Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notable Pictures in Florence The same desire kindled the minds of the unknown sculptor of the Demeter, now in the British Museum, and Perugino, the painter of the fresco in the chapter-house Of Santa Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi in Florence. They both wished to convey the feeling of the unlimited powers of nature: the Greek artist materialised the spirit of the universe, embodying it in a human form; the Italian spiritualised the material aspect of things by Spreading, as it were, a veil of spirituality over the Visible forms of trees and land and sky.

Download or read book The Art of Florence an Interpretation Classic Reprint written by H. H. Powers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Florence an Interpretation Our field thus defined, it remains for us to conceive clearly what we propose to do in it. The interpretation of art must be carefully distinguished from the interpretation or explana tion of painting, sculpture, and so forth, the special forms of' art. The latter would imply much discussion of processes, mediums, materials, and so forth. To some extent these inquiries are inevitable, for it not infrequently happens that the materials or the processes employed in art have much to do with the choice of themes and the manner of their treat ment. This is conspicuously true of the mosaics, where the building of pictures with little cubes of marble or other material Was so unlike painting, making some things so much easier and other things so much harder, that the ideals of art inevitably underwent serious modification in consequence. We Shall not understand the mosaics or get into sympathy with them, unless we see that their disparagement of per sonality and intellectual suggestion and their emphasis upon splendor and interpretive decoration was largely due to the materials of which they were made and the process which the artist was compelled to employ. It is folly to attempt to make a picture with mosaic or a statue with paint. When we see art developing preferences in subject and manner on account of the materials or the processes in use, we can understand that development only by taking account of these processes and materials. So much we shall try to do, and only so much, and this too in an utterly untechnical manner. Into the maze of studio jargon and studio procedure we shall not try to penetrate. Not only is this a process of enormous difficulty for the layman, itkis distinctly prejudicial to his enjoyment of art. The studio bears the same relation to art that the kitchen does to the banquet. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, not in the cooking. It is not through the kitchen that the guests are taken to the feast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Florence, Vol. 2 of 2 The love of art gradually became more general, and each citizen was anxious to have in his house likenesses of himself, of his ancestors, and of his gods, and as the native painters and sculptors were neither numerous enough nor clever enough, artists from Greece found ample employment. In course of time wealthy amateurs gave an additional stimulus to art by their liberal purchases of pictures, statues, and stone engravings; and as the demand creates the supply, there also came into existence plenty of clever forgers who imitated the names of successful artists on the pedestal of a statue or in the corner of a fresco.

Download or read book The Story of Florence Classic Reprint written by Edmund Garratt Gardner and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Florence The present volume is intended to supply a popular history of the Florentine Republic, in such a form that it can also be used as a guide-book. It has been my endeavour, while keeping within the necessary limits of this series of Me val Towns to point out briefly the most salient features in the story of Florence, to tell again the tale of those of her streets and buildings, and indicate those of her artistic treasures, which are either most intimately connected with that story or most beautiful in themselves. Those who know best what an intensely fascinating and many-sided history that of Florence has been, who hare studied most closely the work and characters of those strange and wonderful personalities who have lived within (and, the case of the greatest, died without) her walls, will best appreciate my difficulty in compressing even a portion of all this wealth and profusion into the narrow bounds enjoined by the aim and scope of this book. Much has necessarily been curtailed over which it would have been tempting to linger, much inevitably omitted which the historian could not have passed over, nor the compiler of a guide-book failed to mention. In what I have selected for treatment and what omitted, I have usually let myself be guided by the remembrance of my own needs when I first commenced to visit Florence and to study her arts and history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Painting in Italy, Vol. 1 of 6: Umbria Florence and Siena From the Second to the Six-Teenth Century It is unnecessary to make any apology for this second edition of the History of Painting in Italy. Notwithstanding all that has been done in the last forty years, by archivists on the one hand, and by connoisseurs on the other, with the object of elucidating the history of the central Italian schools, this book still remains the standard authority upon the subject. Of genuine additions to knowledge, of scientifically verifiable facts accepted as such by all serious and intelligent students, how little has been added to that particular fabric of human learning which owed so much to Crowe and Cavalcaselle! Much that passed for knowledge a decade ago has been proved to be unfounded theory: and, were it not unwise to prophesy, we would venture to predict that, in the coming decade, the field of art criticism will be strewn with the wreckage of many other pretentious but cheaply-built structures.
