Kicking off this Interseason Trilogy, this episode discusses the early life of Filippo Brunelleschi, the early phases of the construction of the Duomo, and the famous competition against Lorenzo Ghiberti for the commission of the bronze doors of the Baptistry of Florence. All of this is meant as a prelude of how Brunelleschi came to be the architect who solved the mystery of how to construct the largest dome in the world. Support the show
✈️🤗Programa número 26 en el que después de bastante tiempo vuelve mi hija Candela para hablar conmigo y para contarnos muchas cosas sobre Florencia y lo que a ella le gustó. Hablaremos de Clet Abraham y su arte urbano, también del escultor Lorenzo Ghiberti y su Puerta del Paraíso. Pero además chalaremos como siempre de muchas cosas entre ellas mi Boda.

O pintor da luz Nas obras de Angélico (séc. XIV), a arte adquire sentidos que transcendem seu valor artístico e tem outras funções: não podem ser compreendidas em sua natureza de arte sem essa sua significação e funcionalidade não artísticas: torná-las objetos de arte, consideração puramente artística significa nem mesmo entendê-los como arte. Portanto, não indiferentes aos problemas de estética - e de crítica de arte, e de história da arte, - mas também problemas teológicos e litúrgicos: de fato, existe entre a iconografia das obras desse gênero e a iconologia que as fundou um círculo osmótico constituído pela cultura, que, neste caso, é globalmente cristã; como ensina São Tomás Angélico: «A beleza está essencialmente presente na contemplação, então da contemplação da Sabedoria se diz: tornei-me um amante de sua beleza» (S.Th. a. 2 ad 3) e acrescenta são Gregório Magno «a vida contemplativa, mais amável, é a doçura». A personalidade composta de Fra Angélico reside nesta sinergia, aliás, é o expoente máximo. Gótico, o último do gótico e o primeiro dos humanistas, artista independente e catequista de pregação, o primeiro a compartilhar um senso das alegrias naturais: como seus jardins realçam a frescura e a alegria primaveril nos afrescos da Anunciação e no Noli me tangere [Não me toques] em São Marcos. Se Beato Angélico agrega o encanto da grande beleza visual, o interesse de expressão, muito intenso, a atração da cor mais delicada, porém, suas cenas têm um valor tão tátil e ao mesmo tempo tão indefinível que mais não poderia ser dito. O ouro do fundo salta no ouro incrustado como uma renda de ourives das auréolas, das asas angelicais, nos raios riscados e ofuscantes do poder de Deus, nos cachos louro-mel dos anjos. Diz-se que ele não pegou um pincel antes de rezar. O fato de ser penetrado por Deus nas orações deu-lhe uma luz que deu substância à sua capacidade angelical de delinear o rosto da Virgem, dos santos e da Trindade. Talvez, para sentir a beleza de sua pintura, seja necessário compartilhar com ele aquela vida de fé que o moveu e o fez viver. Claro, Beato Angélico permanece na virada da Idade Média e do Humanismo, enquanto os historiadores da arte identificam suas conexões com Masaccio, Ghiberti, Filippo Lippi, Lorenzo Monaco, até mesmo os flamengos. Mas totalmente dele é a orquestração espacial clara, o fôlego expandido da paisagem, a gama cromática muito brilhante e dentro dela rica em gradações infinitas e delicadas. Alguém até falou de uma representação sagrada com eloquência e com razão. É ele quem, entre o realismo de Donatello e as teorias da historicidade de Alberti, criou o compromisso do naturalismo ao abrir caminho para uma arte que não é mais uma representação imóvel, mas, ao contrário, um discurso animado, uma conversa humana. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/locus-mariologicus/message
TWO is often cited as the loneliest number, but not in this crossword, which is teeming with them. The crossword was a little crunchier than normal, with you-should-have-paid-more-attention-in-school clues like 26A, ___________ Ghiberti, sculptor of Florence's Gates of Paradise, LORENZO, and 42A, Beowulf's first combatant, GRENDEL. A nice crossword overall, we give it a 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.In other news, Jean is in the hot seat for Triplet Tuesday, a good thing since the rest of Northeast Wisconsin is in a deep freeze!

