Davide Mancini Zanchi Ping – Pong … Pung Davide Mancini Zanchi Ping – Pong … Pung opening saturday may 26 2012, 7pm 26 may – 7 june | fri – sat 2/7pm Wipe bathroom ikea, Acrylic on Canvas, 30x40cm, 2012 Davide Mancini Zanchi first solo exhibition is at AplusB in Brescia, Italy. The artist (Urbino, 1986) needs to redeem from dependence on the objects, or rather from everything that is real, palpable and perceived by senses, from what is other than oneself. Paintings, sculptures and videos are conceived to abstract daily life in an own, personal formal synthesis. The artist’s strategy consists in simplifying constituent elements so to find a way out from the more and more advanced dematerialization that characterizes today’s world, and to find what is necessary to the artist to belong to the time and space in which he is physically located. Davide Mancini Zanchi paintings appear as a standardized series, in sizes and finishes, and belong to still-life paintings genre. Everyday objects are read one by one and turned into primary forms that, at first sight, appear as color and signs with no purpose, and, in the end, they are put back in memory recognizing the use they were born for. In sculptures, instead, objects become part of self-portraits, which are also standardized in form, but transformed by the relationship between objects and representation in which dominates the highly developed sense of irony. Ping - Pong ... Pung is completed by some video works; thanks to this medium David Mancini Zanchi was awarded with the Peschiera Prize 2011 and selected in various other exhibitions. In videos, always concise and related to performing situations, the body is the expedient that is transformed or altered. Metamorphosis are concrete and necessary to gain favor and, at the same time, find a way out to new opportunities for the artist as sensitive living being.

  • Italian Sixteenth-Century Maiolica Sanctuaries and Chapels
    religions Article Experiencing La Verna at Home: Italian Sixteenth-Century Maiolica Sanctuaries and Chapels Zuzanna Sarnecka The Institute of Art History, University of Warsaw, 00-927 Warszawa, Poland; [email protected] Received: 30 September 2019; Accepted: 17 December 2019; Published: 20 December 2019 Abstract: The present study describes the function of small-scale maiolica sanctuaries and chapels created in Italy in the sixteenth century. The so-called eremi encouraged a multisensory engagement of the faithful with complex structures that included receptacles for holy water, openings for the burning of incense, and moveable parts. They depicted a saint contemplating a crucifix or a book in a landscape and, as such, they provided a model for everyday pious life. Although they were less lifelike than the full-size recreations of holy sites, such as the Sacro Monte in Varallo, they had the significant advantage of allowing more spontaneous handling. The reduced scale made the objects portable and stimulated a more immediate pious experience. It seems likely that they formed part of an intimate and private setting. The focused attention given here to works by mostly anonymous artists reveals new categories of analysis, such as their religious efficacy. This allows discussion of these neglected artworks from a more positive perspective, in which their spiritual significance, technical accomplishment and functionality come to the fore. Keywords: Italian Renaissance; devotion; home; La Verna; sanctuaries; maiolica; sculptures; multisensory experience 1. Introduction During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, ideas about religious sculpture still followed two conflicting trains of thought. On the one hand, writers understood the efficacy of both sculptural and painted images at impressing the divine image onto the mind and soul of the beholder.

    Milan Verona Venice Cremona Padua Pavia Mantua Genoa Ferrara Bologna Florence Urbino Rome Naples Map of Italy indicating, in light type, cities mentioned in the exhibition. The J. Paul Getty Museum © 2015 J. Paul Getty Trust Court Artists Artists at court were frequently kept on retainer by their patrons, receiving a regular salary in return for undertaking a variety of projects. Their privileged position eliminated the need to actively seek customers, granting them time and artistic freedom to experiment with new materials and techniques, subject matter, and styles. Court artists could be held in high regard not only for their talents as painters or illuminators but also for their learning, wit, and manners. Some artists maintained their elevated positions for decades. Their frequent movements among the Italian courts could depend on summons from wealthier patrons or dismissals if their style was outmoded. Consequently their innovations— among the most significant in the history of Renaissance art—spread quickly throughout the peninsula. The J. Paul Getty Museum © 2015 J. Paul Getty Trust Court Patrons Social standing, religious rank, piety, wealth, and artistic taste were factors that influenced the ability and desire of patrons to commission art for themselves and for others. Frequently a patron’s portrait, coat of arms, or personal emblems were prominently displayed in illuminated manuscripts, which could include prayer books, manuals concerning moral conduct, humanist texts for scholarly learning, and liturgical manuscripts for Christian worship. Patrons sometimes worked closely with artists to determine the visual content of a manuscript commission and to ensure the refinement and beauty of the overall decorative scheme.

