Book Synopsis Singing of Arms and Men by : Kelley Harness

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equestrian ballets (balletti a cavallo), although little known today, emerged as valued dramatic entertainments in early modern Europe, capable of demonstrating the wealth and magnificence of the patrons who commissioned them as well as the horsemanship and military skills of the noblemen who rode in them. Although the horse ballet did not originate in Florence, that city--and its ruling grand dukes, the Medici--acquired a reputation for excellence in the genre. Between 1608 and 1686, the court commissioned horse ballets to commemorate important state events such as Medici weddings or visits by foreign visitors. In Singing of Arms and Men, author Kelley Harness undertakes the first comprehensive study of the seventeenth-century Florentine horse ballets. She demonstrates how these works communicated messages relevant to the occasions for which they were performed, delivered by means of texts sung in styles similar to contemporary opera and punctuated by choreography and dramatic structure. Mock battles fought with swords and pistols animated audiences but also provided visible instances of conflict, which were then interrupted by the sudden arrival of a deus ex machina, who commanded the combatants to instead join forces to defeat a common enemy. The knights then demonstrated newfound cooperation through their creation of choreographed figures danced on horseback in time to music. Documentary evidence confirms that the Medici family expended significant financial and human resources on these one-time events, revealing just how much work it took to appear effortless. Ultimately, Harness shows how the balletto a cavallo played a crucial role in Medici self-fashioning during the period, and that the 250 noblemen invited to lend their equestrian skills both confirmed their family's relationship to the Medici and were provided a venue for demonstrating critical markers of masculine nobility.

Book Synopsis Women’s Patronage and Gendered Cultural Networks in Early Modern Europe by : Adelina Modesti
Download or read book Women’s Patronage and Gendered Cultural Networks in Early Modern Europe written by Adelina Modesti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the sociocultural networks between the courts of early modern Italy and Europe, focusing on the Florentine Medici court, and the cultural patronage and international gendered networks developed by the Grand Duchess of Tuscany, Vittoria della Rovere. Adelina Modesti uses Grand Duchess Vittoria as an exemplar of pan-European 'matronage' and proposes a new matrilineal model of patronage in the early modern period, one in which women become not only the mediators but also the architects of public taste and the transmitters of cultural capital. The book will be the first comprehensive monographic study of this important cultural figure. This study will be of interest to scholars working in art history, gender studies, Renaissance studies and seventeenth-century Italy.
Book Synopsis Margherita Costa, Diva of the Baroque Court by : Jessica Goethals
Download or read book Margherita Costa, Diva of the Baroque Court written by Jessica Goethals and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-10-02 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman singer, courtesan, and writer Margherita Costa won prominence and fame across the courts of Italy and France during the mid-seventeenth century. She secured a steady stream of elite patrons – including popes, queens, grand dukes, and influential cardinals – while male poets and librettists wrote celebratory poetry on her behalf. In addition to her appearances as a soprano on the opera stage, Costa published a remarkable fourteen full-length texts across an expanse of genres: burlesque comedy, drama, equestrian ballet, pastoral opera, amorous letters, lyric poetry, and history. Margherita Costa, Diva of the Baroque Court brings together close textual readings of Costa’s numerous publications with archival materials detailing her performance itinerary and social-cultural networks. The book progresses chronologically through her life, geographically along the routes she travelled, and thematically via the genres in which she experimented. Jessica Goethals illuminates how Costa was unafraid to leap over the boundaries of decorum that delimited what women should and did write about. More than merely a literary biography, this book is also a portrait of seventeenth-century courts, their concerns, and their entertainments.
Book Synopsis Orto De' Pitti by : Domenico Filardi
Download or read book Orto De' Pitti written by Domenico Filardi and published by Centro Di Edizioni. This book was released on 2007 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume features the Boboli Garden, or 'Orto de' Pitti' as it was known in the earlier times, focusing in particular on the Botanical Garden, one of the lesser known and more fascinating parts of Palazzo Pitti's magnificent 'Royal Park' and one that the author approaches by different and original points of view: historical, botanical, architectural. Boboli's Botanical Garden, which is currently closed to the public, held an impressive quantity of rare plants, most of which have now disappeared; these attracted a variety of people ranging from botanists to pharmacists to natural historians and painters who produced a fascinating amount of texts, plants paintings, prints and studies. Thanks to Domenico Filardi's thorough research, and to the large amount of previously unpublished archival material which the author has dug up, we can now have a greater insight into the secrets of this garden and discover facts, aspects and stories of different kinds, some of which are here approached for the first time, making this publication an essential chapter in the garden history of Italy. Lavishly illustrated with images ranging from ancient prints to paintings to modern photographs, the book fills a gap in the notwithstanding large bibliography devoted to Florence and its treasures. Architect Domenico Filardi was born in Basilicata, in Southern Italy, and studied in Florence and Rome. He has been involved in projects in Italy, Africa, Latin America and Switzerland, and has written for specialist publications. This is his first book. SELLING POINTS: A fantastic book for those interested in the history of plants and rare specimens 60 colour & 40 b/w illustrations

Book excerpt: The theme "L'arme e gli amori" involving Ariosto, Tasso and Guarini was taken up in Florence during the late 16th century, not only as a literary model but as an ideal for aristocratic behavior. It became a favourite subject of academic debate which nourished art, literature and politics in a way that inspired dynastic and civic allegory.
