    05_273-611_Homer 2/Aesop 7/10/00 1:25 PM Page 273 HOMER / The Odyssey, Book One 273 THE ODYSSEY Translated by Robert Fitzgerald The ten-year war waged by the Greeks against Troy, culminating in the overthrow of the city, is now itself ten years in the past. Helen, whose flight to Troy with the Trojan prince Paris had prompted the Greek expedition to seek revenge and reclaim her, is now home in Sparta, living harmoniously once more with her husband Meneláos (Menelaus). His brother Agamémnon, commander in chief of the Greek forces, was murdered on his return from the war by his wife and her paramour. Of the Greek chieftains who have survived both the war and the perilous homeward voyage, all have returned except Odysseus, the crafty and astute ruler of Ithaka (Ithaca), an island in the Ionian Sea off western Greece. Since he is presumed dead, suitors from Ithaka and other regions have overrun his house, paying court to his attractive wife Penélopê, endangering the position of his son, Telémakhos (Telemachus), corrupting many of the servants, and literally eating up Odysseus’ estate. Penélopê has stalled for time but is finding it increasingly difficult to deny the suitors’ demands that she marry one of them; Telémakhos, who is just approaching young manhood, is becom- ing actively resentful of the indignities suffered by his household. Many persons and places in the Odyssey are best known to readers by their Latinized names, such as Telemachus. The present translator has used forms (Telémakhos) closer to the Greek spelling and pronunciation.

From Vasari s perspective, the earlier generation had provided the groundwork that enabled sixteenth-century artists to surpass the age of the ancients. Later artists and critics agreed Leonardo, Bramante, Michelangelo, Raphael, Giorgione, and with Vasari s judgment that the artists who worked in the decades Titian were all sought after in early sixteenth-century Italy, and just before and after 1500 attained a perfection in their art worthy the two who lived beyond 1520, Michelangelo and Titian, were of admiration and emulation. internationally celebrated during their lifetimes.

  • The Sensuous in the Counter-Reformation Church Edited by Marcia B
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-01323-0 - The Sensuous in the Counter-Reformation Church Edited by Marcia B. Hall and Tracy E. Cooper Frontmatter More information THE SENSUOUS IN THE COUNTER-REFORMATION CHURCH This book examines the promotion of the sensuous as part of religious experience in the Roman Catholic Church of the early modern period. During the Counter-Reformation, every aspect of religious and devotional practice, including the role of art and architecture, was reviewed and the invocation of the fi ve senses to incite devotion became a hotly contested topic. Protestants condemned the material cult of veneration of relics and images, rejecting the importance of emotion and the senses and instead promoting the power of rea- son in receiving the Word of God. After much debate, the Church concluded that the senses are necessary to appreciate the sublime and that they derive from the Holy Spirit. As part of its attempt to win back the faithful, the Church embraced the sensuous and promoted the use of images, relics, liturgy, proces- sions, music, and theater as important parts of religious experience. Marcia B. Hall is The Carnell Professor of Renaissance Art History and Dir- ector of Graduate Studies at Tyler School of Art, Temple University. She is the author and editor of several books, including The Sacred Image in the Age of Art: Titian, Tintoretto, Barocci, El Greco, Caravaggio ; After Raphael ; and Renovation and Counter Reformation: Vasari and Duke Cosimo in Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce, 1564–77 . Tracy E. Cooper is Professor of Art History at Tyler School of Art, Temple University.

  • Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Acquires Watershed Work by Paul Sérusier Painting Bridges Impressionism and Modern Art
    COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION VIRGINIA MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS 200 N. Arthur Ashe Blvd. I Richmond, Virginia 23220 www.VMFA.museum/pressroom ++++++++++++++FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 27, 2020 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Acquires Watershed Work by Paul Sérusier Painting Bridges Impressionism and Modern Art Paul Sérusier, The Three-Pond Cottage at Le Pouldu, 1889. Collection of Virginia Museum of Fine Arts ​ ​ Richmond, Virginia––The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) announced today that it has acquired The Three-Pond Cottage at Le Pouldu, an ambitious painting by Paul Sérusier (1864-1927), a pioneering Post-Impressionist who inspired ​ the Nabis art movement and helped revolutionize 19th-century French art. During the summer of 1888 Sérusier, a student at the Académie Julian, a renowned private art school in Paris, traveled to Pont-Aven (Brittany, northwestern France), a small artist enclave where Paul Gauguin agreed to take him as an apprentice. Rejecting the approach of Impressionists who focused on the light, color and shading to give visual dimension to a subject, Gauguin had already begun to distill subjects to their essence, formed by bold, flat planes of color and contour lines, a style that came to be known as Cloisonnism. Gauguin also delved into Synthetism, a style which sought to explore and visually convey poetry, spirituality and emotion. Working with Gauguin was a ​ transformative experience for Sérusier, helping him expand his own artistic vision. Sérusier returned to Paris with an unfinished work, created under Gaugin’s direction, that reduced a view of Aven River and the adjoining wooded area to its elemental components. The result was profoundly innovative, sensational and influential.
