Book excerpt: Questa raccolta di scritti di storia dell'arte, promossa dalla Direzione Generale per il Patrimonio Storico Artistico e Demoetnoantropologico del Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali, vuole essere un omaggio a un grande e appassionato storico dell'arte, Maurizio Fagiolo Dell'Arco. In considerazione dei suoi specifici interessi sull'arte barocca, cui Maurizio ha dedicato gran parte della sua attività di studioso, numerosi colleghi e amici, italiani e stranieri, hanno voluto ricordarlo con contributi sul barocco romano. Così i saggi spaziano da Caravaggio, con interventi di Marini e Curzietti, alla scuola bolognese, con testi di Montanari, Carloni, Guarino, Loire, Schleier, all'amatissimo Giovan Lorenzo Bernini, con saggi di Lavin e di Del Pesco; e ancora saggi su Cortona e cortoneschi, oggetto di uno dei suoi ultimi libri (saggi di Lo Bianco e Fisher Pace), su Pierre Lemaire, (Brejon de Lavergnée), sul Gaulli, di cui Maurizio Fagiolo ha curato una magnifica mostra ad Ariccia (Debenedetti, Graf, Vodret). Altri contributi hanno affrontato temi sull'architettura (Marconi), sulla scultura (Cipriani, Pampalone), sull'arte decorativa e sugli apparati effimeri (González Palacios, Bilancia, Marcello Fagiolo, Franchi). A questi si aggiungono gli studi di Röttgen, Tiberia, Corradini, Rosenberg, Pantanella, Griseri, Guerrieri Borsoi, Sestieri, Petrucci, Negro, Prosperi Valenti Rodinò, Bernardini, Spinosa, Barbiellini Amidei, Boccardo, Barbera, Herrmann Fiore, Morello. Il volume, ricco di nuovi dati documentari, di nuove riflessioni critiche sull'arte seicentesca a Roma, di spunti per ulteriori indagini, costituisce uno strumento importantissimo di lavoro, proprio in sintonia con il pensiero di Maurizio Fagiolo Dell'Arco, sempre disponibile a confronti e consigli, che nel lontano 1967 aveva scritto (insieme con il fratello Marcello) il primo e l'unico catalogo dell'opera di Giovan Lorenzo Bernini, strumento ancora oggi validissimo e imprescindibile per chi voglia avvicinarsi allo studio del "regista del barocco".

Download or read book Painting in Stone written by Fabio Barry and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping history of premodern architecture told through the material of stone Spanning almost five millennia, Painting in Stone tells a new history of premodern architecture through the material of precious stone. Lavishly illustrated examples include the synthetic gems used to simulate Sumerian and Egyptian heavens; the marble temples and mansions of Greece and Rome; the painted palaces and polychrome marble chapels of early modern Italy; and the multimedia revival in 19th-century England. Poetry, the lens for understanding costly marbles as an artistic medium, summoned a spectrum of imaginative associations and responses, from princes and patriarchs to the populace. Three salient themes sustained this “lithic imagination”: marbles as images of their own elemental substance according to premodern concepts of matter and geology; the perceived indwelling of astral light in earthly stones; and the enduring belief that colored marbles exhibited a form of natural—or divine—painting, thanks to their vivacious veining, rainbow palette, and chance images.

Download or read book Raffaello Borghini s Il Riposo written by Raffaello Borghini and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raffaello Borghini's Il Riposo (1584) is the most widely known Florentine document on the subject of the Counter-Reformation content of religious paintings. Despite its reputation as an art-historical text, this is the first English-language translation of Il Riposo to be published. A distillation of the art gossip that was a feature of the Medici Grand Ducal court, Borghini's treatise puts forth simple criteria for judging the quality of a work of art. Published sixteen years after the second edition of Giorgio Vasari's Vite, the text that set the standard for art-historical writing during the period, Il Riposo focuses on important issues that Vasari avoided, ignored, or was oblivious to. Picking up where Vasari left off, Borghini deals with artists who came after Michaelangelo and provides more comprehensive descriptions of artists who Vasari only touched upon such as Tintoretto, Veronese, Barocci, and the artists of Francesco I's Studiolo. This text is also invaluable as a description of the mid-sixteenth century reaction against the style of the 'maniera,' which stressed the representation of self-consciously convoluted figures in complicated works of art. The first art treatise specifically directed toward non-practitioners, Il Riposo gives unique insight into the early stages of art history as a discipline, late Renaissance art and theory, and the Counter-Reformation in Italy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jacopo Bassano e lo stupendo inganno dell'occhio" è l'evento che segna l'avvio del triennio celebrativo per i 500 anni della nascita di Jacopo Bassano (1510? - 1592). Allestita nel Museo Civico che ospita in esposizione permanente 21 opere del pittore veneto, la mostra presenta un disegno e 15 dipinti, molti dei quali mai visti in Italia e alcuni inediti, provenienti da collezioni pubbliche e private internazionali. Il percorso espositivo prende avvio da un'inedita e giovanile Adorazione dei Magi, recentemente rinvenuta a Roma, per arrivare alle opere della maturità. Il cammino artistico - iniziato all'insegna del naturalismo, poi superato in nome di un manierismo esasperato - porterà il pittore ad acquisire un linguaggio nuovo e personale. Il suo particolare uso di colore e luce è ben esemplificato nei "Due Cani", capolavoro proveniente dal Louvre e finora mai esposto in Italia. Un piccolo capitolo a parte è costituito dalla ritrattistica dell'artista che vede nel "Ritratto di cardinale" del Museo di Budapest e nel "Ritratto di senatore veneziano" dei Musei di Berlino due capolavori fondamentali per comprendere la sua assoluta qualità introspettiva.

Download or read book Pescara Tales 1902 written by Gabriele D'Annunzio and published by . This book was released on 2017-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The setting for his collection of eighteen stories by Gabriele D'Annunzio (1863-1938) was the Adriatic seaport of Pescara and its hinterland in the Italian region of Abruzzo, the author depicting events and personalities from the time of his youth, but also drawing from bygone incidents that were yet memorable in the area's folk history. Pescara may not have had the cachet of celebrated cities such as Venice or Florence, but sympathetically and wryly revealed here by the pen of one of Italy's great writers it lives and breathes with a vitality probably best compared to that of James Joyce's 'dear dirty Dublin'. Indeed Joyce, who admired D'Annunzio, may well have been inspired by the Italian's cameos of small-town life, his parade of saints, voluptuaries and reprobates, their repressions, obsessions, individual dissolutions, collective explosions of anarchy, and their aptness for bizarre behavior that extended from the catatonic to the manic. D'Annunzio came to recognize just how exotic his native region was after he had left it for Rome, where he worked for some years as a journalist and essay writer in the employ of various literary magazines. His Abruzzo articles, and especially those in which he records examples of extraordinary devotional behavior (akin to what Mark Twain was witnessing at that time on the banks of the Ganges), became the basis of the stories in this collection. D'Annunzio was a published poet at the age of sixteen, and his verse has never been absent from the Western Canon since. Something of his painterly style, the layered brushwork of his descriptions, the gorgeous romantic renderings of rural scenes and the moods of the sea, his celebrations of sensuality, his aesthete's fascination with all the possible bodily conditions, from the virginal-voluptuous to the decayed and moribund (he has been hailed as 'the body's poet'), will amaze and delight the reader even in the blandest and most dictionary-dependent translation. The present one is no such, however. Vladislav Zhukov is an experienced translator who has rendered works from four languages into English, including a substantial book of poetry, three volumes of short stories, and a novel (all available on Amazon.com). His knowledge of Italian is that of someone who acquired the language while living in Italy during his youth.
