    http://www.amatterofmind.us/ PIERRE BEAUDRY’S GALACTIC PARKING LOT ANDREA DI BONAIUTO, THOMAS AQUINAS, AND THE UNITY OF OPPOSITES An epistemological experiment of axiomatic change in artistic composition. By Pierre Beaudry, 7/23/17 INTRODUCTION The difference between Raphael de Sanzio and Andrea di Bonaiuto in their artistic treatments of the fundamental differences between Plato and Aristotle is a matter of great importance for the epistemology of axiomatics, because it is timeless. Raphael explicitly represented the two philosophers in his painting, The School of Athens, as two opposite figures, one pointing upward to the domain of ideas and the other pointing downward to the domain of the senses. Almost a hundred and fifty years before, Andrea di Bonaiuto painted three frescos representing the same difference through a process of axiomatic transformation from one to the other in his masterful composition in the Spanish Chapel, in Florence. Imagine yourself entering the Spanish Chapel of Santa Maria Novella in Florence with one idea in mind: experiment the axiomatic change that Andrea di Bonaiuto has set the stage for you in three immense frescos. As you enter, your head will tend to start spinning slowly in a spiral motion around the room, from the floor level upward to the pinnacle of the four gothic arches, which meet into a single point at the summit of the room; and then, your mind will spiral back down, Page 1 of 19 http://www.amatterofmind.us/ PIERRE BEAUDRY’S GALACTIC PARKING LOT by inversion, only to start a similar motion, again, through the experiment of examining in detail each of the three frescos.

My thesis offers the first full exploration of the literature and art associated with the Genoese noblewoman Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci (1453-1476). Simonetta has gone down in legend as a model of Sandro Botticelli, and most scholarly discussions of her significance are principally concerned with either proving or disproving this theory. My point of departure, rather, is the series of vernacular poems that were written about Simonetta just before and shortly after her early death. I use them to tell a new story, that of the transformation of the historical monna Simonetta into a cultural icon, a literary and visual construct who served the political, aesthetic and pecuniary agendas of her poets and artists.

  • Giotto Also Known As Giotto Di Bondone Florentine, C
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Italian Paintings of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries Giotto Also known as Giotto di Bondone Florentine, c. 1265 - 1337 BIOGRAPHY An artist who played a decisive role in the development of Italian painting in his century and beyond (his works were studied and copied by masters of the stature of Masaccio and Michelangelo), Giotto was probably born in Florence c. 1265.[1] According to the earlier sources, he was a disciple of Cimabue (c. 1240–1302). His earliest works, such as the painted crucifix in Santa Maria Novella and the Maestà formerly in San Giorgio alla Costa and now in the Museo Diocesano, both in Florence, and especially his biblical frescoes in the upper church of the basilica of San Francesco at Assisi, reveal the strong influence of the Roman school, both contemporary and classical.[2] It seems reasonable to suppose, therefore, that the young Giotto, a well-established painter by the time he presumably executed the abovementioned paintings (1290–1295), had spent a period of formation or apprenticeship in Rome. By the mid-1290s (although some scholars believe it to be somewhat earlier, and others later) he was commissioned to paint the cycle of stories of Saint Francis, again in the basilica at Assisi, and then to compose the great mosaic of the Navicella in the old Saint Peter’s at the Vatican. In c. 1300, Giotto returned once again to Assisi to fresco the Saint Nicholas Chapel, in the lower church of San Francesco. He then worked in the Franciscan church in Rimini, where a painted crucifix by his hand still remains.

  • Early Sources Informing Leon Battista Alberti's De Pictura
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Alberti Before Florence: Early Sources Informing Leon Battista Alberti’s De Pictura A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Art History by Peter Francis Weller 2014 © Copyright by Peter Francis Weller 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Alberti Before Florence: Early Sources Informing Leon Battista Alberti’s De Pictura By Peter Francis Weller Doctor of Philosophy in Art History University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Charlene Villaseñor Black, Chair De pictura by Leon Battista Alberti (1404?-1472) is the earliest surviving treatise on visual art written in humanist Latin by an ostensible practitioner of painting. The book represents a definitive moment of cohesion between the two most conspicuous cultural developments of the early Renaissance, namely, humanism and the visual arts. This dissertation reconstructs the intellectual and visual environments in which Alberti moved before he entered Florence in the curia of Pope Eugenius IV in 1434, one year before the recorded date of completion of De pictura. For the two decades prior to his arrival in Florence, from 1414 to 1434, Alberti resided in Padua, Bologna, and Rome. Examination of specific textual and visual material in those cities – sources germane to Alberti’s humanist and visual development, and thus to the ideas put forth in De pictura – has been insubstantial. This dissertation will therefore present an investigation into the sources available to Alberti in Padua, Bologna and Rome, and will argue that this material helped to shape the prescriptions in Alberti’s canonical Renaissance tract. By more fully accounting for his intellectual and artistic progression before his arrival in Florence, this forensic reconstruction aims to fill a gap in our knowledge of Alberti’s formative years and thereby underline impact of his early career upon his development as an art theorist.

    Dillon With the invention of eyeglasses around 1280 near Pisa, the mundane medium of glass transformed early modern optical technology and visuality. It also significantly influenced contemporaneous art, religion, and science. References to glass are Seeing Renaissance Glass found throughout the Bible and in medieval hagiography and poetry. For instance, glass is mentioned in descriptions of Heavenly Jerusalem, the Beatific Vision, and Art, Optics, and Glass of the Incarnation. At the same time, a well-known Islamic scientific treatise, which Early Modern Italy, 1250–1425 likened a portion of the eye’s anatomy to glass, entered the scientific circles of the Latin West. Amidst this complex web of glass-related phenomena early modern Italian artists used glass in some of their most important artworks but, until now, Seeing Renaissance Glass no study has offered a comprehensive consideration of the important role glass played in shaping the art of the Italian Renaissance. Seeing Renaissance Glass explores how artists such as Giotto, Duccio, Nicola Pisano, Simone Martini, and others employed the medium of glass—whether it be depictions of glass or actual glass in the form of stained glass, gilded glass, and transparent glass—to resonate with the period’s complex visuality and achieve their artistic goals. Such an interdisciplinary approach to the visual culture of early modern Italy is particularly well-suited to an introductory humanities course as well as classes on media studies and late medieval and early Renaissance art history. It is also ideal for a general reader interested in art history or issues of materiality. Sarah M.

  • Averroes, Islam, and Heterodoxy in the Spanish Chapel 'Triumph of St
    SHAZIA JAGOT Averroes, Islam, and Heterodoxy in the Spanish Chapel Triumph of St Thomas Aquinas Abstract This article examines Andrea di Bonaiuto’s image of Averroes in the Triumph of St Thomas Aquinas (Spanish Chapel, Florence: 1365–69), explored alongside Bonai- uto’s primary visual source, Lippo Memmi’s panel painting, Triumph of St Thom- as Aquinas (Pisa, c. 1323–30), and Dante’s Commedia. I argue that Bonaiuto’s ico- nography, developed within a Dominican context, is unique to the Spanish Chap- el Triumph because it propagates Averroes as both a heterodox philosopher and a heretical Muslim precisely at a time when the Arab philosopher was acclaimed as the Great Commentator. Through comparative analysis, I demonstrate that Bo- naiuto makes significant modifications to Memmi’s Triumph, the panel painting which first establishes an Aquinas-Averroes iconographic formula created to up- hold the orthodoxy of Thomistic Aristotelianism by casting Averroes into a con- temptible position, a formula also utilised by Benozzo Gozzoli in a later Triumph of St Thomas Aquinas (Pisa, c. 1470–75). I argue that Memmi’s image of Averroes 1. I wish to express my sincere can be read as a Dominican comment on the heterodoxy of Arabic Aristotelian- gratitude to Dr Anne Marie D’Arcy ism in spite of its widespread reception into Latin scholasticism.

    RICCIOLINI, Niccolò by Maria Barbara Guerrieri Borsoi - Biography of Italians (2017) RICCIOLINI, Niccolò (Nicolò, Nicola). - Born in Rome on February 1, 1687, son of Michelangelo and Anna Cecilia Sementi. He had an early education with his father and already in 1702-03 won some prizes at the Clementini Academy of St. Luke Accademies. In 1709 he painted the chapel of Villa Sora in Frascati, with an altarpiece representing the Assumption of Mary and frescoes on the vault and on the walls, probably benefiting from some paternal suggestion. He donated the model of the painting to St. Luke's Academy, where he still preserved, when he became part of it. Based on the stylistic analysis it is believed that he has collaborated with his father in the Orsini Barberini palace frescoes at Monterotondo, in the naked monochrome at the sides of the vault, and probably in the Frascati Fisherman's Casino. In 1713-15 he went on several occasions to work in the Buonaccorsi building in Macerata to complete the fresco of the salon performed by his father and paint the vault of the chapel, and sent from Rome the six overlays depicting Pairs of putti with insignia and allusive emblems at history of Rome. In 1713 he made the painting depicting St. Francis of Paola, already in S. Lorenzo in Piscibus and now at the S. Giuseppe Calasanzio institute in Rome, created for a church where his father had long worked in his career. In 1715 he collaborated with Michelangelo in the decoration of the chapel of SS Sebastiano and Rocco in S.
