Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Donatello Soon after his return to Florence we find him busily engaged in the exe cution of works commissioned by the authorities of the Church of Or San Michele and by the Cathedral Board of Works. Statues of heroic size of 'st. Peter' and 'st. Mark' were executed by him for niches on the outside of Or San Michele, where later his famous 'st. George' was also to find a place. For the cathedral he carved a statue of 'joshua, ' and a great seated figure of 'st. John the Evangelist.' For the bell-tower of Florence - Giotto's Campanile - he executed statues of 'jeremiah, ' 'habakkuk, ' 'abraham and Isaac, ' and the one erroneously called 'king David, ' but better known as 'il Zuccone' (the bald-head-literally, the which he is said to have regarded as one of his most satisfactory achievements. The model chosen for this statue was an old man, ungainly in form and of singularly unprepossessing features, but so faithfully did Donatello portray him that the statue seemed to its creator well-nigh alive. Speak then! Plague take thee, why wilt thou not speak? He would frequently exclaim while at work upon it; and, By the faith that I place in my 'zuccone' became his customary expression when wishing to give special force to a statement. In these statues for the Campanile Donatello first showed his striking originality and vital force. Working from living models, he departed from the conventional ecclesiastical types, and imbued the figures of his prophets with life, making them intensely realistic, even repellent, in their fidelity to nature.

Download or read book Masters of Venice written by Sylvia Ferino-Pagden and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KEYNOTE: Featuring ffty masterworks by Mantegna, Giorgione, Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto, this stunning book examines the brilliant painters who transformed the art of Renaisssance Venice. Featuring fifty masterworks by Mantegna, Giorgione, Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto, this stunning book examines the brilliant painters who transformed the art of Renaissance Venice. Among the singular moments in the evolution of Western art, the Venetian Renaissance forged an artistic vocabulary of dazzling virtuosity. Celebrating the poetic potential of color and beauty observed in nature, Venetian painters of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries transcended the spatial, textural, and emotional realism of their predecessors to create works unsurpassed in their sensual depictions, velvety surfaces, and unique and glorious treatment of light. Focusing on canonical works from Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum (one of the world's four great imperial museums, along with the Hermitage, the Louvre, and the Prado), this book's lavish illustrations and illuminating essays offer a rich introduction to the treasures of the Venetian Renaissance. Among the spectacular artworks are Mantegna's tortured Saint Sebastian, Titian's enigmatic Bravo (The Assassin) and sumptuous Danäe, and a rare group of paintings by the elusive Giorgione, including Portrait of a Young Woman (Laura) and The Three philosophers. The book also includes exemplary works by Veronese, Palma ecchio, Bordone, and Bassano, among others, revealing the full range of Venetian accomplishment in the Renaissance era. AUTHOR: Sylvia Ferino is director of the Gemaldegalerie of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, and an expert on Italian painting. Lynn Federle Orr is curator in charge of European art at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Among her recent publications is The Cult of Beauty: The Aesthetic Movement 1860-1900 100 colour illustrations

Download or read book Italian Renaissance Art written by Laurie Schneider Adams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The chronology of the Italian Renaissance, its character, and context have long been a topic of discussion among scholars. Some date its beginnings to the fourteenthcentury work of Giotto, others to the generation of Masaccio, Brunelleschi, and Donatello that fl ourished from around 1400. The close of the Renaissance has also proved elusive. Mannerism, for example, is variously considered to be an independent (but subsidiary) late aspect of Renaissance style or a distinct style in its own right."
