Summary: "The Pavement Masters of Siena (1369–1562)" by Robert H. Hobart Cust is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book presents a detailed examination of the intricate floor designs and the skilled artisans who created the remarkable pavement found in Siena's Duomo (Cathedral). It sheds light on the historical context and significance of the pavement, addressing the various artisans responsible for its designs and highlighting their contributions. The opening of the work establishes the premise by introducing the multifaceted nature of the Cathedral's pavement, countering the idea that the focus should solely be on the artisans themselves. Instead, it emphasizes the necessity of understanding the pavement as a central element of their legacy, offering appreciation for the artists, such as Pietro del Minella and Antonio Federighi, whose names may be less familiar to contemporary audiences. From the outset, the narrative intertwines documentation, artistic analysis, and anecdotal references to illustrate the rich tapestry of Sienese culture from the 14th to the 16th century, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of both the craftsmanship and the historical landmarks outlined in the subsequent chapters.
