Abstract
This study introduces and contextualizes the artistic patronage of Petrus de Angeriacus (d. 1313), the powerful yet controversial treasurer of the pilgrimage church of San Nicola in Bari, Italy. It begins by assessing the life and activities of the treasurer within the dramatic political, religious, and social setting of the Kingdom of Sicily during the reign of Charles II. It proceeds to evaluate Petrus’s commissions for San Nicola, four lost candlesticks described in inventories from 1326 and 1362. It then probes in detail a work intended to travel beyond San Nicola—a seal impression previously concealed within a protective sac—and reconstructs its genesis within European currents of art production. Both the seal and candlesticks are placed in conversation with Charles II’s political and artistic initiatives and contested endeavors to expand royal jurisdiction. Ultimately, the treasurer’s commissions materialize networks of authority that have not previously registered in our understanding of Bari or southern Italy around the year 1300.
本研究介绍了Petrus de Angeriacus（公元1313年）的艺术赞助，他是意大利巴里圣尼古拉朝圣教堂的强大但有争议的财务主管。它首先评估了查理二世统治期间西西里王国戏剧性的政治、宗教和社会背景下财务主管的生活和活动。它继续评估Petrus对San Nicola的委托，1326年和1362年的库存中描述了四个丢失的烛台。然后，它详细探讨了一件旨在超越圣尼古拉的作品——一个以前隐藏在保护囊中的海豹印记——并在欧洲艺术生产潮流中重建了它的起源。印章和烛台都与查理二世的政治和艺术举措以及扩大王室管辖权的有争议的努力进行了对话。最终，财务主管委员会实现了1300年左右我们对巴里或意大利南部的了解中从未登记过的权力网络。
