CAVALLINI, Pietro
(b. ca. 1250, Roma, d. 1330, Roma)

Last Judgment (detail)

c. 1300
Fresco
Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, Rome

Cavallini expended particular care on the modeling of the faces and hair; despite all the variations in detail, there is a specific typology in the physiognomies and hairstyles. In some of the heads the wrinkles on the foreheads and in the corners of the eyes are distinctly marked; the mouths are sometimes slightly open; the eyes are mobile; and the ears are frequently exposed.
