Download or read book Titian s Venus of Urbino written by Rona Goffen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-02-28 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguably the quintessential work of the High Renaissance in Venice, Titian's Venus of Urbino also represents one of the major themes of western art: the female nude. But how did Titian intend this work to be received? Is she Venus, as the popular title - a modern invention - implies; or is she merely a courtesan? This book tackles this and other questions in six essays by European and American art historians. Examining the work within the context of Renaissance art theory, as well as the psychology and society of sixteenth-century Italy, and even in relation to Manet's nineteenth-century 'translation' of the work, their observations begin and end with the painting itself, and with appreciation of Titian's great achievement in creating this archetypal image of feminine beauty.

Book excerpt: Why You Will Like This Guidebook: ** It's selective rather than inclusive. It highlights three dozen paintings out of the hundreds. It offers a "guided tour" instead of a card catalogue approach.** It takes advantage of the Uffizi's layout, which displays the paintings chronologically, to give you a sense of the profound shifts in religious worldview from the 14th to the 16th centuries. ** It invites you to look thoughtfully at certain paintings, to notice where your attention goes, and to explore your own responses as a vehicle for understanding and deepening your engagement with the art. "The Uffizi Gallery" will serve as a ready companion for your armchair travels as well as a hands-on guidebook for your on-site visits when you're in Tuscany. Based on my years of guiding travelers through the Uffizi, I've developed a keen sense of what engages people, and what bores them to death. I've chosen paintings that first caught my interest more than twenty years ago-and never lost it. Read this guide before your visit, take it with you when you go, and read it again whenever you want to relive your Renaissance art adventures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This boxed set features two books showcasing two of the world's most beautiful, prestigious museums: the Pitti Palace and the Uffizi Gallery. Situated across the Arno River from Florence's busy city center, the 15th-century Palazzo Pitti is one of the city's crown jewels and contains the palace's splendid collections ranging from early masters like Giotto and Duccio to contemporary Italian artists. Aside from the palace's major paintings in the Palatine Gallery, its sculptures, decorative objects, and the magnificent Boboli Gardens are beautifully photographed. The lively text weaves a web of intrigue, romance, and power as the story of the Medici family's creation of this world-class collection and the magnificent palace that houses it unfolds. Florence's Uffizi Gallery, on which construction began in 1560, houses such masterpieces as Botticelli's The Birth of Venus, as well as works by Bronzino, Caravaggio, Titian, and Rubens. Connected to the Pitti Palace by a corridor designed by Vasari that crosses the Arno River, the Uffizi Gallery is a one-of-a-kind museum. This gorgeous oversize book showcases the extraordinary collection, and Alexandra Bonfante-Warren provides fascinating context by relating the story of the museum's construction and complex history.
