Book excerpt: The contribution of Italy to western culture has been immense: it is difficult to imagine a world without the achievements of ancient Rome, Byzantine Ravenna, Renaissance Florence, and Venice, or St. Peter's and the Vatican. All these are familiar to students, art lovers, and tourists alike, but few visitors to Italy realize that there lies before even ancient Rome another Italy. The reasons for the relative neglect of early Italy are not hard to fine. Ancient Greece and Rome have left their make on a wide range of human activity primarily through their literature. The early Italian cultures, however-- Etruscan, Samnite, Oscan, Umbrian, and Greek-- can communicate with us only by their material possessions and creations. And yet, paradoxically, the art of these peoples communicates a vitality of startling immediacy. But there is another reason for the unfamiliarity of early Italy: much of this art is of recent discovery and has not yet entered the mainstream of our cultural consciousness. One of the greatest achievements of archaeology in this century has been to explore and define the world into which Rome was born and from which it drew so much. In the process a wealth of new material is being found, of high interest and offer great beauty. This book, written by a practicing archaeologist and based on the most up-to-date information, presents a fascinating and authoritative analysis of our present knowledge of the recently discovered world. -- Publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Handbook of Italian Sculpture Greek sculpture of the fifth century before the Christian era, and Italian marble work of tho tenth century after it, are re* selectively the extremes of what is highest and what is lowest in plastic art, for the first belongs to a period of aesthetic culture never since reached, and the last to one of artistic ignorance greater perhaps than any elsewhere met with in the history of a civilized nation. Varying between Byzantinism, which regulated all forms of art by strictly conventional rules, and Medievalism, which regarded them solely as a means of conveying doctrinal instruction through symbolic or direct representation, sculpture in Italy had dragged out a feeble existence for many centuries before the year 1000 when the end of the world was confidently expected, and had then almost ceased to be. As the dreaded moment approached, men thought only of how they could save their souls or drown their anxieties, and not until it had passed did they breathe freely enough to occupy themselves with life and its activities.

Download or read book Nicola Pisano and the Revival of Sculpture in Italy written by G. H. Crichton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicola Pisano was a much admired thirteenth-century Italian sculptor and architect, often considered to be the founder of modern sculpture. Within this 1938 text, G. H. and E. R. Crichton begin by giving a biographical background of Pisano, before looking at those early sculptors whose works may have inspired him. In the book's second part, the Crichtons write in detail about the sculptures of Pisano, describing the pulpits at Pisa and Siena as well as the Fountain at Perugia. The Crichtons also discuss those pieces often accredited to Pisano which seem unlikely to be his. Finally, they share their conclusions on Pisano's influence on Italian sculpture. These fascinating accounts of Pisano's life and works are supplemented by numerous illustrative plates. This book will appeal to scholars of art and sculpture in general, as well as of Pisano and thirteenth-century sculpture more specifically.
