Book excerpt: "Nestling on the banks of the Arno River, against a backdrop of hills, is the elegant city of Florence, historically a centre of art, science and political idealism since the Middle Ages. A wealth of beautiful churches, palaces and museums house collections of art without equal anywhere in the world. Sumptuous paintings by Botticelli, Raphael and Titian, exquisite fresoces by Fra Angelico and magnificent sculptures, the work of such great artists as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, are displayed to perfection in and around the buildings that are, themselves, gems of architectural design. The lofty Gothic cathedral of Santa Maria de Fiore, begun in 1296 by Arnolfo di Cambio, and its nearby Campanile, a masterpiece by Gioto, look out over the city's other stupendous monuments. In Florence stands the world famous Uffizi Gallery, a legacy of the powerful Medici family who ruled Florence for many years, and the majestic Pitti Palace, built in the middle of the 15th century, once the home of the Grand Dukes of Tuscany and now a treasure house of art. Behind the palace are the Boboli Gardens which, with their grottoes and elaborate fountains, statues and groves of cypresses, laurels and pines provide a haven for the visitor in which to think, and reflect on the wonders of this most special of cities; this city that is so far removed, in many ways, from contemporary life. The superb colour photographs in this beautifully produced book provide a lasting record of the unique beauty that is Florence."--Publisher's description.
Download or read book Renaissance Art Science Florence written by Susan B. Puett and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creativity of the human mind was brilliantly displayed during the Florentine Renaissance when artists, mathematicians, astronomers, apothecaries, architects, and others embraced the interconnectedness of their disciplines. Artists used mathematical perspective in painting and scientific techniques to create new materials; hospitals used art to invigorate the soul; apothecaries prepared and dispensed, often from the same plants, both medicinals for patients and pigments for painters; utilitarian glassware and maps became objects to be admired for their beauty; art enhanced depictions of scientific observations; and innovations in construction made buildings canvases for artistic grandeur. An exploration of these and other intersections of art and science deepens our appreciation of the magnificent contributions of the extraordinary Florentines.

Download or read book A Guide to the Paintings in the Florentine Galleries written by Maud Cruttwell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Paintings in the Florentine Galleries: The Uffizi, the Pitti the Accademia So many important changes have been made within the last few years in the three Florentine Galleries that a new Guide has become indispensable. Not only have new rooms been, added old ones closed, and the places of numerous paintings been changed, but many of the old erroneous attributions have at last been altered in conformity with modern scientific criticism and documentary evidence. New works have been acquired, and the entire collection of the Gallery of S. Maria Nuova has been added to the Uffizi and dispersed among the rest. The official catalogues sold at the entrance have, it is true, been brought up to date as regards arrangement and the new attributions, but they are otherwise mere reprints of the old. The following work is intended not only as a catalogue for use in the Galleries, but as a book of reference for the student. All the facts known concerning the pictures are given, and an alphabetical index of the painters whose works are mentioned, with the date of their birth, death, school, master, and influences, is appended. The descriptions usually given in guide-books, catalogues, and even in critical works are apt to be most wearisome and useless, by reason of too much detail.

Download or read book Verrocchio written by John K. Delaney and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive survey of the work of this most influential Florentine artist and teacher Andrea del Verrocchio (c. 1435–1488) was one of the most versatile and inventive artists of the Italian Renaissance. He created art across media, from his spectacular sculptures and paintings to his work in goldsmithing, architecture, and engineering. His expressive, confident drawings provide a key point of contact between sculpture and painting. He led a vibrant workshop where he taught young artists who later became some of the greatest painters of the period, including Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, Lorenzo di Credi, and Domenico Ghirlandaio. This beautifully illustrated book presents a comprehensive survey of Verrocchio's art, spanning his entire career and featuring some fifty sculptures, paintings, and drawings, in addition to works he created with his students. Through incisive scholarly essays, in-depth catalog entries, and breathtaking illustrations, this volume draws on the latest research in art history to show why Verrocchio was one of the most innovative and influential of all Florentine artists. Published in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC
