Download or read book 100 Masterpieces of National Galleries Barberini and Corsini written by PRIMAROSA and published by Officina Libraria. This book was released on 2022 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le Gallerie Nazionali d'Arte Antica Barberini e Corsini, situate nel cuore di Roma e ospitate in palazzi di grande pregio architettonico, custodiscono opere di eccezionale valore che coprono un arco cronologico che va dal Duecento al Settecento. Pagina dopo pagina, attraverso i capolavori dei più grandi artisti italiani (Beato Angelico, Raffaello, Piero di Cosimo, Bronzino, Lotto, Tintoretto, Pietro da Cortona, Caravaggio, Bernini, Reni, Guercino, Batoni, Canaletto) si segue lo sviluppo dell'arte del nostro paese. Basti pensare alla Fornarina di Raffaello o alla Giuditta e Oloferne di Caravaggio. Non mancano i grandi maestri stranieri: Hans Holbein, El Greco, Rubens, Poussin, Mengs, Fragonard, Boucher. L'importanza dei due edifici e del formarsi delle loro collezioni in capo a due delle più illustri famiglie centro italiane, i Barberini e i Corsini, così strettamente legate alla storia del pontificato, sono trattate in un breve saggio introduttivo. Oltre alle 100 schede, sono descritti elementi di par ticolare rilievo che fanno parte dell'arredo dei palazzi, ad esempio la Scala elicoidale di Borromini e il soffitto affrescato da Pietro da Cortona con il Trionfo della Divina Provvidenza. Grazie all'accurata campagna fotografica intrapresa dalla Bibliotheca Hertziana e in seguito ai numerosi restauri degli ultimi anni, sarà possibile ammirare fin nei minimi particolari i dipinti e le sculture, tutti riprodotti a piena pagina. Le semplici ma dettagliate schede che accompagnano le immagini guidano il lettore alla comprensione dello stile e dell'iconografia di ogni pezzo, nonché forniscono notizie biografiche, storiche e stilistiche sugli autori. Si tratta della prima guida che include entrambe le Gallerie Nazionali, recentemente accorpate, e il prezzo volutamente contenuto rende il volume di grande interesse per tutti gli appassionati d'arte.

Book Synopsis Buying Baroque by : Edgar Peters Bowron
Download or read book Buying Baroque written by Edgar Peters Bowron and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Americans have shown interest in Italian Baroque art since the eighteenth century—Thomas Jefferson bought copies of works by Salvator Rosa and Guido Reni for his art gallery at Monticello, and the seventeenth-century Bolognese school was admired by painters Benjamin West and John Singleton Copley—a widespread appetite for it only took hold in the early to mid-twentieth century. Buying Baroque tells this history through the personalities involved and the culture of collecting in the United States. The distinguished contributors to this volume examine the dealers, auction houses, and commercial galleries that provided access to Baroque paintings, as well as the collectors, curators, and museum directors who acquired and shaped American perceptions about these works, including Charles Eliot Norton, John W. Ringling, A. Everett Austin Jr., and Samuel H. Kress. These essays explore aesthetic trends and influences to show why Americans developed an increasingly sophisticated taste for Baroque art between the late eighteenth century and the 1920s, and they trace the fervent peak of interest during the 1950s and 1960s. A wide-ranging, in-depth look at the collecting of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Italian paintings in America, this volume sheds new light on the cultural conditions that led collectors to value Baroque art and the significant effects of their efforts on America’s greatest museums and galleries. In addition to the editor, contributors include Andrea Bayer, Virginia Brilliant, Andria Derstine, Marco Grassi, Ian Kennedy, J. Patrice Marandel, Pablo Pérez d’Ors, Richard E. Spear, and Eric M. Zafran.
Book Synopsis Baroque Pathways by : Maurizia Cicconi
Download or read book Baroque Pathways written by Maurizia Cicconi and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maffeo Barberini was elected Pope Urban VIII in 1623. He turned Rome into the baroque capital that we know today. Saint Peter's Cathedral was completed and consecrated during his pontificate. Streets and squares were created that still define the city's image. The erudite Pope Urban VIII had Caravaggio paint his portrait as a young man and sponsored him, as well as many artists who were influenced by him. The Palazzo Barberini in Rome is home to one of the most important collections of Roman baroque painting. The catalogue to the exhibition 'Baroque Pathways' shows a representative selection of these paintings. It traces the story of the creation of Roman baroque painting as inspired by Caravaggio and follows its expansion throughout Europe, to the north of the Alps just as in Naples. It covers the entire spectrum from the Barberini as patrons of the arts to the Prussian kings' admiration of all things Italian. The Barberini Museum is named after the Barberini Palace, which Frederick the Great had built in Potsdam. It was destroyed in World War II but rebuilt between 2013 and 2016 by the Hasso Plattner Foundation, conceived as a modern museum building. The Prussian King desired an Italian Piazza in Potsdam and so based the building on a copperplate engraving of the Palazzo Barberini in Rome by Piranesi. With this reference to the 'pope of the arts,' Frederick demonstrated his desire to be regarded as a great collector and connoisseu of art too.

Book Synopsis Supports in Roman Marble Sculpture by : Anna Anguissola
Download or read book Supports in Roman Marble Sculpture written by Anna Anguissola and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Figural and non-figural supports are a ubiquitous feature of Roman marble sculpture; they appear in sculptures ranging in size from miniature to colossal and of all levels of quality. At odds with modern ideas about beauty, completeness, and visual congruence, these elements, especially non-figural struts, have been dismissed by scholars as mere safeguards for production and transport. However, close examination of these features reveals the tastes and expectations of those who commissioned, bought, and displayed marble sculptures throughout the Mediterranean in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Drawing on a large body of examples, Greek and Latin literary sources, and modern theories of visual culture, this study constitutes the first comprehensive investigation of non-figural supports in Roman sculpture. The book overturns previous conceptions of Roman visual values and traditions and challenges our understanding of the Roman reception of Greek art.
