  • Early Sources Informing Leon Battista Alberti's De Pictura
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Alberti Before Florence: Early Sources Informing Leon Battista Alberti’s De Pictura A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Art History by Peter Francis Weller 2014 © Copyright by Peter Francis Weller 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Alberti Before Florence: Early Sources Informing Leon Battista Alberti’s De Pictura By Peter Francis Weller Doctor of Philosophy in Art History University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Charlene Villaseñor Black, Chair De pictura by Leon Battista Alberti (1404?-1472) is the earliest surviving treatise on visual art written in humanist Latin by an ostensible practitioner of painting. The book represents a definitive moment of cohesion between the two most conspicuous cultural developments of the early Renaissance, namely, humanism and the visual arts. This dissertation reconstructs the intellectual and visual environments in which Alberti moved before he entered Florence in the curia of Pope Eugenius IV in 1434, one year before the recorded date of completion of De pictura. For the two decades prior to his arrival in Florence, from 1414 to 1434, Alberti resided in Padua, Bologna, and Rome. Examination of specific textual and visual material in those cities – sources germane to Alberti’s humanist and visual development, and thus to the ideas put forth in De pictura – has been insubstantial. This dissertation will therefore present an investigation into the sources available to Alberti in Padua, Bologna and Rome, and will argue that this material helped to shape the prescriptions in Alberti’s canonical Renaissance tract. By more fully accounting for his intellectual and artistic progression before his arrival in Florence, this forensic reconstruction aims to fill a gap in our knowledge of Alberti’s formative years and thereby underline impact of his early career upon his development as an art theorist.

  • Il Calcare Grigio Di Noriglio E Il Marmo Di Candoglia
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Almae Matris Studiorum Campus Due singolari pietre nelle architetture estensi e malatestiane: il calcare grigio di Noriglio e il marmo di Candoglia Gian Carlo Grillini Lo studio dei materiali lapidei naturali (le pietre) e artificiali (malte, intonaci, terrecotte e laterizi) trovano oggi nel campo del restauro e della conservazione dei beni monumentali una collocazione ideale, in quanto la conoscenza dei materiali, delle cause e dei processi di alterazione sono essenziali sia per la completa conoscenza del bene culturale, sia per una piena consapevolezza dei problemi di conservazione, tutela e corretto restauro. Le ricerche petrografiche spesso portano a considerazioni legate non solo all’arte e all’architettura, ma permettono di ipotizzare utilizzi particolari e circostanziati nel corso dei secoli, con risvolti legati a rapporti politici tra le varie signorie, alleanze e matrimoni. Gli studi condotti su due importanti monumenti (il campanile della Cattedrale di Ferrara e il Tempio Malatestiano a Rimini) in occasione delle recenti campagne di restauro, hanno messo a disposizione degli storici dell’architettura una quantità di informazioni, solo in minima parte pubblicate e interpretate1. Rimini e in particolare Ferrara sono città in cui l’assenza di cave e di materiali lapidei nel territorio vicino ha favorito e condizionato l’importazione di pietre provenienti in gran parte dall’area veronese, vicentina, euganea e istriana. Tale commercio era favorito dal costo d’acquisto e di trasporto, dai rischi minori che il trasporto via acqua comportava e dai rapporti politico-economici con gli stati di Verona e Venezia, soprattutto durante il medioevo e l’età rinascimentale.

  • The Choreographic Imagination in Renaissance Art
    THE CHOREOGRAPHIC IMAGINATION IN RENAISSANCE ART Olivia Powell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Olivia Powell All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Choreographic Imagination in Renaissance Art Olivia Powell This dissertation studies the complex relationship between Italian Renaissance art and dance. Interdisciplinary scholarship has hitherto focused on Renaissance dance treatises, which often exhibit parallels with contemporary writings on painting and sculpture. My research goes beyond the textual parallels to focus instead on the mechanisms of figuration in the visual arts, and on the corporeal sensibility of the Renaissance image. I examine the ways in which figural patterns, interactions, and gestures can be understood in terms of choreography. At issue is the nature of figural composition and of the figure itself, the characteristics of the dancing body and the role of that body within the corporeal imagination of the artist. The fundamental thesis is that the Renaissance artist can be considered a choreographer in his own right. Chapter One (From Solo to Chorus) provides a framework for thinking about the artist as choreographer by discussing at length Leon Battista Alberti’s On Painting (1435/36). First, I show that Alberti’s definition of figural composition is essentially choreographic, in that it concerns the formal organization of bodies that move with expressive purpose. Secondly, I analyze Alberti’s emphasis upon the Calumny of Apelles and the Three Graces, themes from Antiquity that express an aesthetic held in tension between the poles of fury and grace.

  • Leon Battista Alberti (Pag.92-93)
    Leon Battista Alberti (pag.92-93) Se Filippo Brunelleschi, Masaccio e Donatello furono i protagonisti indiscussi del primo Rinascimento fiorentino e coloro ai quali si deve, anzi, l’esistenza stessa del Rinascimento figurativo, spetta invece a Leon Battista Alberti il merito di aver dato una sistematizzazione teorica alle scoperte, alle innovazioni e agli ideali artistici del primo Quattrocento. Leon Battista nacque a Genova da una ricca famiglia fiorentina in esilio dal 1401. Dalla città ligure si trasferì dapprima a Venezia e quindi a Padova. Si laureò in Diritto a Bologna nel 1428, anno della revoca del bando con il quale la sua famiglia era stata esiliata. Solo dopo tale data Leon Battista poté vedere per la prima volta Firenze, la città degli avi. Nel 1443 tornò definitivamente a Roma, città in cui morì nell'aprile del 1472. L’Alberti fu uno dei più colti e raffinati umanisti, ma, al contrario di altri, non si dedicò alla ricerca di codici di opere classiche, non ne preparò mai edizioni, né studiò gli scritti degli Antichi per puro piacere letterario. Per lui l'antichità era fonte inesauribile di insegnamento: era il passato che giustificava il presente, un qualcosa che doveva essere continuato, con il quale confrontarsi e che, dunque, poteva anche essere superato. Tempio Malatestiano (pag. 95, 96, 97, 98, 99) l primo intervento architettonico attuato dall’Alberti, ormai più che quarantenne, è costituito dal rifacimento della chiesa gotica di San Francesco a Rimini. Nota anche come Tempio Malatestiano, secondo la volontà del committente, Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta (1417-1468), signore della città, essa avrebbe dovuto trasformarsi in un monumento celebrativo della memoria di lui, dell’amante (poi moglie) Isotta degli Atti (ca 1432-1474), nonché di quella dei più importanti umanisti della corte riminese.

It was originally in Gothic style, but was transformed by order of Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta according to the designs of Leon Battista Alberti and never completed The Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini is one of the highest points of Italian art, one that could not possibly be omitted from Mirabilia Italiae. Although left unfinished after at least three planning stages (or rather, for this very reason), it immediately evokes a complex interplay and balance between intention and invention, between antique and modern. It evokes the lord of Rimini, Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta (barely thirty-three at the time), his beloved Isotta and his familial and dynastic topographies, together with the bloody battles he fought as a mercenary captain, his early successes and his terrible defeats. It evokes a whole series of key names, prominent among them being that of Leon Battista Alberti, here working for the first time as a creative architect.
