Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro constituye la obra póstuma de Colin Rowe, uno de los historiadores y críticos de arquitectura más destacados de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. En él se plasman sus enseñanzas sobre uno de los periodos históricos que siempre le fascinó: el Cinquecento, el siglo XVI italiano. El origen de los textos son sus legendarias clases sobre la arquitectura del Renacimiento que impartió durante 28 años en la Universidad de Cornell, de las cuales pronto empezaron a circular apuntes entre los estudiantes. Esas lecciones se distinguían de las de sus colegas por el énfasis puesto en la perspectiva y la re- presentación de la arquitectura en la pintura y la escultura, y también por la preeminencia otorgada al siglo XVI. Los apuntes de esas clases tomados por su antiguo alumno Leon Satkowski sirvieron para preparar el contenido de este libro. La muerte de Rowe en 1999 impidió completar los textos que ambos llevaban preparando desde 1994, tras lo cual se decidió publicar únicamente los capítulos ya terminados. Estos estudios constituyen un homenaje a los edificios y los artistas por los que Rowe sentía un profundo aprecio. Con ese atractivo estilo que siempre caracterizó sus escritos, Rowe expone sus análisis en términos tanto históricos como contemporáneos y centra su atención tanto en los principales arquitectos de la época ( Bramante, Giulio Romano o Sansovino), como en sus mecenas (los papas, la familia Medici o los dux de Venecia), sin olvidarse de las ciudades que acogieron sus obras (Roma, Venecia o Mantua). Para quienes viajen a Italia para disfrutar del arte y la arquitectura del siglo XVI -esos lugares que cautivaban el corazón de Rowe y estimulaban su fértil imaginación-, este libro será una placentera lectura en la medida en que constituye un valioso compendio de erudición crítica.

Download or read book Arquitectura italiana del Barroco al Rococ written by John Varriano and published by Alianza Editorial Sa. This book was released on 1990 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consideradas hasta bien entrado el siglo XX como extravagantes y caprichosas, las creaciones barrocas sorprenden hoy por la fuerza de su imaginación y por su irrefrenable audacia, que las llevó a desafiar todos los cánones de la arquitectura clásica. Esencialmente retórico, el Barroco se propuso en muchos casos la persuasión como intención prioritaria. Los grandes patronos y constructores comprendieron claramente el valor propagandístico de la grandilocuencia arquitectónica y, así, fue la Iglesia Católica la que patrocinó, directa o indirectamente, muchas de las construcciones de este período, siendo Italia el país en el que se alzaron gran parte de las estructuras más imaginativas. La Arquitectura italiana del Barroco al Rococó analiza las fases sucesivas del desarrollo de estos estilos en Italia a lo largo de siglo y medio -desde comienzos del siglo XVII hasta mediados del siglo XVIII- a través de sus más destacados creadores. Los estudios dedicados a los arquitectos clave de la época como Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Francesco Borromini, Pietro da Cortona o Guarino Guarini, o a otros menos conocidos que trabajaron en cada región del país, desde Sicilia a Venecia, unidos al análisis detallado de cada una de sus obras principales, convierten a este libro del prestigioso investigador John Varriano en un elemento imprescindible para el conocimiento de este interesante período de la historia del arte.

Download or read book Janello Torriani and the Spanish Empire written by Cristiano Zanetti and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Janello Torriani, known in the Spanish-speaking world as Juanelo Turriano (Cremona, Italy ca. 1500 – Toledo, Spain 1585), is the greatest among Renaissance inventors and constructors of machines. Contemporary literates and mathematicians celebrated Janello Torriani and his creations in their writings. It is striking how such fame turned into nearly complete oblivion, leaving only a few clues of a blurred and distorted memory dispersed here and there. This book wishes to show the central role that artisans formed in the Vitruvian tradition played in demonstrating through practical mathematics an increasing and positive control over Nature, a step rooted in humanist culture and foundational for the understanding of those historical processes known as the Scientific and the Industrial Revolutions.

Download or read book Sebastiano del Piombo and the World of Spanish Rome written by Piers Baker-Bates and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sebastiano del Piombo (c.1485-1547) was a close associate and rival of the central artistic figures of the High Renaissance, notably Michelangelo and Raphael. After the death of Raphael and the departure of Michelangelo from Rome, Sebastiano became the dominant artistic personality in the city. Despite being one of most significant artistic figures of the period, he remains the last artist of major importance in the western canon about whom no recent work has been published in English. In this study, Piers Baker-Bates approaches Sebastiano?s career through analysis of the patrons he attracted following his arrival at Rome. The first half of the book concentrates on Sebastiano?s network of patrons, predominantly Italian, who had strong factional ties to the Imperial camp; the second half discusses Sebastiano?s relationship with his principal Spanish patrons. Sebastiano is a leading example of a transcultural artist in the sixteenth century and his relationship with Spain was fundamental to the development of his careerThe author investigates the domination of Sebastiano?s career by patrons who had geographically different origins, but who were all were members of a wider network of Imperial loyalties. Thus Baker-Bates removes Sebastiano from the shadow of his contemporaries, bringing him to life for the reader as an artistic personality in his own right. Baker-Bates? characterization of the Rome in which Sebastiano made his career differs from previous scholarly accounts, and he describes how Sebastiano was ideally suited to flourish in the environment he depicts.Sebastiano del Piombo and the World of Spanish Rome thus re-appraises not only Sebastiano?s place in the canon of Renaissance art but, using him as a lens, also the cultural worlds of Early Modern Italy and Spain in which he operated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro no sólo analiza el desarrollo de las artes en Italia durante los siglos XVII y XVIII, sino que estudia, además, las transformaciones ideológicas y políticas que caracterizaron este período y que marcaron una importante diferencia con respecto al Renacimiento. Tomando como punto de partida el Saco de Roma, se analiza el trasfondo espiritual de la Contrarreforma, el cambio en las ideas estéticas y el protagonismo de un nuevo escenario, Roma, en el que grandes arquitectos y escultores como Bernini y Borromini desarrollaron las obras más significativas de este período. La pintura también ocupa una parte importante de este volumen, en el que se describen los principales ciclos de frescos del barroco romano y se analizan en profundidad grandes figuras, como Caravaggio o Guido Reni, para concluir con Giambattista Tiepolo y Canaletto.

