Étiqueté : michelangelo

Parution : Cieri Via, Cassegrain, Di Cola, Koering et Schwartz (dir.), Leo Steinberg Now. Il pensiero attraverso gli occhi, Rome, Campisano Editore, 2022

L’OPERA Pochi storici dell’arte hanno scosso il corso tranquillo della nostra disciplina accademica quanto Leo Steinberg (1920-2011). Dagli affreschi del Rinascimento (Leonardo, Michelangelo), fino all’arte americana del dopoguerra (De Kooning, Rauschenberg), passando per l’architettura barocca (Borromini), per la scultura di Rodin e per l’arte di Picasso, non c’e stato artista noto, o movimento artistico, che non sia stato posto sotto una nuova luce dalle ricerche di Steinberg. Che lo si associ a Other Criteria, a...

Conférence : Raymond Carlson, « Michelangelo and the Salvageability of Desire », Oxford, University of Oxford, 25 octobre 2022

Tuesday 25 October, 4:30 pm St Edmund Hall, Old Dining Hall Among the hundreds of poems written by Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564), a substantial proportion are given to amorous topics. To whom Michelangelo addressed his love and his verses, however, has resisted definitive consensus despite attracting commentary for nearly five centuries. This talk redirects the question of identifying the object of Michelangelo’s love to how his creative output makes this knowable to history. By analyzing an...

Exposition : “Idols & Rivals, Artists in Competition”, Vienne, Kunsthistorisches Museum, du 20 septembre 2022 au 8 janvier 2023

With outstanding works by Dürer, Tintoretto, Sofonisba, Cellini, Rubens, Borromini and many more, the cultural autumn in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna is launched. At the centre of the exhibition is the competition among the artists themselves, but also with famous models, above all Michelangelo. Numerous artistic confrontations from antiquity to the time around 1800 are traced and rival works are juxtaposed. Many of the selected paintings and sculptures will be on show in Austria for...

Parution : Francesco Caglioti (ed), “Donatello: The Renaissance”, Venise, Marsilio, 2022

  A beautiful appraisal of the Renaissance sculptor’s achievements, contextualized with works by his contemporaries. The first thorough overview of the artist in many years, Donatello: The Renaissance reconstructs the outstanding career of one of the greatest sculptors in Western art. Famed for his incredibly sensual sculpture of David—the first freestanding nude male sculpture since antiquity—Donatello (c. 1386–1466) also made reliefs, but was best known for statues in the round. Accompanying a truly historic exhibition...

Parution : Inge Reist, “When Michelangelo Was Modern”, Brill, Leyde, 2022

Through case studies of collectors, patrons, and agents who redefined collecting and the art market, this volume illuminates how the changing status of the artist, rise of connoisseurship, role of intermediaries and new patterns of consumption established models for collecting and display that resemble those still practiced today. The book presents new research by recognized scholars who examine the motivations of collectors and agents, emphasizing how their collecting, patronage and advocacy could require support of...

Exposition : “Michelangelo: l’effigie in bronzo di Daniele da Volterra”, Florence, Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze, du 15 février au 19 juin 2022

Michelangelo: l’effigie in bronzo di Daniele da Volterra, a cura di Cecilie Hollberg, è una mostra studio unica e inconsueta che parte da un discorso fatto di quesiti ancora aperti per arrivare a soluzioni nuove con metodi innovativi. È la prima volta che vengono riuniti questi nove busti simili, alcuni apparentemente quasi uguali, che riportano i tratti di Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 – 1564). Proprio quell’effigie che tutti noi siamo abituati a collegare con l’incomparabile artista...

Parution : Marsha Libina, “Sebastiano del Piombo and the Sacred Image”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2022

On account of the artists’ collaborative practice, Sebastiano del Piombo’s oeuvre is often misconstrued as a coloristic supplement to Michelangelo’s disegno or as a mere extension of the older master’s drawings and ideas. Marsha Libina’s book complicates this narrative by offering a critical reevaluation of the devotional art of Sebastiano del Piombo (1485–1547), an important Venetian artist whose Roman work stands at the nexus of questions regarding art, religious reform and the largely unexplored history of artistic collaboration. Investigating...

Exposition : “Michelangelo: i bronzi della Passione”, Mantoue, Palazzo Ducale, du 18 mars au 15 juin 2022.

Michelangelo Buonarroti è semplicemente il “divino” Michelangelo, l’archetipo degli artisti di tutti i tempi. Grande fu la sua fama, anche in vita: nonostante la sua attività si sia concentrata su Roma e Firenze, anche la Mantova dei Gonzaga dovette fare i conti con l’ineludibile influenza di quel gigante. Il 22 febbraio del 1527 Federico II scriveva di essere da “molt’anni (…) amatore dello excellentissimo messer Michele Angelo” e – in un significativo ribaltamento di ruoli...

Conférence en ligne : Christian Kleinbub, Art and Internal Anatomy – Michelangelo, Bronzino, and Mannerist Bodies, 8 février 2022, 5:00-6:30 pm (CET)

Christian Kleinbub – Ohio State University Building on the speaker’s research on Michelangelo’s investment in internal anatomical matters, this talk proposes that other artists of his time, especially Bronzino, paid particular attention to the meaning of the internal organs like the liver, heart, and brain, referencing those organs to explain the internal states of represented bodies. Although such references were only occasionally systematic, this talk contends that they contributed to something like an elite visual language of...

Parution : Ita Mac Carthy, The Grace of the Italian Renaissance, Princeton University Press, 2020

“Grace” emerges as a keyword in the culture and society of sixteenth-century Italy. The Grace of the Italian Renaissance explores how it conveys and connects the most pressing ethical, social and aesthetic concerns of an age concerned with the reactivation of ancient ideas in a changing world. The book reassesses artists such as Francesco del Cossa, Raphael and Michelangelo and explores anew writers like Castiglione, Ariosto, Tullia d’Aragona and Vittoria Colonna. It shows how these artists and...
