Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mantegna; humanist, geometrist, archaeologist, of great scholastic and imaginative intelligence, dominated the whole of northern Italy by virtue of his imperious personality. Aiming at optical illusion, he mastered perspective. He trained in painting at the Padua School where Donatello and Paolo Uccello had previously attended. Even at a young age commissions for Andrea’s work flooded in, for example the frescos of the Ovetari Chapel of Padua. In a short space of time Mantegna found his niche as a modernist due to his highly original ideas and the use of perspective in his works. His marriage with Nicolosia Bellini, the sister of Giovanni, paved the way for his entree into Venice. Mantegna reached an artistic maturity with his Pala San Zeno. He remained in Mantova and became the artist for one of the most prestigious courts in Italy – the Court of Gonzaga. Classical art was born. Despite his links with Bellini and Leonardo da Vinci, Mantegna refused to adopt their innovative use of colour or leave behind his own technique of engraving.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Andrea Mantegna Just as the study of natural phenomena should lead to a knowledge of the laws of Nature, so it should be the ultimate aim of a scientific study of Art to contribute to the knowledge of the laws regulating the development of the human mind. Upon it devolves the task not only of discerning amidst the sequence of single phenomena the process of organic evolution, but also of singling out in the former that which is typical, or, in other words, that which conforms to a general law. To deal with a single artistic personality in the form of a monograph is thus hardly in accordance with the demands and purpose of scientific work, because it necessarily involves the isolation of the artist on the part of the author as well as on that of the reader, and is apt only too easily to suffer the internal connection between the individual and the general development to fade into the background. But quite apart from the question of economy and convenience of treatment, the monograph form is also justifiable, though only in the case of men of supreme genius, because in their own personal development they sum up that of entire epochs, and present in their own mental image a type of general evolution during whole periods of time. Not only do they divine and enforce with greater clearness and intensity the aims and feelings of their own time, but in their individual application and enlargement of those ideas and theories they anticipate the essential characteristics of future development, thus throwing light at once upon its starting-point and upon its goal. It is true that only the really great original geniuses occupy this position, those, namely, who, bringing to bear upon Nature a new and independent conception of the world, look at things with clearness of insight and depth of feeling, and at the sametime posses. x Energy and capacity to express them. This power of creating style is quite independent of greater or less perfection of technique, it consists solely in the vigorous express.

Download or read book The Genius of Andrea Mantegna written by Keith Christiansen and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2009 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few artists have managed to imprint their personality so indelibly on posterity as Andrea Mantegna (c. 1430-1506). Before he reached the age of twenty, Mantegna was already being praised for his "alto ingegno" (exalted genius), and he became the court artist for the Gonzaga family in Mantua before he was thirty. Yet, this book argues, Mantegna was not simply a great painter. Together with Donatello, he was the defining genius of the 15th century: the measure of what an artist could be. His highly original and deeply personal vision, the descriptive richness of his pictures, and his biting, hypercritical but always exalted mind gave Mantegna's art an extraordinary edge and earned him a preeminent place in the Renaissance.
Download or read book Medieval Illuminators and Their Methods of Work written by Jonathan James Graham Alexander and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who were the medieval illuminators? How were their hand-produced books illustrated and decorated? In this beautiful book Jonathan Alexander presents a survey of manuscript illumination throughout Europe from the fourth to the sixteenth century. He discusses the social and historical context of the illuminators' lives, considers their methods of work, and presents a series of case studies to show the range and nature of the visual sources and the ways in which they were adapted, copied, or created anew. Alexander explains that in the early period, Christian monasteries and churches were the main centers for the copying of manuscripts, and so the majority of illuminators were monks working in and for their own monasteries. From the eleventh century, lay scribes and illuminators became increasingly numerous, and by the thirteenth century, professional illuminators dominated the field. During this later period, illuminators were able to travel in search of work and to acquire new ideas, they joined guilds with scribes or with artists in the cities, and their ranks included nuns and secular women. Work was regularly collaborative, and the craft was learned through an apprenticeship system. Alexander carefully analyzes surviving manuscripts and medieval treatises in order to explain the complex and time-consuming technical processes of illumination - its materials, methods, tools, choice of illustration, and execution. From rare surviving contracts, he deduces the preoccupation of patrons with materials and schedules. Illustrating his discussion with examples chosen from religious and secular manuscripts made all over Europe, Alexander recreates the astonishing variety and creativity ofmedieval illumination. His book will be a standard reference for years to come.
