Giambologna Sawyer Bowman Giambologna, Or Giovanni Da Giambologna Sawyer Bowman Giambologna, or Giovanni Da Bologna / Jean Boulogne, was among the greatest names in art during his time. He was born in 1529 and died in 1608. His legacy, however, continues to live on. He was considered the greatest sculptor of Mannerism, with his reputation only second to Michelangelo. His sculpting style is elegant, sophisticated, subtle, and sensuous. Giambologna spent a great deal of his time in Florence, however, he was Flemish born. (Flemish indicates he was from the Flanders area near Belgium.) Thus, Giambologna soon became known as a very successful and unique artist. At a relatively early age, fourteen to be precise, Giambologna showed a distinct interest in art, particularly in sculpting. As a result, a Flemish sculptor named Jacques Duboreucq took him in as an apprentice. Jacques had an enormous impact on Giambologna, which shows through Giambologna’s later masterpieces. By teaching Giambologna modeling and carving, Jacques imparted his Italianate as well as Hellenistic style. Giambologna absorbed these classical styles, which would prove critical to his success later on in his career. Around 1550, Giambologna went to Italy and further pursued his career in Rome for two years. On the way back from the trip, he decided to settle in Florence, where he would remain for the rest of his life. In Florence, Giambologna produced several masterful sculptures. He started with a series of marble statues, which included Samson slaying a Philistine (1561), Florence Triumphant over Pisa (1575), The Rape of a Sabine (1581), and Hercules and the Centaur (1594). He also designed the Fountain of Neptune for Bologna, which is another example of his work. All of these pieces epitomized complex twisting poses and represented the peak of Mannerist art. During his time in Florence, Giambologna worked for the Medici family. He made a multitude of statues for the family, including the monument to Duke Cosimo I (1587), which was the first equestrian statue made in Florence. This statue later became a model for statues all over Europe. Another important work Giambologna made for the Medici was his largest, the Mountain God Appennino (1577). This masterpiece was made of brick and stone and fused effortlessly with the environment around it. Giambologna had many reasons for success. For instance, he created both secular and religious pieces to appeal to all audiences. However Giambologna’s success did not only come from major sculptures. He also made small, bronze statuettes, his most famous being Flying Mercury (1580). These statuettes were spread throughout Europe and were responsible for spreading Giambologna’s reputation. Thus, by the time of his death, Giambologna had not only made a name for himself, but also revolutionized Mannerist art and influenced future artists to come. Bibliography Avery, Charles.

Sophia Spach October 2009 Raphael Rafaello Sanzio also known as Raphael was born on April 6, 1483 in Urbino, Italy. He was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. He is part of what is called the “trinity” of great artists of the time period, along with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. Although he died at the young age of thirty-seven in 1520, he was very successful and created a large amount of paintings, drawings, etc… He is best known for his Madonna’s and his large figures in Rome. He received much of his early training in art from his father, Giovanni Santi, who was also an artist. His artwork can be divided into three different styles, Umbria, which were his first few years, Florence, which lasted for about four years, and Rome, which lasted for about twelve years. He even worked for the Pope at one point. Some of Raphael’s techniques were different than many other artists, for example, before he would do a painting or drawing he did many different rough drafts before the actual piece was started, each detail had to be exactly right before he would do the final copy. His drawings are very precise down to the shading, highlights, and outline of the figures and objects. Raphael was open to new ideas therefore he explored many different mediums and subjects. Some of the mediums he used were oil on wood, oil on canvas and oil on roundhead panel. He also designed a few different buildings, and at this time became one of the most important architects. He also helped to design St. Peter’s Basilica, one of the most important Catholic churches, which is located in the Vatican City. He was very involved with the pope and the Catholic Church, which was reflected in every aspect of his work.

