Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’attenzione per la cultura italiana costituì per Rubens un costante riferimento durante tutta la vita e, in particolare, gli otto anni di soggiorno in Italia furono l’occasione per studiare l’arte antica e i grandi maestri rinascimentali, ma anche per guardare le opere di artisti a lui contemporanei, come Caravaggio e Baglione, per analizzare l’architettura, per frequentare circoli scientifici e letterari. Una così evidente fascinazione nei confronti della civiltà italica ha prodotto una vera miniera archivistica, iconografica e stilistica attraverso la quale interpretare non solo la pittura, ma anche il sistema di rapporti diplomatici e di relazione che Rubens perseguì nel corso di tutta la vita. Molti legami fondamentali per la carriera del maestro d’Anversa ebbero inizio o si intensificarono proprio durante gli anni italiani, con collezionisti romani e genovesi, ma anche con personaggi politici stranieri, come la famiglia Richardot e i governatori delle Fiandre, e con ordini religiosi quali Gesuiti, Filippini e Carmelitani.
Download or read book Rubens and the Dominican Church in Antwerp written by Adam Sammut and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the Dominican church in Antwerp (today St Paul’s). It is structured around three works of art, made or procured by Peter Paul Rubens: the Fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary cycle (in situ), Caravaggio’s Rosary Madonna (Vienna) and the Wrath of Christ high altarpiece (Lyon). Within the artist’s lifetime, the church and monastery were completely rebuilt, creating one of the most spectacular sacred spaces in Northern Europe. In this richly illustrated book, Adam Sammut reconceptualises early modern churches as theatres of political economy, advancing an original approach to cultural production in a time of war. Using methodologies at the cutting edge of the humanities, the place of St Paul’s is restored to the crux of Antwerp’s commercial, civic and religious life.
Download or read book Tra Fiandre e Italia Rubens 1600 1608 written by Raffaella Morselli and published by Viella Libreria Editrice. This book was released on 2020-04-02T12:51:00+02:00 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gli anni che Rubens trascorse in Italia dal luglio del 1600 all’ottobre del 1608 sono attestati da più di duecento documenti, oggi dispersi in sedici archivi diversi, suddivisi tipologicamente in lettere, contratti e fonti letterarie a lui coeve. Tale documentazione, ritrovata, trascritta e soprattutto tradotta in lingue differenti a partire dalla seconda metà dell’Ottocento fino ai giorni nostri, non è mai stata sistematizzata nella sua complessità cronologica e di intreccio. Il pittore teneva una fitta corrispondenza con il fratello Philip, cui era legato anche da una visione filosofica e umanistica della vita, e con gli amici fiamminghi, con quelli italiani, con gli spagnoli e con chiunque venisse in contatto con la sua empatica personalità. Gli anni italiani furono per Rubens una scacchiera su cui giocare con lealtà e furbizia, con un occhio alla pittura e all’antico e un altro all’economia più spicciola. Il pittore leggeva e scriveva in fiammingo, in latino, in greco, in italiano, in spagnolo e manteneva stretti legami sia con la sua terra sia con le persone più influenti che incontrava nel suo peregrinare, in quegli anni, tra Venezia, Mantova, Firenze, Roma, Padova, Genova, Valladolid e Madrid. Questo volume raccorda tutti questi documenti per ritessere quella grande rete che Rubens aveva intelligentemente intrecciato in otto gloriosi anni.
Download or read book Beauty Devotion and Spirituality written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-06-20 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is scant research on the art produced under the Congregation of the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, with the exception of a couple of general books focused primarily on major Oratorian art pieces. Therefore, this book of essays aims to discuss the art and culture produced by or associated with the Oratorians by providing a broad overview focused especially on rarely investigated issues. The authors focus on this very important artistic production, commonly forgotten when compared with other religious productions of art, by covering geographical areas spanning from Sri Lanka to Mexico, including Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, India and Brazil.
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.
Download or read book America in Italian Culture written by Guido Bonsaver and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-15 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When America began to emerge as a world power at the end of the nineteenth century, Italy was a young nation, recently unified. The technological advances brought about by electricity and the combustion engine were vastly speeding up the capacity of news, ideas, and artefacts to travel internationally. Furthermore, improved literacy and social reforms had produced an Italian working class with increased time, money, and education. At the turn of the century, if Italy's ruling elite continued the tradition of viewing Paris as a model of sophistication and good taste, millions of lowly-educated Italians began to dream of America, and many bought a transatlantic ticket to migrate there. By the 1920s, Italians were encountering America through Hollywood films and, thanks to illustrated magazines, they were mesmerised by the sight of Manhattan's futuristic skyline and by news of American lifestyle. The USA offered a model of modernity which flouted national borders and spoke to all. It could be snubbed, adored, or transformed for one's personal use, but it could not be ignored. Perversely, Italy was by then in the hands of a totalitarian dictatorship, Mussolini's Fascism. What were the effects of the nationalistic policies and campaigns aimed at protecting Italians from this supposedly pernicious foreign influence? What did Mussolini think of America? Why were jazz, American literature, and comics so popular, even as the USA became Italy's political enemy? America in Italian Culture provides a scholarly and captivating narrative of this epochal shift in Italian culture.

Download or read book Rubens Drawing on Italy written by Jeremy Wood and published by National Galleries of Scotland. This book was released on 2002 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Paul Rubens was one of the most inventive and prolific artists in the history of western art. After his early training in Antwerp, Rubens spent formative periods in Italy between 1600 and 1608. This book explores the ways in which Rubens studied, copied, and adapted the work of artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian. A large group of drawings by Italian artists, many of which were owned by Rubens and extensively transformed by him, are illustrated. These works show how Ruben's dialogue with Italian art went far beyond mere imitation and how his copies and adaptations attracted the attention of scholars and collectors from his lifetime onwards. The intriguing book has been written by one of the foremost Rubens scholars, Jeremy Wood, lecturer in the history of art at the University of Nottingham. 21 colour & 78 b/w illustrations
Download or read book Echoes of Opera in Modern Italian Poetry written by Mattia Acetoso and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-24 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twentieth-century Italian poetry is haunted by countless ghosts and shadows from opera. Echoes of Opera in Modern Italian Poetry reveals their presence and sheds light on their role in shaping that great poetic tradition. This is the first work in English to analyze the influence of opera on modern Italian poetry, uncovering a fundamental but neglected relationship between the two art forms. A group of Italian poets, from Gabriele D’Annunzio to Giorgio Caproni, by way of Umberto Saba and Eugenio Montale, made opera a cornerstone of their artistic craft. More than an occasional stylistic influence, opera is rather analyzed as a fundamental facet of these poets’ intellectual quest to overcome the expressive limitations of lyrical poetry. This book reframes modern Italian poetry in a truly interdisciplinary perspective, broadening our understanding of its prominence within the humanities, in the twentieth century and beyond.
