Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questo volume presenta gli esiti degli studi e delle ricerche intrapresi in occasione del restauro del Busto di Medusa di Gian Lorenzo Bernini. In un brillante saggio introduttivo di Maddalena Cima l'immagine di Medusa e la sua interpretazione nelle arti figurative, tra età arcaica e tardo antico, sono analizzati attraverso la trama del mito e delle fonti poetiche classiche, premessa indispensabile per comprendere l'assoluta novità dell'interpretazione berniniana della favola antica. La vicenda critica relativa all'attribuzione del Busto di Medusa a Gian Lorenzo Bernini è magistralmente ripercorsa da Irving Lavin in un saggio di grande fascino, mentre Elena Bianca Di Gioia ricostruisce le vicende storiche legate all'arrivo della scultura in Campidoglio nel 1731. La seconda parte del volume è interamente dedicata al restauro della scultura. Le indagini esperite e i dati raccolti sono presentati con l'intento di contribuire ad una più ampia comprensione e conoscenza delle opere e delle tecniche di lavorazione delle sculture di Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Download or read book The Vatican Heresy written by Robert Bauval and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals how the largest Sun Temple in the world, built according to Hermetic principles, is located at one of Christianity’s holiest sites: the Vatican • Shows how famous Renaissance philosophers and scientists called for a Hermetic reformation of Christianity by building a magical Temple of the Sun in Rome • Explains how the Vatican architect Bernini designed St. Peter’s Square to reflect heliocentric and Hermetic principles • Reveals how the design was masterminded by Bernini, Jesuit scholars, the mystical Queen Christine of Sweden, and several popes In 16th century Italy, in the midst of the Renaissance, two powerful movements took hold. The first, the Hermetic Movement, was inspired by an ancient set of books housed in the library of Cosimo de’ Medici and written by the Egyptian sage Hermes Trismegistus. The movement expounded the return of the “true religion of the world” based on a form of natural magic that could draw down the powers of the heavens and incorporate them into statues and physical structures. The other movement, the Heliocentric Movement launched by Copernicus, was a direct challenge to the Vatican’s biblical interpretation of a geocentric world system. Declared a heresy by the Pope, those who promoted it risked the full force of the Inquisition. Exploring the meeting point of these two movements, authors Robert Bauval and Chiara Hohenzollern reveal how the most outspoken and famous philosophers, alchemists, and scientists of the Renaissance, such as Giordano Bruno and Marsilio Ficino, called for a Hermetic reformation of the Christian religion by building a magical utopic city, an architectural version of the heliocentric system. Using contemporary documents and the latest cutting-edge theses, the authors show that this Temple of the Sun was built in Rome, directly in front of the Vatican’s Basilica of St. Peter. They explain how the Vatican architect Bernini designed St. Peter’s Square to reflect the esoteric principles of the Hermetica and how the square is a detailed representation of the heliocentric system. Revealing the magical architectural plan masterminded by the Renaissance’s greatest minds, including Bernini, Jesuit scholars, Queen Christine of Sweden, and several popes, the authors expose the ultimate heresy of all time blessed by the Vatican itself.
