  • Mannerist Architecture and the Baroque in This Lecture I Want To
    Mannerist Architecture and the Baroque In this lecture I want to discuss briefly the nature of Mannerist architecture and then begin to consider baroque art. We have already paid some attention to Mannerist painting and sculpture; and have seen how in the work of painters like Rosso Fiorentino, Bronzino and Parmigianino; and sculptors like Giovanni Bologna and Cellini, that after 1527, classical forms came to be used in a spirit alien to them; each artist developing a highly personal style containing capricious, irrational and anti-classical effects. Although the term Mannerism was first applied to painting before it came to be used to describe the period style between 1527 and 1600; it is possible to find similar mannerist qualities in the architecture of the time. And again it is Michelangelo whose work provides, as it were, a fountainhead of the new style. Rosso’s Decent from the Cross, which we have taken as one of the first signs of Mannerist strain and tension in the High Renaissance world, was painted in 1521. Three years later Michelangelo designed his Laurentian Library,* that is in 1524. It was designed to house the library of the Medicis; and we may take it as the first important building exhibiting Mannerist features.* We can best consider these features by comparing the interior of the library with the interior of an early Renaissance building such as Brunelleschi’s S. Lorenzo. Consider his use of columns. In Brunelleschi they are free standing. When he uses pilasters they project out from a wall as you expect a buttress to.

The Romantic Movement on European arts: a brief tutorial review Anna Lazarou Academy of Athens, 84 Solonos Str., Athens 10680, Greece ([email protected]; [email protected]) Received: 10/01/2015 Accepted: 25/02/2015 ABSTRACT The movement of romanticism in art (18th-19th c) is briefly reviewed. This artistic movement institutionalized freedom of personal expression of the artist and presented various art styles, which were rooted mainly in topics of the past. One of the manifestations of the romantic spirit was Neoclassicism which was based on copies of works of Greek and Roman antiquities. Romantic painters, musicians and architects have left as heritage an amazing wealth of art works. KEYWORDS: art, architecture, music, romance, artistic movement, neoclassicism. 40 Anna Lazarou 1.

  • The Utrecht Caravaggisti the Painter of This Picture, Jan Van Bijlert, Was Born in Utrecht in the Netherlands, a City Today Stil
    The Utrecht Caravaggisti The painter of this picture, Jan van Bijlert, was born in Utrecht in the Netherlands, a city today still known for its medieval centre and home to several prominent art museums. In his beginnings, Jan van Bijlert became a student of Dutch painter Abraham Bloemaert. He later spent some time travelling in France as well as spending the early 1620s in Rome, where he was influenced by the Italian painter Caravaggio. This brings us on to the Caravaggisti, stylistic followers of this late 16th-century Italian Baroque painter. Caravaggio’s influence on the new Baroque style that eventually emerged from Mannerism was profound. Jan van Bijlert had embraced his style totally before returning home to Utrecht as a confirmed Caravaggist in roughly 1645. Caravaggio tended to differ from the rest of his contemporaries, going about his life and career without establishing as much as a studio, nor did he try to set out his underlying philosophical approach to art, leaving art historians to deduce what information they could from his surviving works alone. Another factor which sets him apart from his contemporaries is the fact that he was renowned during his lifetime although forgotten almost immediately after his death. Many of his works were released into the hands of his followers, the Caravaggisti. His relevance and major role in developing Western art was noticed at quite a later time when rediscovered and was ‘placed’ in the European tradition by Roberto Longhi. His importance was quoted as such, "Ribera, Vermeer, La Tour and Rembrandt could never ​ ​ have existed without him.

  • Spanish Art (Renaissance and Baroque)
    Centro de Lenguas Modernas – Universidad de Granada – Syllabus Hispanic Studies SPANISH ART (RENAISSANCE AND BAROQUE) General description This subject deals with the study of the forms of artistic expression in Spain between the 16th and end of the 18th centuries, in two differentiated blocks: Renaissance Art and Baroque Art. The analysis of these two blocks explains the main lines of artistic expression of the period and their evolution, giving attention – for reasons of brevity – to the principal figures of each epoch. The specific aims of the subject are, on the one hand, to understand the essential trends of Spanish artistic expression of the Modern Age, integrating them in their historical, social and ideological context; on the other hand, to develop the linguistic competence of the student in the Spanish language. Content I. INTRODUCTION TO ARTISTIC VOCABULARY 1. Architecture, sculpture and painting terms. II. RENAISSANCE SPANISH ART 2. SPAIN OF THE 16TH CENTURY: POLITICAL AND CULTURAL EVOLUTION. From Hispanic unity to Empire. Artistic patronage as social representation. From the Flemish tradition to Italian novelty. 3.

