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.

Download or read book Selected Writings of an Eighteenth Century Venetian Woman of Letters written by Elisabetta Caminer Turra and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elisabetta Caminer Turra (1751-96) was one of the most prominent women in eighteenth-century Italy and a central figure in the international "Republic of Letters." A journalist and publisher, Caminer participated in important debates on capital punishment, freedom of the press, and the abuse of clerical power. She also helped spread Enlightenment ideas into Italy by promoting and publishing Voltaire's latest works and translating new European plays-plays she herself directed, to great applause, on Venetian stages. Bringing together Caminer's letters, poems, and journalistic writings, nearly all published for the first time here, Selected Writings offers readers an intellectual biography of this remarkable figure as well as a glimpse into her intimate correspondence with the most prominent thinkers of her day. But more important, Selected Writings provides insight into the passion that animated Caminer's fervent reflections on the complex and shifting condition of women in her society-the same passion that pushed her to succeed in the male-dominated literary professions.
Download or read book Ave Maria written by Papa Francesco, and published by Rizzoli. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ave, Maria, piena di grazia": così comincia la preghiera che ci viene insegnata fin da bambini e che, soprattutto nelle difficoltà, riaffiora sulle labbra e nei cuori. "Dio saluta una donna, la saluta con una verità grande: 'Io ti ho fatto piena del mio amore, piena di me, e così come sarai piena di me sarai piena del mio Figlio e poi di tutti i figli della Chiesa'. Ma la grazia non finisce lì: la bellezza della Madonna è una bellezza che dà frutto, una bellezza madre." In questo nuovo libro, Papa Francesco affronta il mistero di Maria percorrendo verso per verso l'Ave Maria in un dialogo vivo e fertile con don Marco Pozza, teologo e cappellano del carcere di Padova. La Madonna "è la normalità, è una donna che qualsiasi donna di questo mondo può dire di poter imitare": "lavorava, faceva la spesa, aiutava il Figlio, aiutava il marito". Eppure, questa creatura "normale" diventa lo strumento di una nuova creazione, di un nuovo patto: "all'inizio la ri-creazione è il dialogo tra Dio e una donna sola". Ed è sulla donna e il suo ruolo che s'impernia la riflessione del Papa: "La Chiesa è donna, la Chiesa non è maschio, non è 'il' Chiesa. Noi chierici siamo maschi, ma noi non siamo la Chiesa". Nella seconda parte del volume, l'Ave Maria entra in carcere, segno e mezzo di conversione e consolazione.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il 13 Marzo, i cardinali della Chiesa Cattolica, riunitisi per la prima volta in 600 anni per eleggere il successore di un Papa ancora vivente, hanno annunciato un incredibile cambiamento. Nel promuovere il Cardinale argentino Jorge Mario Bergoglio a diventare Papa Francesco, il 266° Pontefice, i cardinali hanno eletto per la prima volta un Papa venuto dal Nuovo Mondo in via di sviluppo per prendere il timone della chiesa in un momento cruciale. È stato un cambiamento sorprendente in 2000 anni di istituzione che ha avuto larga influenza – con 1.2 miliardi di fedeli in tutto il mondo – ed enormi problemi, tra cui uno scandalo di decennali abusi sessuali che ha distrutto la fede nell’istituzione, una mancanza di preti e tendenze secolari che hanno svuotato la chiesa di membri e messo alla prova la sua autorità in un mondo votato al cambiamento. Dalla sconvolgente decisione di dimettersi di Papa Benedetto XVI alla nomina di Papa Francesco, dalle strade secondarie di Buenos Aires alla prima fila in Piazza San Pietro, i giornalisti di The Wall Street Journal hanno raccontato queste drammatiche settimane nella vita dell’istituzione più antica al mondo. Ora, con un nuovo e-book, gli inviati del Giornale presenteranno una dettagliata biografia originale e tempestiva del nuovo Papa Francesco, così come una nuova visione sulla trattativa e sul dramma che ha accompagnato la sua ascesa. Papa Francesco rappresenterà a fondo l’intera storia del cambiamento di direzione della chiesa e l’uomo incaricato di guidarla e sarà da valutare come Papa Francesco potrebbe affrontare gli anni di scandalo e le carenze mentre guida i cattolici di tutto il mondo verso una fede più profonda. The Wall Street Journal è il quotidiano più importante d’America con una tiratura totale media di circa 2.3 milioni di abbonati e 36 milioni al mondo di lettori digitali ogni mese.