  • Peace in Palestine Via the World Heritage Convention
    . Michael K. Madison II. Peace in Palestine ..........through World Heritage Promoting Peace via Global Conventions - 1 - Peace in Palestine via the World Heritage Convention Promoting Peace via Global Conventions The Global Problem "Throughout history, religious differences have divided men and women from their neighbors and have served as justification for some of humankind's bloodiest conflicts. In the modern world, it has become clear that people of all religions must bridge these differences and work together, to ensure our survival and realize the vision of peace that all faiths share." -- H.R.H. Prince El-Hassan bin Talal, Jordan Moderator, WCRP Governing Board Tolerance, Economic Growth and Fear Global peace and harmony is not possible without religious tolerance. Unfortunately, there is no instant microwavable solution. We can’t just add water and/or milk to the current situation and hope that the world will ameliorate itself overnight. No. The world needs help. The problem is not the outliers; it is larger groups of people that need to change. Outliers will always be present. The world needs religious-minded policymakers to take giant steps that lead to peace, but in a mutually beneficial way. Indeed, peace for peace’s sake is not always enough incentive to all parties involved. Therefore, if the conflict cannot be resolved by tolerance, then let it be resolved by greed as we find a way to help the countries involved to achieve a better economic position. If the conflict cannot be resolved by boosting the corresponding economies, then let it be resolved by fear as we convince the nations involved that one false move means it will be - 2 - their country against the rest of the world and not just their “enemy of the day”.

  • Ravenna and Urbino
    Ravenna, Rimini and Urbino Byzantine Art and the Renaissance Court 18 - 23 October 2010 RAVENNA is a unique centre in Western Europe for the study of Byzantine culture and art. It is now famed for its magnificent Roman and Byzantine architecture and exquisite 5th and 6th century mosaics. Ravenna’s greatest period began in the 5th century when Honorius moved the imperial court from Rome to Ravenna and he and his sister, Galla Placidia, adorned the city with magnificent buildings and exquisite mosaics. After the Goths occupied Ravenna in the late 5th century, Odoacer (473-93) and Theodoric (493-526) continued the grand building programme. In 540 Ravenna was captured by General Belisarius for the Eastern Empire, and the city prospered even further under the rule of Justinian and his empress Theodora. URBINO, located in a splendid position set deep amidst rolling hills, came to prominence in the late 12th century under Montefeltro rule. In 1443 Oddantonio da Montefeltro was made the first duke of Urbino, and after his death in 1444 his illegitimate half-brother Federico succeeded him. Federico became one of the most important patrons of the Renaissance. Raphael, Bramante, Laurana, Pisanello, Piero della Francesca all worked at Urbino. The magnificent Palazzo Ducale is still one of the finest Renaissance palaces in Italy. It now houses the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche and contains important regional works as well as paintings by Piero della Francesca, Raphael and Titian. Urbino’s fame continued after Federico’s death in 1482 under the rule of his son Guidobaldo and his wife Elisabetta Gonzaga.

  • Art and Politics at the Neapolitan Court of Ferrante I, 1458-1494
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: KING OF THE RENAISSANCE: ART AND POLITICS AT THE NEAPOLITAN COURT OF FERRANTE I, 1458-1494 Nicole Riesenberger, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Meredith J. Gill, Department of Art History and Archaeology In the second half of the fifteenth century, King Ferrante I of Naples (r. 1458-1494) dominated the political and cultural life of the Mediterranean world. His court was home to artists, writers, musicians, and ambassadors from England to Egypt and everywhere in between. Yet, despite its historical importance, Ferrante’s court has been neglected in the scholarship. This dissertation provides a long-overdue analysis of Ferrante’s artistic patronage and attempts to explicate the king’s specific role in the process of art production at the Neapolitan court, as well as the experiences of artists employed therein. By situating Ferrante and the material culture of his court within the broader discourse of Early Modern art history for the first time, my project broadens our understanding of the function of art in Early Modern Europe. I demonstrate that, contrary to traditional assumptions, King Ferrante was a sophisticated patron of the visual arts whose political circumstances and shifting alliances were the most influential factors contributing to his artistic patronage. Unlike his father, Alfonso the Magnanimous, whose court was dominated by artists and courtiers from Spain, France, and elsewhere, Ferrante differentiated himself as a truly Neapolitan king. Yet Ferrante’s court was by no means provincial. His residence, the Castel Nuovo in Naples, became the physical embodiment of his commercial and political network, revealing the accretion of local and foreign visual vocabularies that characterizes Neapolitan visual culture.
