Learning Objectives Name some distinguishing features of Italian Renaissance architecture, its major exponents, and important architectural concepts. Teatro Olimpico : Scaenae frons of the Teatro Olimpico. One primary emphasis of the Counter-Reformation was a mission to reach parts of the world that had been colonized as predominantly Catholic, and also try to reconvert areas, such as Sweden and England, that were at one time Catholic but had been Protestantized during the Reformation. The Renaissance has had a large impact on society in a multitude of ways. The Palazzo Farnese, one of the most important High Renaissance palaces in Rome , is a primary example of Renaissance Roman architecture. With its perfect proportions, harmony of parts, and direct references to ancient architecture, the Tempietto embodies the Renaissance. Working together across cultural and religious divides, they both become very rich, and the Ottomans became one of the most powerful political entities in the world. A popular explanation for the Italian Renaissance is the thesis that the primary impetus of the early Renaissance was the long-running series of wars between Florence and Milan, whereby the leading figures of Florence rallied the people by presenting the war as one between the free republic and a despotic monarchy. Licenses and Attributions. During this period, the modern commercial infrastructure developed, with double-entry bookkeeping, joint stock companies, an international banking system, a systematized foreign exchange market, insurance, and government debt. Pope Paul III came to the papal throne — after the sack of Rome in , with uncertainties prevalent in the Catholic Church following the Protestant Reformation. Bramante was born in Urbino and first came to prominence as an architect in Milan before traveling to Rome. And even after so many years that the Renaissance period is over, plenty of artists are still inspired by that art and artists of that time. Designed for those hoping to work in art collection-related fields, the master's program in Art History and Museum Studies gives students advanced qualification in art history and a broad introduction to museum work. It was divided into independent city-states, each with a different form of government. In October Luther published the Ninety-five Theses , challenging papal authority and criticizing its perceived corruption, particularly with regard to instances of sold indulgences. Moreover, the inland city-states profited from the rich agricultural land of the Po valley. Thanks to the patronage of these wealthy elites, Renaissance-era writers and thinkers were able to spend their days doing just that. Duomo of Florence : The Florence Cathedral is the first example of a true dome in Renaissance architecture. Leonardo da Vinci was a painter, architect, inventor, and student of all things scientific. Artists use realistic and abstract symbols to represent human thoughts and emotions. The commencement of the Renaissance brought back distinguished features of Classic Roman architecture but in a modern way. Download the exhibition object checklist. Additionally, Byzantine scholars migrated to Italy during and following the Ottoman conquest of the Byzantines between the 12th and 15th centuries, and were important in sparking the new linguistic studies of the Renaissance, in newly created academies in Florence and Venice. Brunelleschi also devised a way to draw and paint using linear perspective. As a result, many Renaissance intellectuals focused on trying to define and understand the laws of nature and the physical world. Florence, where the Italian Renaissance began, was an independent republic. Although the papacy eventually emerged supreme in ecclesiastical matters by the Fifth Council of the Lateran , it was dogged by continued accusations of corruption, most famously in the person of Pope Alexander VI, who was accused variously of simony, nepotism, and fathering four children. Their conflicted responses are mirrored in our own body-obsessed era, filled with imagery of nudity. Stained glass, although sometimes present, was not a prevalent feature in Renaissance windows. Renaissance Architecture in Rome Rome, the second Renaissance capital after Florence, was one of the most important architectural and cultural centers during this period. During the Renaissance, Falcone says, "Women didn't have citizenship. One of the first buildings to use pilasters as an integrated system was the Old Sacristy — by Brunelleschi. Giuseppe Garibaldi is best known for leading military campaigns that helped unify Italy, but the famed freedom fighter came very close to taking another notable assignment. Renaissance Architecture During the High Renaissance, architectural concepts derived from classical antiquity were developed and used with greater surety. The typical plan of churches and other public buildings had a symmetrical appearance where windows and doors were positioned in proportions based on a module. Similarly, imagery of the nude or mostly unclothed bodies of saints and of biblical heroes and heroines functioned in religious observance and private devotion, representing, at times graphically, their torture and martyrdom. The facade of Santa Maria Novella —70 also showed similar Renaissance innovations based on classical Roman architecture. With backing from Advancing Women Artists, Wicks is currently restoring two large works by Violante Ferroni, an 18th century child prodigy of whom little is known today. Venice, the capital of the Veneto, has a rich and diverse architectural style , the most famous of which is the Gothic style. A rotting or half-eaten peach symbolized an immoral woman who has tarnished her reputation. The organization was founded by Jane Fortune, an American philanthropist who died in Falcone says the group has accomplished what it set out to do. Internal walls were smoothly plastered and surfaced with white chalk paint. Italy at Work : Her Renaissance in Design Today Writer They couldn't issue invoices. Conservator Elisabeth Wicks at work. Paul Getty Museum. The Counter-Reformation was a comprehensive effort composed of four major elements—ecclesiastical or structural reconfigurations, new religious orders such as the Jesuits , spiritual movements, and political reform. This was a time of increased contact with Greek culture, opening up new avenues of learning, especially in the fields of philosophy, poetry, classics, rhetoric, and political science, fostering a spirit of Humanism—all of which would influence the church. In the case of Villa Badoer, the open barn, formed by a large circular colonnade enclosing the front yard in front of the villa, created a space that recalled the ancient idea of the Roman Forum , bringing all campaign activities to the front of the villa itself. The decline of feudalism and the rise of cities influenced each other; for example, the demand for luxury goods led to an increase in trade, which led to greater numbers of tradesmen becoming wealthy, who, in turn, demanded more luxury goods. The main trade routes from the east passed through the Byzantine Empire or the Arab lands and onwards to the ports of Genoa, Pisa, and Venice. It introduced the concepts of art, architecture, aesthetics, anatomy, physics, war weapons, and what not! The revival of interest in Greek and Roman art—which was largely focused on the human body—helped transform workshop practice during the Renaissance. There are some estimates that the Medici family were the wealthiest family in Europe for a time. And before you ask: yes, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were named after the most famous Italian artists from the Renaissance. The group also rediscovered a ft. However, the forms and purposes of buildings had changed over time, as had the structure of cities, which is reflected in the fusion of classical and 16th century forms. Working together across cultural and religious divides, they both become very rich, and the Ottomans became one of the most powerful political entities in the world. The Medici family was connected to most other elite families of the time through marriages of convenience, partnerships, or employment, so the family had a central position in the social network. Advancing Women Artists has fulfilled its mission, says Falcone because art lovers are now beginning to find answers to the question: Where are the women? Domestic buildings had symmetric frontal openings and headed by a cornice on top.

