Download or read book Ancient Marbles in Naples in the Eighteenth Century written by Eloisa Dodero and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ancient Marbles in Naples in the Eighteenth Century Eloisa Dodero aims at documenting the history of numerous private collections formed in Naples during the 18th century, with particular concern for the “Neapolitan marbles” and the circumstances of their dispersal. Research has thus made it possible to formulate a synthesis of the collecting dynamics of Naples in the 18th century, to define the interest of the great European collectors, especially British, in the antiquities of the city and its territory and to draw up a catalogue which for the first time brings together the nucleus of sculptures reported in the Neapolitan collections or coming from irregular excavations, most of which shared the destiny of dispersal, in some cases here traced in definitive fashion.

Download or read book Jacopo Bassano e lo stupendo inganno dell occhio written by Jacopo Bassano and published by Mondadori Electa. This book was released on 2010 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jacopo Bassano e lo stupendo inganno dell'occhio" è l'evento che segna l'avvio del triennio celebrativo per i 500 anni della nascita di Jacopo Bassano (1510? - 1592). Allestita nel Museo Civico che ospita in esposizione permanente 21 opere del pittore veneto, la mostra presenta un disegno e 15 dipinti, molti dei quali mai visti in Italia e alcuni inediti, provenienti da collezioni pubbliche e private internazionali. Il percorso espositivo prende avvio da un'inedita e giovanile Adorazione dei Magi, recentemente rinvenuta a Roma, per arrivare alle opere della maturità. Il cammino artistico - iniziato all'insegna del naturalismo, poi superato in nome di un manierismo esasperato - porterà il pittore ad acquisire un linguaggio nuovo e personale. Il suo particolare uso di colore e luce è ben esemplificato nei "Due Cani", capolavoro proveniente dal Louvre e finora mai esposto in Italia. Un piccolo capitolo a parte è costituito dalla ritrattistica dell'artista che vede nel "Ritratto di cardinale" del Museo di Budapest e nel "Ritratto di senatore veneziano" dei Musei di Berlino due capolavori fondamentali per comprendere la sua assoluta qualità introspettiva.

Download or read book Cornici dei Medici written by Marilena Mosco and published by Mauro Pagliai Editore. This book was released on 2007 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume presenta sessantatré cornici originali, in massima parte inedite, provenienti dalla Galleria Palatina e dal Museo degli Argenti di Palazzo Pitti, dalla Galleria degli Uffizi e dalla Villa di Poggio a Caiano, tutte commissionate dai Medici a partire dal Cinquecento, in occasione dell'ingresso dei dipinti nelle varie collezioni. Erede dei motivi attinti al repertorio decorativo del manierismo, dall'Ammannati al Buontalenti, ed espressione del cosiddetto stile auricolare, la cornice barocca vede trasformarsi le volute buontalentiane in cartocci e cartigli affiancati da dettagli prevalentemente zoomorfi ispirati ai disegni di artisti come Callot e Stefano della Bella, presenti nel volume coi loro fantastici schizzi. Oltre ai nomi di artisti famosi ideatori di cornici, come il Volterrano e il Foggini, risaltano nuove attribuzioni - a Pietro da Cortona e Ciro Ferri - e nuovi nomi di intagliatori quali Antonio Mancini, Luca Boncinelli, Jacopo Sani e Carlo Galestruzzi, risultato del complesso lavoro di ricerca e di analisi svolto dall'autrice presso l'Archivio di Stato di Firenze. Il volume risulta interessante e utile non soltanto per gli "addetti ai lavori", ma anche per gli studiosi di storia del collezionismo mediceo e della museografia in Italia dal Cinquecento al Settecento.

Download or read book The Wall of the Earth written by Giorgio Caproni and published by Guernica Editions. This book was released on 1992 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The work of Giorgio Caproni has been translated into French, German, and Chinese, among others, but this collection is his first book-length English publication. His works are finely tuned to modern man's preoccupations with existence in a world deprived of certainties (for example, the existence or inexistence of God). Most are touched by experiences such as the Second World War and its atrocities, the Resistance Movement, or the death of loved ones, events that represent the conviction of a subject that will do its best to survive all adversity, uncompromised" -- from the Introduction by Pasquale Verdicchio

Download or read book Raffaello Borghini s Il Riposo written by Raffaello Borghini and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raffaello Borghini's Il Riposo (1584) is the most widely known Florentine document on the subject of the Counter-Reformation content of religious paintings. Despite its reputation as an art-historical text, this is the first English-language translation of Il Riposo to be published. A distillation of the art gossip that was a feature of the Medici Grand Ducal court, Borghini's treatise puts forth simple criteria for judging the quality of a work of art. Published sixteen years after the second edition of Giorgio Vasari's Vite, the text that set the standard for art-historical writing during the period, Il Riposo focuses on important issues that Vasari avoided, ignored, or was oblivious to. Picking up where Vasari left off, Borghini deals with artists who came after Michaelangelo and provides more comprehensive descriptions of artists who Vasari only touched upon such as Tintoretto, Veronese, Barocci, and the artists of Francesco I's Studiolo. This text is also invaluable as a description of the mid-sixteenth century reaction against the style of the 'maniera,' which stressed the representation of self-consciously convoluted figures in complicated works of art. The first art treatise specifically directed toward non-practitioners, Il Riposo gives unique insight into the early stages of art history as a discipline, late Renaissance art and theory, and the Counter-Reformation in Italy.

Download or read book The Undivine Comedy written by Teodolinda Barolini and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1992-10-30 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accepting Dante's prophetic truth claims on their own terms, Teodolinda Barolini proposes a "detheologized" reading as a global new approach to the Divine Comedy. Not aimed at excising theological concerns from Dante, this approach instead attempts to break out of the hermeneutic guidelines that Dante structured into his poem and that have resulted in theologized readings whose outcomes have been overdetermined by the poet. By detheologizing, the reader can emerge from this poet's hall of mirrors and discover the narrative techniques that enabled Dante to forge a true fiction. Foregrounding the formal exigencies that Dante masked as ideology, Barolini moves from the problems of beginning to those of closure, focusing always on the narrative journey. Her investigation--which treats such topics as the visionary and the poet, the One and the many, narrative and time--reveals some of the transgressive paths trodden by a master of mimesis, some of the ways in which Dante's poetic adventuring is indeed, according to his own lights, Ulyssean.

Download or read book Painting as Business in Early Seventeenth century Rome written by Patrizia Cavazzini and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Painting as Business in Early Seventeenth-Century Rome offers a new perspective on the world of painting in Rome at the beginning of the Baroque, from both an artistic and a socioeconomic point of view. Biased by the accounts of seventeenth-century biographers, who were often academic painters concerned about elevating the status of their profession, art historians have long believed that in Italy, and in Rome in particular, paintings were largely produced by major artists working on commission for the most important patrons of the time. Patrizia Cavazzini&’s extensive archival research reveals a substantially different situation. Cavazzini presents lively and colorful accounts of Roman artists&’ daily lives and apprenticeships and investigates the vast popular art market that served the aesthetic, devotional, and economic needs of artisans and professionals and of the laboring class. Painting as Business reconstructs the complex universe of painters, collectors, and merchants and irrevocably alters our understanding of the production, collecting, and merchandising of painting during a key period in Italian art history.
