I denne episoden snakker vi om Ghirlandaios vakre bilde av en liten gutt og hans bestefar. Bestefaren har en nesesykdom, men det er slett ikke det viktige her. Bildet er malt rundt 1490 og befinner seg på Louvre.   Her kan du lese mer om mine nettkurs: https://www.kristinetghardeberg.no/no/kurs-i-kunsthistorie/   Har du noe du ønsker jeg snakker om i podcasten?

Join me in conversation with Frank Nero, who takes us on a journey to a hidden gem in Florence, San Martino del Vescovo. This oratory serves as a fascinating case study of the intersections between Medici power and art patronage, as well as offering a glimpse into the everyday of Florentine life in the Quattrocento. The oratory frescoes depict scenes of the deeds of the buonuomini, painted by Domenico Ghirlandaio and his workshop. Nero gives us a detailed history of the foundation and function of the space, as well as a captivating explanation of the fresco cycle found within. Instagram: italian_renaissance_podcast Get additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Påskehelgen har inspirert tallrike kunstnere gjennom tidene. Vi ser på to bilder som illustrerer skjærtorsdag, det ene malt av Ghirlandaio på slutten 1400-tallet og det andre av Tintoretto på slutten av 1500-tallet. Det ene renessanse, det andre barokk. Det ene i Firenze, det andre i Venezia. Så forteller jeg om Tizians bilde av "Den gode røveren" på korset, han som ba om å få bli med Jesus... Bildet er i Bologna, Italia. Malt på 1500-tallet. Så, til slutt, snakker vi om Fra Angelicos vakre bilde av Maria Magdalenea i hagen på påskemorgen, et 1400-tallsbilde i San Marco-klosteret i Firenze.   Her kan du lese mer om mine nettkurs: https://www.kristinetghardeberg.no/no/kurs-i-kunsthistorie/   Har du noe du ønsker jeg snakker om i podcasten?

I denne episoden reiser vi til Firenze, til kirken Santa Trinita, hvor vi ser altertavlen "Hyrdenes tilbedelse av barnet", malt av Ghirlandaio i 1485. Vi snakker om hvorfor stallen ser ut som en romersk ruin, om hvorfor krybben er tom, og at maleren har laget en selfie midt i bildet. Og så tar vi for oss mye forskjellig symbolikk.    Her kan du lese mer om mine nettkurs: https://www.kristinetghardeberg.no/no/kurs-i-kunsthistorie/   Har du noe du ønsker jeg snakker om i podcasten?

In questo episodio di Finalmente letteratura! Bruno Ferraro e Matteo Telara tracciano un quadro ricco di dettagli storici, intrighi politici, amicizie tra poeti, artisti e filosofi ambientato nella Firenze di fine quattrocento. La figura centrale è Lorenzo Medici, detto il Magnifico, un uomo di stato molto potente, un mecenate, patrono delle arti, scrittore e poeta. Durante la sua vita a Firenze c'erano figure artistiche massime quali Michelangelo, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio. L'Italia dell'epoca era divisa in città stato, governate da famiglie molto potenti incluso lo Stato Pontificio. I Medici erano una dinastia ricca e molto influente nel panorama politico europeo, e prima di diventare i signori di Firenze erano stati facoltosi banchieri. Lorenzo scrisse poesia, sonetti, ballate, canti carnevaleschi…allegri, gioiosi ma anche con un sostrato di malinconia. L'ambiente letterario che si era creato alla sua corte rappresentava una nuova sintesi umanistica sui valori della vita, sull'amore e sulla bellezza che si allontanavano sempre più dalla religiosità del medioevo. Matteo conclude leggendo il noto ritornello della canzone “Trionfo di Bacco e Arianna, scritta da Lorenzo in occasione del carnevale del 1490: “Quant'e bella giovinezza, che si fugge tuttavia! chi vuol esser lieto sia: di doman non c'e certezza…” Ringraziamo gli sponsor di questo episodio: l'Ambasciata d'Italia a Wellington www.ambwellington.esteri.it e il Ministry for Ethnic Communities www.ethniccommunities.govt.nz Ondazzurra è in diretta ogni domenica alle 11.20 su 104.6 FM

This episode details the basics of the Italian Renaissance painting, covering medium and contracts, color and composition, and the culture and structure around them. Using Renaissance rock stars like Leonardo da Vinci, Ghirlandaio, and Raffaele, this talk demonstrates the complex structures around the development and changes of the general Renaissance painting in the 14/1500's.  

