Siena, active 1337 -1378 · Two apostles in the golden light
Matthias and Thomas stand side by side like two voices from the same altarpiece: precious colors, measured gestures and a gold background build their silent authority.
Bartolomeo Bulgarini is documented in Siena between 1337 and 1378. His art belongs to the generation which extended the inventions of Duccio, Simone Martini and Lorenzetti while affirming a gravity specific to the middle of the 14th century. Saints Matthias and Thomas, painted around 1350 in tempera on wood with a gold background, brings together two apostles in a panel today preserved as an autonomous work. Their attributes and faces allow identification, but the composition is based above all on the agreement of the silhouettes, the richness of the fabrics and the rhythm of the hands. The two figures were probably part of a larger liturgical architecture: a polyptych distributed saints and scenes around a central image. Isolated from this set, the panel reveals even better the quality of the drawing, the finesse of the hallmarks and the way in which the gold welcomes real light. The "Bartolomeo Bulgarini" selection notably compares Saints Matthias and Thomas. Its reading favors figures.
Two saints are enough to mentally reconstruct an entire altarpiece: gold is their common space, gesture their dialogue.
