I am back from my trip to Florence, and am covered in history. It is impossible to go to Florence and not be. Unless you are a college student who is doing study abroad and only know about Rafael, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Leonardo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon and movie. It was kind of crazy to be able to walk around and casually see works of art from the 1300s. It is easy to say things like “Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance,” but when you see it in person, it makes quite the impression. Staring at a Giotti or a Botticelli or a Caravaggio leaves a mark. Being able to walk streets or sit in piazzas, thinking about the centuries of footsteps that preceded puts one life in a certain perspective. Speaking of perspective, I don't know if anything quite prepares you for standing in front of David looming over the crowds. Perfectly proportionate but on a whole other scale.  It wasn't just the past that was impressive, but the present as well. The artists who were working on the streets, showing their beautiful works in front of other beautiful works while people walked by in beautiful fashion. Beauty upon beauty upon beauty. While there, I even had the chance to take in a Mark Rothko exhibit, who interestingly enough was influenced by Renaissance art and visited Florence many times.  So much art, so many museums, so many ways to tell the story of this history.  This is why it is good timing to have Will Humphrey of the agency Sugar Creative on Experience by Design. Will started out as a fine artist, having his work exhibited as any artist would. His education combines degrees in Graphic Design and Communication as well as Molecular Genetics. Today he is the Director of Creative and Innovation at Sugar. At Sugar, he is part of a creative force that combines augmented reality, virtual reality, storytelling, and history together to bring the past into the present.  We talk about Sugar's project on the American Revolution that will allow users to experience pivotal historical moments through interactive experiences. Will shared the inspiration he received from his grandfather, who developed anti-aircraft balloons during the Battle of Britain. We share our appreciation of video games, especially those with historical features and lessons, such as Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Will talks about how they are working with Ubisoft to combine gaming and history to make for immersive learning experiences.  Will shares insights from his work on geolocated experiences, highlighting the value of immersing oneself in a set of ideas and understanding the physical and historical context of a place. We also discussed how physical transformations, such as landfill in Boston, affect our understanding of history and the importance of considering the nature of a space in designing experiences.   We cover a lot of ground in this chat, which is about as much ground as I covered walking around Florence and its many museums.

En La Dupla nos hemos preguntado  qué personas (delanteros muy altos, porteros muy bajos, presidentes y presidentas folclóricas...)  no pegaban que pudieran llegar al fútbol y, sin embargo, se quedaron en ese mundo durante bastante tiempo. Con Bob Pop, los oyentes, impagables, nos han recordado en qué lugares (una prisión, un tren , un supermercado... ) encontraron a su último ligue... Mientras que en Mitos nos hemos mirado al espejo y al fondo de armario para sabe qué ropas nos ponemos antes de ir a dormir...  Y en El Artesano la mirada se nos ha ido a los cuadros de Sandro Botticelli. 

Tudi če še niste obiskali Firenc, ste o njih zagotovo že kaj slišali. V italijanski prestolnici renesanse v Toskani, ob reki Arno, vsak kamen nosi zgodovino in vsak kotiček – umetnost. Tam so pustili svoj odtis Michelangelo, da Vinci, Carravagio in Botticelli, tam kraljuje veličastna kupola Brunelleschija, tam Galeria Uffizzi hrani nekatera najimenitnejša dela zgodovine umetnosti … tam ti od lepega res lahko zastane dih. Kaj pa, če te ta umetnost tako prevzame, da spodbudi močan fiziološki in čustven odziv? O Stendhalovem sindromu s prof. dr. Borutom Škodlarjem, psihiatrom in psihoterapevtom. Pripravlja: Mojca Delač.