This was adapted from Roman and Greek architecture. Renaissance Architecture in Rome Rome, the second Renaissance capital after Florence, was one of the most important architectural and cultural centers during this period. Due to trade, wars, family ties, and a plethora of other reasons these three countries always had a close connection with Italy, and hence it was inevitable not to adapt to the Renaissance style.

    2017 IV Humanism and Spanish Literary Patronage at the Roman Curia: The Role of the Cardinal of Santa Croce, Bernardino López de Carvajal (1456–1523) Marta Albalá Pelegrín Article: Humanism and Spanish Literary Patronage at the Roman Curia: The Role of the Cardinal of Santa Croce, Bernardino López de Carvajal (1456-1523) Humanism and Spanish Literary Patronage at the Roman Curia: The Role of the Cardinal of Santa Croce, Bernardino López de Carvajal (1456-1523)1 Marta Albalá Pelegrín Abstract: This article aims to analyze the role of Bernardino López de Carvajal (1456 Plasencia-1523 Rome) as a literary patron, namely his contributions to humanism in Rome and to Spanish letters, in the period that has been loosely identified as Spanish Rome. Carvajal held the dignities of orator continuus of Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, titular cardinal of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, and Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, and was even elected antipope with the name of Martin VI in the Conciliabulum of Pisa (1511) against Julius II. He belonged to the avant-garde of humanists devoted to creating a body of Neo-Latin and Spanish literature that would both foster the Spanish presence at Rome and leave a mark on the Spanish literary canon. He sponsored a considerable body of works that celebrated the deeds of the Catholic Kings and those of the Great Captain, Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba. He also commissioned literary translations, and was involved in the production of theatrical pieces, such as those of Bartolomé Torres Naharro. Key Words: Benardino López de Carvajal; Literary Patronage; Catholic Kings; Erasmus; Bartolomé Torres Naharro; Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba.

Saint Mark soon displaced all other saints as Venice’s symbol of independence and unity.

