Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nel 2004 due dipinti, una piccola Madonna, supposta opera di Raffaello, ed una altrettanto piccola Madonna, supposta opera di Duccio, sono stati venduti per una somma totale di più di 100 milioni di dollari. Il primo, noto come la "Madonna dei garofani" è stato comprato dalla National Gallery di Londra e il secondo, talvolta chiamato il "Duccio Stoclet" è stato acquistato dal Metropolitan Museum di New York. Il modo in cui i lavori sono stati attribuiti ai due famosi artisti, denota chiaramente la crisi della moderna pratica attribuzionistica di fronte all'odierno, plutocrate mondo dell'arte. Le due opere infatti costituiscono una forte spesa di denaro pubblico per lavori non più grandi di un foglio di carta. Il libro dimostra dove e perché la loro attribuzione è erronea e cerca di ristabilire gli strumenti per una analisi corretta. In pratica, l'autore fornisce uno studio rigoroso e filogico dei due dipinti, dimostrando che entrambi sono falsi creati nel diciannovesimo secolo. Annotation Supplied by Informazioni Editoriali

Download or read book From Duccio s Maest to Raphael s Transfiguration written by Christa Gardner von Teuffel and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christa Gardner von Teuffel's studies of Italian altarpieces have provided fundamental insights concerning the original structure and setting of some of the canonical monuments of Italian late medieval and Renaissance painting. Studies of panel type and frame architecture are combined with an investigation of original sites. Archival discoveries at Florence and Palermo have led to a new assessment of institutional patronage and private benefaction, and illuminated the formulation of altarpiece programmes, such as Perugino's Vallombrosan Assumption and Raphael's Lo Spasimo. These essays contribute enduringly to our understanding of contractual obligation, design process and altarpiece installation, and demonstrate the nexus between ecclesiastical and lay patrons, artists and congregations. The author's pioneering examination of Carmelite patronage and subsequent investigation of the iconographical impact of Benedictine and Franciscan reform movements have prompted others to re-assess the patronage of religious Orders in the Quattrocento. The pervasive iconographical influence of the Holy Land is traced through Sansepolcro, Santa Croce in Gerusalemme at Rome and as far as the astonishing View of Sinai by El Greco.

Download or read book The Allegory of Love in the Early Renaissance written by James Calum O’Neill and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described as ‘the most beautiful book ever printed’ previous research has focused on the printing history of the Hypnerotomachia and its copious literary sources. This monograph critically engages with the narrative of the Hypnerotomachia and with Poliphilo as a character within this narrative, placing it within its European literary context. Using narratological analysis, it examines the journey of Poliphilo and the series of symbolic, allegorical, and metaphorical experiences narrated by him that are indicative of his metamorphosing interiority. It analyses the relationship between Poliphilo and his external surroundings in sequences of the narrative pertaining to thresholds; the symbolic architectural, topographical, and garden forms and spaces; and Poliphilo’s transforming interior passions including his love of antiquarianism, language, and Polia, the latter of which leads to his elegiac description of lovesickness, besides examinations of numerosophical symbolism in number, form, and proportion of the architectural descriptions and how they relate to the narrative.
