Moreover, in other pictures painted by Fra Angelico about this time we find portraits of living personages, friends, and associates of his own. What is more likely than that he M should have painted the portrait of an artistic colleague for whom he evidently had a very great admiration? If, then, this figure with a black capuchon be a portrait of Michelozzo, as I hold it is, we have here another clue to the date of the picture. According to this representation, he would appear to have been about forty-five to fifty years old when the " Deposition " was painted. As Michelozzo is believed to have been born in 1396, this would place the execution of the picture between the years 1441 and 1446; and that is just the period to which considerations of style would lead us to assign it. There is another picture1 closely allied to this in which the portrait of Michelozzo occurs, and that is the dead Christ which the artist painted for the Confraternity of the Temple,2 and which is now in the Florentine Academy. It is in every way a much inferior work to the " Deposition," and the only really charming passage in it is the landscape with its distant hills and tranquil evening sky. "t-These three pictures, then--that is, the San Marco altar-piece and the two " Depositions " of Sta. Trinita and the Confraternity of the Temple--are the principal works in tempera of Fra Angelico's third period. We now come to the consideration of the monumental task which occupied the friar for the greater part of the time of his residence at S. Marco. Fra Angelico, we are told, began to decorate the walls of the new convent before the building was quite finished; but he cannot very well have set to work there until the...
Download or read book Fra Angelico written by Georges Didi-Huberman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1995-10-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Florentine painter who took Dominican vows, Fra Angelico (1400-1455) approached his work as a largely theological project. For him, the problems of representing the unrepresentable, of portraying the divine and the spiritual, mitigated the more secular breakthroughs in imitative technique. Didi-Huberman explores Fra Angelico's solutions to these problems - his use of color to signal approaching visibility, of marble to recall Christ's tomb, of paint drippings to simulate (or stimulate) holy anointing. He shows how the painter employed emptiness, visual transformation, and displacement to give form to the mystery of faith. In the work of Fra Angelico, an alternate strain of Renaissance painting emerges to challenge rather than reinforce verisimilitude. Didi-Huberman traces this disruptive impulse through theological writings and iconographic evidence and identifies a widespread tradition in Renaissance art that ranges from Giotto's break with Byzantine image-making well into the sixteenth century. He reveals how the techniques that served this ultimately religious impulse may have anticipated the more abstract characteristics of modern art, such as color fields, paint spatterings, and the absence of color. Part of Didi-Huberman's large-scale rethinking of art theory and history, and the first of his books to appear in English translation, Fra Angelico is a fitting introduction to one of the most original and celebrated writers in the world of art history and criticism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis of hundreds of art works from the period provides insights into forgotten landscapes and hidden geographies.After the Napoleonic wars many wealthy British women and men settled along the coast in Liguria and travelled in Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta in search of warmth and health. They established English-speaking colonies of retired clerics, colonial officials, aristocrats and industrialists at places such as Alassio, Bordighera, Sanremo and Portofino. Many were keen artists.This book assesses hundreds of topographical drawings, paintings and photographs of north-west Italy produced by these British visitors and residents in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Through the identification and analysis of these works, scattered today in private and public collections in Italy and Britain, it provides insights into the way Italian landscapes were understood and appreciated. Considered in conjunction with historical photography, maps, archives and fieldwork, they deepen our knowledge of past land management traditions and recover how the contemporary landscape looked. The artists are placed in their intellectual and geographical contexts; and interconnections between British and Italian artists and between topographical art and photography are explored. Different chapters assess the main subjects depicted, including mountains, seascapes, rivers, agriculture, trees and woodland, castles, churches, villages, industries and landscapes of luxury.anagement traditions and recover how the contemporary landscape looked.
