Wykład Barbary Tichy, VII Festiwal Sądziedzki „Wespół w Zespół dla Solca”, 25 czerwca 2020 [0h58min]Więcej: https://wszechnica.org.pl/wyklad/o-pejzazu-romantycznym/Barbara Tichy w nagraniu wykładu opowiada o malarstwie krajobrazowym w XIX wieku. Popularny wówczas pejzaż romantyczny sprawił, że stulecie to uchodzi za „złoty wiek” tego gatunku malarskiego. Historyczka sztuki opisuje cechy wyróżniające romantyczne malarstwo krajobrazowe oraz komentuje prace jego polskich reprezentantów, które znajdują się w zbiorach Muzeum Narodowego w Warszawie. Prelekcja odbyła się w ramach VII Festiwalu Sąsiedzkiego „Wespół w Zespół dla Solca”.Zainteresowanie artystów naturą można zaobserwować już w sztuce starożytnej. Pejzaż był jednak początkowo swego rodzaju dodatkiem, tłem dla głównego tematu dzieła. Jako osobny gatunek malarski zaczął się kształtować dopiero w XV w. Renesansowy humanista Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472) w traktacie o malarstwie De Pittura napisał, że obraz powinien być oknem na świat.– Praktycznie to okno się otwiera. Stojąc przed obrazem, nasz wzrok ma podróżować w głąb, odkrywać dalekie przestrzenie – mówi Barbara Tichy.Pierwszym „złotym wiekiem” malarstwa krajobrazowego było XVII stulecie, przede wszystkim za sprawą artystów holenderskich. Swój drugi okres rozkwitu ten gatunek malarski miał w XIX wieku, kiedy popularny stał się pejzaż romantyczny.Czym wyróżniał się pejzaż romantyczny na tle poprzednich epok?Historyczka sztuki wskazuje, że nowością w stosunku do poprzednich epok było przywiązywanie przez artystów dużej wagi do studiów plenerowych. Wcześniej malarze również wykonywali szkice z natury, jednak same obrazy powstawały w pracowniach.– Dlatego wcześniej pejzaże są wytworem wyobraźni artysty, a nie naśladowaniem konkretnego miejsca. To pojawia się w XIX wieku – podkreśla prelegentka.Tichy wskazuje, że pejzaż romantyczny oscyluje między dwiema sprzecznościami. Pomiędzy tym, co widzimy na płótnie, czyli pięknem natury, a tym co niewidoczne – emocją, przeżyciem i duchowością.W nagraniu wykładu prelegentka komentuje szerzej dzieła polskich reprezentantów pejzażu romantycznego, których prace znajdują się w zbiorach Muzeum Narodowego w Warszawie. Należą do nich Wincenty Kasprzycki (1802-1849), Chrystian Breslauer (1802-1882), Wojciech Gerson (1831-1901), Józef Szermentowski (1833-1876), Aleksander Kotsis (1836-1877), Józef Marszewski (1827-1883). Kontekst dla ich twórczości stanowią wybrane dzieła europejskiego malarstwa krajobrazowego znajdujące się w kolekcji MNW.Barbara Tichy – jest historykiem sztuki, pracuje w Muzeum Narodowym w WarszawieStrony współorganizatorów VII Festiwalu Sąsiedzkiego Wespół w Zespół dla Solca:http://www.mdk.waw.pl/index.php/festiwal-sasiedzkihttp://www.koncert-anioly.cba.pl/Znajdź nas: https://www.youtube.com/c/WszechnicaFWW/https://www.facebook.com/WszechnicaFWW1/https://anchor.fm/wszechnicaorgpl---historiahttps://anchor.fm/wszechnica-fww-naukahttps://wszechnica.org.pl/#sztuka #kultura #romantyzm #muzeum #muzeumnarodowe #malarstwo #obrazy #pejzaż #pejzaże

In the 15th Century, Leon Battista Alberti said "A man can do all things if he will". And thus the idea of The Renaissance Man (or Universal Man, or polymath) was born. But how to be a good one? And is it still possible to be one today?

