    Alumni Travel Study From Galleries to Gardens The Best of Renaissance Florence April 28 – May 6, 2019 Featuring Study Leader Molly Bourne ’87, Professor of Art History and Coordinator of the Master’s Program in Renaissance Art at Syracuse University Florence Immerse yourself in the tranquil, elegant beauty of Italy’s grandest gardens and noble estates. Discover the beauty, drama, and creativity of the Italian Renaissance by spending a week in Florence—the “Cradle of the Renaissance”—with fellow Williams College alumni. In addition to a dazzling array of special openings, invitations into private homes, and splendid feasts of Tuscan cuisine, this tour offers the academic leadership of Molly Bourne (Williams Class of ’87), art history professor at Syracuse University Florence. From the early innovations of Giotto, Brunelleschi, and Masaccio to the grand accomplishments of Michelangelo, our itinerary will uncover the very best of Florence’s Renaissance treasury. Outside of Florence, excursions to delightful Siena and along the Piero della Francesca trail will provide perspectives on the rise of the Renaissance in Tuscany. But the program is not merely an art seminar—interactions with local food and wine experts, lunches inside beautiful private homes, meanders through stunning private gardens, and meetings with traditional artisans will complement this unforgettable journey. Study Leader MOLLY BOURNE (BA Williams ’87; PhD Harvard ’98) has taught art history at Syracuse University Florence since 1999, where she is also Coordinator of their Master’s Program in Renaissance Art History. A member of the Accademia Nazionale Virgiliana, she has also served as project researcher for the Medici Archive Project and held a fellowship at Villa I Tatti, the Harvard Center for Renaissance Studies.

  • 1 Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the Universi
    Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Visual Culture In March 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature)…………………………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract The church of Santo Spirito in Florence is universally accepted as one of the architectural works of Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446). It is nevertheless surprising that contrary to such buildings as San Lorenzo or the Old Sacristy, the church has received relatively little scholarly attention. Most scholarship continues to rely upon the testimony of Brunelleschi’s earliest biographer, Antonio di Tuccio Manetti, to establish an administrative and artistic initiation date for the project in the middle of Brunelleschi’s career, around 1428. Through an exhaustive analysis of the biographer’s account, and subsequent comparison to the extant documentary evidence from the period, I have been able to establish that construction actually began at a considerably later date, around 1440. It is specifically during the two and half decades after Brunelleschi’s death in 1446 that very little is known about the proceedings of the project. A largely unpublished archival source which records the machinations of the Opera (works committee) of Santo Spirito from 1446-1461, sheds considerable light on the progress of construction during this period, as well as on the role of the Opera in the realization of the church.

  • Passport to Bronzino: Art and Poetry in Renaissance Florence
    passaporto per bronzino: arte e poesia nella firenze rinascimentale passport to bronzino: art and poetry in renaissance florence passaporto per bronzino: arte e poesia nella firenze rinascimentale passport to bronzino: art and poetry in renaissance florence passaporto per bronzino: arte e poesia nella firenze rinascimentale Il Bronzino è il pittore fiorentino per antonomasia e Palazzo Strozzi la sede perfetta per la prima mostra monografica dei suoi dipinti. Figlio di un macellaio, Agnolo di Cosimo, meglio conosciuto come il Bronzino, è uno dei maggiori artisti della storia della pittura italiana, attivo negli anni in cui Cosimo I de’ Medici governa Firenze. I dipinti del Bronzino ritrassero l’elegante corte medicea con una bellezza allo stesso tempo austera e naturalistica, con gelido e aristocratico splendore. Sofisticato pittore, Bronzino fu anche poeta. La sua opera e la sua poesia sono capaci di alternare registri espressivi: dall’aulico stile accademico del Petrarca a versi ironici e satirici come nel Piato, in cui descrive un viaggio immaginario e simbolico attraverso le viscere di un gigante o nella Cipolla, scherzoso ed erotico omaggio alla multiforme natura del carattere femminile. L’eredità del Bronzino viene raccolta da Alessandro Allori, attivo fino al 1607, quando il naturalismo di Caravaggio segna l’inizio di una nuova era in pittura. Tutta l’arte è contemporanea al momento della sua creazione, e sebbene la ‘maniera moderna’ di Bronzino fosse recepita dalle generazioni più giovani come antiquata, a noi appare fresca e contemporanea. James M. Bradburne passport to bronzino: art and poetry in renaissance florence Bronzino is the quintessential Florentine painter, and Palazzo Strozzi the perfect setting for the first ever monographic exhibition of his paintings.