Download or read book The Invention of the Colonial Americas written by Byron Ellsworth Hamann and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Seville’s Archive of the Indies reveals how current views of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are based on radical historical revisionism in Spain in the late 1700s. The Invention of the Colonial Americas is an architectural history and mediaarchaeological study of changing theories and practices of government archives in Enlightenment Spain. It centers on an archive created in Seville for storing Spain’s pre-1760 documents about the New World. To fill this new archive, older archives elsewhere in Spain—spaces in which records about American history were stored together with records about European history—were dismembered. The Archive of the Indies thus constructed a scholarly apparatus that made it easier to imagine the history of the Americas as independent from the history of Europe, and vice versa. In this meticulously researched book, Byron Ellsworth Hamann explores how building layouts, systems of storage, and the arrangement of documents were designed to foster the creation of new knowledge. He draws on a rich collection of eighteenth-century architectural plans, descriptions, models, document catalogs, and surviving buildings to present a literal, materially precise account of archives as assemblages of spaces, humans, and data—assemblages that were understood circa 1800 as capable of actively generating scholarly innovation.

Download or read book Spain and the Mediterranean in the Later Middle Ages written by J. N. Hillgarth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These papers are centered on the Crown of Aragon in the later Middle Ages, its achievements (the more remarkable given the very evident problems with which it was beset), and especially on its role in the Mediterranean. Hence the emphasis on Majorca, its leading intellectual figure, Ramon Lull (1232-1316), and his influence, and related to these the article on Thomas Aquinas. Other studies deal with the relations of Christians and Jews in Majorca, down to the Expulsion from Spain. In these papers Professor Hillgarth seeks to investigate the transmission of learning and how what is transmitted may be put to use in a new context, and also to question a number of current assumptions as to the nature of Spanish history.

Download or read book 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture written by The Getty Conservation Institute and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1991-02-28 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 14-19, 1990, the 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture was held in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Sponsored by the GCI, the Museum of New Mexico State Monuments, ICCROM, CRATerre-EAG, and the National Park Service, under the aegis of US/ICOMOS, the event was organized to promote the exchange of ideas, techniques, and research findings on the conservation of earthen architecture. Presentations at the conference covered a diversity of subjects, including the historic traditions of earthen architecture, conservation and restoration, site preservation, studies in consolidation and seismic mitigation, and examinations of moisture problems, clay chemistry, and microstructures. In discussions that focused on the future, the application of modern technologies and materials to site conservation was urged, as was using scientific knowledge of existing structures in the creation of new, low-cost, earthen architecture housing.

Download or read book Gardens of the Iberian Peninsula written by Nadja Horsch and published by Frank & Timme GmbH. This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In garden research, Spanish and Portuguese green spaces are scarcely visible. This is a striking contrast not only to their diversity and quality but also to the global network of both countries, especially during the Early Modern period. To counterbalance this, specialists from Spain, Portugal and Germany gathered in 2021 on an international and interdisciplinary conference. In the Portuguese Palace of Queluz they discussed the fundamental issues of garden art on the Iberian Peninsula. Their contributions are collected in this book. They are proof of a cross-border transcultural approach, which has freed itself from ­national stereotypes. Also, it addresses insights which have been derived from the cultural interaction across the centuries and the different epochs of garden art.

Download or read book The Influence of Italian Culture on the Sevillian Golden Age of Painting written by Rafael Japón and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-20 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the cultural exchange between Italy and Spain in the seventeenth century, examining Spanish collectors’ predilection for Italian painting and its influence on Spanish painters. Focused on collecting and using a novel methodology, this volume studies how the painters of the Sevillian school, including Francisco Pacheco, Diego Velázquez, Alonso Cano and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, perceived and were influenced by Italian painting. Through many examples, it is shown how the presence in Andalusia of various works and copies of works by artists such as Michelangelo, Caravaggio and Guido Reni inspired famous compositions by these Spanish artists. In addition, the book delves into the historical, political and social context of this period. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Renaissance studies, and Italian and Spanish history.

Download or read book Paper Heritage in Italy France Spain and Beyond 16th to 19th Centuries written by Benedetta Borello and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a long-term approach, spanning from the end of the 16th to the 19th century, to explore how men and women in Italy, France, and Spain collected, displayed, and passed down various types of papers. The contributors share a core interest in the relationship between social actors and their paper heritage. The collectors, who come from diverse cultural, social, and gender backgrounds, provide insights into the reasons and processes behind the accumulation, valorisation, and transmission of their paper heritage. Unlike most studies on collecting, this book shifts the focus away from collections and institutions to the owners of the collected objects and their desires for their accumulated papers. This volume covers three centuries and provides insights into the aspirations of collectors and the fate of their papers after transmission. It takes place against the backdrop of major social, political, and cultural changes affecting the Italian peninsula, the Spanish monarchy, and France. The cultural interests and the collector networks often extended beyond Europe, as noted by many of the essays in this volume. Paper Heritage in Italy, France, Spain and Beyond (16th to 19th Centuries) will interest scholars and students of Early Modern and Modern European History across various fields, including social and cultural history, intellectual history, gender history, history of collecting and patronage.
