Siglo XV Florencia Siglo XV Florencia El comienzo oficial del Renacimiento El comienzo del Renacimiento • El primer florecimiento del Renacimiento se dio en Florencia • Uno de sus símbolos es el duomo o cúpula de la Catedral Santa María dei Fiori en Florencia, hecha por Filippo Brunelleschi entre 1420-1436. Es una de las obras de ingeniería más importantes del mundo. • Otra de las obras que marca el comienzo “oficial” del Renacimiento es el concurso para decorar las puertas del Bautisterio de Florencia. Este abre las compuertas para un verdadero renacimiento en el área de la escultura • En lo que concierne a la pintura, el siglo quince es el momento en que se inventa la perspectiva lineal, que va a transformar la forma de entender tanto la profundidad como la superifice entera de la pintura Puertas Sur del Bautisterio, bronce Andrea Pisano; 1330-6 • En 1401 el gremio de la lana abrió una competencia para crear unas segundas puertas de bronce, en el mismo formato que las de Andrea Pisano • Se presentaron catorce artistas a la competencia, entre ellos algunos extranjeros a Florencia • Se les pidió que hicieran un panel de prueba con el tema del Sacrificio de Abraham • Sobreviven seis paneles de prueba, entre ellos los de Lorenzo Ghiberti y Filippo Brunelleschi, que parecen haber sido los dos finalistas del concurso El sacrificio de Isaac de Brunelleschi para las puertas Norte del Bautisterio, 1401-2 Lorenzo Ghiberti, Vida de Cristo, Puertas Norte del Bautisterio, 1402-1425 La adoración de los Reyes y La última cena La flagelación • La obra de la nueva catedral se comenzó sobre las ruinas de Santa Reparata • Arnolfo di Cambio comenzó la obra en 1296. Le siguieron como arquitectos/supervisores Andrea Pisano y Giotto di Bondone entre otros • En 1818 el comité Opera del Duomo hace una competencia para crear una bóveda para la catedral. Los concursantes más prominentes son Lorenzo Ghiberti y Filippo Brunelleschi. • Desde principios del siglo quince Ghiberti había estado realizando vitrales para la Catedral y Nanni di Banco y Donatello esculturas tanto para el portal principal como para la parte exterior de las capillas del ábside.

From the Foreword THE REI S a gap in our knowledge which no scholar has ever tried to fill. It is a gap which owes to the lack ofreal attention paid to the work of Nanni di Banco. To fill it is important not only be­ came of the fact of his amazing artistry, but because the lack of true familiarity with Nanni and his accomplishments has left a hole where a key should be in our knowledge of Renaissan~e art. The art history of the period has inevitably been somewhat in­ comprehensible, somewhere lacking in logical development. Without the key figure of Nanni, one is at a loss to explain the development of Donatello on one side and Luca della Robbia on the other; or to fill the gap between Giotto and Masaccio, and trace the history of later painters.

  • Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530
    PALPABLE POLITICS AND EMBODIED PASSIONS: TERRACOTTA TABLEAU SCULPTURE IN ITALY, 1450-1530 by Betsy Bennett Purvis A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto ©Copyright by Betsy Bennett Purvis 2012 Palpable Politics and Embodied Passions: Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530 Doctorate of Philosophy 2012 Betsy Bennett Purvis Department of Art University of Toronto ABSTRACT Polychrome terracotta tableau sculpture is one of the most unique genres of 15th- century Italian Renaissance sculpture. In particular, Lamentation tableaux by Niccolò dell’Arca and Guido Mazzoni, with their intense sense of realism and expressive pathos, are among the most potent representatives of the Renaissance fascination with life-like imagery and its use as a powerful means of conveying psychologically and emotionally moving narratives. This dissertation examines the versatility of terracotta within the artistic economy of Italian Renaissance sculpture as well as its distinct mimetic qualities and expressive capacities. It casts new light on the historical conditions surrounding the development of the Lamentation tableau and repositions this particular genre of sculpture as a significant form of figurative sculpture, rather than simply an artifact of popular culture. In terms of historical context, this dissertation explores overlooked links between the theme of the Lamentation, the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, codes of chivalric honor and piety, and resurgent crusade rhetoric spurred by the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Reconnected to its religious and political history rooted in medieval forms of Sepulchre devotion, the terracotta Lamentation tableau emerges as a key monument that both ii reflected and directed the cultural and political tensions surrounding East-West relations in later 15th-century Italy.