Donatello Scott Murr Donatello was born 1386 in Firenze, Italy to Niccoló diBretto Bardi. Not much is known about his personal behavior, but his artist style and revolutionary ideas of bringing back ancient Roman art and design along with his artist sculpturing has made him a world known sculpture. He was among the earliest artist to revive classical Roman lettering and architecture. He is believed to have learned his artistic sculpting from the sculptors that worked on the nearby Cathedral of Florence around 1400. A few years later, his artistic sculpting led him to become a member of the Workshop of Lorenzo Ghiberti. He displayed his gratitude to Ghiberti when he constructed his first sculpture, the marble statue of David as a sign of his debt to Ghiberti. The Full power of Donatello’s artistic style appeared in his two marble statues St. Mark and St. John in the Church of Florence. During these two marble sculptures, he invented a new style of creating a richer depth of field that made his sculptures come to life. He began to chisel in short strokes and light taps that gave the sculpture atmospheric space. Artist of the era referred to his artwork as “Painting his sculptures rather than chiseling them. Donatello explored with this method from 1420- 1435. Some of his artistic pieces in this style are The Accension, Feast of Herod, St. Louis of Toulouse, Assumption of the Virgin, Pulpit of Prado Cathedral and the bronze effigy on the center of Pope John XXIII’s coffin. His artistic style shows an unorthodox ornamental vocabulary, which he used from both classical and medieval sources and an ability to blur artistic sculpturing with painting of a portrait. Donatello moved to Rome from 1430-33, thus moving away from his good friend Brunelleschi. In spite, Brunelleschi composed epigrams against Donatello for leaving. In 1440, he began making putti nude models, which helped him create the bronze statue of David. Donatello created an equestrian statue, which so enticed the King of Naples that he ordered a similar one named Gattamelata in 1449. Shortly after this, for reasons unknown he fell into depression and refused to work because of the illness. From 1450- 55 he only created two sculptures one of which was the St. John the Bpatist, which was a wooden statue in Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. The other was the Mary Magdalen created for the Florentine Baptistery. He died suddenly in 1466 in his hometown of Firenze. http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/bio/d/donatell/biograph.html Filippo Brunelleschi Alexa Adams Filippo Brunelleschi was one of the primary architechts and engineers of the Italian Renaissance. Most of his major works being in Florence, Italy. He was born in 1377 and died in 1446. In 1398, he became a master goldsmith. Three years later Filippo entered a competition to design a new set of bronze doors for the baptistery in Florence. Unfortunately, his competitor was announced victor because of his superior technical skill. Filippo was trained in the medieval manner and transitioned into the new classicism architecture we know as the Renaissance. By 1400 there emerged an interest in humanities, which contrasted with the formalism of the medieval period. Initially this new interest in Roman antiquity was restricted to a few scholars, writers and philosophers; it did not at first influence the visual arts. Like Brunelleschi, Donatello grew up as a goldsmith and visited Rome.

It is probably a misreading of the secondary source on the Order’s administration, that we read the statement by Kerr: “individual Cistercian houses were joined together in familial bonds and arranged in a hierarchy” (82). This is only partially correct, for a foremost principle of the Cistercian Charter of Charity (whatever its date) is that Cistercian abbeys and their abbots were to treat one another equally, unlike in the monarchical hierarchy of Cluny. Despite calling Cîteaux “the mother of us all,” there is no single abbot ruling the Order, but a collective head, the General Chapter of all abbots. The chapter on Cistercian spirituality, given the limited space, provides interesting evidence from saints’ lives about (often female) mystics who may have had ties to Cistercians.

  • Domenico Ghirlandaio 1 Domenico Ghirlandaio
    Domenico Ghirlandaio 1 Domenico Ghirlandaio Domenico Ghirlandaio Supposed self-portrait, from Adoration of the Magi, 1488 Birth name Domenico di Tommaso Curradi di Doffo Bigordi Born 11 January 1449Florence, Italy Died 11 January 1494 (aged 45)Florence, Italy (buried in the church of Santa Maria Novella) Nationality Italian Field Painter Movement Italian Renaissance Works Paintings in: Church of Ognissanti, Palazzo Vecchio, Santa Trinita, Tornabuoni Chapel in Florence and Sistine Chapel, Rome Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449 – 11 January 1494) was an Italian Renaissance painter from Florence. Among his many apprentices was Michelangelo. Biography Early years Ghirlandaio's full name is given as Domenico di Tommaso di Currado di Doffo Bigordi. The occupation of his father Tommaso Bigordi and his uncle Antonio in 1451 was given as "'setaiuolo a minuto,' that is, dealers of silks and related objects in small quantities." He was the eldest of six children born to Tommaso Bigordi by his first wife Mona Antonia; of these, only Domenico and his brothers and collaborators Davide and Benedetto survived childhood. Tommaso had two more children by his second wife, also named Antonia, whom he married in 1464. Domenico's half-sister Alessandra (b. 1475) married the painter Bastiano Mainardi in 1494.[1] Domenico was at first apprenticed to a jeweller or a goldsmith, most likely his own father. The nickname "Il Ghirlandaio" (garland-maker) came to Domenico from his father, a goldsmith who was famed for creating the metallic garland-like necklaces worn by Florentine women. In his father's shop, Domenico is said to have made portraits of the passers-by, and he was eventually apprenticed to Alessio Baldovinetti to study painting and mosaic.

  • Gender Dynamics in Renaissance Florence Mary D
    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal Vol. 11, No. 1 • Fall 2016 The Cloister and the Square: Gender Dynamics in Renaissance Florence Mary D. Garrard eminist scholars have effectively unmasked the misogynist messages of the Fstatues that occupy and patrol the main public square of Florence — most conspicuously, Benvenuto Cellini’s Perseus Slaying Medusa and Giovanni da Bologna’s Rape of a Sabine Woman (Figs. 1, 20). In groundbreaking essays on those statues, Yael Even and Margaret Carroll brought to light the absolutist patriarchal control that was expressed through images of sexual violence.1 The purpose of art, in this way of thinking, was to bolster power by demonstrating its effect. Discussing Cellini’s brutal representation of the decapitated Medusa, Even connected the artist’s gratuitous inclusion of the dismembered body with his psychosexual concerns, and the display of Medusa’s gory head with a terrifying female archetype that is now seen to be under masculine control. Indeed, Cellini’s need to restage the patriarchal execution might be said to express a subconscious response to threat from the female, which he met through psychological reversal, by converting the dangerous female chimera into a feminine victim.2 1 Yael Even, “The Loggia dei Lanzi: A Showcase of Female Subjugation,” and Margaret D.

