Book excerpt: Alessandro Filipepi, most commonly known as Botticelli, was born in Florence in 1444/5. For much of his life, he was closely allied to the house of the Medici, in whose sphere Botticelli's most important paintings were created, and whose patronage helped to establish him as a painter of considerable wealth and prestige. Botticelli presents the works of Sandro Botticelli, within the context of his life and the society in which he lived. The artist's early development is examined, and the two main influences on his work, the House of Medici and the friar Savonarola, and how these influences manifested themselves in his paintings.

Download or read book Botticelli Past and Present written by Ana Debenedetti and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent exhibitions dedicated to Botticelli around the world show, more than ever, the significant and continued debate about the artist. Botticelli Past and Present engages with this debate. The book comprises four thematic parts, spanning four centuries of Botticelli’s artistic fame and reception from the fifteenth century. Each part comprises a number of essays and includes a short introduction which positions them within the wider scholarly literature on Botticelli. The parts are organised chronologically beginning with discussion of the artist and his working practice in his own time, moving onto the progressive rediscovery of his work from the late eighteenth to the turn of the twentieth century, through to his enduring impact on contemporary art and design. Expertly written by researchers and eminent art historians and richly illustrated throughout, the broad range of essays in this book make a valuable contribution to Botticelli studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, better known as Sandro Botticelli ( 1445 – 1510), was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. He belonged to the Florentine school under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, a movement that Giorgio Vasari would characterize less than a hundred years later as a "golden age", a thought, suitably enough, he expressed at the head of his Vita of Botticelli. Botticelli's posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century; since then his work has been seen to represent the linear grace of Early Renaissance painting. Among his best known works are The Birth of Venus and Primavera. In 1481, Pope Sixtus IV summoned Botticelli and other prominent Florentine and Umbrian artists to fresco the walls of the Sistine Chapel. The iconological program was the supremacy of the Papacy. Sandro's contribution included the Temptations of Christ, the Punishment of the Rebels and Trial of Moses. He returned to Florence, and "being of a sophistical turn of mind, he there wrote a commentary on a portion of Dante and illustrated the Inferno which he printed, spending much time over it, and this abstention from work led to serious disorders in his living." Thus Vasari characterized the first printed Dante (1481) with Botticelli's decorations; he could not imagine that the new art of printing might occupy an artist. The masterpieces Primavera (c. 1482) and The Birth of Venus (c. 1485) were both seen by Vasari at the villa of Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici at Castello in the mid-16th century, and until recently, it was assumed that both works were painted specifically for the villa. Recent scholarship suggests otherwise: the Primavera was painted for Lorenzo's townhouse in Florence, and The Birth of Venus was commissioned by someone else for a different site. By 1499, both had been installed at Castello. In these works, the influence of Gothic realism is tempered by Botticelli's study of the antique. But if the painterly means may be understood, the subjects themselves remain fascinating for their ambiguity. The complex meanings of these paintings continue to receive widespread scholarly attention, mainly focusing on the poetry and philosophy of humanists who were the artist's contemporaries. The works do not illustrate particular texts; rather, each relies upon several texts for its significance. Of their beauty, characterized by Vasari as exemplifying "grace" and by John Ruskin as possessing linear rhythm, there can be no doubt. In the mid-1480s, Botticelli worked on a major fresco cycle with Perugino, Domenico Ghirlandaio and Filippino Lippi, for Lorenzo the Magnificent's villa near Volterra; in addition he painted many frescoes in Florentine churches. In 1491 he served on a committee to decide upon a façade for the Cathedral of Florence.

Book excerpt: Sandro Botticelli (Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi) (Florence, 1445 – 1510) Botticelli était le fils d'un citoyen jouissant d'une situation confortable, et avait été «instruit dans toutes les choses que les enfants doivent habituellement savoir avant de choisir une vocation ». Mais il refusa de consacrer son attention à la lecture, l'écriture et le calcul, poursuit Vasari, de sorte que son père, désespérant de le voir un jour à l'école, le plaça en apprentissage auprès de l'orfèvre Botticello, d'où le nom qui est passé à la postérité. Mais Sandro, jeune garçon à l'air entêté, doté de grands yeux calmes et scrutateurs et d'une tignasse blonde – il s'est représenté lui-même sur le côté gauche de L'Adoration des Mages – voulait bien devenir peintre, et il fut donc placé auprès du moine carmélite Fra Filippo Lippi. Comme de nombreux artistes de son temps, satisfait de la joie que lui procurait la peinture, il se tourna vers l'étude de la beauté et du caractère de l'homme, plutôt que vers les thèmes religieux. Ainsi, Sandro fit des progrès rapides, aimant son professeur et, plus tard, le fils de celui-ci, Filippino Lippi, auquel il apprit à peindre. Mais le réalisme du maître le toucha à peine, car Sandro était un rêveur et un poète. Botticelli n'est pas un peintre de faits, mais d'idées ; ses tableaux ne sont pas tant des représentations d'objets que des agencements de motifs et de formes. Ses couleurs ne sont pas riches et proches de la vie, mais subordonnées à la forme, et elles sont souvent des nuances plus que de vraies couleurs. En réalité, il s'intéresse aux possibilités abstraites de son art, et ses personnages n'occupent pas de place bien définie dans l'espace : ils n'attirent pas notre oeil par leur volume, mais suggèrent plutôt un motif ornemental plat. De même, les lignes qui entourent les personnages sont choisies pour leur fonction première, décorative. On a dit que Botticelli, «bien qu'étant un piètre anatomiste, était l'un des plus grands dessinateurs de la Renaissance ». Comme exemple d'anatomie erronée, nous pouvons citer la manière improbable dont la tête de la Madone est reliée à son cou, ou encore toutes les articulations approximatives et les membres difformes que l'on trouve dans les tableaux de Botticelli. Pourtant, son talent de dessinateur fut reconnu, car il donna à la «ligne » non seulement une beauté intrinsèque, mais également un sens. Autrement dit, en langage mathématique, il réduisit le mouvement de la figure à la somme de ses facteurs élémentaires, à ses plus simples formes d'expression. Il combina ensuite ces diverses formes en une figure qui, à travers ses lignes rythmiques et harmoniques, projette sur notre imagination les sentiments poétiques qui animaient l'artiste lui-même. Ce pouvoir de faire compter chaque ligne, à la fois par son sens et par sa beauté, distingue les grands maîtres du dessin de la grande majorité des artistes, utilisant la ligne avant tout comme un outil nécessaire à la représentation des objets concrets.
