Giorgio Vasari (Italy, 1511-15740
Portrait of Six Tuscan Poets, 1544
Dante, Cavalcanti,Petrarch, Boccaccio, d’Arezzo, da Pistola
The seated figure is Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), author of the Divine Comedy. Facing him is Guido Cavalcanti (about 1255-1300), acclaimed for his love sonnets. The standing figure in clerical garb is the humanist and classical scholar Francesco Petrarch (1304-74); to his right is Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-75), author of the Decameron. All four wear laurel wreaths, symbolic of literary achievement. The figures at the far left are probably Guittone d'Arezzo (1230-94) and Cino da Pistoia (1270-1336), two of the earliest writers of Italian lyric poetry. (via http://www.davidrumsey.com/)