Pasar horas allí es poco para admirar cada detalle. Después de todo, allí están las pinceladas más famosas de Italia en una reunión de talentosos pintores.La Capilla Sixtina es un edificio adjunto al complejo de la Ciudad del Vaticano. En ese lugar se realizan las votaciones para elegir a un nuevo papa. Fue entre sus paredes donde Miguel Ángel, Botticelli, Rafael y Bernini, enormes pintores de la historia, perpetuaron una obra de arte sin precedentes.En cada centímetro de ese lugar, hay pinturas y frescos de incomparable perfección. Escenas bíblicas e ilustraciones religiosas componen imágenes llenas de color que parecen llevar al visitante a un caleidoscopio infinito.Entrar allí no es barato y la fila da vuelta a la manzana. Pero, confieso que cuando entré olvidé en el acto el cansancio de la espera. Había tantos detalles, significados e impresiones que ni siquiera nos acordamos del reloj, y las horas parecieron segundos.Es increíble ver los dedos de Dios y Adán casi tocándose en la famosa pintura «La creación de Adán». La escena del juicio final es otra que quita el aliento. Y hay muchas otras representaciones por todos lados, como pinturas tridimensionales de columnas, que dan la ilusión de que realmente existen.Aun así, nada se comparará a ver en el cielo las escenas bíblicas tal como realmente sucedieron. Pero mientras no estemos allí, ir a la iglesia puede ayudarnos a imaginar los momentos impresionantes que describe la Palabra de Dios. Por eso, es bueno hacer el culto y adorar al Señor en su casa. Porque ningún artista en el mundo puede traducir con el pincel lo que el Espíritu Santo dibuja en nuestra mente.En este sábado, soñemos con las cosas que Cristo hizo por nosotros. Permitamos que nuestros pensamientos e imaginaciones sobrevuelen las realidades de Dios. Jamás una bella imagen reemplazará una oración sincera, ni una pintura será más viva que el poder del Señor que estimula nuestra creatividad. Y, cuando esto sucede en la iglesia, es aún más inexplicable.¿Por qué no aprovechas el fin de semana para ver aquello que solo se ve con el corazón? Deja que Jesús reine en tu vida y sorpréndete con las promesas bíblicas a tu favor. Sentirás un Dios mucho más real, personal y cercano. ¿No es magnífico?

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MENORES 2026“HEROES Y VILLANOS”Narrado por: Tatania DanielaDesde: Juliaca, PerúUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church10 de FebreroEl héroe mecenas«Ahora, hermanos, queremos contarles cómo se ha mostrado la bondad de Dios en las iglesias de Macedonia. A pesar de las pruebas por las que han tenido que pasar, son muy felices; y a pesar de ser muy pobres, sus ofrendas han sido tan generosas como si fueran ricos» (2 Corintios 8: 1-2).Algunas especialidades, como el arte, estarían muertas de no ser por el generoso apoyo de otros. Históricamente, ese rol se lo debemos a Gayo Cilnio Mecenas (70 a. C. a 8 a. C.), un político y consejero del emperador Augusto en la antigua Roma.Mecenas desempeñó un papel importante en la política romana, actuando como consejero de Augusto y ayudando mantener la estabilidad del régimen. Fue también un hábil diplomático y negociador, y se le atribuye haber contribuido a la expansión del imperio romano a través de acuerdos políticos y alianzas. Mecenas es recordado como uno de los personajes más influyentes y emblemáticos de la época de Augusto, y su nombre se ha convertido en sinónimo de mecenazgo cultural y apoyo a las artes en la historia de Roma.Mecenas llegó a ser conocido por su generosidad y por ser un patrocinador de las artes y la literatura. Patrocinó a numerosos escritores, poetas y artistas de la época, entre ellos Virgilio, Horacio, Ovidio y Propercio, contribuyendo así al florecimiento cultural y artístico de Roma.Gracias a Mecenas, se creó un rol en la sociedad que se conoce precisamente por el nombre de este caballero: ser un mecenas. Un mecenas es una persona que brinda apoyo financiero y estímulo a diversos campos. La palabra mecenas ha llegado a significar «patrocinio» o «filantropía».Lorenzo de' Medici fue un influyente mecenas del Renacimiento italiano, conocido por su apoyo a artistas como Leonardo da Vinci, Miguel Ángel y Botticelli. La reina Isabel I de Inglaterra apoyó a artistas del campo de la literatura y del teatro, y a escritores como William Shakespeare y Christopher Marlowe. Johann Sebastian Bach contó con el apoyo del príncipe Leopold de Anhalt-Köthen y Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart tuvo apoyo del emperador José II de Austria y el barón Gottfried van Swieten.Cuando alguna causa digna requiere apoyo, los que tienen recursos e influencia pueden venir al rescate. Gracias a personas como ellas, otros han podido preservar su arte o sus ideas para beneficio de muchos. Aunque deseable, no necesitamos invertir recursos financieros cuando se trate de apoyar causas dignas. Será notable que haya proyectos u organizaciones cuyas metas son buenas y se verían ayudadas con lo que podamos dar o hacer. Si miramos a nuestro alrededor, no tardaremos mucho en hallar alguna de esas dignas causas. 

