Book Synopsis "Women, Patronage, and Salvation in Renaissance Florence " by : Stefanie Solum
Download or read book "Women, Patronage, and Salvation in Renaissance Florence " written by Stefanie Solum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long obfuscated by modern definitions of historical evidence and art patronage, Lucrezia Tornabuoni de? Medici?s impact on the visual world of her time comes to light in this book, the first full-length scholarly argument for a lay woman?s contributions to the visual arts of fifteenth-century Florence. This focused investigation of the Medici family?s domestic altarpiece, Filippo Lippi?s Adoration of the Christ Child, is broad in its ramifications. Mapping out the cultural network of gender, piety, and power in which Lippi?s painting was originally embedded, author Stefanie Solum challenges the received wisdom that women played little part in actively shaping visual culture during the Florentine Quattrocento. She uses visual evidence never before brought to bear on the topic to reveal that Lucrezia Tornabuoni - shrewd power-broker, pious poetess, and mother of the 'Magnificent' Lorenzo de? Medici - also had a profound impact on the visual arts. Lucrezia emerges as a fascinating key to understanding the ways in which female lay religiosity created the visual world of Renaissance Florence. The Medici case study establishes, at long last, a robust historical basis for the assertion of women?s agency and patronage in the deeply patriarchal and artistically dynamic society of Quattrocento Florence. As such, it offers a new paradigm for the understanding, and future study, of female patronage during this period.
Download or read book Necromancer written by George Herman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-07 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A charismatic priest suddenly appears in Rome and claims to be both holy man and a master of black arts. He conducts "summonings" in the old Roman Coliseum where thousands of demons appear and call for the deaths of certain cardinals and eventually the Pope, Alexander VI-all are realized within days. With help from forbidden books in monastery libraries, and the undercover investigations of street urchins known as Vavias, Leonardo uncovers the tricks used to create the demon illusions. At the request of Cesare Borgia and Cardinal della Rovere, Leonardo challenges the priest to a battle of magic, which exposes the tricks. The outcome puts Leonardo in danger of being entombed alive.
Book Synopsis The Italian Short Story through the Centuries by : Roberto Nicosia
Download or read book The Italian Short Story through the Centuries written by Roberto Nicosia and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-07 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of thirteen essays brings together Italian and American scholars to present a cooperative analysis of the Italian short story, beginning in the fourteenth century with Giovanni Boccaccio and arriving at the twentieth century with Alberto Moravia and Anna Maria Ortese. Throughout the book, the contributors carefully and intentionally unpack and explain the development of the short story genre and demonstrate the breadth of themes – cultural, historical and linguistic – detailed in these narratives. Dedicated to a genre “devoted to lightness and flexibility, as well as quickness, exactitude, visibility and multiplicity,” this collection paints a careful and exacting picture of an important part of both Italian and literary history.
Book Synopsis The Poet's Wisdom by : Timothy Kircher
Download or read book The Poet's Wisdom written by Timothy Kircher and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the philosophical thinking of Petrarch and Boccaccio in contrast to the writings of contemporary mendicants. Examining both Latin and vernacular works, it investigates how these humanists poetically express the temporal, subjective, and emotional quality of moral sensibility, in a way that shifts to the reader the weight of discerning the ethical message. The book centers its analysis on a series of paradoxes pondered by these humanists: the self that changes yet persists over time; the awareness of self-deception; the individual's validation of authority; and the ethics of pleasure. This study is valuable to those interested in Renaissance philosophy, literature, religion, and the history of ideas.

Download or read book Choice and Change written by John Davis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume in honour of Professor Mair reflects the range of her interests, and those of the Department in which she taught, in many areas of social anthropology, for it reports on research in Africa, Asia and the Mediterranean, on the tensions between tradition and modernity, between the individual and society, deviance and conformity, stability and conflict. The ambiguities of social change and the choices thus presented to individuals are examined in all the essays and issues of modem politics and development dominate most of them.
Download or read book Vivaldi written by Michael Talbot and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1978, the 300th anniversary of Vivaldi's death, there has been an explosion of serious writing about his music, life and times. Much of this has taken the form of articles published in academic journals or conference proceedings, some of which are not easy to obtain. The twenty-two articles selected by Michael Talbot for this volume form a representative selection of the best writing on Vivaldi from the last 30 years, featuring such major figures in Vivaldi research as Reinhard Strohm, Paul Everett, Gastone Vio and Federico Maria Sardelli. Aspects covered include biography, Venetian cultural history, manuscript studies, genre studies and musical analysis. The intention is to serve as a 'first port of call' for those wishing to learn more about Vivaldi or to refresh their existing knowledge. An introduction by Michael Talbot reviews the state of Vivaldi scholarship past and present and comments on the significance of the articles.

Book Synopsis The Space of Memory by : Barbara Gabriella Renzi
Download or read book The Space of Memory written by Barbara Gabriella Renzi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-24 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In 2000, two linguistic endangerment experts, Nettle and Romaine, estimated that among the world’s 6000 languages, only about 600 could be considered safe today. Arbëresh, the language that Barbara Renzi and Elsa Musacchio present to the readers in this volume, is one of those languages in danger of dying, recognized as such in UNESCO’s Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger (2010). The great value of this volume is not limited to the preservation and analysis of cultural heritage through the tales, stories and songs included in it, but also in recording the authentic sound of the Arbëresh language that comes to life in Elsa’s voice as she reads the collected material on a special CD. The availability of this authentic voice to future generations of younger speakers of Arbëresh makes the volume a practical linguistic and cultural tool. And the best service we can pay to courageous works like this is to bring them to young speakers in their schools, without which Arbëresh and other endangered languages have a very small chance of survival.” – Eda Derhemi (PhD), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Download or read book Diamanti written by Enrico Quarto and published by OMBand D.E.. This book was released on 2013-09-09 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il delitto aveva occupato un trafiletto nei giornali cittadini, e nessuno si era presentato a chiedere ragguagli sul progredire delle indagini. “Giovane ucciso durante una rapina” era una di quelle notizie così frequenti, che la gente quasi non ci faceva caso. I giornalisti vi dedicavano le solite cinque righe come studenti svogliati che presentano sempre lo stesso compito a un professore che non ha l’abitudine di correggerli. Adesso però era saltato fuori un diamante, un diamante da un milione di dollari, e i professionisti dell’informazione erano accorsi in massa. Con un milione di dollari addosso anche la morte sembra un’altra. La tranquillità di una cittadina del Middle-West americano è turbata dal ritrovamento di alcuni eccezionali diamanti e da un misterioso delitto. Ha inizio in questo modo una storia destinata a evolversi in maniera imprevedibile. Sulla parodia del genere catastrofista, l’autore costruisce un esempio perfettamente riuscito di romanzo distopico, offrendoci una desolata riflessione sulla società contemporanea. Insieme a Il sogno del prete e Le maschere, Diamanti compone la trilogia Le favole, tre romanzi del tutto autonomi ma accomunati dalla medesima ispirazione e dall’impianto visionario.
