Book Synopsis The Italian Academies 1525-1700 by : Jane E. Everson
Download or read book The Italian Academies 1525-1700 written by Jane E. Everson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intellectual societies known as Academies played a vital role in the development of culture, and scholarly debate throughout Italy between 1525-1700. They were fundamental in establishing the intellectual networks later defined as the ‘République des Lettres’, and in the dissemination of ideas in early modern Europe, through print, manuscript, oral debate and performance. This volume surveys the social and cultural role of Academies, challenging received ideas and incorporating recent archival findings on individuals, networks and texts. Ranging over Academies in both major and smaller or peripheral centres, these collected studies explore the interrelationships of Academies with other cultural forums. Individual essays examine the fluid nature of academies and their changing relationships to the political authorities; their role in the promotion of literature, the visual arts and theatre; and the diverse membership recorded for many academies, which included scientists, writers, printers, artists, political and religious thinkers, and, unusually, a number of talented women. Contributions by established international scholars together with studies by younger scholars active in this developing field of research map out new perspectives on the dynamic place of the Academies in early modern Italy. The publication results from the research collaboration ‘The Italian Academies 1525-1700: the first intellectual networks of early modern Europe’ funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and is edited by the senior investigators.
Book Synopsis Miraculous Encounters by : Bruce Edelstein
Download or read book Miraculous Encounters written by Bruce Edelstein and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2018 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacopo Carucci, known as Pontormo (1494–1557), was the leading painter in mid sixteenth-century Florence and one of the most original and extraordinary Mannerist artists. His extremely personal style was much influenced by Michelangelo, though he also drew from northern art, especially the work of Albrecht Dürer. This catalogue brings together a small but important group of preparatory drawings and finished paintings that center on Pontormo’s great masterpiece, The Visitation, one of the most moving and mesmerizing works by the artist. The Visitation represents the intense moment of encounter between the Virgin Mary and her cousin Elizabeth, who reveal to each other that both are pregnant. The painting is presented—for the first time—along with its highly finished preparatory drawing, which is squared for transfer to the larger surface of the panel. The combination of rigorous research and gorgeous reproductions reveals the painter’s creative process as never before. Other acclaimed paintings, including Portrait of a Halberdier and Portrait of Carlo Neroni, will also be shown alongside their preparatory drawings. Readers will encounter Pontormo both as a religious painter and a painter of portraits, in this original and nuanced account of the celebrated artist.
Book Synopsis The Medici: Portraits and Politics 1512–1570 by : Keith Christiansen
Download or read book The Medici: Portraits and Politics 1512–1570 written by Keith Christiansen and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2021-04-19 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1512 and 1570, Florence underwent dramatic political transformations. As citizens jockeyed for prominence, portraits became an essential means not only of recording a likeness but also of conveying a sitter’s character, social position, and cultural ambitions. This fascinating book explores the ways that painters (including Jacopo Pontormo, Agnolo Bronzino, and Francesco Salviati), sculptors (such as Benvenuto Cellini), and artists in other media endowed their works with an erudite and self-consciously stylish character that made Florentine portraiture distinctive. The Medici family had ruled Florence without interruption between 1434 and 1494. Following their return to power in 1512, Cosimo I de’ Medici, who became the second Duke of Florence in 1537, demonstrated a particularly shrewd ability to wield culture as a political tool in order to transform Florence into a dynastic duchy and give Florentine art the central position it has held ever since. Featuring more than ninety remarkable paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and medals, this volume is written by a team of leading international authors and presents a sweeping, penetrating exploration of a crucial and vibrant period in Italian art.

