Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great museum is not only a collection of works of art or artefacts of various interest and various importance: it is also a living organism which has its own history to tell. And if the museum is of ancient origin, this can be of great fascination in itself. It is enough to think of a collections formation; of its progressive development which, over the centuries, takes account of, and is shaped by, the cultural interests of the time. Or of the acquisition, sometimes fortuitous, of the various works. Or of the changing tastes reflected in their display, and the various methods used in their restoration; or of the political developments or doctrinal implications in which the museum may find itself involved. The Vatican Museums, whose origins go back to the early 16th century, exemplify all these concerns in a particularly comprehensive and fascinating way. Their initial formation, almost in the character of a private collection; their threatened dispersal in the Counter-Reformation; their recovery under the impetus of the intellectual revival in the 18th century; their development, also in defence of the artistic patrimony of the State threatened by exports, at the end of the same century; their subsequent enlargement up to more recent times, thanks to the distinguished patronage of the various Popes; and lastly their incorporation, at times exemplary, in the context of the Vatican Palaces, first with Simonettis Museo Pio-Clementino, then with Sterns Braccio Nuovo and more recently with Beltramis Pinacoteca and Passarellis Museo Paolino: all this constitutes not only a field of study, comparison, and reflection, but also at times an example which others have followed. The present book, ideally, would have required a far more extensive archival documentation than the author has been able to consult. It is to be hoped that the systematic exploration of the huge, but very scattered, archival sources available may make it possible in future to update, or to amplify, those parts of the book that were unable to benefit from this irreplaceable support. It may be claimed, nonetheless, that it has proved possible to reconstruct the history of the Vatican Museums in sufficient detail, and that this book may prove useful at a time when the history of collecting is arousing increasing interest.

Book excerpt: The 2018 anniversary of the death of the illustrious art historian and archaeologist Johann Joachim Winckelmann constitutes for the Vatican Museums the opportunity to prepare a ?diffused? exhibition for which this volume, produced in Italian and in English, is intended as a concise informative catalogue aimed addressed to the general public of visitors.0In addition to the celebration of his person and his aesthetic thought, the leitmotif of the catalogue and exhibition is the great German scholar?s relationship with the Pope?s Museums during his stay in Rome, and in especially with the treasures preserved here.0The themes include his illuminating Roman stay, the systematization of the history of Egyptian art, the importance of Etruscan art, his love of classical art, the influence of Winckelmann?s thought on the restoration of ancient works, the experience of direct analysis of the works, attendance of the Vatican Library, and the development of neoclassicism.0The catalogue includes the fifty most representative Vatican works in Winckelmann?s studies, many of which are presented as an example of the achievement of artistic perfection: the Apollo of the Belvedere, the Laocoön, the Hermes.0The works are presented in in-depth technical notes which, in addition to providing basic data ? date, location of the find, collocation and inventory numbers ? also offer an iconographic and stylistic description enriched by the critical point of view of the German scholar.00Exhibition: Musei Vaticani, Rome, Italy (09.11.2018-09.03.2019).

Download or read book The Vatican written by Ernesto Begni and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vatican: Its History-Its Treasures by Ernesto Begni is an interesting look into the history, and lore of the Vatican, located just outside of Rome, Italy. An icon of the Catholic Church, the Vatican has been a symbol of both power and of mystery and provided thousands of years worth of controversy and conciliation. This book is an attempt to dispel some of those mysteries and offer the reader a rare glimpse into the majesty found within the walls of this hallowed institution. Begni's book begins an abridged version of the history of the Vatican and a brief general description of the sprawling Vatican palaces visible from miles around, after which is a summary of the Vatican palaces and gardens describing in intricate detail their majesty and design. The book also covers the various state apartments and chapels such as the Chapel of Nicholas, the Sistine Chapel, the Pauline Chapel, the Appartamento, the Stanze of Raphael, and the Loggie of Raphael; including a litany of historical facts and artifacts housed in each. The book also discusses the Vatican museums, collections, and the mosaic factory, including in-depth reviews of the New Picture Gallery, the Gallery of Tapestries, the Egyptian Museum, the Gregorian Etruscan Museum, the Museum of Sculpture and Ancient Paintings, the Gallery of Inscriptions, and the Christian Museum. Of course, treasures aren't only artistic or architectural, and Begni makes a point to explore the massive collections and library house at the Vatican, including the Numismatic collection, the Hall of the Geographical Charts, the Vatican Library and the Vatican Secret Archives. Finally, the book finishes with an in-depth discussion of the Vatican administration and influences of politics and religious shifts over the centuries. The Vatican: Its History-Its Treasures is a complete source for information on all things Vatican. This book holds a great amount of interesting information for those interested in Vatican secrets and mysteries, whether it's politics, history, art, literature, or architecture. With a veritable wellspring of information and plenty of gorgeous illustration, this text is a great choice for any reader interested in the Vatican and looking behind the veil of mystery.

Book excerpt: A book at the intersection of data science and media studies, presenting concepts and methods for computational analysis of cultural data. How can we see a billion images?

Download or read book High Renaissance Art in St. Peter's and the Vatican written by George L. Hersey and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1993-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michelangelo, Raphael, Bramante—together these artists created some of the most glorious treasures of the Vatican, viewed daily by thousands of tourists. But how many visitors understand the way these artworks reflect the passions, dreams, and struggles of the popes who commissioned them? For anyone making an artistic pilgrimage to the High Renaissance splendors of the Vatican, George L. Hersey's book is the ideal guide. Before starting the tour of individual works, Hersey describes how the treacherously shifting political and religious alliances of sixteenth-century Italy, France, and Spain played themselves out in the Eternal City. He offers vivid accounts of the lives and personalities of four popes, each a great patron of art and architecture: Julius II, Leo X, Clement VII, and Paul III. He also tells of the complicated rebuilding and expanding of St. Peter's, a project in which Bramante, Raphael, and Michelangelo all took part. Having set the historical scene, Hersey then explores the Vatican's magnificent Renaissance art and architecture. In separate chapters, organized spatially, he leads the reader through the Cortile del Belvedere and Vatican Museums, with their impressive holdings of statuary and paintings; the richly decorated Stanze and Logge of Raphael; and Michelangelo's Last Judgment and newly cleaned Sistine Chapel ceiling. A fascinating final chapter entitled "The Tragedy of the Tomb" recounts the vicissitudes of Michelangelo's projected funeral monument to Julius II. Hersey is never content to simply identify the subject of a painting or sculpture. He gives us the story behind the works, telling us what their particular themes signified at the time for the artist, the papacy, and the Church. He also indicates how the art was received by contemporaries and viewed by later generations. Generously illustrated and complete with a useful chronology, High Renaissance Art in St. Peter's and the Vatican is a valuable reference for any traveler to Rome or lover of Italian art who has yearned for a single-volume work more informative and stimulating than ordinary guidebooks. At the same time, Hersey's many anecdotes and intriguing comparisons with works outside the Vatican will provide new insights even for specialists.
