Italo-Byzantine
Madonna and Child, Berlinghiero, c. 1230
- ... that Vasari disliked the "clumsy Greek style" of Italo-Byzantine painting (example pictured) that preceded the Renaissance? Omissi, Adrastos, "Byzantium and Italian Renaissance Art": "Giorgio Vasari, the Italian painter turned historian, whose 1550 Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, from Cimabue to Our Times essentially defined the renaissance – the rinascita – as a rejection of ‘that clumsy Greek style’ (quella greca goffa maniera) and the creation of a new naturalism that captured the human form in ways not known before"; see also Voulgaropoulou, Margarita, "From Domestic Devotions to the Church Altar: Venerating Icons in the Late Medieval and Early Modern Adriatic", in Ryan, Salvador (ed), Domestic Devotions in Medieval and Early Modern Europe, 2020, MDPI Books, (reprint from Religions in 2019), online top of p. 203.

- Article: Created on February 28.
The prose is more than long enough, and the article well sourced. I don't see policy issues. - Hook: Long enough, the content is properly sourced and interesting (I did learn something new and more than relevant out of reading it myself!).
- Other: QPQ checks. License for the image obviously checks (we are discussing a painting of the 1200s here)
