Download or read book Sandro Botticelli and Herbert Horne written by Rab Hatfield and published by Syracuse University in Florence. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the texts of six papers delivered by internationally renowned scholars during a three-day conference held in Florence in October 2008 in celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the publication of Horne’s celebrated monograph on Botticelli. The first paper, by Caroline Elam, is the keynote lecture she gave at Villa I Tatti about Horne’s remarkable personality and career. Another, by Jonathan Nelson, poses the equally fundamental question of what constitutes authorship in certain works in the production of which Botticelli was only partly involved. Scholar Antonella Francini presents a poem she just discovered by Herbert Horne about a portrait by Botticelli in London. Together these essays deepen our understanding of this celebrated early Renaissance painter.

"The Renaissance Home" brings together a wide range of objects, from furniture and kitchen utensils to popular prints, jewellery and everyday dress, to reveal how the homes of the upper- and middle-classes made a crucial contribution to the flowering of the visual arts in 15th- and 16th-century Italy. Drawing on a wide array of sources including inventories, account-books, letters, treatises, and archaeological and conservation reports, it offers a completely fresh exploration of the fascinating domestic world of Renaissance Italy."

Download or read book With and Without the Medici written by Eckart Marchand and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1998 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medici dominance in the political and cultural life of Italy, and of Florence in particular has been well explored. Previous patronage studies have shown how the Medici invested great wealth in both private and public art and how the skills of Florentine artists and their products were an important part of the self-representation of Florence and the Medici in Italy and abroad. The six studies in this volume investigate the evidence for patronal interests expressed in a variety of commissions by different social groups and consider how far Medici activity as patrons can be considered paradigmatic. In examining the language in which the work was commissioned and received, the scholars explore the way the work of art reflects the patron's needs, interests or allegiance. New evidence is presented of aspects of the relationship between the patron and artists. Topics covered include commissions for the religious and secular decoration of Florentine villas, the activities and aspirations of Florentine nuns, the early practice of collecting, and the artist's response to the patron's needs through the formal qualities of the works of art. The volume is introduced by Eckart Marchand and Alison Wright who provide an invaluable historical overview of the present state of studies in Italian and especially Tuscan Renaissance art patronage.

Download or read book Boccaccio s Heroines written by Margaret Ann Franklin and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this cross disciplinary study of a seminal work of literature and its broader cultural impact, Franklin shows that the stories in Boccaccio's Famous Women were used to promote social ideologies in both Renaissance Tuscany and the dynastic courts of northern Italy. She brings needed clarification to the text by demonstrating that the moral criteria Boccaccio used to judge the lives of legendary women-heroines and miscreants alike-were employed consistently to tackle the challenge that politically powerful women represented for the prevailing social order.

Download or read book Botticelli s Primavera written by Mirella Levi D'Ancona and published by Casa Editrice Leo S. Olschki. This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we have to point to one artist who represents the Uffizi Galleries, certainly Botticelli prevails even over Michelangelo. In this way the Director of the Uffizi, Eike Schmidt, introduces the reading of this book. Quotations and gadgets derived from his works show Botticelli's popularity with general public. But above all, the great table of Primavera, icon of the imagination and undisputed symbol of the Renaissance, stands out. The book we are now presenting, however, uses the flowers and plants of the meadow on which the famous scene takes place as the key to interpreting the work and its meanings, and brings out a world of meanings and suggestions that lightly introduce us to the deepest heart of that extraordinary period that goes by the name, precisely, of Renaissance.

Download or read book Bartolomeo di Giovanni written by Bartolomeo Di Giovanni and published by Edizioni Polistampa. This book was released on 2004 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalogo della mostra allestita al Museo di San Marco, Firenze, 24 aprile - 5 giugno 2004. Di mostre come questa che potremmo definire di microchirurgia specialistica, se ne dovrebbero fare più spesso. E in queste occasioni infatti che la vocazione autentica del nostro mestiere riesce ad emergere con maggiore evidenza. Ci sono molti modi per definire la tutela. Per me tutela, intesa come progetto intellettuale e metodo scientifico, vuol dire in primis individuare gli insiemi dispersi con lobiettivo di ricomporli in unità ; unità almeno conoscitiva quando quella fattuale giuridica non è più possibile. Cera in origine un insieme: la predella di Bartolomeo di Giovanni raffigurante vari episodi della vita di san Benedetto. In tempi lontani le vicende della storia e le logiche del mercato hanno disarticolato i quattro pannelli costitutivi di quellinsieme disperdendoli fra una collezione privata straniera e il museo degli Uffizi. In questa primavera del 2004 la predella dispersa torna in unità nella mostra nel Museo di San Marco (Dalla Presentazione di Antonio Paolucci). Testi in italiano e in inglese / Italian and English text.