In deze aflevering een verhaal over religieus vertrouwen. Of gaat het over religieus fanatisme? Abraham wordt gevraagd zijn zoon Isaak te offeren en hij is nog bereid het te doen ook. Gelukkig grijpt God in het verhaal in. Is Abraham een religieuze extremist of kunnen we wat van hem leren? Wat zijn wij bereid op te geven voor een hoger doel? Allard Amelink bespreekt het weer met het vaste panel van dit seizoen: Lieke Wijnia, conservator van het Museum Catharijneconvent in Utrecht; Ab Nieuwdorp, presentator van De Klassieken op NPO Radio 4; en theoloog en schrijver Alain Verheij. Ze bespreken onder meer kunstwerken van Caravaggio en Rembrandt; muziek van Benjamin Britten, Bob Dylan en Leonard Cohen; en werken van Søren Kierkegaard en Albert Camus. En ook Game of Thrones komt voorbij. Overzicht van de besproken kunstwerken: - Het offer van Isaak door Ghiberti en Brunelleschi (1401) - Highway 61 Revisited van Bob Dylan - ‘Le ciel par une épreuve tendre' uit Abraham Ou Le Sacrifice d'Isaac van Sébastien de Brossard - Het offer van Isaak door Caravaggio (1603) en Rembrandt (1636). - 'Et pergentes pariter' uit Sacrificium Abrahae van Marc-Antoine Charpentier - Vrees en Beven van Søren Kierkegaard - 'So Abram Rose' uit War Requiem van Benjamin Britten - Story of Isaac van Leonard Cohen - Break Down van Michael Landy - De rechtvaardigen van Albert Camus
talkPOPc participant Mark Friedman begins the conversation with Resident Philosopher Carolina Flores by talking about the Italian Renaissance, in particular the Ghiberti doors n Florence, which is where he spent his study-abroad year as a college student. Flores points out that when you see something in person and study it in person it is so different than seeing it also; noting that perhaps it's that one is paying attention to the thing in a different way, and thus understanding it better as you've also added in the cultural context. He then transition to Duchamp's "Urinal," and readymades, and states that sometimes you see art hanging on a museum wall and wonder "really, that??" intimating that you can be puzzled but then move beyond that. Flores sums up the conversation by addressing issues of attention/focus, and the process of learning about things, and asks Mark if art can really expand one's perspective. He responds that film can obviously do that, but music can do that, too. Flores discusses how music encompasses certain attitudes to the world, similarly to Duchamp's fuck-you gesture. Mark agrees and uses the example of punk, or that disco vibe of everything's-all-right. So, he asks, has a piece of music literally changed the way one thinks?Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/talkpopc)
Versione audio: «Ei ci fu donato dal cielo per dar nuova forma all’architettura»: è con queste parole che Vasari, nelle sue Vite, celebra Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446) come il primo architetto classicista dell’età moderna. Filippo, detto Pippo dai suoi contemporanei, era figlio di un notaio; crebbe dunque in una famiglia agiata e ricevette una buona istruzione, […] L'articolo Brunelleschi, Ghiberti e il Concorso del 1401 proviene da Arte Svelata.
Versione audio: Lo scultore rinascimentale Donatello (1386 ca.-1466), indiscusso protagonista della storia dell’arte quattrocentesca, ancor giovane, lasciata da poco la bottega di Ghiberti, ebbe l’occasione di entrare a far parte di un gruppo di scultori attivi nei più importanti cantieri di Firenze. Uno di questi era rappresentato dalla Chiesa di San Michele in Orto, detta […] L'articolo Il San Giorgio di Donatello proviene da Arte Svelata.