In this episode, I was joined by Nicholas Scott Baker to discuss his book, In Fortune's Theater: Financial Risk and the Future in Renaissance Italy (Cambridge University Press, 2021). Professor Baker is an Associate Professor of history at Macquarie University in Sydney Australia interested in the political and economic cultures of early modern Europe and the Mediterranean, with a particular focus on Renaissance Italy. In this fascinating new book, Professor Baker reveals how Renaissance Italians developed a new concept of the future as unknown time-yet-to-come. As In Fortune's Theater makes clear, nearly everyone in Renaissance Italy seemingly had the future on their minds. Authorities in important commercial hubs such as Genoa, Venice, Rome, and Florence legislated against overzealous betting on the future. Merchants filled their commercial correspondence with a lexicon of futurity. Famed painters such as Caravaggio, Giorgio Vasari, and Paolo Veronese manipulated the existing iconography of the figure of Fortuna into a moral allegory about unseized opportunity. And seemingly every important Renaissance Italian intellectual including Petrarch, Dante, Christine de Pizan, Poggio Bracciolini, Leon Battista Alberti, Laura Cereta, Giovanni Pontano, Niccolò Machiavelli, Francesco Guicciardini, and Baldassare Castiglione cared deeply about time-yet-to-come. Baker's book is a rich, multilayered examination of the problems of risk, fortune, and the future in the Renaissance, and it should have broad appeal to anyone interested in the economic and political culture of early modern Europeans. Michael Paul Martoccio is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison specializing in the economic and military historian of the early modern Mediterranean. I am especially interested in how early modern economic practices – consumerism, market culture, and the commercialization of war – shaped notions of sovereignty, territoriality, and political geography.

In this fascinating new book, Professor Baker reveals how Renaissance Italians developed a new concept of the future as unknown time-yet-to-come. As In Fortune's Theater makes clear, nearly everyone in Renaissance Italy seemingly had the future on their minds. Authorities in important commercial hubs such as Genoa, Venice, Rome, and Florence legislated against overzealous betting on the future. Merchants filled their commercial correspondence with a lexicon of futurity. Famed painters such as Caravaggio, Giorgio Vasari, and Paolo Veronese manipulated the existing iconography of the figure of Fortuna into a moral allegory about unseized opportunity. And seemingly every important Renaissance Italian intellectual including Petrarch, Dante, Christine de Pizan, Poggio Bracciolini, Leon Battista Alberti, Laura Cereta, Giovanni Pontano, Niccolò Machiavelli, Francesco Guicciardini, and Baldassare Castiglione cared deeply about time-yet-to-come.

 Yann Kerlau "Leon Battista Alberti; le magicien de la Renaissance"  (Albin Michel) S'il est impossible d'évoquer l'humanisme, les splendeurs et les révolutions du Quattrocento sans aussitôt penser à Pétrarque, à Dante et à Boccace, il est un autre homme dont le nom, moins souvent évoqué, mérite pourtant lui aussi de figurer parmi ces illustres acteurs de la Renaissance italienne. Cet homme, c'est Leon Battista Alberti. Qui était-il ? Un architecte ? Un homme de lettres ? Un philosophe ? Un mathématicien ? Un artiste ? Véritable magicien capable d'exercer tous les métiers et de montrer tous les visages, Alberti échappe aux tentatives de définition. De cet homme universel on ignore tout, ou presque.

Episode 79: As things moved on in the early renaissance art - painting and sculpture - led the way and theatre soon followed.  Artists tried to inject more realism into their work, showing their subjects as they really were, or as close as they could get.  The colours of clothes, skin tones, fruit, countryside scenery and, well, whatever the artist's subject was, became more subtle and realistic as artists looked at the different impacts of viewpoint, light and light sources in paintings and strived to show the world as it really was.  The discovery of an understanding of one thing in particular made those working in the theatre sit up and take note – perspective in art had arrived. Brunelleschi and the discovery of perspective painting. 1414 and the rediscovery of Vitruvius and ‘De Architectura'. Leon Battista Alberti and the beginnings of theatrical perspective design . Pellegrino de San Daniele and his perspective scenery at Ferrara. Architect Sebastiano Serlio, his perspective designs and use of the raked stage and painted flats. The development of wing space as an integral part of theatre design. The problems with perspective scenery. Aristotle de San Gallo and his reintroduction of the ‘periaktoi'. The importance of the introduction of flats throughout theatres. Lighting methods in Italian renaissance theatre. The Teatro Olympico in Vicenza, designed by Andrea Palladio and completed by Vincenzo Scamozzi.  This theatre was the panicle of perspective theatre design with seven arches at the back of the stage using perspective effect but had a short life. Advances in stage machinery by Nicola Sabbatini, known for his flying effects and his fondness for the ‘periaktoi'.  To improve this feature he designed mechanical ways of rotating the periaktoi.  Sabbatini's wave form effect. Giacomo Torelli and his mechanical decice for moving flats on and off stage, the ‘chariot pole system'.