WYŚWIETL OBRAZ TUTAJ (zjedź na dół ekranu) >>> http://bajkologia.pl/audiobajka-jablonka/Relacja dziadków z wnukami nie jest częstym tematem w malarstwie, ale renesansowy obraz florenckiego mistrza Domenica Ghirlandaia wyłamuje się tej zasadzie. Bo raczej nie ma wątpliwości, że obydwu bohaterów tego podwójnego portretu łączy zażyła więź.Wyraz twarzy staruszka z obrazu jest mi doskonale znany. Tak samo patrzył na mnie mój dziadek. To mieszanina czułości, radości i zadziwienia tym, co wymyśla właśnie ten mikry człowiek wspinający się na kolana. To pełnia akceptacji, nawet jeśli nie wiąże się ona ze zrozumieniem. To świadomość, że nie zostało wcale tak dużo czasu i każdą sekundę warto wycisnąć do ostatniej kropelki.W audiobajce mały chłopiec mierzy się z chorobą dziadka. Po raz pierwszy staje oko w oko z przemijaniem. Z tym, że nie wszystko idzie po naszej myśli i nic nie da się z tym fantem zrobić. Równocześnie ma szczęście, bo otaczają go czuli dorośli. Uczucia widoczne w spojrzeniu staruszka rozciągnęłam także na jego postawę wobec wnuka. „Może i sytuacja jest trudna, ale jakoś sobie poradzimy, prawda, mały smyku?” Babcia, bohaterka drugoplanowa bajki, też ma swoje pomysły, ale nie boi się zmienić zdania, gdy zachodzi taka potrzeba.Warto jeszcze wspomnieć o tym, co wyróżnia ten obraz spośród innych współczesnych mu arcydzieł. Otóż zwykle renesansowi twórcy utożsamiali dobro z pięknem, a zło z brzydotą. Ghirlandaio nie boi się przedstawić staruszka takim, jaki był: ze zmarszczkami, siwizną i zmienionym chorobą nosem. Prawda o jego wnętrzu i tak do nas dociera.W jaki sposób udało się spełnić marzenie Francesca? Posłuchajcie!Pytania, które możesz zadać dziecku bo wysłuchaniu audiobajki:Czego bardzo pragnął Francesco? Dlaczego to nie mogło dojść do skutku?Jakie rozwiązanie wymyśliła babcia, a jakie – dziadek?Czy kiedykolwiek bardzo chciałeś/aś zobaczyć się z dziadkami, ale było to niemożliwe?Co robisz, gdy bardzo zatęsknisz za dziadkiem lub babcią, a oni są daleko?Które z Twoich sposobów na kontakt z babcią i dziadkiem byłoby możliwe w czasach Francesca, a które – nie?INSTAGRAM BAJKOLOGII http://instagram.com/bajkologia_pl/BAJKA-USYPIANKA do ściągnięcia (mp3+tekst w pdf) http://bajkologia.pl/do-pobrania

From contemporary theories about Brunelleschi's dome, to Ghirlandaio's frescoes in Santa Trinita, to the abandoned design of semi-circular chapels on the outside of Santo Spirito, to Bernini's extraordinary early sculpture of Aeneas, this episode answers the very questions that you ask me about the great art, artists and history of the Italian Renaissance.

This episode examines the extraordinary early Renaissance fresco cycle in the family chapel of Giovanni Tornabuoni, who was the uncle of Lorenzo the Magnificent de' Medici. It was while Ghirlandaio was working on these frescoes in Santa Maria Novella in the 1480s that a 13-year-old apprentice named Michelangelo Buonarroti entered his workshop, who may have left his mark in the paintings.  