What if one of the Northeast's most remarkable art museums wasn't in New York City or Boston, but tucked into the foothills of the Adirondacks?In this episode of ADK Talks, we head to Glens Falls, NY to explore The Hyde Collection—an intimate house museum where Old Masters, modern icons, and deeply personal stories live side by side.We're joined by Bryn Schockmel, Curator of the Permanent Collection and Related Exhibitions, who takes us inside the legacy of founders Louis and Charlotte Hyde and behind the scenes of how world-class art ends up on the walls of a former family home.From Rembrandt, Picasso, and Botticelli to contemporary works and bold new exhibitions, Bryn shares how The Hyde balances honoring its founders' vision while evolving for today's audiences.What you'll hear in this episode:The story of Louis and Charlotte Hyde and how their personal tastes shaped the museumWhy The Hyde feels more like a home than a traditional museumTips for first-time visitors on slowing down and connecting with artBehind-the-scenes logistics of mounting major exhibitionsWhat it's like to courier a painting overseasUpcoming exhibitions including birds, ceramics, Shaker design, and Scandinavian artA local museum recommendation you won't want to missResources:The Hyde Collection (Glen Falls, NY)Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (Boston, MA) National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC)National Museum of Women in the Arts Fenimore Art Museum (Cooperstown, NY) The Clark Art Institute (Williamstown, MA) Vassar College Art Center (Poughkeepsie, NY) Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, MA) Museum of American Bird Art at Mass AudubonThe Frick Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, PA)Lake Placid Olympic Museum (Lake Placid, NY)Adirondack Experience: The Museum on Blue Mountain Lake in NYProduced by NOVA

In this deeply honest and expansive Episode of the VICTORIOUS YOU Podcast, I am joined by the radiant Ola Skibicka for a powerful conversation about truth, freedom, integrity, and conscious embodiment in this new reality.Sometimes souls recognize each other instantly.When Ola and I first connected, it clicked immediately ~ we discovered our shared love for Botticelli, Rachmaninoff, and so much more, and from that very first moment, a deep resonance was present.Together, we explore what it truly means to become a vessel of truth ~ to integrate all parts of ourselves, to live in Oneness while walking a Planet of Duality, and to embody love, integrity, and conscious creatorship in everyday life. In this Episode we speak about

The Medici are remembered as enlightened patrons of art—the family behind Michelangelo, Botticelli, and the Renaissance itself.That version of history is incomplete.In this episode of Hidden Forces in History, we strip away the marble and mythology to examine Medici family as they actually were: a private banking dynasty that embedded itself inside moral authority, captured a republic without abolishing it, and rewrote its legacy through art, architecture, and storytelling.We follow the money—from Florentine ledgers to the Vatican—showing how the Medici:• Plugged into Church finance to gain leverage across Europe• Used patronage as a form of long-term propaganda• Helped trigger the Reformation through indulgence financing• Lost their bank—but preserved their legendThis isn't just a Renaissance story.It's a repeatable playbook—one still used by modern elites, foundations, and institutions today.Same system.Different century.

Algunas famosas obras de arte esconden secretos absolutamente alucinantes. Como, en la "Mona Lisa" de da Vinci, ¡hay todo un misterio alrededor de su sonrisa, algunos dicen que cambia dependiendo de dónde te sitúas! Y mira esto, en la "Noche Estrellada" de Van Gogh, esas nubes en voluta podrían estar realmente inspiradas por patrones climáticos turbulentos que él presenció. Además, existe la teoría de que el "David" de Miguel Ángel podría tener mensajes políticos ocultos tallados. ¡Oh, y no me hagas empezar con los símbolos ocultos en "El nacimiento de Venus" de Botticelli, es como descifrar un antiguo rompecabezas! ¿Verdad que el arte está lleno de sorpresas?

