Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few artists have managed to imprint their personality so indelibly on posterity as Andrea Mantegna (c. 1430-1506). Before he reached the age of twenty, Mantegna was already being praised for his "alto ingegno" (exalted genius), and he became the court artist for the Gonzaga family in Mantua before he was thirty. Yet, this book argues, Mantegna was not simply a great painter. Together with Donatello, he was the defining genius of the 15th century: the measure of what an artist could be. His highly original and deeply personal vision, the descriptive richness of his pictures, and his biting, hypercritical but always exalted mind gave Mantegna's art an extraordinary edge and earned him a preeminent place in the Renaissance.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II LIFE IN MANTUA THE interest of the Marquis in the decoration of his chapel at the time of Mantegna's departure from Padua, leads to the presumption that his first employment on his arrival in Mantua was the painting of its altar-piece. This would seem, without doubt, to be the Tryptych of the Uffizi, which until the siege of Mantua, still remained in possession of the Gonzaga family. Another work may also be placed in these first years, during which the documents are silent--The Death of the Virgin, now in Madrid, with its view of the Mantuan lake crossed by the Ponte S. Giorgio. The first documentary record we have of him is a letter of December, 1463, dated from Goito, a favourite hunting castle of the Marquis, on the decoration of which he was employed. (Now, alas! so far from any vestige of his work remaining, the very building itself has vanished, and only a few ruined walls survive to show its beautiful position on the banks of the swiftlyflowing Mincio.) This letter contains a demand for his salary, unpaid for four months, the first hint at those financial difficulties which so constantly harassed his life in Mantua. Lodovico, with his luxurious tastes and his passion for building, was often short of money, a time of peace meaning a time of empty treasuries, as Mantegna many times experienced. On this occasion, however, he had not long to wait, the Marquis sending him on the same day part of the money--thirty ducats --with promise of speedy payment of the rest. From Goito he seems to have been sent to paint in the neighbouring palace of Cavriana, but there also no vestige of his work remains, and of the first six years of his life in Mantua we have no further notice. In the summer of 1466 he was sent to Florence, to...

This book was released on 2020-05-02 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important northern Italian artist of the early Renaissance, Andrea Mantegna was a student of Roman archaeology and the son-in-law of Jacopo Bellini. A pioneering master of perspective, Mantegna used pictorial devices such as extreme foreshortening, lowering the horizon to create greater monumentality and rendering his figures as more rounded and modelled, with Donatellian naturalism. His masterpieces are renowned for their minute attention to detail, rendering rocky and metallic landscapes with a fundamentally sculptural approach to painting. His paintings were highly sought after by Europe’s royal houses, while Dürer, Rubens and Rembrandt are just a few of the artists that copied and learnt from his works.

Download or read book Andrea Mantegna Paintings in Close Up written by Roger Godfrey and published by Osmora Incorporated. This book was released on 2015-01-06 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrea Mantegna (1431-1506), one of the foremost north Italian painters of the 15th century. A master of perspective and foreshortening, he made important contributions to the compositional techniques of Renaissance painting. Like other artists of the time, Mantegna experimented with perspective, e.g., by lowering the horizon in order to create a sense of greater monumentality. His flinty, metallic landscapes and somewhat stony figures give evidence of a fundamentally sculptural approach to painting. He also led a workshop that was the leading producer of prints in Venice before 1500.

Download or read book Renaissance Mannerism written by Diane Bodart and published by Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 15th to the 16th centuries, Western European culture flourished thanks in part to the astonishing achievements of such Renaissance artists as da Vinci, Donatello, Raphael, Botticelli, and Michelangelo, and Mannerist painters including El Greco, Pontormo, and Tintoretto. In Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, artists pursued ancient classical ideals of harmony and naturalism, and in architecture, forms of perfection and grandeur. Mannerists, in the early 16th century, valued exaggeration, elongated figures, unnatural lighting, and vivid (even lurid) colors, to create more tension and emotion in their work. This stunning volume follows these two key movements in art history, providing authoritative background from a top scholar, rich cultural context, and a wealth of exquisite reproductions of period paintings, sculptures, churches, and palazzos.
