  • Byzantine Art and Architecture
    Byzantine Art and Architecture Thesis The development of early Christian religion had a significant impact on western art after the fall of the Roman Empire in the 4th century (AD). Through examining various works of art and architecture, it becomes evident that the period of Byzantium marked a significant transition in aesthetic conventions which had a previous focus on Roman elements. As this research entails, the period of Byzantium acted as a link between the periods of Antiquity and the Middle Ages and thus provides insight on the impact of Christianity and its prevalence in art and architecture during this vast historical period.

  • New Evidence on the Origin of the Influence of Nietzsche and of the Idea of Immanent
    fig. 1 G. de Chirico, Scatola di cerini e sigarette, ca 1904-1906 13 New Evidence on the Origin of the Influence of Nietzsche and of the Idea of Immanent Myth in Giorgio de Chirico: Mavìlis, Palamàs and the Early XX Century Athens Literary Scene Fabio Benzi There have been many attempts at identifying an influence of the Greek milieu on the young Gior- gio de Chirico. From his birth (1888) to his late adolescence, the artist lived in Greece, in Volos and especially Athens, until he moved to Munich in October 1906. So, he spent the first eighteen years of life – undoubtedly a formative moment for any young intellectual – mostly in Athens, where he also completed his first artistic studies in the Academy of Fine Arts of the Polytechnic School. As might be expected, research aimed at contextualizing and furthering the knowledge of pos- sible Hellenic influences on de Chirico’s artistic activity has focused so far on the specific analysis of the local painting scene, although with little or less than significant results. To be sure, we are not aware of any extant early painting from his Greek period, except for a negligible, small still life painted on cardboard, depicting a box of matches with a lit cigarette leaning against it (fig. 1); the verso shows an earlier copy of a detail of a chromolithography by Bel- gian painter Jan van Beers (Lier, 27 March 1852-Fay- aux-Loges, 17 November 1927), which we have iden- tified here (figs. 2, 3).1 If this copy is an example of the nearly photographic unyielding adherence by a young artist who might have not yet attended the academy, the small oil is actually a genre exercise, probably painted while de Chirico was still a student.

  • Giotto and the Early Italian Resistance Dr Valerie Shrimplin 16 February
    Giotto and the Early Italian Resistance Dr Valerie Shrimplin 16 February 2021 Olive groves and cypress trees, pageants and festivals, peasants and popes, kings and princes, plotting and poisonings, magnificent palaces and highly painted churches – the Medici, Michelangelo and Machiavelli - are the exciting images aroused by the term Italian Renaissance. The Renaissance was a period of exceptional growth and change - culturally, intellectually, economically and politically – that was reflected in the art and architecture of the time. This overview of Early Renaissance art will focus on painting but also touch on architecture and sculpture where relevant. Consideration of artworks, from early Italo-Byzantine examples to the late Trecento (1300s, ie 14th century), will convey the ‘Spirit of the Age’ and its relevance for future art and architecture. Discussion of the content, style and form of early Renaissance painting, as well as religious, classical and and philosophical writings, will demonstrate the importance of the classical tradition and its revival in Renaissance Italy. Well-known examples will be referenced throughout, using images that are accessible in art galleries, such as the Renaissance collection in the Sainsbury wing at the National Gallery (NG), The Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) and major European galleries and venues in Florence (Uffizi, UF), Milan, Rome, Venice etc (and also on the internet). The Purpose of Art History: Why Study History of Art? Firstly, however, it is relevant to consider the study of history of art in general, after which the ‘Proto-Renaissance’ and the different styles and approaches by Giotto, his predecessors and successors, can be considered. The History of Art enables increased understanding of art works, helping us ‘to see’ rather than just ‘to look.’ The artistic elements are crucial: to consider style, form and materials, but the context and time and place of creation can also be vital for understanding a work’s deeper meaning.

  • Framing the Holy: Revetments on Late Byzantine Icons
    Framing the Holy: Revetments on Late Byzantine Icons by Elizabeth Yoder Moss A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Elizabeth Yoder Moss 2016 Framing the Holy: Revetments on Late Byzantine Icons Elizabeth Yoder Moss Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This study examines icon revetments produced during the late Byzantine period (1261–1453), situating them within the diversity of mixed-media, multisensory, and multivalent devotional images that combined personal piety with conspicuous consumption and the public spectacle of lavish patronage. These works are evidence of the “ornamental turn”—a paradigm shift marked by the increase of ornament on visual works that mediated wealth, spiritual devotion, and social power. Revetted icons do not make arguments about the faithful representation of prototypes; they make arguments about faithful veneration. Beginning with a historiographic study of ornament, the thesis examines how the ornamental vocabulary on revetments manifests relationships between specific decorated icons. Indices of ornament motifs and a catalogue of surviving icon revetments and frames from the eleventh through fifteenth centuries constitute the appendices. In chapter 2, I argue that the previously unstudied decorated strips added to the icon of the Mother of God Hodegetria in Ohrid were part of a larger project aimed at legitimizing Serbian emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (r. 1331–55) and his archbishop Nicholas in Ohrid. They structured their leadership in the Balkans on their contemporaries in Constantinople. In chapter 3, I present a new reading of the dedicatory prayers inscribed on the icon of the Mother of God in Freising.
