They are relatives, but not me. And to you, that name does not like, or think that an artist must necessarily add a second name to the first widespread?

The Sicilian school of Italian mosaic art XII century occupies a special place in the development of Roman mosaic art. One of the most interesting works of mosaic art in Italy is a mosaic of the cathedral in Cefalù, made by a group of local Byzantine and Italian artists. Byzantine mosaic tiles belong to the upper register of the choir, and all the other mosaics, as evidenced by their Latin inscriptions, written by local artists, mosaic in the years 1150-1165.

While artists mosaic belonging to the Sicilian school of mosaic art, were under the strong influence of Byzantine mosaic art, but in their manner clearly felt the desire for complete dissolution of the Byzantine painting techniques in a typical Sicilian mosaicists realistic Romanesque forms. If you have little noticeable in the mosaics of Santa Maria del Ammiralo (Martorana) in 1143, a slightly dry, linear style, but had a very beautiful and embodies the warm tones of color range and rare in its preservation of an ensemble of mosaics Palatine Chapel, which also dominates dry, abstract line, already in the mosaics of the nave of the same chapel, performed by another group of artists, clearly planned departure from Byzantine prototypes: a person becomes more spiritual, movement - a free, clothing falls onto the figures more naturally, so that beneath them a sense of form body. The process of developing the style typical of the Sicilian school of mosaic art, finds its fullest expression in the mosaics of the cathedral in Montreal (1174-1189 gg.), In which the mosaic compositions are deployed on a plane solid wall carpet, while the Byzantine mosaics, we have seen quite different - they each composition is a strictly closed unit. In Montreal mosaics motion passed more natural and relaxed, the person figures show emotion and experience, the type of person acquires Romance features. Apparel Saints break into small thin folds, help identify well-rounded body shape. Architectural landscapes are taking very real form, and compositional construction of their start running with the observance of elementary rules of perspective. All these are typical of the Sicilian school of mosaic art features are manifested in varying degrees in the mosaics of the Cathedral of Palermo (end of XII century.), In the chapel of Palermo Cathedral (XII century). In the palace Zisa (1154-1166 gg.), In Conference Roger in the royal palace in Palermo. Mosaics of the latter represent a rare example of secular mosaic art. Masters of the Sicilian school of mosaic art XIII-XIV centuries, undertaking a series of mosaics in the church of the monastery of San Gregorio at Messina (XIII cent.), In the Cathedral of Messina (1337-1342 gg.) And in the central ship Palatine Chapel (1345). Perfectly executed mosaics of San Gregorio speak clearly about the process. The rise of realistic features in the mosaic art of Sicilian artists, particularly manifested in the careful modeling of the saints, to emphasize the space and in a freer interpretation of the folds of clothing. The ongoing process of gradual dissolution of the Byzantine era forms Comneni in realistic forms of Romanesque art trochento finds expression in the mosaics of the lateral apses of the cathedral in Messina (the middle of XIV century.). National Italian features are predominant in the future in the mosaic art of Sicilian artists.
