Whether one reaches it from Treviso, or from Vicenza, through pleasant ways of country life under the mellowing autumn sun, or comes down to it from the foothills of the Alps, it appears delightfully placed between the mountains and the lagoons, not far from the richly wooded hills of Asolo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art and Nature Under an Italian Sky Various motives combine to make me wish to keep something like a Journal during our present tour. It is always a peculiar pleasure to me to possess a memorial of the past, especially if that past has been marked by change of scene, or the calling forth of new feelings; but to be able thereby to recall vividly those scenes and feelings, so as to share them with those who have either experienced or can sympathize with them, makes such a record more valuable still. The painful part of leaving England and our own quiet home just now. is the consequent separation from our dear child, thankful though we are that she will be most kindly and tenderly cared for.

Download or read book Nature in Italian Art written by Emma Gurney-Salter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature in Italian Art: A Study of Landscape Backgrounds, From Giotto to Tintoretto The treatment of Nature by the Medieval and Renaissance painters of Italy has for the most part been considered as merely accessory to their figure-subjects;its distinctive merits have thus been insufficiently appreciated. The object of the present book is to show that there existed from the thirteenth century an attempt to study Nature for her own sake, tracing the development of landscape from the summary conventions of Giotto and his followers to its magnificent culmination in the Venetian School. The pictures discussed are typical examples of the various masters, attention being throughout concentrated on their landscape setting; Nature is taken to include flowers and beasts. Chronology is observed wherever possible, although a certain amount of overlapping is inevitable in passing from one School to another. The Venetians have been reserved for the later chapters, and are there treated consecutively. I have endeavoured to acknowledge ideas and attributions taken from critics of Italian painting, foremost among whom one must mention Mr. Berenson.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Italian Masters Like all revolutions, this became proscriptive - the Old Mas ters became the derision of every aspirant, and naturalism the only art. This also was excess, and is followed by reaction. Na ture will not teach art, and the exclusive pursuit of her indications can only lead to a simulacrum of art, in which the vital spirit of it can by no chance enter. Art is the expression of all the spiritual faculties of man, passion for beauty, aspiration of the imagination, the manifestation of the individual in his inmost nature. For this nature can only furnish an alphabet, types whose meaning only sympathy can unfold, and which become the language of art. The sense of the insufficiency of the so-called naturalistic art has brought those who craved the real art-influence to look back to the earlier schools, and the result has been that we have found again the springs of art and the true meaning of the desecrated word Ideal, the ivisible expression of which is the mission of art, z'. E., the individual conception of beauty taken in its largest sense, as what is most desirable and attractive in conceivable form - not to be confounded with the actual, and probably-never existing in nature. The Italian Renaissance was in no wise a re turn to nature as model, but a reawakening of the spiritual activity of the race after a torpor of ages, and which demanded the means of expression of itself. As the religious passion was dominant in that phase of Italian development, the religious motive was that which caught the inspiration; but this was incidental - the essen tial fact was that the art was not an appeal to nature but a form of poetic speech, the telling of a spiritual truth, not the rela tion of a natural phenomenon or fact. It was the poet, not the scientist, that appeared. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wanderings in Italy Among the innumerable volumes devoted to Italy none has had more appreciative recognition in France than M. Gabriel Faure's Heures d'italie. N o writer has more delicately suggested the enchantment of the Latin land and the spell it casts over the traveller, and none takes us more persuasively off the beaten track to lead' us to sanctuaries of art and beauty so little known to the ordinary tourist as Castelfranco, Pieve di Cadore and Saronno. M. Faure is an ideal guide for the educated pilgrim. He has a genuine love of Nature and a painter's eye for scenery. But he does not merely evoke the picturesque. His wide reading and artistic culture are evident on every page, and the happy allusion, the apt quotation and the romantic incident perpetually stimulate the reader. Now when we may hope once more to visit the delightful land an English version of this distinguished book, completed by notes on the term redenta, should be welcome.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Classical Tour Through Italy, Vol. 1 Asto the Style - in the first place 'some, perhaps many ex pressions, and occasionally whole sentences, may have been inad vertently repeated; a fault great without doubt, but pardonable because almost unavoidable in descriptive composition. Who, indeed, can paint like Nature, or who vary his colouring with all the tints of Italian scenery, lighted by an Italian sky? If Lucre tius has repeated at length two of the most beautiful passages in his poem*, the Author may claim indulgence, if, in describing the perpetual recurrence of similar objects, he has been betrayed into similar language.

Download or read book Brunelleschi s Egg written by Mary D. Garrard and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Garrard, one of a small handful of truly distinguished feminist art historians, presents a detailed and visually convincing account of the relationship between nature and art in all its fraught and gendered cultural meaning from antiquity on. Brunelleschi's Egg constitutes an exemplary feat of interdisciplinary study that requires no specialized theoretical baggage to follow and emulate."--Mieke Bal, author of Of What One Cannot Speak: Doris Salcedo's Political Art "Mary Garrard's discerning eye and deep knowledge of Renaissance art informs this fascinating book. She offers a sophisticated exploration of a rich artistic conversation on the relationship of nature and art, describing the central role of gender in structuring artists' complex and changing attitudes toward nature. Brunelleschi's Egg is so much more than a history of style; it maps the changing mindsets of Renaissance society in the several centuries during which scientific developments gradually seized masculine authority, relegating both art and nature to mastered femininity. This book provides new perspective on Italian Renaissance masterworks; it will be central to future discussion of Renaissance art." --Margaret R. Miles, author of A Complex Delight: The Secularization of the Breast, 1350-1750 "In this sweeping study, the magnum opus of one of feminist art history's founding mothers, Mary Garrard extends the gendered critique of art into the realms of philosophy and science, psychology and myth. Her eloquently prophetic and richly detailed synthesis chronicles western culture's increasing feminization of nature and art, and its parallel masculinization of the human mind (both male and female), as a Renaissance tragedy on an epic scale. The book is a must-read for historians of the early modern period, with a theme also of urgent contemporary concern."--James M. Saslow, author of Pictures and Passions: A History of Homosexuality and Art "A completely new and thoroughly convincing way of looking at the major monuments of the Italian Renaissance. The ideas in Brunelleschi's Egg are so compelling that it is hard to imagine a reader who would not be drawn into the analysis."--Jacqueline Marie Musacchio, author of Art, Marriage, and Family in the Italian Renaissance Palace "Garrard offers an unprecedented perspective on an amazing plethora of seminal works. Written beautifully, Brunelleschi's Egg is nothing but exemplary."--Yael Even, University of Missouri, St. Louis

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy and the Italian Islands, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Earliest Ages to the Present Time Literature, art, and topography - the themes most generally attractive - occupy more than one-third of the whole space. Nearly two-thirds are assigned to the history of the people, recounting their diversified poli tical changes, and describing the aspects successively assumed by society and national character.
