Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we associate the Renaissance with painting, sculpture, and architecture—the “major” arts. Yet contemporaries often held the “minor” arts—gem-studded goldwork, richly embellished armor, splendid tapestries and embroideries, music, and ephemeral multi-media spectacles—in much higher esteem. Isabella d’Este, Marchesa of Mantua, was typical of the Italian nobility: she bequeathed to her children precious stone vases mounted in gold, engraved gems, ivories, and antique bronzes and marbles; her favorite ladies-in-waiting, by contrast, received mere paintings. Renaissance patrons and observers extolled finely wrought luxury artifacts for their exquisite craftsmanship and the symbolic capital of their components; paintings and sculptures in modest materials, although discussed by some literati, were of lesser consequence. This book endeavors to return to the mainstream material long marginalized as a result of historical and ideological biases of the intervening centuries. The author analyzes how luxury arts went from being lofty markers of ascendancy and discernment in the Renaissance to being dismissed as “decorative” or “minor” arts—extravagant trinkets of the rich unworthy of the status of Art. Then, by re-examining the objects themselves and their uses in their day, she shows how sumptuous creations constructed the world and taste of Renaissance women and men.

Book excerpt: Pise vaincue - Pise où s'étaient levés les premiers architectes et les premiers sculpteurs de l'Italie - Sienne réduite à un silence à demi volontaire et la République florentine fortement définie en face des cités rivales, le particularisme italien, encore peu caractérisé dans le chaos du moyen âge et contenu d'ailleurs par un ensemble de croyances communes et l'ascendant spirituel de la papauté, le particularisme italien s'accentue. Sur cette terre ardente, pleine de souvenirs illustres, l'esprit municipal s'oriente vers un idéal politique fait pour fortifier encore l'individualisme passionnel qui devait transformer l'Europe. La France s'épuise de l'effort qu'elle a fourni. La cathédrale tremble et fléchit sur ses supports trop frêles. Ce n'est pas sur son sol stérilisé par une guerre interminable, au coeur d'un peuple malheureux que renaîtront les éléments de son énergie rompue. Ce rôle appartiendra à la Flandre et à l'Italie.

Book excerpt: Introduction à la Première Edition 1914: - Nous avons vécu deux ou trois siècles avec le sentiment que la Renaissance italienne retrouva, pour notre consolation, la voie perdue de l'art antique, et qu'il n'y avait avant elle et hors d'elle que barbarie et confusion. Quand notre besoin de les aimer nous a fait regarder passionnément l'oeuvre laissée par les artistes qui précédèrent, aux derniers temps du moyen âge, l'essor italien, nous avons méconnu et calomnié l'Italie. Nous lui avons reproché l'action qu'elle exerça sur les peuples occidentaux, après l'épuisement momentané de leurs ressources spirituelles, devaient subir la loi commune et demander à des éléments plus neufs de féconder leur esprit. Nous sommes ainsi faits qu'il nous est très difficile de nous placer hors de l'histoire pour la considérer de loin et que nous attribuons trop volontiers une valeur définitive aux sentiments que nos désirs actuels nous dictent. Ce besoin d'absolu qui est notre souffrance et notre force et notre gloire, nous refusons de l'accorder aux hommes qui prirent, pour l'assouvir, un autre chemin que nous. Ceux qui ont invoqué l'esprit de leur propre race pour condamner l'action de l'Italie au nom des erreurs qu'elle a fait commettre à des imitateurs indignes de l'assimiler, accusent en réalité Michel Ange ou Titien d'être des hommes de leur race et de n'être pas nés au XIIIème siècle dans l'Europe du Nord. Si nous avons écouté les héros italiens, c'est parce qu'ils sont venus à l'heure où notre instinct les réclamait..........................

Download or read book Alexander the Great in Renaissance Art written by Ingrid Alexander-Skipnes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-22 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the images of Alexander the Great from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, how they came about, and why they were so popular. In contrast to the numerous studies on the historical and legendary figure of Alexander, surprisingly few studies have examined, in one volume, the visual representation of the Macedonian king in frescoes, oil paintings, engravings, manuscripts, medals, sculpture, and tapestries during the Renaissance. The book covers a broad geographical area and includes transalpine perspectives. Ingrid Alexander-Skipnes examines the role that humanists played in disseminating the stories about Alexander and explores why Alexander was so popular during the Renaissance. Alexander-Skipnes offers cultural, political, and social perspectives on the Macedonian king and shows how Renaissance artists and patrons viewed Alexander the Great. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Renaissance studies, ancient Greek history, and classics.