Preparate la valigia: vi portiamo in viaggio con noi! Abbiamo deciso di esplorare San Gimignano in Toscana, la città famosa per le torri, ma non solo! Infatti, a San Gimignano si trova anche la Gelateria Dondoli, il cui gelato ha ricevuto svariati premi tra cui quello di Campione del Mondo!    San Gimignano in Toscana Avete mai preso un treno in Italia? Quello in cui abbiamo viaggiato è chiamato “treno regionale”. I treni regionali sono quei treni che collegano le varie città all'interno di ogni regione italiana. Invece, i treni che collegano città che si trovano in regioni diverse sono chiamati Intercity o Frecce, che sono più veloci e hanno sempre un posto assegnato. Attenzione! Se decideste di usare un autobus italiano, non dimenticate di OBLITERARE il vostro biglietto, cioè di inserirlo nelle apposite macchine, che lo timbrano con la data e l'ora per indicare che è stato utilizzato.   Caratteristiche di San Gimignano San Gimignano sorge su una collina a un'altezza di circa 324 metri. Si tratta di un bellissimo borgo medievale con delle mura di cinta. Ma che cos'è un borgo? In italiano, un piccolo centro abitato si chiama “paese”. I “borghi”, invece, pur essendo dei piccoli centri abitati, si distinguono dai paesi perché hanno delle caratteristiche piuttosto specifiche: devono essere antichi con l'architettura originale dell'epoca e ben riconoscibile, devono curare il decoro del centro urbano, offrire luoghi di interesse turistico o eventi di interesse culturale, avere prodotti Doc, Dop, Docg o Igp e disporre di strutture di alloggio e di ristorazione aperte tutto l'anno. San Gimignano rispetta praticamente tutte queste caratteristiche. Infatti, risale al Medioevo e l'architettura dell'epoca è rimasta praticamente intatta, dalle mura ai palazzi alle torri.   Cosa vedere a San Gimignano Le Torri Le torri sono forse la cosa più famosa di San Gimignano! In origine, ce n'erano 72, una per ogni famiglia ricca della zona. Oggi ne sono rimaste solo 13 e sono considerate il simbolo dell'architettura medievale toscana. Inoltre, dal 1990 sono anche Patrimonio dell'umanità UNESCO. Insomma, per visitare San Gimignano non si devono avere problemi o dolori al collo, perché è d'obbligo essere sempre con la testa in su ad ammirare queste bellissime torri. Ognuna di loro è bella e particolare, ma tra le più famose c'è quella che si trova nei pressi di Piazza della Cisterna, vicino alla chiesa. Si chiama Torre del Diavolo perché, secondo la leggenda, quando il proprietario tornò da un lungo viaggio, trovò la torre più alta di quando era partito. Da qui la torre è stata vista come opera del Diavolo, da cui prende il nome.   Piazza della Cisterna Fu costruita per volontà del Podestà Guccio dei Malavolti, il cui stemma rappresenta una scala. Il nome della piazza deriva dal pozzo ottagonale che si trova al centro e che presenta proprio lo stemma del Podestà. La piazza è simbolo della vita commerciale perché ospitava botteghe, il mercato e le giostre. Da qui si possono ammirare numerosi palazzi come il Palazzo Pellari e le torri, tra le quali la Torre del Diavolo! Una particolarità di questa piazza è il fatto che si trova sul punto più alto su cui è costruito il borgo, perciò è un punto perfetto per riposarsi dopo le salite, rinfrescandosi con il gelato più buono del mondo della gelateria Dondoli.   Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta Questa chiesa è il duomo di San Gimignano e anche se all'esterno potrebbe sembrare anonima, all'interno racchiude piccoli tesori. Infatti, il duomo è completamente affrescato, i colori colpiscono la vista e non bisogna farsi sfuggire nessun angolo, perchè si possono trovare affreschi di Benozzo Gozzoli e Taddeo di Bartolo. Non finisce qui, il duomo contiene un crocifisso ligneo che risale al 1200 e una cappella affrescata dal Ghirlandaio, la Cappella di Santa Fina.   Chiesa di Sant' Agostino Di solito viene tralasciata,

Versione audio: Tra le più preziose e amabili scene di Natività tra quelle dipinte nel Rinascimento, spicca per eleganza l’Adorazione dei pastori di Domenico del Ghirlandaio (1449-1494), commissionata da Francesco Sassetti e datata 1485. L’opera si trova, ancora oggi, nella sua collocazione originaria, cioè sull’altare della Cappella Sassetti nella Chiesa di Santa Trinita a Firenze.

Parmi les questions suscitées par la mort de George Floyd, le 25 mai dernier, il y a celle de la place qui, dans la cité, doit désormais revenir aux héros d’autrefois. Et il est à remarquer que les places sont chères. Qui peut apparaître dans l’espace public, quel doit avoir été son passé ? Connaissait-il les lois qu’il a enfreintes ? L’histoire montre qu’en cette matière, les choses sont souvent plus complexes qu’on veut bien le croire. C’est cette actualité brûlante qui est passée, cette semaine, Au Crible de l’Histoire. Pour ce faire, je me suis appuyé sur un article d’Edith Thomas sur la Commune de Paris qui, bien qu’ancien, n’a pas vieilli ; sur des travaux de Jean-Clément Martin sur la Terreur et sur les mémoires d’Alexandre Dumas. Les extraits sonores sont tirés du téléfilm Monte-Cristo, réalisé par Josée Dayan, et du film La Révolution Française de Robert Enrico.