  • Passaporto Per Denaro E Bellezza Passport to Money and Beauty Passaporto Per Denaro E Bellezza
    PASSAPORTO PER DENARO E BELLEZZA PASSPORT TO MONEY AND BEAUTY PASSAPORTO PER DENARO E BELLEZZA Le banche rappresentano una parte talmente importante del mondo moderno che è impossibile immaginarlo senza di esse; tuttavia sono un’invenzione relativamente recente, nata dalla crescente mobilità e dal commercio sviluppatosi a partire dalla fne del XII secolo. Le grandi famiglie toscane di mercanti-banchieri – Bardi, Peruzzi e, molto più tardi i Medici – hanno lasciato durevoli testimonianze del proprio talento in campo fnanziario, non solo accumulando enormi fortune, ma traducendole in opere d’arte che sono divenute parte del patrimonio culturale mondiale. La più antica banca al mondo ancora operante – il Monte dei Paschi – fu fondata a Siena nel 1472, solo 25 anni prima dei “roghi delle vanità” del predicatore integralista Savonarola, per i quali i forentini consegnarono per essere bruciate le “cose vane” preziose come gioielli, specchi e opere d’arte possedute. Denaro e Bellezza. I banchieri, Botticelli e il rogo delle vanità non è una mostra su un singolo artista, sebbene si chiuda con molti dipinti di Botticelli e presti particolare attenzione all’infuenza esercitata su di lui da Savonarola. È qualcosa di anche più interessante: una mostra sulla nascita in Toscana del moderno sistema bancario. James M. Bradburne PASSPORT TO MONEY AND BEAUTY Banks are such an important part of the modern world that it is almost impossible to imagine the world without them. Nevertheless, banks are a relatively recent invention, born from increased mobility and growing European trade in the late 12th century. The great Tuscan banking families—the Bardi, the Peruzzi, and of course much later, the Medici—created lasting monuments to their fnancial ingenuity, not only by amassing vast fortunes, but by translating those fortunes into the works of art that have become a part of the world’s cultural heritage.

  • January 2019 P&F Newsletter LONG
    WELCOME This is the time of year for residents - the halls of galleries and museums are peaceful, making it the ideal moment to linger over attractions that are usually crowded with tourists. Winter is also the season to travel into the hills for skiing and thermal baths, and immersing in the fashion events that take over the city centre. Or if you’d prefer to hide from the cold, then bundle up, light the fire (or a few candles), pour a nice glass of Chianti and snuggle in under a warm blanket. Warmest best wishes for a 2019 filled with joy, laughter, and good health, from SUZANNE, CORSO, BEI, LESLIE, VANNI, ANNA PIA, RAFFAELLA, AND MARISA. PITCHER & FLACCOMIO PICKS FOR JANUARY BEST EVENT FOR JANUARY: LA BEFANA VISITS DURING THE EPIPHANY January 6 On January 6, La Befana arrives in Florence and this is Italy's traditional day of gift giving. In the Christian tradition the name "Befana" is a popular version of the Greek term “Epiphany", which was the festivity following Christmas commemorating the visit of the Magi. According to the legend the three wise men on their journey were stopped by an old woman with a broom who asked them where they were going. They told her that they were following a star that would lead them to a newborn baby, and invited her to come along. But she replied that she was busy sweeping and cleaning and did not go. When she realised her mistake, her regret was so great that she continues to wander about Italy and on the Epiphany (January 6, when the Wise Men finally found the baby Jesus), begins rewarding good children and disappointing those who were bad.
