  • 3 LEONARDO Di Strinati Tancredi ING.Key
    THE WORKS OF ART IN THE AGE OF DIGITAL REPRODUCTION THE THEORETICAL BACKGROUND The Impossible Exhibitions project derives from an instance of cultural democracy that has its precursors in Paul Valéry, Walter Benjamin and André Malraux. The project is also born of the awareness that in the age of the digital reproducibility of the work of art, the concepts of safeguarding and (cultural and economic) evaluation of the artistic patrimony inevitably enter not only the work as itself, but also its reproduction: “For a hundred years here, as soon as the history of art has escaped specialists, it has been the history of what can be photographed” (André Malraux). When one artist's work is spread over various museums, churches and private collections in different continents, it becomes almost impossible to mount monograph exhibitions that give a significant overall vision of the great past artist's work. It is even harder to create great exhibitions due to the museum directors’ growing – and understandable – unwillingness to loan the works, as well as the exorbitant costs of insurance and special security measures, which are inevitable for works of incalculable value. Impossible Exhibitions start from these premises. Chicago, Loyola University Museum of Art, 2005 Naples, San Domenico Maggiore, 2013/2014 THE WORKS OF ART IN THE AGE OF DIGITAL REPRODUCTION THE PROJECT In a single exhibition space, Impossible Exhibitions present a painter's entire oeuvre in the form of very high definition reproductions, making use of digital technology permitting reproductions that fully correspond to the original works. Utmost detail resolution, the rigorously 1:1 format (Leonardo's Last Supper reproduction occupies around 45 square meters!), the correct print tone – certified by a renowned art scholar – make these reproductions extraordinarily close to the originals.

In this work, pigment characterization was carried out on twenty-one Leonardesque paintings applying in situ XRF and FORS analyses. In-depth data evaluation allowed to get information on the colour palette and the painting technique of the different authors and workshops. Particular attention was paid to green pigments (for which a deeper study of possible pigments and alterations was performed with FORS analyses), flesh tones (for which a comparison with available data from cross sections was made) and ground preparation. Keywords pXRF, FORS, pigments, Leonardo’s workshop, Italian Renaissance INTRODUCTION “Tristo è quel discepolo che non ava[n]za il suo maestro” - Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master - Leonardo da Vinci, Libro di Pittura, about 1493 1. 1 The influence of Leonardo on his peers during his activity in Milan (1482-1499 and 1506/8-1512/3) has been deep and a multitude of painters is grouped under the name of leonardeschi , but it is necessary to distinguish between his direct pupils and those who adopted his manner, fascinated by his works even outside his circle.

  • The Italian High Renaissance (Florence and Rome, 1495-1520)
    The Italian High Renaissance (Florence and Rome, 1495-1520) The Artist as Universal Man and Individual Genius By Susan Behrends Frank, Ph.D. Associate Curator for Research The Phillips Collection What are the new ideas behind the Italian High Renaissance? • Commitment to monumental interpretation of form with the human figure at center stage • Integration of form and space; figures actually occupy space • New medium of oil allows for new concept of luminosity as light and shadow (chiaroscuro) in a manner that allows form to be constructed in space in a new way • Physiological aspect of man developed • Psychological aspect of man explored • Forms in action • Dynamic interrelationship of the parts to the whole • New conception of the artist as the universal man and individual genius who is creative in multiple disciplines Michelangelo The Artists of the Italian High Renaissance Considered Universal Men and Individual Geniuses Raphael- Self-Portrait Leonardo da Vinci- Self-Portrait Michelangelo- Pietà- 1498-1500 St. Peter’s, Rome Leonardo da Vinci- Mona Lisa (Lisa Gherardinidi Franceso del Giacondo) Raphael- Sistine Madonna- 1513 begun c. 1503 Gemäldegalerie, Dresden Louvre, Paris Leonardo’s Notebooks Sketches of Plants Sketches of Cats Leonardo’s Notebooks Bird’s Eye View of Chiana Valley, showing Arezzo, Cortona, Perugia, and Siena- c. 1502-1503 Storm Breaking Over a Valley- c. 1500 Sketch over the Arno Valley (Landscape with River/Paesaggio con fiume)- 1473 Leonardo’s Notebooks Studies of Water Drawing of a Man’s Head Deluge- c. 1511-12 Leonardo’s Notebooks Detail of Tank Sketches of Tanks and Chariots Leonardo’s Notebooks Flying Machine/Helicopter Miscellaneous studies of different gears and mechanisms Bat wing with proportions Leonardo’s Notebooks Vitruvian Man- c.

Tate 84.3 1 Brooks Education (901)544.6215 Explore. Engage. Experience. Dear Teachers, On this tour we will examine and explore the world of Renaissance and Baroque art. The French word renaissance is translated as “rebirth” and is described by many as one of the most significant intellectual movements of our history. Whereas the Baroque period is described by many as a time of intense drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in art. By comparing and contrasting the works made in this period students gain a greater sense of the history of European art and the great minds behind it. Many notable artists, musicians, scientists, and writers emerged from this period that are still relished and discussed today. Artists and great thinkers such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Michaelangelo Meisi da Caravaggio, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, Dante Alighieri, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Galileo Galilei were working in their respective fields creating beautiful and innovative works. Many of these permanent collection works were created in the traditional fashion of egg tempera and oil painting which the students will get an opportunity to try in our studio.

  • This Raphael Is for Real
    This Raphael is for real In the pinks: The National's Madonna. Photo: National Gallery, London For the next three months, Raphael's Madonna of the Pinks, acquired in March by the National Gallery for £22m, can be seen in our new exhibition Raphael: From Urbino to Rome, alongside 37 other paintings by the young artist. This provides an unequalled opportunity to examine the claims by Professor James Beck, reported in yesterday's Times, that this painting is not by Raphael. When a painting is as expensive as Madonna of the Pinks, it is to be expected that the gallery's decision to acquire it should be properly scrutinised. But the questions asked of the picture need to be the right ones. One person's opinion, however vociferously expressed, isn't sufficient reason to doubt a picture's authenticity. The story of the rediscovery of the painting is well known. Dr Nicholas Penny, then working at the National Gallery and the author of a major monograph on Raphael, noticed the picture on a visit to Alnwick in 1991. It had long been regarded as the best surviving copy of a lost composition by Raphael; no art historian believed it was by Raphael himself. But Penny thought it worth borrowing for examination in the gallery's scientific department. By the early 1990s, the National Gallery had recognised that a connoisseur's judgment needs to be backed up by science. Only by examining the way Raphael's painting was made could we abandon the idea that the picture was a copy. Penny found that a remarkable free drawing, very like many of Raphael's works on paper, lay under the paint.
