Resumen de The Social Identity of Agnolo Gaddi and His Family: A Florentine "Success Story"
The article discusses the economic success of Italian painter Agnolo Gaddi and his painting family, which was firmly established in Florence, Italy. The author analyzes Florentine tax records in order to deduce the fact that the Gaddi family, including Agnolo's painter-father Taddeo and grandfather Gaddo, were economically stable. The author often references Italian artist Giorgio Vasari's biography on the family. He also cites payments received by Agnolo for various painting projects, such as his work at a Dominican convent, as evidence for prosperity. An analysis of the painting "Portrait of Gaddo, Taddeo and Agnolo Gaddi," of disputed authorship, is also provided.