  • Vasari: a Translation from Die Kunstliteratur (1924)
    Julius von Schlosser on Vasari: a translation from Die Kunstliteratur (1924) Karl Johns - Julius Schlosser and the location of Vasari When Thomas Mann was composing Doktor Faustus and decided to have the devil make an appearance at the precise center of the manuscript, he was applying his literary irony to a phenomenon in which he had himself participated, which affected his life directly, and threatened those of his wife and children.1 When Julius Schlosser made Giorgio Vasari the isolated subject of Book Five of his Kunstliteratur, he was also describing a certain development in idiosyncratic literary terms and placing a figure at the center who could not ultimately be applauded according to the terms of his ‘Kunstliteratur’. Unlike the world of Adrian Leverkühn, Schlosser, who was felicitously described in a 1939 obituary as ‘an anachronism in the very best sense of the term’, had developed his concept of the literature of art ‘Kunstliteratur’ independently of the trends of the time. Indeed, his most ambitious essays had included a systematic refutation of the flawed premises of various types of scholarly writings about earlier art then flourishing. Formalism and undue abstraction were then exciting popular interest and drawing unusual numbers of auditors into academic lecture halls. The burgeoning literature of dissertations was being roundly criticized. In this period of emotional nationalism and rising fascism, his development of the concept of ‘Kunstliteratur’ served to stress the importance of objectivity in historical scholarship independently of anything one might feel. To create such a footing it would be necessary in his ‘classic’ book to clarify the entire emergence of the academic discipline of the history of art.

  • 58B. Early Italian Renaissance Donatello
    HUMANISM and the CLASSICAL TRADITION: EARLY ITALIAN RENAISSANCE (Donatello and Early Renaissance Sculpture) In the early fifteenth century, the two most important sculptural commissions in Florence were the new bronze doors for the Florence Cathedral Baptistery and the exterior decoration of the Church of Orsanmichele. Orsanmichele, once an open- arcaded market, was both the municipal granary and a shrine for the local guilds. After its ground floor was walled up near the end of the fourteenth century, each of the twelve niches on the outside of the building was assigned to a guild, which was to commission a large figure of its patron saint or saints for the niche. Nanni di Banco. Quattro Santi Coronati, (Or San Michele, Florence), c. 1408-1414, marble Nanni di Banco (c. 1385-1421), son of a sculptor in the Florence Cathedral workshop, produced statues for three of Oransmichele’s niches in his short but brilliant career. The Four Crowned Martyrs was commissioned about 1410- 1413 by the stone carvers and woodworkers’ guild, to which Nanni himself belonged. These martyrs, according to legend, were third-century Christian sculptors executed for refusing to make an image of a Roman god. Although the architectural setting resembles a small-scale Gothic chapel, Nanni’s figures- with their solid bodies, heavy, form-revealing togas, and stylized hair and beards- nevertheless have the appearance of ancient Roman sculpture. Their varying physiognomies and ages identify them as distinct individuals, and their unity of purpose is reinforced by their formal unity; their semicircular arrangement repeats the curve of the niche. Their gestures, serious expressions, and heavy draperies reflect the gravity of the decision they are about to make.

