Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Giotto and Some of His Followers, Vol. 1 The incentive came to me in the following way. One day in December, 1915, I lunched with two of the professors of the Fine Arts Department at the Harvard Club in Boston. I was much im pressed by the splendid and exhaustive teaching carried on by the professors of the Department, whereas at home I was so unfortunate as to be single-handed. The only thing I could say on my own be half was that I had been lecturing on Giotto and his followers. But this was enough. My friends' enthusiasm and appreciation for any efforts in the field of the History of Art seemed at once to attach a peculiar importance to those tedious lectures; and when they heard that I had some of my notes with me, they expressed a desire that I should give some of the same lectures at Harvard. The proposal was a surprise to me, but there was something tempting about it for it afforded me an opportunity for a longer stay at the leading university in America, where the study of the History of Art had become particularly well founded. I did not perhaps at first realize my own incapacity as deeply as I ought to have. At any rate, pre liminaries were soon discussed more in detail and the very serious difficulty involved in my insufficient command of the English lan guage was disposed of when my friends promised they would find me some secretary or collaborator who would be able to answer for the linguistic side of the endeavor. It may be said at once that this promise was carried out in the most splendid way when they secured Mr. Frederic Schenck, at that time Instructor in the English De partment at Harvard, to assist me in the writing of my lectures in English.

Download or read book Giotto the Painter Volume 1 3 written by Michael Viktor Schwarz and published by Böhlau Wien. This book was released on 2023-04-17 with total page 1454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vol. 1: Life Giotto (1334) is the first European artist about whom it is possible to write following the schema of "life and work". The situation of the sources, however, is complicated: On Giotto's life, there are – on the one hand – biographical accounts from the mid-fourteenth century onwards that responded to various ideological requirements (patriotism, humanism, Renaissance ideology, cult of the artist); on the other, there is extensive documentary material from Giotto's lifetime, which seems to reflect less the biography of an artist than that of a bourgeois businessman resolutely climbing the social ladder. The present volume focuses on this second aspect of the Giotto figure's double life relating it to the form of existence of the pre-modern artist. Vol. 2: Works The paintings examined and contextualised in this volume are those secured for Giotto through early written sources. These sources also help to reconstruct the sequence of his works and artistic inventions as is plausible in the context of media culture in the decades around and after 1300: while Giotto was spiritually and intellectually formed in the sphere of the Florentine Dominicans, his artistic path began in Rome in the shadow of the Curia. The breakthrough to his own artistic concept came immediately before and during his work in Padua. In addition to prominent churchmen, ecclesiastical institutions, and the King of Naples, his clients were predominantly members of Italy's urban and financial elites. The adoption and further development of his inventions by other - especially Sienese - painters pressured him in his later years to try new approaches again. Vol. 3: Survival Giotto is considered by many to be the founder of modern painting. This thesis is discussed and modified in the present volume on an empirical basis. What emerges is that Giotto's impact cannot be reduced simply to the introduction of the study of nature. Rather, his art was involved in the development of pictorial idioms that were attuned to the skills and interests of their audiences. The new approaches in his painting contributed in particular to the possibility of examining and communicating psychological, narrative and allegorical content of great complexity outside the media of language and text, which not only changed the face of European art but certainly contributed to the intellectual opening of Western societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Giotto HE present little volume can lay no claim to be other than a general review of Giotto's life and works, the limits of its pages having rendered impossible any more detailed treatment of the subject. To many, it will doubtless appear of too critical a nature to afford either pleasure or amusement others, again, will find it lacking in the usual fund of pleasing anecdote which forms so attractive an element in much of the literature that has gathered about Giotto's name. To these admirers of the master, I must counsel a return to the pages of Vasari and his commentators. To those few, however, who look for something more than a mere literary pleasure in the study of an artist's life and work, I can but hope that this little book may prove of some slight use in awakening a deeper interest in the creations of one of the first and greatest of Italian painters. I must acknowledge my deep indebtedness to Mr. Bernhard Berenson for much invaluable assistance during. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
