Download or read book The Sistine Chapel written by Ulrich Pfisterer and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2018 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art of the Sistine Chapel, decorated by artists who competed with one another and commissioned by popes who were equally competitive, is a complex fabric of thematic, chronological, and artistic references. Four main campaigns were undertaken to decorate the chapel between 1481 and 1541, and with each new addition, fundamental themes found increasingly concrete expression. One overarching theme plays a central role in the chapel: the legitimization of papal authority, as symbolized by two keys—one silver, one gold—to the kingdom of heaven. The Sistine Chapel: Paradise in Rome is a concise, informative account of the Sistine Chapel. In unpacking this complex history, Ulrich Pfisterer reveals the remarkable unity of the images in relation to theology, politics, and the intentions of the artists themselves, who included such household names as Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Through a study of the main campaigns to adorn the Sistine Chapel, Pfisterer argues that the art transformed the chapel into a pathway to the kingdom of God, legitimizing the absolute authority of the popes. First published in German, the prose comes to life in English in the deft hands of translator David Dollenmayer.

Download or read book Michelangelo written by Carmen C. Bambach and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2017-11-05 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consummate painter, draftsman, sculptor, and architect, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564) was celebrated for his disegno, a term that embraces both drawing and conceptual design, which was considered in the Renaissance to be the foundation of all artistic disciplines. To his contemporary Giorgio Vasari, Michelangelo was “the divine draftsman and designer” whose work embodied the unity of the arts. Beautifully illustrated with more than 350 drawings, paintings, sculptures, and architectural views, this book establishes the centrality of disegno to Michelangelo’s work. Carmen C. Bambach presents a comprehensive and engaging narrative of the artist’s long career in Florence and Rome, beginning with his training under the painter Domenico Ghirlandaio and the sculptor Bertoldo and ending with his seventeen-year appointment as chief architect of Saint Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican. The chapters relate Michelangelo’s compositional drawings, sketches, life studies, and full-scale cartoons to his major commissions—such as the ceiling frescoes and the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel, the church of San Lorenzo and its New Sacristy (Medici Chapel) in Florence, and Saint Peter’s—offering fresh insights into his creative process. Also explored are Michelangelo’s influential role as a master and teacher of disegno, his literary and spiritual interests, and the virtuoso drawings he made as gifts for intimate friends, such as the nobleman Tommaso de’ Cavalieri and Vittoria Colonna, the marchesa of Pescara. Complementing Bambach’s text are thematic essays by leading authorities on the art of Michelangelo. Meticulously researched, compellingly argued, and richly illustrated, this book is a major contribution to our understanding of this timeless artist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sistine Chapel is one of the world’s most magnificent buildings, and the frescos that decorate its ceiling and walls are a testimony to the creative genius of the Renaissance. Two generations of artists worked at the heart of Christianity, over the course of several decades in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, to produce this extraordinary achievement of Western civilization. In this book, the art historian and restorer Antonio Forcellino tells the remarkable story of the Sistine Chapel, bringing his unique combination of knowledge and skills to bear on the conditions that led to its creation. Forcellino shows that Pope Sixtus IV embarked on the project as an attempt to assert papal legitimacy in response to Mehmed II's challenge to the Pope's spiritual leadership. The lower part of the chapel was decorated by a consortium of master painters whose frescoes, so coherent that they seem almost to have been painted by a single hand, represent the highest expression of the Quattrocento Tuscan workshops. Then, in 1505, Sixtus IV's nephew, Julius II, imposed a change in direction. Having been captivated by the prodigious talent of a young Florentine sculptor, Julius II summoned Michelangelo Buonarroti to Rome and commissioned him to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Two decades later, Michelangelo returned to paint The Last Judgement, which covers the wall behind the alter. Michelangelo's revolutionary work departed radically from tradition and marked a turning point in the history of Western art. Antonio Forcellino brings to life the wonders of the Sistine Chapel by describing the aims and everyday practices of the protagonists who envisioned it and the artists who created it, reconstructing the material history that underlies this masterpiece.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cinquecento anni dallo svelamento della volta Sistina gli affreschi più celebri di Michelangelo non cessano di stimolare nuove e inedite letture. Secondo un taglio iconografico e iconologico aggiornato all'indagine contestuale, questo volume raccoglie i contributi più significativi degli studiosi che hanno affrontato con tagli diversi e complementari l'interpretazione dei significati del ciclo della Genesi, rivelandone la complessità simbolica e dottrinale, funzionale all'immaginazione creativa di Michelangelo, e il forte impatto comunicativo. I saggi di Antonio Paolucci, Maurizio Calvesi, Silvia Danesi Squarzina, Heinrich Pfeiffer, Thimoty Verdon, Gianluigi Colalucci, Costanza Barbieri, Lucina Vattuone propongono letture fondate sulla cultura agostiniana, sul gioachimismo, sul francescanesimo, sul neoplatonismo e sulla storia delle immagini. Emergono così le profonde radici storico-religiose delle scelte figurative del Buonarroti e dei teologi che lo hanno affiancato. In questa prospettiva, i contenuti giustificano le forme e danno sostanza alle scelte compositive: l'accurata tecnica esecutiva del Giona sopra l'altare, ad esempio, che ha richiesto ben dodici giornate di lavoro, si spiega con la centralità teologica del profeta nell'economia dei significati della Sistina. Completa il volume un'appendice con i risultati inediti delle indagini diagnostiche non invasive sul Ritratto di Michelangelo che mostra i suoi disegni (Amburgo, collezione privata), condotte dalle più importanti istituzioni italiane ed estere (Firenze, Opificio delle Pietre Dure e INOA; Università di Perugia, CNR-ISTM e centro SMAART; Università di Anversa, Dipartimento di Chimica). Ne emergono dati spettacolari che gettano luce non solo sul nodo del problema attributivo, ma rivelano, negli strati pittorici soggiacenti al ritratto, la presenza di un dipinto di Andrea del Sarto raffigurante una Madonna con Bambino e San Giovannino, che i documenti associano inequivocabilmente al committente Pierfrancesco Borgherini, ad Andrea del Sarto, a Michelangelo e a Sebastiano del Piombo.