In this episode, we are in conversation with the architect, writer, and Professor of Architecture at Yale, Keller Easterling. Her books include Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space (Verso, 2014); Enduring Innocence: Global Architecture and its Political Masquerades (MIT, 2005); and her latest Medium Design: Knowing How to Work on the World, to which we dedicate special attention to in this episode.I think Easterling's project boils down to how architecture and design can actually intervene and/or contribute to the cultural change around social justice and ecological crises; through thinking about, and ‘knowing-how' to work the systems at play. So designing within interplay; rather than the total compliance and submission on behalf of the architectural profession is what she seeks. She redirects our attention to the spatial dimension of how things are arranged, be it politically, financially, or socially. Episode Notes & Linkshttp://kellereasterling.com/ In Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space, Keller Easterling reveals the nexus of emerging governmental and corporate forces buried within the concrete and fiber-optics of our modern habitat. https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/enduring-innocence http://kellereasterling.com/books/extrastatecraft-the-power-of-infrastructure-spaceIn Enduring Innocence, Keller Easterling tells the stories of outlaw "spatial products"—resorts, information technology campuses, retail chains, golf courses, ports, and other hybrid spaces that exist outside normal constituencies and jurisdictions—in difficult political situations around the world. https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/enduring-innocenceMedium Design by Keller Easterling looks not to new technologies for innovation but rather to sophisticated relationships between emergent and incumbent technologies.

Good morning, beautiful, Our theme this week is movement. Leon Battista Alberti said, the movements of the body reveal the movements of the soul. Our bodies and souls are deeply connected, and through movement, we can call forth that which may be hidden or undiscovered within our souls. So this morning is a bit of a “freestyle” movement meditation. I'll get you started with a bit of guidance, and as the music continues to play, you are invited to move your body anyway it feels called to move. I encourage you to find a private space where you can move freely, without the perceived judgements of others. And I also encourage you to breathe out any judgements that may also come up within yourself.

Ispirato dalla ricchezza delle Vite vasariane, ma al tempo stesso affascinato da tutto ciò che esse tacciono, dalle lacune, dalle zone d'ombra, Enzo Fileno Carabba coglie in ciascuna l'occasione da cui far germogliare episodi fantastici eppure plausibili, che rivelano lo spirito profondo dei grandi artisti rinascimentali, le più imprevedibili, umane e sorprendenti ragioni che li hanno mossi. Ogni racconto indaga così uno stato d'animo o uno stato di grazia, che Carabba riporta alla luce con la dedizione di un “archeologo narrativo”.Come colori che riemergono vivi sotto la patina del tempo, ciascuno dei personaggi si rivela a noi per aver provato un sentimento nel quale possiamo riconoscerci, un'inquietudine o un desiderio che percepiamo altrettanto urgenti, quasi che i singoli esseri umani fossero solo portatori che permettono ai sentimenti di vivere e riprodursi. Filippo Lippi e la capacità di farsi perdonare. Andrea del Castagno e il rancore. Leon Battista Alberti e la nostalgia... grazie a una scrittura lievissima, capace di sognare, i grandi del passato diventano, come diceva Pontiggia, “contemporanei del futuro”.Enzo Fileno Carabba ha scritto romanzi pubblicati in Italia e all'estero, racconti, sceneggiature radiofoniche, libri per bambini, libretti d'opera. Nel 1990 ha vinto il Premio Calvino col romanzo Jakob Pesciolini (Einaudi 1992), primo volume di una ideale trilogia fantastica che comprende: La regola del silenzio (Einaudi 1994) e La Foresta finale (Einaudi 1997). Sono seguiti, tra gli altri, Pessimi Segnali (Gallimard 2003, Marsilio 2004), Attila (Laterza 2000, Feltrinelli 2012), Con un poco di zucchero (Mondadori 2011) e La zia subacquea e altri abissi famigliari (Mondadori 2015), oltre alla saga fantastica per ragazzi Fuga da Magopoli e Battaglia a Magopoli (Marcos y Marcos 2017).