Greg Jenner is joined in 16th-century Italy by historian Professor Jill Burke and comedian Tatty Macleod to learn all about Renaissance beauty standards and treatments.Early modern Italy is renowned for the gorgeous artworks created by painters like Titian, Rubens and Botticelli, many of them featuring beautiful women looking at themselves in mirrors or getting made up for a night out. In this episode, we take you through a Renaissance Get Ready With Me as we explore how these women would have been taking care of their hair and skin. We look at what hairstyles and makeup men and women wore, how often they bathed, whether or not they removed their body hair, and how they shaped their bodies through dieting and underwear. Along the way, we dive into the recipes for popular cosmetics and skincare treatments, ask where Renaissance beauty standards came from, and uncover the sexist, racist and classist ideas that often underpinned them. But we also explore how their beauty routines could be an avenue for women's self-expression, and show the importance of the history of beauty, even amidst the turbulent politics and warfare of the early modern period.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

Aunque los manuales suelen situar el inicio del Renacimiento artístico en el siglo XV, en realidad no fue hasta después de 1527, con el saqueo de Roma, cuando este movimiento adquirió la fuerza simbólica que lo vinculó estrechamente al catolicismo y consolidó su influencia en la pintura, la escultura y la arquitectura de toda Europa. A lo largo de este encuentro con Alberto Garín repasaremos las ideas principales de su nuevo libro, Renacimiento: El arte que conquistó el mundo, donde examina las obras de figuras inmortales como Leonardo da Vinci, Miguel Ángel o Botticelli, y desentraña los juegos de poder, las transformaciones sociales y las aspiraciones de grandeza que dieron origen a una auténtica revolución cultural. Tras la presentación Alberto Garín firmará ejemplares de la obra, que se podrán adquirir in situ. Alberto Garín es licenciado en Historia del Arte y Arqueología y doctor en Arquitectura. Desde 1998 es profesor de la Universidad Francisco Marroquín de Guatemala, una labor que compagina con su interés por la divulgación histórica, sobre todo a través de su canal de YouTube. Es autor de varios libros, entre los que destacan Historia irreverente del arte (2023),  Lutero, Calvino y Trento. La reforma que no fue (2022) y Contra la revolución francesa (2024), ambos escritos con Fernando Díaz Villanueva y publicados con gran éxito por HarperCollins.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to James Payne (@GreatArtExplained) James Payne is a writer, curator and YouTuber, known for demystifying art via his popular YouTube channel Great Art Explained. His newly released book, Great Art Explained: The Stories Behind the World's Greatest Masterpieces, brings that same clarity to the printed page. It explores 30 iconic works — from Botticelli's Birth of Venus to Monet's Water Lilies and Georgia O'Keeffe's Jimson Weed — unpacking not only their visual features but also the artists' lives and social context. Payne's style is refreshingly jargon-free: he explains what makes each piece “great” through clear storytelling and insight. Stephen Fry has called the book “an instant classic.” For more information on the Great Art Explained: The Stories Behind the World's Greatest Masterpieces go towww.welbooks.co.uk/shop/p/great-art-explained-the-stories-behind-the-worlds-greatest-masterpieces-by-james-payne-signed To Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofarts For full line up of confirmed artists go to www.ministryofarts.co.ukEmail: ministryofartsorg@gmail.comSocial Media: @ministryofartsorg Hosted on Acast.

Venice is a museum without walls — but behind her doors, each palace tells a different story.In this episode, Monica takes you through the city's most fascinating museums — places where beauty, history, and imagination still breathe.In this episode:

La Renaissance, ce renouveau artistique, intellectuel et scientifique qui transforma l'Europe à partir du XVe siècle, ne naquit pas par hasard à Florence. Cette cité toscane réunissait alors des conditions politiques, économiques et culturelles uniques qui en firent le berceau d'un mouvement sans équivalent dans l'histoire occidentale.D'abord, Florence était une république riche et indépendante. Sa prospérité reposait sur le commerce et surtout sur la banque. La puissante famille Médicis, à la tête d'un empire financier, finançait non seulement les États d'Europe, mais aussi les artistes, les architectes et les penseurs. Cosme de Médicis puis Laurent le Magnifique comprirent que la gloire artistique pouvait servir la gloire politique. En soutenant des figures comme Botticelli, Léonard de Vinci ou Michel-Ange, ils firent de Florence une vitrine éclatante de leur influence et un centre culturel de premier plan.La structure politique de la cité joua aussi un rôle majeur. Florence n'était pas une monarchie mais une république oligarchique, où la liberté de pensée et le débat intellectuel avaient plus de place qu'ailleurs. Les humanistes florentins, inspirés par la redécouverte des textes grecs et latins, replacèrent l'homme au centre de la réflexion — une rupture avec la vision médiévale dominée par la religion. Des penseurs comme Marsile Ficin ou Pic de la Mirandole défendirent l'idée d'un être humain libre, doué de raison et capable de s'élever par le savoir.Florence bénéficiait aussi d'un héritage artistique exceptionnel. La proximité avec les ruines romaines, la maîtrise artisanale des ateliers et la tradition gothique italienne fournirent une base solide à l'innovation. Les artistes florentins expérimentèrent de nouvelles techniques : la perspective, la peinture à l'huile, l'étude du corps humain. Brunelleschi révolutionna l'architecture avec la coupole de Santa Maria del Fiore, symbole éclatant du génie florentin.Enfin, la concurrence entre les cités italiennes – Venise, Milan, Rome – stimula l'émulation. Chaque ville voulait attirer les meilleurs artistes pour affirmer sa puissance. Mais Florence garda une avance intellectuelle : elle ne se contenta pas de produire des œuvres, elle inventa une nouvelle manière de penser l'art et le savoir.Ainsi, la Renaissance florentine fut bien plus qu'une explosion de beauté : elle fut le fruit d'une société ouverte, prospère et avide de connaissance, où l'art devint le miroir d'une nouvelle idée de l'homme et du monde.

