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.

Download or read book Botticelli s Primavera written by Mirella Levi D'Ancona and published by Casa Editrice Leo S. Olschki. This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we have to point to one artist who represents the Uffizi Galleries, certainly Botticelli prevails even over Michelangelo. In this way the Director of the Uffizi, Eike Schmidt, introduces the reading of this book. Quotations and gadgets derived from his works show Botticelli's popularity with general public. But above all, the great table of Primavera, icon of the imagination and undisputed symbol of the Renaissance, stands out. The book we are now presenting, however, uses the flowers and plants of the meadow on which the famous scene takes place as the key to interpreting the work and its meanings, and brings out a world of meanings and suggestions that lightly introduce us to the deepest heart of that extraordinary period that goes by the name, precisely, of Renaissance.

Download or read book The Primavera of Sandro Botticelli written by Joanne Snow-Smith and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1993 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this interdisciplinary study, Sandro Botticelli's famous Renaissance masterpiece Primavera is analyzed iconographically to demonstrate the possibility that it represents a deliberate and considered attempt on the part of the artist to set forth in artistic terms a Neoplatonic quadripartite «programme» provided by Marsilio Ficino. Beneath the surface inspirations of myth, poetry and legend represented in terms of easily recognizable gods and goddesses, there appears to be an allegorical framework on which the artistic programme was built. This innovate research of the Primavera will make a contribution not only to the field of Italian Renaissance art history, but also to the fields of comparative literature, philosopy, history and religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exhilarating cross between The Da Vinci Code and The Birth of Venus, an irrepressible young woman in 15th-century Italy must flee for her life after stumbling upon a deadly secret when she serves as a model for Botticelli... When part-time model and full-time prostitute Luciana Vetra is asked by one of her most exalted clients to pose for a painter friend, she doesn't mind serving as the model for the central figure of Flora in Sandro Botticelli's masterpiece "Primavera." But when the artist dismisses her without payment, Luciana impulsively steals an unfinished version of the painting--only to find that somone is ready to kill her to get it back. What could possibly be so valuable about the picture? As friends and clients are slaughtered around her, Luciana turns to the one man who has never desired her beauty, novice librarian Brother Guido. Fleeing Venice together, Luciana and Guido race through the nine cities of Renaissance Italy, pursued by ruthless foes who are determined to keep them from decoding the painting's secrets. Gloriously fresh and vivid, with a deliciously irreverent heroine, The Botticelli Secret is an irresistible blend of history, wit, and suspense.
