Book excerpt: Italian Gothic Sculpture examines the sculpture produced in a variety of genres and media throughout the Italic peninsula, from the late medieval period until the beginning of the early modern era. Arguing that Italian Gothic sculpture is neither a provincial offshoot of northern Gothic art, nor a mere preparation for the Early Renaissance, Anita Moskowitz demonstrates that these art works are distinguished by a unique visual language and syntax. Incorporating the most recent archaeological discoveries, this study also addresses questions of politics, patronage, and piety to offer new ways of thinking about these art works.

Download or read book English Gothic Misericord Carvings written by Betsy Chunko-Dominguez and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English Gothic Misericord Carvings: History from the Bottom Up by Betsy Chunko-Dominguez is the first book to move beyond textual dependence and traditional iconographic analysis when examining misericords. It likewise builds the most thorough discussion to date of the relationship between the misericord’s several potential audiences – including patron, craftsman, occupant of the seat, and modern viewer. Beyond the bounds of misericord studies, there are implications here for study of the relationship between center and margin in late medieval art; and, indeed, what constitutes ‘center’ and ‘margin’ as conceptual realms. Ultimately, this book attempts both to re-integrate the study of misericords into the study of Gothic art in general, and to re-center them in relation to our understanding of late medieval culture.

Book excerpt: The exhibition catalog is the first survey of Gothic ivories in English.

Organized chronologically, the catalog tells the story of the development of this art form; the people who carved, commissioned, and made use of ivories in the Middle Ages; and the impact historical developments had on the growth and eventual demise of the art form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gothic art finds its roots in the powerful architecture of the cathedrals of northern France. It is a medieval art movement that evolved throughout Europe over more than 200 years. Leaving curved Roman forms behind, the architects started using flying buttresses and pointed arches to open up cathedrals to daylight. A period of great economic and social change, the Gothic era also saw the development of a new iconography celebrating the Holy Mary – in drastic contrast to the fearful themes of dark Roman times. Full of rich changes in all of the various art forms (architecture, sculpture, painting, etc.), Gothic art paved the way for the Italian Renaissance and International Gothic movement.

Book excerpt: Gothic & Renaissance Art Collection This book features artworks by painters representing Gothic and Renaissance art, including Fra Angelico, known for his detailed paintings of the early Renaissance period; Duccio di Buoninsegna, a master of medieval Italian art and founder of the Sienese school; and Simone Martini, another major figure of the Sienese school. Gothic art transcends time to convey the enduring beauty of art, captivating many with its deep religious significance. The Renaissance is noted for its innovative beauty and artistic advancements, leaving a lasting mark on history. Featured Artists: Allegretto Nuzi, Andrea di Bonaiuto da Firenze, Antonio Pisanello, Bartolo di Fredi, Bernat Martorell, Circle of Ferrer and Arnau Bass, Duccio di Buoninsegna, Fra Angelico, Gherardo Starnina, Jacopo Bellini, Jacopo del Casentino, Jan Polack, Jaume Huguet, Lorenzo Monaco, Niccolo di Pietro, Pere Serra, Simone Martini, Taddeo di Bartolo Gothic art, which flourished in Europe from the mid-12th century to the early 16th century, was primarily associated with church architecture. Characterized by its soaring spires, sharp arches, intricate decoration, and stained glass windows, it was used primarily to express the mystery and reverence of faith. Gothic artists created works depicting biblical stories and the lives of saints, commissioned by the church, to convey the values of Christianity. Renaissance art, which developed in Italy and Europe from the late 14th century to the mid-16th century, marked a departure from the Gothic style, introducing features such as humanism, realism, naturalism, perspective, and a revival of ancient art. The early Renaissance opened new artistic horizons. Fra Angelico was a Dominican friar and painter known for his fresco work in the San Marco Monastery in Florence and the Dominican Monastery in Cortona. His works are characterized by delicate technique and perspective influenced by Masaccio. Angelico was also known for his humble life and was beatified by Pope John Paul II. He famously said, "Prayer is an extension of art," and painted as part of his devotion. This book offers an opportunity to experience art from the mysterious beauty of Gothic art to the groundbreaking innovations of the Renaissance. It is a valuable book for readers interested in art history and those seeking a deeper understanding of art and religion.
