This is the story of one of the greatest painters of all time, and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. Leonardo grew up in the hamlet of Anchiano in Tuscany where he received an informal education. Young Leonardo had an unquenchable curiosity in life and moved to Florence where he took an interest in painting. At the age of fourteen, Leonardo began an apprenticeship with Andrea del Verrocchio. Here, his talent blossomed and as fate would have it, he was soon employed by the rich and powerful Duke of Milan. Soon, Leonardo moved to the city of Rome, where some of the greatest artists of the time lived. This tale traces the fascinating life of one of the best and most famous artists that the world has ever seen.

Book Synopsis The Day the Renaissance Was Saved by : Niccolo Capponi
Download or read book The Day the Renaissance Was Saved written by Niccolo Capponi and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a battle that change the course of history, and was immortalized in a massive painting by Leonardo da Vinci that was thought lost for centuries . . . until now. On a sweltering day in June 1440, near the Tuscan town of Anghiari, the simmering conflict among Italy’s principal powers exploded into a battle whereby Florence and the papal States joined with Venice to defeat the previously unstoppable army of Milan. The shocking denoument would open the way for the flowering of Florentine culture, and the birth of what we now know as the Renaissance. There was, perhaps, no stunning evidence of this than a massive painting by Leonardo da Vinci commemorating the Battle of Anghiari, a masterpiece that quickly became famous—but then was mysteriously lost. Until recently, that is, when researchers made a breathtaking discovery of the location where it has been hidden for more than four hundred years. In The Day the Renaissance Was Saved, Niccolò Capponi—a direct descendent of Niccolò Machiavelli, as well as of a Florentine general who was a key strategist of the campaign at Anghiari—weaves the story of da Vinci’s lost masterpiece through the narrative of the history-changing battle, and offers context on the development of humanist thought and the political intrigues of fifteenth-century Italy. Complete with maps and twenty-four color images, this is military history, political history, and art history all rolled into one, from a scholar whose ancestors were key players in the scheming, plotting, and fighting that led to this pivotal moment in Western history. From the Hardcover edition.

Download or read book The Renaissance written by Henry Freeman and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Renaissance During the Middle Ages, the nations of Europe forged new identities that moved them away from the lost glory of the Roman Empire into their own ethnicity. The experience of maturation was often clumsy and out of step, an evolutionary process that saw the nation's developing at their own pace as they struggled to replace the protection of Rome with their own home-grown strength. What the nations, once they were ready to be described in that manner, did have was the Roman Catholic Church, which defined itself as the spiritual protector of Christian believers. But the dutiful Christians of the Middle Ages who sought orthodoxy and for the most part obeyed the papal rules underwent a change when the Middle Ages ended. The Renaissance, or rebirth, was a period of time when Europeans began to question what they had been told was sacrosanct. Through art, inventions, science, literature, and theology, the separate nations of the European continent sought answers that the Roman Catholic Church was unwilling, or perhaps unable, to offer. Inside you will read about... - The Rebirth of Europe - The Italian Renaissance - The French Renaissance - The Spanish Renaissance - The German Renaissance - The Low Countries Renaissance - The English Renaissance - Here Be Dragons: Exploring the Unknown The Church that had become a powerful political entity was viewed with distrust and skepticism by many Christians; the spread of learning that accompanied the invention of Gutenberg's printing press meant that bold new ideas were traveling across the boundaries of Europe faster than the Church could silence them. Lascivious, power-brokering popes could not bring a halt to the challenges they encountered when a German priest rebelled against corrupt practices that masqueraded as ecclesiastical authority. As the walls came tumbling down, humanism burst forth, inspiring the art of Michelangelo, the science of Vesalius, the literature of Shakespeare and Cervantes. But with the loss of religious uniformity came terrible conflicts: France suffered the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre; Spain welcomed the Inquisition to purge heresy; the Low Countries were split between Catholic and Protestant. The Renaissance was a triumph of the human spirit and a confirmation of human ability, even as it affirmed the willingness of men and women to die for the right to think freely.
Book Synopsis This is Not Leonardo Da Vinci by : Riccardo Magnani
Download or read book This is Not Leonardo Da Vinci written by Riccardo Magnani and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite so much being written about Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance, many questions about the Tuscan artist's life and works remain shrouded in mystery: Why isn't the painting exhibited at the Louvre Museum the Mona Lisa? Why do we find so many pagan symbols in Leonardo's Christian representations? Was Leonardo really the son of a notary and a slave? Why is there such a lack of work from Leonardo's early life-perhaps his most important period? Why do we have paintings of the Americas well before the first trips of Christopher Columbus? Riccardo Magnani, economist-turned-Leonardo expert, reconstructs the political and economic world around da Vinci, illustrating how he was influenced by the biggest "discovery" of all, the Americas. This is not Leonardo provides the key to understanding Leonardo's visual language, within the context of the Renaissance and its artists-essential to fully comprehend his work and the many clues he left behind. Magnani reveals little-known facts about Leonardo's education, long suppressed by the Catholic Church-from his use of iconography of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Byzantines, to his influence by the Neoplatonic movement led by George Gemistus. Thanks to the new insights presented by This is not Leonardo, the dogmatic prism that our Western society has employed for so long to understand Leonardo da Vinci can now finally be challenged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonardo da Vinci achieved great things in the areas of Renaissance painting and sculpture, engineering, cartography, astronomy, geology, botany, human anatomy, history and many other areas. Uncharacteristically for the time, he traveled quite widely and worked in many disparate subject areas, because he did not really consider himself to be primarily a painter, even though he is best remembered today as the painter of two of the most critical pieces of renaissance art.Inside you'll read about Early life Apprenticeship with Verrocchio Leonardo, Master of his Craft Mastery of Chiaroscuro Working in Milan Human Anatomy Flight from Milan Return to Florence Military Engineer for Cesare Borgia The Battle of Anchiaro Sojourn in Milan Rome Final Years Leonardo's Private Life And much more!Leonardo had some strange attributes: he was left-handed at a time when this was not widely accepted as appropriate, he was gay at a time when it was not only socially unacceptable but illegal, and he was a free thinker at a time when northern Italian society was extremely stratified. We are about to embark on a journey through the known life and work of the world's greatest creative genius, examining many of the lesser known facts of his creative and personal life.