This episode is the second part of the two-part episode dedicated to Lorenzo Ghiberti's celebrated doors known as the "Gates of Paradise". In this second part, we look at each individual panel to examine its style, composition and iconography, where we discover Ghiberti was indeed a master visual storyteller.
Jacob Terneus, PhD student in ancient and medieval philosophy at Marquette University, talks with Patrick about his recent article in the Imaginative Conservative: Motion, Moments, & Sculptural Art: The Time and Imagination. He references to sculptural works in his essay and in our discussion: Bernini's Apollo and Daphne and Ghiberti's Baptistry Doors. I would also encourage everyone to go read his other recent publication, Speech & Knowledge in Plato's Major Hippias, over at the Voegelin View.
THE IMPORTANCE OF FLORENCE. Paola D’Agostino is Director of the Musei del Bargello, a new five museum group put together in Florence after the 2014 reforms.
This episode examines the "North Doors" of Florence Baptistry that were produced by Lorenzo Ghiberti between 1403-1423 as a result of the famous competition of 1401 won by the same artist. The same International Gothic Style attributes that characterize Ghiberti's earlier competition panel, and which were the very reason that he won the competition, are prevalent throughout the 28 panels that make up these North Doors as well.
In this intimate conversation, Mark invites us to feel what he felt singing the Torah and experience his grandmother’s living presence in a dream. He explains “indigenous perception” and invites us to hear the apple trees tell him he will survive cancer. Then, Mark welcomes Albert Schweitzer, Mechthild, Ghiberti, and Martin Buber into the room. He even gives us an unpublished poem on the truth about prayer. There is wonder in every moment of this sacred conversation. Join our community and get your free gift at janetconner.com/23.
This episode examines the extraordinary collection of statues on the outside of the church of Orsanmichele in Florence, Italy. Produced by some of the greatest artists of the Renaissance, such as Donatello, Ghiberti and Verrocchio, each statue reflects the changing artistic styles of the day as well as the socio–economic importance of their guild patrons.
Lorenzo Ghiberti was a famous early Renaissance artist, best known for his three dimensional bronzed reliefs on the doors of the Florentine Baptistry. By learning about his work, we get to learn about relief art and it's somewhat three-dimensional nature. We can also gain an understanding of the role of the church and religion in Renaissance art and culture and the role of architecture in art.

Anyway – governors of Florence may have had a more immediate reason for selecting this story. The climax of the story emphasizes divine intervention, and we must remember that the Florentines were facing a series of threats from outside forces – we'll discuss them in later episodes – and had just had another dose of […] The post #29 Ghiberti & The Doors II appeared first on The Renaissance Times.
If you've ever been to Florence, you've no doubt paid a visit to the Duomo, the Florence Cathedral, formally the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore. Known as the Duomo. Well we're NOT going to be talking about that today. Instead we're going to be talking about the building right next to it – the Baptistery of St […] The post #28 Ghiberti & The Doors I appeared first on The Renaissance Times.
Contests and competitions between artists have been around for as long as art has. But the most famous competition of all time was between sculptors - two giants of the early 15th Century - and heralded the start of the Florentine Reniassance. But who won? Ghiberti or Brunelleschi? Decide for yourself who is the better sculptor...

If you sculpt, you probably have a small library of how-to sculpture manuals. Sculptors writing about sculpture goes way back - but how far back? In this episode, Host Jason Arkles discusses the f sculpture manual that was written during the early renaissance by the original Renaissance Man, Leon Battista Alberti. A personal friend of Donatello, Brunelleschi, and Ghiberti, Alberti's treatise on the science and practice of sculpture during the early Renaissance show us just how much in common we have with the past masters- and how much we might be able to learn from them.
Florence's landmark Duomo (cathedral) is crowned by Brunelleschi's majestic dome — the first Renaissance dome and the model for many domes to follow (climb it for a glorious view). Nearby the Baptistery features Ghiberti's magnificent bronze doors, which Michelangelo called the "gates of paradise." These creations help define the Renaissance, when Florence blossomed and classical arts were reborn.
