La seta operata era seducente e di valore inestimabile, un investimento accattivante e vistoso. Sotto i raggi del sole i fili d’oro o d’argento intessuti brillavano e garantivano la piena attenzione a colui che li indossava.Un’analisi delle pale d’altare conservate nella Galleria dell‘Accademia di Firenze vuole approfondire valore ed utilizzo della seta operata e della sua importanza nella pittura trecentesca.
While serving as the director of the Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence from 2015 to 2024, Cecilie Hollberg renewed the museum through her historical expertise. She has numerous scholarly publications and was curator of major exhibitions such as the Textile and Wealth in Fourteenth-century Florence. Wool, Silk, Painting (2017) or Michelangelo: L’effigie in bronzo di Daniele da Volterra (2022). Hollberg holds a PhD in Medieval History from the University of Göttingen, Germany and started her museum career at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden in 2002. She teaches Curatorial Studies and Museology in a variety of universities. Her legal victory to protect the image of Michelangelo's David was a monumental victory for cultural heritage. For her efforts in protecting and promoting artistic heritage, she was named an Honorary Academician of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence.
