    RINASCIMENTO - a prof.ssa Emanuela Pulvirenti www.didatticarte.it 11-a. PRIMO RINASCIMENTO CORSO DI DISEGNO E STORIA DELL’ARTE classe III RINASCIMENTO - a prof.ssa Emanuela Pulvirenti www.didatticarte.it EQUILIBRIO DI CONTENUTO E FORMA Il termine Rinascimento venne usato, tra i primi, da Giorgio Vasari alla metà del XVI secolo, per sottolineare il concetto di rina- scita dell’arte e della cultura classica a par- tire dal XV sec. in contrapposizione con il periodo artistico precedente denominato “età di mezzo” (poi Medioevo) poiché era visto come un’interruzione tra la classicità e il Rinascimento. Fu definito in modo sprezzante “gotico”, un termine privo di fondamento storico, derivante dalla convinzione che i Goti (in- tendendo con essi i barbari in generale) avessero distrutto la tradizione artistica rendendo l’arte mostruosa. L’Italia del primo e medio Rinascimento (XV secolo) CORSO DI DISEGNO E STORIA DELL’ARTE classe III RINASCIMENTO - a prof.ssa Emanuela Pulvirenti www.didatticarte.it Il Rinascimento, tuttavia, non è una semplice ripresa dell’antichità classica: si lega indis- solubilmente all’arte medioevale ed è un’arte propria del suo tempo. Uno degli elementi nuovi è la collocazione dell’uomo come centro del mondo, capace di conoscere ciò che lo circonda attraverso la propria ragione, quindi attraverso regole cer- te, scientifiche, matematiche. Ed è questa visione matematica del mondo che porta alla codifica della prospettiva poiché la realtà viene sottoposta a leggi razionali e universali che hanno per riferimento l’occhio umano (dunque l’uomo è padrone dello spazio). Un’altra conseguenza della logica matematica con la quale l’uomo osserva il mondo è la rinnovata ricerca della proporzione e la riscoperta della “sezione aurea”.

  • Florence: Renaissance Art History Johns Hopkins University Intersession in Florence 7 January – 28 January, 2017
    Florence: Renaissance Art History Johns Hopkins University Intersession in Florence 7 January – 28 January, 2017 Instructor: Elizabeth Bernick ([email protected]) Teaching Assistant: Christopher Daly ([email protected]) Course Description: This course will introduce students to the architecture, painting and sculpture produced in Central Italy over a period of three centuries, that is, roughly from 1280-1550. The course will consist of intensive daily lectures for which the students will prepare from assigned readings. Students should come to class prepared with questions and ready to engage in discussion through which they will develop an understanding of visual analysis as well as artistic style and development. Emphasis will be placed on understanding artworks within their original cultural and historical contexts. This approach will necessarily include careful consideration of the relationship between artworks and the original architectural spaces within which they were housed. Students will be evaluated according to class participation, group presentations, and written assignments. Readings: Course textbook: Stephen J. Campbell and Michael W. Cole, Italian Renaissance Art, 1st ed. (New York, New York: Thames & Hudson, 2011) – students should order this prior to departure via a vendor like Amazon.com. Electronic copies are available. Additional readings will be made available on a USB stick given to each student. The daily class meetings will include questions and discussion concerning the assigned readings. The students' participation will be evaluated partially based on their demonstration of having read and comprehended the assignments. Writing: Students will write two short papers. The first paper will involve the visual analysis of an object. The second will consist of a critical comparison of two substantial articles about a single work of art or group of works.

  • Art and Experience in Central Italy: Gothic and Renaissance Art and Architecture in Central Italy (VAPA) Castiglion Fiorentino, Toscana, Summer 2016
    ARH f331J (77660): Art and Experience in Central Italy: Gothic and Renaissance Art and Architecture in Central Italy (VAPA) Castiglion Fiorentino, Toscana, Summer 2016 SYLLABUS Dr. Ann Johns, Senior Lecturer, Department of Art and Art History Spring Office Hours: DFA 2.520, MWF 12-2 or by appointment (MWF); email: [email protected] Course Description: (Siena Duomo, left; Brunelleschi’s dome for the Florence Duomo, right) "Then arose new architects who after the manner of their barbarous nations erected buildings in that style which we call Gothic (dei Gotthi)." --- Giorgio Vasari (1511–1574) In this course, we will focus on the rich tradition of both Gothic and Renaissance art and architecture in central Italy. In introductory art history courses, we learn that the Gothic style is the last and most elaborate of medieval modes—builders adorn churches with lacy, fanciful decoration (see Siena Duomo, above), sculpture consists of sweetly smiling saints positioned in a Gothic s-curve, and paintings are richly encrusted with gold leaf and ornamental splendor. In these same introductory courses, we learn that the art of the Italian Renaissance is a return to Antiquity, with its classical architectural forms (see the Florence Duomo, above), sculpture balanced into poses of perfect contrapposto, and painting endowed, thanks to the discovery of scientific perspective, with depth and clarity. What we find when we are in Italy and have the opportunity to look at the real works of art is something much richer and more interesting. We see “Gothic” painters who employ the rudiments of scientific perspective (such as Ambrogio Lorenzetti; image, below), while we encounter “Renaissance” sculptors and architects who also incorporate Gothic decoration and architectural features into their work.

    1 What a Difference a Hundred Years Makes There is no such thing as “ progress ” in art. Unlike modern concepts of science, art cannot be “ dated ” or outmoded. One work of art is not more important because it was made after another. Nor does it make its predeces- sor obsolete. In fact, some of the most valuable works of art are some of the oldest known to us – a Sumerian statue, an Egyptian crown, a Greek tombstone, for example. So, we may ask, why does time matter: why do we study the history of art and not just “ art ” ? Time is not an enemy invented by the gods to confuse us. On the con- trary, in the history of art it is our friend. By paying attention to it we can understand many things that might otherwise elude us. A work of art can, for example, be remarkable in the year that its features were invented, whereas the very same work of art copied a generation later may have less or little value. Even so, in the big picture of the history of art, one hundred years is not much. An ancient Egyptian temple, for example, might be dated within several hundred years, or even a thousand, because styles and ma- terials did not change much in ancient Egypt. But in the Italian Renais- sance, a hundred years is a stellar leap in the chronological ordering of artistic events. This is even more true when we take into account that time is colored by geographic locality, for in different places developments occur at different paces.