  • PIAZZA SIGNORIA E DINTORNI Centro Storico Di Firenze Inscritto Nella Lista Del Patrimonio Mondiale Nel 1982 SOMMARIO / TABLE of CONTENTS
    PIAZZA SIGNORIA E DINTORNI Centro Storico di Firenze inscritto nella Lista del Patrimonio Mondiale nel 1982 SOMMARIO / TABLE OF CONTENTS Storia History 4 Itinerario Itinerary 7 Approfondimenti Further Insights 21 Informazioni Information 55 HISTORY In questa visita ti porteremo attraverso il Centro Storico a spasso nel cuore politico e commerciale della città, in alcune delle piazze più belle di Firenze, da piazza della Repubblica a piazza della Signoria. Questa area era una delle più caratteristiche di Firenze, punteggiata non solo di chiese, tabernacoli, torri medievali, palazzi nobiliari, ma anche di botteghe storiche e delle sedi delle corporazioni delle Arti. Avevano qui sede soprattutto botteghe di abbigliamento e di calzature, ma anche laboratori di artisti come Donatello e Michelozzo. Traccia di questa antica presenza sono, ad esempio, le monumentali statue delle nicchie di Orsanmichele, ciascuna dedicata ai rispettivi santi protettori delle diverse Arti e opera di grandi scultori come Donatello, Verrocchio, Ghiberti e Giambologna. L’intera area subì pesanti trasformazioni a fine Ottocento, in occasione di Firenze capitale d’Italia, trasformazioni che interessarono non soltanto piazza della Repubblica, ma anche via dei Calzaiuoli, sottoposta a diversi progetti di ampliamento. Piazza della Repubblica, centro nevralgico fin da epoca romana, che aveva mantenuto durante tutto il Medioevo la funzione di luogo di ritrovo destinato al commercio, vide stravolto il proprio assetto. A conservare in gran parte, invece, il proprio antico aspetto è stata piazza della Signoria, zona di grande importanza fin dall’epoca romana, i cui resti sono ancora oggi visitabili sotto Palazzo Vecchio. La piazza iniziò ad assumere l’attuale forma intorno al 1268, in seguito alla demolizione delle case dei Ghibellini da parte dei Guelfi vincitori.

Il Castello Sforzesco venne costruito da Francesco Sforza nel Quattrocento. Nel Cinquecento passò sotto il dominio spagnolo, che lo utilizzò come cittadella militare. Più tardi Napoleone ordinò la distruzione dell’edificio, in accordo con la popolazione milanese. Il Castello Sforzesco sopravvisse alla distruzione e venne restaurato ad inizio Novecento. Alla fine passò al Comune di Milano ed è oggi sede di alcuni dei più importanti musei della città. In tutto ciò, la funzione principale del castello era quella di difesa ed lo è sempre stata da quando furono avviati i progetti di edificazione. • ore 13:00 passaggio attraverso Galleria Vittorio Emanuele per pranzo a 'Le Banque' • ore 14:30 visita al Duomo DUOMO DI MILANO La cattedrale, una delle più grandi della cristianità, è molto originale e si allontana per molti punti dalla tradizione italiana.

  • Michelangelo's 'David'" Human Studies 10, No
    ©COPYRIGHT by Joshua Kamins 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 1 In the room the women come and go Talking of Michelangelo. –T.S. Eliot. 2 AMONG THE PROPHETS: MICHELANGELO’S DAVID. BY Joshua Kamins ABSTRACT This thesis argues that Michelangelo employed the grammar of the Cathedral and Prophet program in the making of his David with particular reference to Lorenzo Ghiberti’s Gates of Paradise, Donatello’s Jeremiah, Nanni di Banco’s Isaiah, and Assumption of the Virgin above the Porta della Mandorla. Emphasizing Christological prophecy as the lynchpin of the overall sculptural program, it likewise applies humanist and Christian exegesis in order to reposition the David into its intended religious context. Raised on top of the Duomo, the David would have embodied the ancestral bloodline—emanating from the Tree of Jesse, carried through the womb of the Virgin Mary, and culminating in the incarnation of Christ. The incarnation—prophesied by Jeremiah, Isaiah, and the Minor Prophets—fulfills the thematic program—both in form and in hermeneutics—of the sculptural ensemble gracing the cathedral and baptistery architectural complex. The tree-stump is considered crucial to the istoria of Michelangelo’s David, akin to the importance of Goliath’s head in previous depictions of David; here it symbolizes the genealogy of Christ as derivative of the Davidic bloodline. Moreover, the employment of masculinity studies and the philosophies of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari lends new insight into the interconnectedness between the David, the viewer, and site. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project would not have been possible without the advice of Dr. Kim Butler and Joanne Allen.