EXCERPT: RENAISSANCE ARCH RESEARCH PAPER 2 The Renaissance period in Venice, lasting through the Quattrocento and Cinquecento, was significant because of the city’s maintenance of civic peace; this was achieved in large part by the rise in number and importance of processional routes by the Doges, the elected leaders of the Republic.3 Venice proved their commitment to these processions by creating a grander urban fabric.

  • Bramante's Tempietto, the Roman Renaissance, and the Spanish Crown / Jack Freiberg
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-04297-1 - Bramante’s Tempietto, the Roman Renaissance, and the Spanish Crown Jack Freiberg Frontmatter More information Bramante’s Tempietto, the Roman Renaissance, and the Spanish Crown The Tempietto, the embodiment of the Renaissance mastery of classical architecture and its Christian reinvention, was also the preeminent commission of the Catholic monarchs, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabel of Castile, in papal Rome. This groundbreaking book situates Bramante’s time-honored memorial dedicated to Saint Peter and the origins of the Roman Catholic Church at the center of a coordinated program of the arts exalting Spain’s leadership in the quest for Christian hegemony. The innovations in form and iconography that made the Tempietto an authoritative model for Western architecture were fortifi ed in legacy monuments created by the popes in Rome and the kings in Spain from the later Renaissance to the present day. New photographs expressly taken for this study capture comprehensive views and focused details of this exemplar of Renaissance art and statecraft. Jack Freiberg is Professor of Art History at Florida State University. He has been awarded fellowships by the Institute for Advanced Study, the American Academy in Rome, and the Samuel H.

  • Reconstructing the Image of the Ideal City in Renaissance Painting and Theatre: Its Influence in Specific Urban Environments
    RECONSTRUCTING THE IMAGE OF THE IDEAL CITY IN RENAISSANCE PAINTING AND THEATRE: ITS INFLUENCE IN SPECIFIC URBAN ENVIRONMENTS. DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND VISUAL CULTURE* CARMEN GONZÁLEZ-ROMÁN** ISABEL SOLÍS ALCUDIA*** INTRODUCTION Te virtual reconstruction that we propose in this study aims to provide a model that allows visualizing how, in specifc urban projects or reforms carried out since the Renaissance, the image of the ideal city represented in pictures and scenery still persists. Paraphrasing Foucault, our purpose is directed towards an «archaeology of the imagi- nary» or perhaps, more accurately, a «virtual» archaeology of the imaginary. From this point of view, we consider it necessary to begin with a brief refection on an idea that has been latent throughout the preparation of this work, a concern that has to do with what some researchers with a well-established trajectory in the feld of Digital Humanities, and in particular, in the area of spatial analysis and reconstruction, have been proposing in recent years. We refer to the critical refection on the part of fantasy and uncertainty that all virtual reconstruction entails. From this approach, it is accepted that most digital projects dedicated to the reconstruction of historical monu- ments, archaeological sites, or collections of museums, contain an element of deception, and require, therefore, the will and complicity of the viewer to accept the reality that is ofered to them. * Tis paper is an outcome of the Research Project: Apropiaciones e hibridaciones entre las artes plásticas y las artes escé- nicas en la Edad Moderna (HAR2015-70089-P), funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness/ /FEDER.

  • Papal Policy: the Planning of Rome During
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Rotberg, Robert I. ; Rabb, Theodore K. (Hrsgg.): Art and history : images and their meaning, Cambridge 1988, S. 39-65 Christoph L. Frommel Papal Policy: The Planning of Rome during the Renaissance The investigation of patronage and town plan­ ning has become increasingly important for our understanding of the history of architecture and in particular for the history of Roman Renaissance architecture. The projects of individual popes have been thoroughly analyzed, but no attempt has been made to look at papal building policy during the Renaissance as a whole, to find out its principal motives, or to distinguish between con­ tinuous and discontinuous forces. This article suggests that much of the unique beauty of Renaissance Rome is the result of the particular character of papal government.1 The center of the old city of Rome differs from that of other Italian towns in that it has two centers of gravity: the Vatican and the Capitol. Until too years ago both were situated on the pe­ riphery of the city. The Capitol, which since the Middle Ages had been the seat of the communal administration, only attained its present representative character during the sixteenth and sev­ enteenth centuries and earlier was anything but impressive. Even before its recent isolation from the rest of the city was achieved by archaeologists and patriots seeking to preserve its character, it did not play a role comparable to that of the urban centers of Venice, Florence, Siena, or other smaller towns. The Vatican, at Christoph L. Frommel is Director of the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome.