Sandro Lombardi"La passione" Mario Luzihttps://museomarinomarini.it/Segui l'evento sul canale Facebook del Museo: https://www.facebook.com/museomarinomariniIn occasione del Venerdì Santo il Museo Marino Marini presenta in diretta Facebook “La Passione” di Mario Luzi nell'interpretazione di Sandro Lombardi Oggi 2 aprile 2021, alle ore 20.15 in diretta sul proprio canale Facebook, il Museo Marino Marini di Firenze presenta “La Passione” di Mario Luzi: una toccante interpretazione dell'attore Sandro Lombardi che, nella suggestiva cornice della Cappella Rucellai, legge la Via Crucis alla sola luce delle 30 candele straordinariamente accese intorno alla merlatura gigliata in occasione del Venerdì Santo.L'opera è stata scritta da Mario Luzi per la Pasqua 1999 e fu letta dallo stesso Sandro Lombardi, fondatore della Compagnia Lombardi-Tiezzi e cinque volte Premio Ubu come migliore attore, durante la liturgia pasquale celebrata da Giovanni Paolo II al Colosseo il Venerdì Santo del 2 aprile 1999. Oggi come allora i versi del grande poeta, rivolti sia ai laici che ai credenti, uniti alla sacralità del luogo, segneranno un momento di forte intensità emotiva.“Sandro Lombardi ci regala una magistrale interpretazione dei versi di uno dei più grandi poeti del Novecento - dichiara Patrizia Asproni, Presidente del Museo Marino Marini - e lo fa in occasione del Venerdì Santo all'interno della Cappella Rucellai: una delle meraviglie del Rinascimento fiorentino, capolavoro assoluto dell'architetto Leon Battista Alberti, con il Tempietto del Santo Sepolcro. Un luogo ancora consacrato - prosegue Asproni - che concorre a determinare il fascino e l'esclusività del Museo Marini, unico museo d'arte contemporanea della città, non solo custode della collezione del grande scultore Marino Marini ma anche espressione straordinaria della storia dell'architettura italiana”.“È una gioia - afferma Sandro Lombardi - poter riportare alla vita un testo, quello di Luzi sulla Via Crucis, che nel 1999 il poeta mi chiese di interpretare al Colosseo, durante la celebrazione del Venerdì Santo officiata da Giovanni Paolo II.È grazie a Patrizia Asproni e al Museo Marino Marini che questo può accadere, in un luogo infinitamente piccolo rispetto al Colosseo ma, di certo, non meno suggestivo e potente, quale la Cappella Rucellai di Leon Battista Alberti”.Il Museo Marino MariniIl Museo Marino Marini è nato dalla volontà di Marino e Marina Marini che, alla fine degli anni Settanta del Novecento, individuarono l'ex chiesa di San Pancrazio di Firenze come luogo ideale al quale legare la donazione di opere che l'artista, poco prima di morire, aveva fatto alla città. La ristrutturazione della chiesa, recuperata dopo secoli e ridestinata a una funzione pubblica, è stata realizzata dagli architetti Lorenzo Papi e Bruno Sacchi che hanno saputo creare un allestimento a immagine e somiglianza di quel mondo così affascinante di Marino Marini, uno dei personaggi più significativi della cultura figurativa del Novecento. Il museo ospita 183 opere di Marino Marini: disegni, litografie, dipinti, sculture, tutte esposte al pubblico sui quattro livelli del museo. Parte integrante del museo, recuperata alla visita del pubblico dopo un lungo restauro, è una delle meraviglie del Rinascimento fiorentino: la Cappella Rucellai, capolavoro assoluto dell'architetto Leon Battista Alberti, con il Tempietto del Santo Sepolcro.
