He was born Raffaello Santi or Raffaello Sanzio in Urbino on April 6, 1483, and received his early training in art from his father, the painter Giovanni Santi. According to many art historians, he also studied with Timoteo Viti at Urbino, executing under his influence a number of works of miniaturelike delicacy and poetic atmosphere, including Apollo and Marsyas (Louvre, Paris) and The Knight's Dream (1501?, National Gallery, London). In 1499 he went to Perugia, in Umbria, and became a student and assistant of the painter Perugino. Raphael imitated his master closely; their paintings of this period are executed in styles so similar that art historians have found it difficult to determine which were painted by Raphael. Among Raphael's independent works executed at Perugia are two large-scale paintings, the celebrated Sposalizio, or Marriage of the Virgin (1504, Brera Gallery, Milan), and 2/3 The Crucified Christ with the Virgin Mary, Saints and Angels (1503?, National Gallery, London). • We provide hand painted reproductions of old master paintings.

  • 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.

BUNNETT TRANSLATOR OF GRIMM'S ' LIFE OF MICHAEL ANGELO' AND GERVINUS'S 'SHAKESPEARE COMMENTARIES LONDON SMITH, ELDER, & CO., 65 CORNHILL 1866 759.5 R12wEb TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. HAVING translated Grimm's 'Life of Michael Angelo,' I was desirous of finding some memoir of his great contemporary Eaphael, which might complete the picture we already possess of a period so rich in the history of Art. It was not easy to meet with a work which was not too diffuse in its art-criticisms for the ordinary reader, and until Wolzogen's 'Life of Eaphael' appeared, there was no concise biography of the great painter which seemed to me to supply the information required. It is for this reason that I have translated the work; and I trust it will not be without interest to those who have hitherto known Eaphael in his art alone. F. E. BUNNETT. PREFACE. EAPHAEL-LITERATURE already fills a library of its own. Extensive works, such as Passavant's ' Eafael von Urbino und sein Vater Giovanni Santi' (three volumes, with maps, Leipsic, 1839-58), are among its treasures; but there is ever lacking a concise summary of all the more important investigations and decisions hitherto arrived at with regard to the great master's life and works. The best and most spirited of these are for the most part, moreover, in various papers and pamphlets, in which Eaphael is not the sole subject.

  • A Study of Winifred Knights, 1915-1933
    A Study of Winifred Knights, 1915-1933 Rosanna Eckersley Department of Art History and World Art Studies University of East Anglia A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2015 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any formation derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Winifred Knights, 1899-1947, was a student at the Slade School of Art from 1915, where she developed a decorative manner of rhythmic, repetitive forms, one form of cautious modernism. In 1920 she was the first woman to win the Rome Prize in Decorative Painting. The award was for three years at the British School at Rome. Knights often chose to base her paintings on biblical subjects, or the lives of saints. She was not religious and I argue that these stories, which were well-known in Britain at the time, were vehicles to represent the lives of women and families in the unsettled years during and after WWI. Many women artists have depicted domestic scenes, but Knights chose the exterior and multi-figure compositions, including many self-portraits. She used these compositions to explore women‟s vulnerability, rebellion against male control, maternity and the self-sufficiency of a women‟s community. Personal material is present in all her work and much of it deals with the traumas she suffered.

Besides being the first work executed by the great artist in the Vatican they mark the beginning of the high Renaissance. The room takes its name from the highest court of the Holy See, the "Segnatura Gratiae et Iustitiae", which was presided over by the pontiff and used to meet in this room around the middle of the 16th century. Originally the room was used by Julius II (pontiff from 1503 to 1513) as a library and private office. The iconographic program of the frescoes, which were painted between 1508 and 1511, is related to this function. It was certainly established by a theologian and meant to represent the three greatest categories of the human spirit: Truth, Good and Beauty. Supernatural Truth is illustrated in the Disputation of the Most Holy Sacrament (theology), while rational Truth is illustrated in the School of Athens (philosophy). Good is expressed in the Cardinal and Theological Virtues and the Law. Beauty is represented in the Parnassus with Apollo and the Muses. The frescoes of the ceiling are connected with the scenes below them. The allegorical figures of Theology, Philosophy, Justice and Poetry allude in fact to the faculties of the spirit painted on the corresponding walls.

Italian Hours by Lucy Gordan https://www.lavocedinewyork.com/en/arts/2019/10/30/commemorating-raphaels-death-after-500-years-vasaris-dio-mortale-lives-on/ Page 1 of 18 Commemorating Raphaelʼs Death: After 500 Years Vasariʼs ‘Dio Mortaleʼ Lives on – La Voce di New York 11/11/19, 334 PM Raffaello_Madonna-Aldobrandini Oct 30 2019 One year after the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the great Leonardo’s death, comes Raphael’s turn. From the US to Italy, to Switzerland and beyond, the world celebrates Raphael’s genius and puts the spotlight on his major and minor works. Like the many exhibitions worldwide in 2019 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Leonardo Da Vinci’s death, 2020 will be Raphael’s turn. The “dio mortale”, as biographer Vasari nicknamed him, was born in the small but artistically significant central Italian city of Urbino, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998, in the Marche region, on March 28 or April 6, 1483, and he died in Rome on April 6, 1520. https://www.lavocedinewyork.com/en/arts/2019/10/30/commemorating-raphaels-death-after-500-years-vasaris-dio-mortale-lives-on/ Page 2 of 18 Commemorating Raphaelʼs Death: After 500 Years Vasariʼs ‘Dio Mortaleʼ Lives on – La Voce di New York 11/11/19, 334 PM According to Vasari, Raphael’s career falls naturally into three phases and three styles, his early years in Umbria working with Perugino and Pinturicchio, then a period of about four years (1504-1508) absorbing the artistic traditions of Florence from Leonardo, followed by his last hectic and triumphant twelve years in Rome, working for Popes Julius II and Leo X and their close associates.
