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: Excerpt from The Midsummer of Italian Art IN the first edition of Midsummer I stated that my Object was to provide a comprehensive account of the greatest Italian painters, which might serve both as a book Of reference for American travellers in Europe, and to revive the recollections Of what they had seen after their return. In revising my book I have consid ered the request Of my friends and critics for a more thorough and complete analysis of the works of Raphael and Michel Angelo, as the two artists in whom the pub lic takes the liveliest interest. I have also amended the account Of Leonardo da Vinci so as to introduce a state ment of every picture which can be ascribed to him on reasonable grounds. Certain additions have also been made to the account of Correggio, but the similarity of his designs makes a complete list of his paintings of less importance than the others. In order to make the book as perfect as possible, I have compared my previous statements with those of the most distinguished writers on the subject, and where I became satisfied that I was formerly in error I have made such changes as were necessary, giving credit to the proper authority in a foot-note. This applies, how ever, chiefly to the account of Raphael, and in a less degree to Leonardo and Correggio. There is no thor ough-going criticism of Michel Angelo's works that I can hear of, in any language, and my own statement would seem to be the first attempt in that direction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Artist of the Italian Renaissance: Translated From the Chroniclers Some explanation is perhaps necessary of the plan and method of this book. My subject is the Italian artists as theylwere affected by the political history of their land, sometimes them selves taking part actively. In the stirring events of the time, and sometimes swept away and their works submerged by the torrent of disaster. The rise of art in Italy has always been connected with the rise of the cities in riches and prosperity, and the eager impetuosity which displayed itself in their fierce rivalry was as manifest in the con tests of art as in war.

Download or read book Early Italian Painting written by Joseph Archer Crowe and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 200 pages. 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 Stories of the Italian Artists From Vasari His treatment of Raphael has been attributed to prejudice, and indeed he was such a devoted disciple of Michael Angelo, and so vain of his intimacy with the great man, that his judgment could scarcely be unbiassed. Many great names will be missed here, for Vasari's account is often confined to a bare description of the painter's works with a meagre outline of his life; and it must not be forgotten that he did not carry on his history to the later painters, such as Tintoretto and Veronese.
