the apse frescoes of the Basilica of SS. Trinità di Saccargia (Codrongianos, SS), with the aim of investigating its methodological aspects. The article was published in 1953 in “Bollettino d’arte”, during Accascina’s stay, as a teacher, at the University of Cagliari. It is remarkable for being the first research completely dedicated to Codrongianos pictorial cycle, besides being the only one Accascina wrote on subjects related to Sardinian art. In that article Accascina’s theoretical approach clearly emerges, especially with regard to two aspects. The first one concerns the establishment of a close connection between documentary research and iconography in a historical perspective – as such, susceptible of providing useful elements for the dating of the works. The second one relates to the attention drawn to the status of the image, as it is deduced from a «will that is representative rather than narrative» that especially the Last Supper shows. The final observations regard Accascina’s problematic adoption of the thesis on the anti-classic character of Sardinian artistic culture: a thesis which, in her view, the Saccargia frescoes, too, reveal in their stylistic rendering.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