Book Synopsis The Renaissance Nude by : Thomas Kren
Download or read book The Renaissance Nude written by Thomas Kren and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gloriously illustrated examination of the origins and development of the nude as an artistic subject in Renaissance Europe Reflecting an era when Europe looked to both the classical past and a global future, this volume explores the emergence and acceptance of the nude as an artistic subject. It engages with the numerous and complex connotations of the human body in more than 250 artworks by the greatest masters of the Renaissance. Paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, illuminated manuscripts, and book illustrations reveal private, sometimes shocking, preoccupations as well as surprising public beliefs—the Age of Humanism from an entirely new perspective. This book presents works by Albrecht Dürer, Lucas Cranach, and Martin Schongauer in the north and Donatello, Raphael, and Giorgione in the south; it also introduces names that deserve to be known better. A publication this rich in scholarship could only be produced by a variety of expert scholars; the sixteen contributors are preeminent in their fields and wide-ranging in their knowledge and curiosity. The structure of the volume—essays alternating with shorter texts on individual artworks—permits studies both broad and granular. From the religious to the magical and the poetic to the erotic, encompassing male and female, infancy, youth, and old age, The Renaissance Nude examines in a profound way what it is to be human.

Book Synopsis JULIUS CAESAR 1935: Shakespeare and Censorship in Fascist Italy by : Silvia Bigliazzi
Download or read book JULIUS CAESAR 1935: Shakespeare and Censorship in Fascist Italy written by Silvia Bigliazzi and published by Skenè. Texts and Studies. This book was released on 2019-12-29 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 1 August 1935, only a few months before Mussolini launched the colonial enterprise in Ethiopia, Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar was produced at the Maxentius Basilica in Rome. The performance was organised by The National Workers’ Recreational Club (O.N.D.) and the script was submitted for censorship. However, the procedure followed a different course from the usual one as the commissioner was also part of the Fascist political system. This parallel edition presents for the first time the integral script of the censored text of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, in Raffaello Piccoli's 1925 Italian translation, and explores the implications of this peculiar type of censorship at the moment when, through Shakespeare, censoring became one and the same with political propaganda.

Book Synopsis Le donne Medici nel sistema europeo delle corti XVI-XVIII secolo by : Giulia Calvi
Download or read book Le donne Medici nel sistema europeo delle corti XVI-XVIII secolo written by Giulia Calvi and published by Edizioni Polistampa. This book was released on 2008 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I contributi raccolti delineano una storia completa della dinastia medicea attraverso le sue donne. Questa dimensione femminile corale costruisce una sorta di storia parallela non solo della dinastia, dalle sue origini al tramonto, ma della costruzione stessa dello Stato, sia attraverso il nesso imprescindibile con la famiglia, sia attraverso una riflessione che integra il ciclo di vita delle donne al mutare dei loro ruoli di potere e, dunque, al costituirsi della sfera di governo. Le donne Medici vengono colte qui attraverso la circolazione e lo scambio, oltre i confini dei singoli Stati: quelle che si allontanano come spose e quelle, &"straniere a corte&", che giungono a Firenze per entrare nella dinastia. La circolazione delle donne nel sistema europeo delle corti inserisce la vicenda della dinastia medicea e la storia stessa di Firenze nel cuore della storia d&'Europa. L&'opera unisce i contributi della storia dell&'arte, della letteratura, della storia religiosa, sociale e politica, della cultura materiale, della storia delle donne e di genere. L&'apporto documentario è imponente e focalizzato sulle corrispondenze femminili. La struttura del libro, quella del ritratto di gruppo, evita il ricorso alla biografia e getta luce sull&'entourage entro cui le donne Medici hanno operato.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dedicato alla madre e rivolto alle giovani donne, nella speranza che il Risorgimento politico fosse anche un risorgimento femminile, è lo scritto La donna e i suoi rapporti sociali, pubblicato nel 1864. Convinta repubblicana, non esita a rimproverare a Mazzini e ai suoi seguaci l'idea conservatrice che il posto della donna stia soltanto nella famiglia: «non dite più che la donna è fatta per la famiglia, che nella famiglia è il suo regno e il suo impero! Le son queste vacue declamazioni come mille altre di simil genere! Ella esiste nella famiglia, nella città, in faccia ai pesi e ai doveri; di questi all'infuori, ella non esiste in nessun luogo». Il presente eBook ricalca e rinforza i temi già sviluppati in La Donna e i suoi Rapporti Sociali.