Versione audio: Nella Firenze di Lorenzo il Magnifico operò da protagonista il pittore Domenico Bigordi (1449-1494), detto il Ghirlandaio in quanto figlio di un orefice che cesellava ghirlande d’argento per le acconciature delle dame fiorentine. Dopo essersi formato prima presso l’orafo Bartolomeo di Stefano, poi con il pittore Alessio Baldovinetti e infine, forse, anche con […] L'articolo Il Ghirlandaio proviene da Arte Svelata.

In this episode we'll be briefly discussing some of the greatest artworks in Florence and the era of the Renaissance, especially with the Italian painter Domenico Ghirlandaio. https://www.italian-renaissance-art.com/Ghirlandaio.html This unique period in European history when the old wisdom and inspiration from the Ancient World was brought up and renewed, is still a bright and shining example of how history can pick up the deep treasures from the past, and make them new within their own current times. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In questo Episodio di Contaminazione Artistica vi racconto la Storia Incredibile del Grande Protagonista del rinascimento Italiano Michelangelo Buonarroti

DOMENICO GHIRLANDAIO | Adorazione dei Magi | Uffizi, Sala 25 | Lingua originale (Spagnolo) | La narrazione e la voce sono di Lina Callupe | Leggi la scheda completa dell'opera su uffizi.it Domenico Ghirlandaio | Adoration of the Magi | Room 25 I was born on my father’s land. An immense estate. One part was in the hills, the rest was green meadowland, where his cattle grazed. There were three small communities around my father’s land. Sometimes the people would go to him to ask for a piece of land to cultivate, and my father would offer it for free. He recognized this need for land; his own was large enough to give some away. Also in this painting, by Domenico Ghirlandaio, there is a meadow. It opens out behind the figure of Mary, almost an empty space to emphasize her presence. The three wise men have just placed their signs of wealth on the ground. The crowded procession accompanying them follows the round shape of the painting, highlighting the importance of Mary and the Child. In the background, a hut inside the ruins of a temple symbolizes the advent of the time of Grace overcoming the Old Testament. Just like a slender bud finding its way. Further away, a port. Sky, land, sea... a limitless space. In the 15th century, the episode described by St. Matthew became an occasion to celebrate the wealth of art patrons. Ghirlandaio probably executed this painting for the Tornabuoni family; its round shape was unsuitable for the altar of a church, and in fact it was made for the Tornabuoni to worship in their own home. Some are portrayed with great precision in the two men kneeling to the right, and perhaps even the Magus turned towards us. A family reunion. Then, there is Joseph, absorbed in a tender look directed towards Mary. A little apart from the others, his face resting on his hand, he contemplates his wife and child. The figure of Joseph reminds me of my father. He was always so protective. But he wasn’t able to defend me when I was assaulted as a young girl, nor to placate my fear of possible revenge when the trial ended in my favor. My father didn’t want me to go away, but I was sure I could no longer live in Peru. I’m the one who decided to change life. The day I left for Europe, my father watched me from a distance. He didn’t say goodbye; he didn’t want me to leave. In the painting there are a few objects in the foreground, placed on a stone: a case for glasses, a saddlebag, and a water flask, just the essentials for a journey. I pick them up and leave, without looking back. I was just 22 when I decided to face the challenges of a new world alone. I left a familiar, wealthy and safe place behind me, to find myself tossed around as an illegal immigrant. When I came to Florence, the turning point: I joined the support groups for new immigrants, became involved in local politics, began to take on new responsibilities. In this initiatory journey, I passed under the ruins of times past, and crossed through the door of Mercy. The Magi too, perhaps, passed that way on their return to the East. A few months ago, I went back to my father’s house in the country. A nephew of mine was getting married. I saw how the family had grown, the kids now adults, the children of children. There, once again on the large meadow around the house, we had become a great family. The Magus in the foreground turns towards us, as if surprised by the people who continue to arrive in an endless flow of generations.