  • MONTEPULCIANO's PALAZZO COMUNALE, 1440 – C.1465: RETHINKING CASTELLATED CIVIC PALACES in FLORENTINE ARCHITECTURAL and POLITI
    MONTEPULCIANO’S PALAZZO COMUNALE, 1440 – c.1465: RETHINKING CASTELLATED CIVIC PALACES IN FLORENTINE ARCHITECTURAL AND POLITICAL CONTEXTS Two Volumes Volume I Koching Chao Ph.D. University of York History of Art September 2019 ABSTRACT This thesis argues for the significance of castellated civic palaces in shaping and consolidating Florence’s territorial hegemony during the fifteenth century. Although fortress-like civic palaces were a predominant architectural type in Tuscan communes from the twelfth century onwards, it is an understudied field. In the literature of Italian Renaissance civic and military architecture, the castellated motifs of civic palaces have either been marginalised as an outdated and anti-classical form opposing Quattrocento all’antica taste, or have been oversimplified as a redundant object lacking defensive functionality. By analysing Michelozzo’s Palazzo Comunale in Montepulciano, a fifteenth-century castellated palace resembling Florence’s thirteenth-century Palazzo dei Priori, this thesis seeks to address the ways in which castellated forms substantially legitimised Florence’s political, military and cultural supremacy. Chapter One examines textual and pictorial representations of Florence’s castellation civic palaces and fortifications in order to capture Florentine perceptions of castellation. This investigation offers a conceptual framework, interpreting the profile of castellated civic palaces as an effective architectural affirmation of the contemporary idea of a powerful city-republic rather than being a symbol of despotism as it has been previously understood. Chapters Two and Three examine Montepulciano’s renovation project for the Palazzo Comunale within local and central administrative, socio-political, and military contexts during the first half of the fifteenth century, highlighting the Florentine features of Montepulciano’s town hall despite the town’s peripheral location within the Florentine dominion.

The Construction History of the Fifteenth-Century Basilica of San Lorenzo: A Proposed Narrative The basilica of San Lorenzo is one of the most intensively studied buildings in Florence (Figures 2-1 and 2-3). Today the fifteenth-century core of a large religious and funerary complex that embodies over half a millennium of architectural accretion, this basilica has attracted the sustained attention of chroniclers and historians beginning even before its completion in the 1480s due to its exceptional architectural and historical significance, and to the survival of extensive archival materials pertaining to its construction and patronage.1 Most architectural historians agree that the basilica of San Lorenzo, which owes its present appearance primarily to Filippo Brunelleschi, constitutes the first fully-developed example of the Renaissance style. Questions remain, however, about the extent and chronology of Brunelleschi’s contributions, and to what extent the old Romanesque basilica of San Lorenzo that the present one replaced (hereinafter referred to as “the old basilica”) influenced the present design.

  • Inter Cultural Studies of Architecture (ICSA) in Rome 2019
    Intercultural Understanding, 2019, volume 9, pages 30-38 Inter Cultural Studies of Architecture (ICSA) in Rome 2019 A general exchange agreement between Mukogawa Women’s University (MWU) and Bahçeúehir㻌 University (BAU) was signed㻌 on December 8, 2008. According to this agreement, 11 Japanese second-year master’s degree students majoring in architecture visited Italy from February 19, 2019, to March 2, 2019. The purpose of “Intercultural Studies of Architecture (ICSA) in Rome” program is to gain a deeper understanding of western architecture and art. Italy is a country well known for its extensive cultural heritage and architecture. Many of the western world’s construction techniques are based, on Italy’s heritage and architecture. Therefore, Italy was selected as the most appropriate destination for this program. Based on Italy’s historic background, the students were able to investigate the structure, construction methods, spatial composition, architectural style, artistic desires based on social conditions, and design intentions of architects and artists for various buildings. This year’s program focused on “ancient Roman architecture and sculpture,” “early Christian architecture,” “Renaissance architecture, sculpture, and garden,” and “Baroque architecture and sculpture. ” Before the ICSA trip to Rome, the students attended seminars on studying historic places during their visit abroad and were asked to make a presentation about the stuff that they learned during these seminars. During their trip to Rome, the students had the opportunity to deepen their understanding of architecture and art, measure the height and span of architecture, and draw sketches and make presentations related to some sites that they have visited. A report describing the details of this program is given below.
