    Top Ten Most Influential People Samantha Wall Ten - Mansa Musa I ● Ruler of the Mali Empire (1312 - 1337) ● Controlled territories rich in copper and gold ● Brought back scholars and architects from his pilgrimage to Mecca who built mosque and universities ● Army around 100,000 men helped him double the territory of Mali (second in size to the Mongol Empire at that time) Mansa Musa is ten because I wasn’t convinced that he did much to influence those after him. Most only know him for being the richest man and giving gold to the poor. Nine - Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) ● Italian polymath of the Renaissance ● Painted the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper ● Had groundbreaking studies on optics and perspective ● Fused science and art to create works that become part of humanity’s story ● He designed helicopter screw and things for flying machines Da Vinci is ninth because his work is still being studied today. Whether it‘s his paintings or his machine designs. He’s one of the most known painters of his time. Eight - Joan of Arc (1412-1431) ● Peasant girl living in medieval France ● Believed that God had chosen her to lead France to victory in its long-running war with England ● Joan was captured by Anglo-Burgundian forces, tried for witchcraft and heresy and burned at the stake ● Symbol of French unity and nationalism ● Known as the Maid of Orléans Joan of Arc is eight because she helped win the Hundred Years War. She was able to accomplish so much even though she was only nineteen.

  • 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.

Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano (Italy) and INFN, Sezione Milano-Bicocca. 3 CNR-IFN,piazza L. da Vinci, 20132 Milano (Italy). *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Non-invasive, portable analytical techniques are becoming increasingly widespread for the study and conservation in the field of cultural heritage, proving that a good data handling, supported by a deep knowledge of the techniques themselves, and the right synergy can give surprisingly substantial results when using portable but reliable instrumentation. 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.

  • Concepts to Glass Realities 15 November 2000
    MILAN GLASS SYMPOSIUM CONCEPTS TO GLASS REALITIES 15 NOVEMBER 2000 IAN RITCHIE Introduction It has been suggested that my contribution to this symposium should cover recent developments in UK glass architecture. As a long introduction before addressing some recent examples in the UK, I would like to focus on the importance of conceptual thinking. Although I have a reputation for original thinking, and perhaps audacious glass structures, the essence of my architectural research is finding better ways of synthesizing space with materials, of which light is the most fundamental. Glass is an extraordinary material whose uses and manipulation by man seems inexhaustible from telling stories to making electricity. However, before I embark on the subject of glass, I would like to précis its place in architecture. Understanding the context is the first investigation of architecture. The context is both sensual and physical. It is concerned with people, with geology as the fundamental source of materials and the sites upon which we build, and light as the sublime material of architecture. Architectural investigations also take place within the context of an existing economic, political, social and industrial framework, which has to be understood in order to define potential and limits. These investigations have to take place recognizing both the need for a sense of freedom and a sense of discipline. A blank sheet paralyzes creativity. The context (or parts of it) acts as the conceptual trigger to creative freedom. The context imparts the discipline. Innovation in architecture works through the investigation of memory and the way buildings are constructed. Innovation occurs because of necessity, not for its own sake.

  • Hekking's Mona Lisa at Christie's Paris
    « PRESS RELEASE - PARIS – THURSDAY 27 MAY 2021 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hekking’s Mona Lisa at Christie’s Paris Online sale from 11 to 18 June 2021 EARLY 17TH CENTURY ITALIAN SCHOOL, FOLLOWER OF LEONARDO DE VINCI Hekking’s Mona Lisa Oil on canvas Estimate : €200,000-300,000 Paris - Christie's is pleased to present a famous early replica of the Mona Lisa in this beautiful interpretation known as the Hekking's Mona Lisa, named after its owner in the 1950s, Raymond Hekking (1866-1977), who acquired it from an antique dealer in a small village in the Nice area. This work and its history illustrate the fascination that the Mona Lisa and the aura of Leonardo da Vinci have always held. Consigned in the south of France through our regional representative Fabienne Albertini, this spectacular work of art with its incredible history and quality of execution is estimated at €200,000- 300,000. Pierre Etienne, International Director of Old Master Paintings: "Art challenges, fascinates, sometimes obsesses. Hekking's Mona Lisa that we are pleased to present bears the name of its owner and inventor, Mr Raymond Hekking (1886 - 1977). She is the perfect illustration of the fascination the Mona Lisa has always inspired and which she exerts more and more. She is the dream of a man with a passion for art. She is his Ideal. Raymond Hekking was her staunch defender among art historians and the world's media in the 1960s. She will be his Muse, he will be her Poet.” Raymond Hekking fascinated the world's media by trying to cast doubt on the authenticity of the original, on panel, preserved in the Louvre Museum in favour of his work.