  • Original Neurology and Medicine in Baroque Painting
    Original Neurosciences and History 2017; 5(1): 26-37 Neurology and medicine in Baroque painting L. C. Álvaro Department of Neurology, Hospital de Basurto. Bilbao, Spain. Department of Neurosciences, Universidad del País Vasco. Leoia, Spain. ABSTRACT Introduction. Paintings constitute a historical source that portays medical and neurological disorders. e Baroque period is especially fruitful in this respect, due to the pioneering use of faithful, veristic representation of natural models. For these reasons, this study will apply a neurological and historical perspective to that period. Methods. We studied Baroque paintings from the Prado Museum in Madrid, the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, and the catalogues from exhibitions at the Prado Museum of the work of Georges de La Tour (2016) and Ribera (Pinturas [Paintings], 1992; and Dibujos [Drawings], 2016). Results. In the work of Georges de La Tour, evidence was found of focal dystonia and Meige syndrome ( e musicians’ brawl and Hurdy-gurdy player with hat), as well as de ciency diseases (pellagra and blindness in e pea eaters, anasarca in e ea catcher). Ribera’s paintings portray spastic hemiparesis in e clubfoot, and a complex endocrine disorder in the powerfully human Magdalena Ventura with he r husband and son. His drawings depict physical and emotional pain; grotesque deformities; allegorical gures with facial deformities representing moral values; and drawings of documentary interest for health researchers. Finally, Juan Bautista Maíno’s depiction of Saint Agabus sho ws cervical dystonia, reinforcing the compassionate appearance of the monk. Conclusions. e naturalism that can be seen in Baroque painting has enabled us to identify a range of medical and neurological disorders in the images analysed.

  • 1 Caravaggio and a Neuroarthistory Of
    CARAVAGGIO AND A NEUROARTHISTORY OF ENGAGEMENT Kajsa Berg A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia September 2009 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on the condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author’s prior written consent. 1 Abstract ABSTRACT John Onians, David Freedberg and Norman Bryson have all suggested that neuroscience may be particularly useful in examining emotional responses to art. This thesis presents a neuroarthistorical approach to viewer engagement in order to examine Caravaggio’s paintings and the responses of early-seventeenth-century viewers in Rome. Data concerning mirror neurons suggests that people engaged empathetically with Caravaggio’s paintings because of his innovative use of movement. While spiritual exercises have been connected to Caravaggio’s interpretation of subject matter, knowledge about neural plasticity (how the brain changes as a result of experience and training), indicates that people who continually practiced these exercises would be more susceptible to emotionally engaging imagery. The thesis develops Baxandall’s concept of the ‘period eye’ in order to demonstrate that neuroscience is useful in context specific art-historical queries. Applying data concerning the ‘contextual brain’ facilitates the examination of both the cognitive skills and the emotional factors involved in viewer engagement. The skilful rendering of gestures and expressions was a part of the artist’s repertoire and Artemisia Gentileschi’s adaptation of the violent action emphasised in Caravaggio’s Judith Beheading Holofernes testifies to her engagement with his painting.

  • From Mannerism to Baroque: Caravaggio and Donne
    (RJELAL) Research Journal of English Language and Literature Vol.4.Issue 3. 2016 A Peer Reviewed (Refereed) International (July-Sept.) Journalhttp://www.rjelal.com; Email:[email protected] RESEARCH ARTICLE FROM MANNERISM TO BAROQUE: CARAVAGGIO AND DONNE SRISHTI SHARMA 122 UGF Raja Garden, New Delhi. ABSTRACT This endeavor is to present a unique combination of visual art with literature. Visual art in literature is commonly referred to as “Ekphraisis”, or as Horace coined his famous dictum “Ut picture poesis”. Several other writers have rejected the idea of Ekphraisis, based on the fact that language is linear while visual art is spatial. I suggest that our ancients were correct in instituting a relation between the words and art. I feel that one can accomplish a greater understanding of the two if they are either compared or understood in companionship reading, running parallel to each other. In this paper I am trying to elucidate upon one such case in point which would add reasonable strength to Ekphrasis using the examples from Caravaggio’s artwork and John Donne’s Poetry. The painter Caravaggio and the poet John Donne were contemporaries. In their work one can find the manifestation from Mannerist to Baroque. ©KY PUBLICATIONS It is perfectly legitimate and historically looking for a substitute to Mannerism1. Caravaggio’s grounded to identify the dark bedrock of painting with innovation and novelty was Naturalism2 that united matter. It is for centuries that the Catholic Church had close physical observation with a dramatic. This unison viewed darkness as an inert matter or nothingness and was actually the*theatrical use of ‘Chiaroscuro’ which light as the representative and the intervention of the came to be known as ‘Tenebrism’3.

  • “Baroque”: a Term Used in the Literature of the Arts with Both Historical and Critical Meanings and As Both an Adjective and a Noun
    003_Baroque.doc READINGS: BAROQUE Background: “Baroque”: A term used in the literature of the arts with both historical and critical meanings and as both an adjective and a noun. The word has a long, complex and controversial history (it possibly derived from a Portuguese word for a misshapen pearl, and until the late 19th century it was used mainly as a synonym for `absurd' or `grotesque'), but in English it is now current with three principal meanings. Primarily, it designates the dominant style of European art between Mannerism and Rococo. This style originated in Rome and is associated with the Catholic Counter-Reformation, its salient characteristics--overt rhetoric and dynamic movement--being well suited to expressing the self- confidence and proselytizing spirit of the reinvigorated Catholic Church. It is by no means exclusively associated with religious art, however, and aspects of the Baroque can be seen even in works that have nothing to do with emotional display--for example in the dynamic lines of certain Dutch still-life paintings. Secondly, it is used as a general label for the period when this style flourished, broadly speaking, the 17th century and in certain areas much of the 18th century. Hence thus phrases as `the age of Baroque', `Baroque politics', `Baroque science', and so on. Thirdly, the term `Baroque' (often written without the initial capital) is applied to art of any time or place that shows the qualities of vigorous movement and emotional intensity associated with Baroque art in its primary meaning. Much Hellenistic sculpture could therefore be described as `baroque'. The older meaning of the word, as a synonym for `capricious', `overwrought' or `florid', still has some currency, but not in serious criticism.