more:fluentfiction.com/it/episode/2025-10-25-22-34-02-it Story Transcript:It: In un elegante museo d'arte a Firenze, l'atmosfera era elettrica.En: In an elegant art museum in Firenze, the atmosphere

After three (very full!) weeks of Shakespeare, we reluctantly leave England for Italy—and step into the vivid world of Renaissance art. Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities List serves up a refreshing change of scene with Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists and Benvenuto Cellini's Autobiography.Both were brand-new to me, and both were a delight. Vasari, himself an accomplished painter and architect, profiles the greats—Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo—not as remote geniuses but as human beings: witty, flawed, brilliant, and endlessly ambitious. His writing reminded me of Suetonius' Lives of the Caesars—a chronicle of greatness, but with warmth instead of gossip. Vasari captures not just the artists but the culture that shaped them: a world where beauty was power, art was currency, and patrons competed to prove their taste and influence.Each artist glows in Vasari's telling. Giotto, kind and devoted to the Church; Botticelli, charming and hopeless with money; Leonardo, the restless perfectionist who could give a lizard wings; Raphael, the graceful imitator who died too young; Michelangelo, the divine genius who could never quite trust the world that adored him. Reading Lives left me wondering how Florence could possibly have produced so many masters at once—and wishing we could live, just for a moment, in a world that valued art that deeply.Then came Benvenuto Cellini, the goldsmith, sculptor, and self-styled rogue whose Autobiography reads like an adventure novel. He's talented, impulsive, funny, and so honest that you can't help but like him. Cellini's stories—his fiery temper, his father's musical ambitions, his devotion to Michelangelo—make the Renaissance feel wonderfully alive.This week's title, “True Colors,” fits perfectly. Vasari and Cellini reveal the true colors of art and ambition—divine inspiration, human pride, and all the messy brilliance in between.This is a year-long challenge!

While most people visit the Accademia Gallery in Florence, Italy, to see Michelangelo's great statue of “David,” there is much more to this museum. The Accademia is also home to masterpieces by Botticelli, Lippi, Giambologna, Perugino, Andrea del Sarto and Pontormo, as well as Michelangelo's unfinished “Slaves."

What if we had only decades left before the final harvest capable of feeding the world? Accustomed to Earth's abundance year after year, can we imagine an end to something so eternal? In thirty short passages, from pruning dandelions with her four-year-old to grappling with the mathematical theory of infinity, art historian and writer Annabel Howard moves through a mind-warping process of fathoming a world where the cycles that have sustained us since the beginning of time cease. Following her fascination with the apocalyptic imagery in Botticelli's Mystical Nativity, she contemplates how imagining the end of the infinite is not radical for our time, but rather an enduring way of giving shape to inconceivable realities. Like all of us, she reaches for certitude amid the fear of a world aflame, only to glimpse the paradox of apocalypse: that in ending there lies beginning.  Read the essay.

In this feed swap episode with ArtMuse, host Grace Anna dives into the life of Simonetta Vespucci: the Genoese noblewoman often credited as the muse for Botticelli's The Birth of Venus and Primavera. Hailed as the most beautiful woman in Florence, Simonetta captivated the city's most powerful leaders, artists, and intellectuals. But her story has long been shrouded in romantic legend. Who was the woman behind the myth? And what does it mean to reclaim her narrative today? You may remember Simonetta from our past discussion of Primavera, but here, ArtMuse peels back the layers of fantasy to reveal the real woman. She's far more complex, and far more human, than history has allowed her to be. Hosted by art historian Grace Anna, ArtMuse is a show dedicated to restoring the identities of women too often reduced to muses or decorative subjects.

