Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oscillating between the majesty of the Greco-Byzantine tradition and the modernity predicted by Giotto, Early Italian Painting addresses the first important aesthetic movement that would lead to the Renaissance, the Italian Primitives. Trying new mediums and techniques, these revolutionary artists no longer painted frescos on walls, but created the first mobile paintings on wooden panels. The faces of the figures were painted to shock the spectator in order to emphasise the divinity of the character being represented. The bright gold leafed backgrounds were used to highlight the godliness of the subject. The elegance of both line and colour were combined to reinforce specific symbolic choices. Ultimately the Early Italian artists wished to make the invisible visible. In this magnificent book, the authors emphasise the importance that the rivalry between the Sienese and Florentine schools played in the evolution of art history. The reader will discover how the sacred began to take a more human form through these forgotten masterworks, opening a discrete but definitive door through the use of anthropomorphism, a technique that would be cherished by the Renaissance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Early Italian Painters: And of the Progress of Painting in Italy To Cimabue for three centuries had been awarded the lofty title of Father of Modern Painting and to him, on the authority of Vasari, had been ascribed the merit, or rather the miracle, of having revived the art of painting when utterly lost, dead and buried of having by his single genius brought light out of darkness, form and beauty out of chaos. The error or gross exaggeration of Vasari in making these claims for his countryman has been pointed out by later authors. Some have even denied to Cimabue any share Whatever in the regeneration of art; and, at all events, it seems clear that his claims have been much over-stated; that, so far from painting being a lost art in the thirteenth century, and the race of artists annihilated, as Va' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Early Italian Painters: And of the Progress of Painting in Italy The "Memoirs of the Early Italian Painters" first appeared as a series of essays in the "Penny Magazine," where they attracted so much attention that they were collected in book form a few years later. The work has ever since been a favorite hand-book on the subjects treated, and has even been translated into French for the benefit of continental readers (Paris, 1862). So great was its popularity in Mrs. Jameson's lifetime that she was obliged to republish it in a revised and enlarged edition, fourteen years after its first issue. The form she then gave it has till now remained unchanged except in a few trifling matters. The reader will naturally expect to find the present edition differing in many ways from that completed in 1859. Vasari was then the accepted authority on the history of Italian art, and it is now well known that his "Lives" are full of inaccuracies and blunders. Not only are many of his biographical details disproved by documentary evidence, but even the authorship of the paintings he enumerated is in many cases disputed by modern criticism. The patient investigations of expert critics have replaced the careless guesses of earlier writers. In order, therefore, to make the Early Italian Painters a more reliable hand-book it has been necessary to correct the text in accordance with accepted modern authorities. On the other hand great pains have been taken to preserve all that gives unique character and value to the work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hand-painted illumination enlivened the burgeoning culture of the book in the Italian Renaissance, spanning the momentous shift from manuscript production to print. J. J. G. Alexander describes key illuminated manuscripts and printed books from the period and explores the social and material worlds in which they were produced. Renaissance humanism encouraged wealthy members of the laity to join the clergy as readers and book collectors. Illuminators responded to patrons' developing interest in classical motifs, and celebrated artists such as Mantegna and Perugino occasionally worked as illuminators. Italian illuminated books found patronage across Europe, their dispersion hastened by the French invasion of Italy at the end of the 15th century.--