Well folks, put on those shoulder length gloves that Laura Dern wears in Jurassic Park, cause it's Probin' Time! This one here, is the deepest… the darkest… the craziest amount of research I have done for any episode yet. The lengths, depths, and girths that I went to to find out what the hell Ecco the Dolphin is really about… Holy mackerel.If you never played the 1992 smash hit game exclusively for the Sega systems, you missed out. And if you did play the game, you probably remember it's immensely difficult and confusing puzzles. But if you happened to be one of the few that beat the game?!

Episode OverviewThis week, I consider the Stoic philosophy of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations and Epictetus' Enchiridion, part of Ted Gioia's Humanities List (link below!). Moving from Greek dramas to 2nd-century Roman Stoics, we first talk about the move from Greek lit to Roman, how the mindset and history will impact what we read. I cover Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus in depth, mention Admiral Stockdale (a modern Stoic) and end the episode with Rudyard Kipling's poem "If." Marcus Aurelius' MeditationsMeditations, the private journal of a Roman emperor, emphasizes self-focus, humility, and inner peace. Key takeaways include: Focus on your own mind and skills, not others' actions or opinions. Embrace nature to cultivate curiosity and appreciation for the world. Accept life's brevity and smallness, acting virtuously without expecting rewards. Find peace within, not in external escapes like vacation homes. Hold pleasures loosely to achieve contentment in the present moment.I note the surprising modernity of Aurelius' advice but question its contradictions, like the futility of life versus the call to virtue.Epictetus' EnchiridionEpictetus, a former slave turned philosopher, offers a direct, practical guide in The Enchiridion. I prefer Epictetus' straightforward style, finding it more relatable than Aurelius' introspections. Highlights include: Distinguish what harms the body from what affects the will—Epictetus' own lameness adds poignancy to this teaching. Know your limits and operate fully within them, committing wholeheartedly to your purpose. Avoid excess in speech, laughter, or indulgence, embracing simplicity.Consider the parallels to Biblical teachings like Colossians 3:17.Reflections and ChallengesI don't love Stoicism, as I think it sacrifices deep love and beauty. But there's no doubt that its ideals have a place in society--Stockdale and Kipling both reflect that. Translation struggles (George Long's arcane 1877 version versus Gregory Hays' readable Meditations) and time management issues due to travel delayed this week's reading. Classical music (Haydn's Symphonies 45, 94, and 104) enriched the experience, though I skipped the art.What's NextNext week, I explore Suetonius' Twelve Caesars with Mozart's symphonies and Italian art by Botticelli and Caravaggio.

Send us a textThe Court of Lorenzo de' Medici Part 3: Large-Scale Mythological Painting The 1480's in Florence was an age of relative prosperity under Lorenzo the Magnificent. During this period, the visual arts began to take a new shape. Influenced by both classical and contemporary literature and poetry, Lorenzo's court saw the introduction to large-scale mythological painting, ushered in by the famed Sandro Botticelli. This episode looks closely at the formation of Botticelli's Birth of Venus, as well as the subsequent Court of Pan by Luca Signorelli in 1490. We discuss the cultural and political circumstances around the development of this new genre of painting, as well as a host of patrons, including the Vespucci family and Lorenzo il Popolano de' Medici. A close look at these works alongside scholarly research reveals a tension between representation and actual cultural attitudes, especially around differentiating between philosophical representation and lived, sensual realities. Works Discussed: Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus, ca. 1485 https://www.uffizi.it/en/artworks/birth-of-venusSandro Botticelli, Venus and Mars, ca. 1485 https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/sandro-botticelli-venus-and-marsLuca Signorelli, The Court of Pan, ca. 1490 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Education_of_PanFollow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastYoutube Videos mentioned for extra information: Piero di Cosimo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R99_lpzeLzQ&list=PLUejELZ-zvuCN0XSgU-4JoV4ezeU6MBLb&index=4Luca Signorelli: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE3MC80SvHU&list=PLUejELZ-zvuCN0XSgU-4JoV4ezeU6MBLbGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show
