This episode explores the role of the Pallaiuolo brothers in the development of Florentine Renaissance art, specifically through the works they completed for the Medici Palace: The Labors of Hercules. Later reappropriated, this episode also dives into how Hercules is used as a Florentine political symbol and is adaptable as both a pro-Medici and an anti-Medici symbol, similar to function of the biblical heroes David and Judith. Works DiscussedAntonio Pallaiuolo, Hercules and the Hydra, ca. 1475 https://www.uffizi.it/opere/pollaiolo-ercole-idraAntonio Pallaiuolo, Hercules and Antaeus, ca. 1475 https://www.uffizi.it/opere/pollaiolo-ercole-anteoAntonio Pallaiuolo, Hercules and Antaeus, ca. 1475, bronze Antonio https://www.wga.hu/html_m/p/pollaiol/antonio/sculptur/hercul2.htmlSupport/Watch/Follow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

No quadragésimo nono episódio do Estudos Medievais, recebemos Maria Izabel Escano Duarte de Souza, doutora do Programa de Pós Graduação em História Social da USP, para discutirmos os Livros de Horas. Produzidos entre os séculos XIII e XVI, os livros de horas foram o tipo de livro mais popular durante a Baixa Idade Média, com sua produção chegando a ultrapassar a de Bíblias nesse período. Esses livros voltados para a leitura e devoção individual foram também os manuscritos medievais que chegaram em maior número até os dias de hoje, inclusive com alguns deles em bibliotecas brasileiras. Neste episódio, a convidada aborda as origens dos Livros de Horas, suas funções, seu processo de produção, suas múltiplas camadas de texto e imagem, sua circulação e a sua presença em acervos brasileiros.ParticipantesCecília Souza SilvaMaria Izabel Escano Duarte de SouzaMembros da equipeCecília Silva (edição e ilustração)Diego Pereira (roteiro)⁠⁠Eric Cyon (edição)⁠Gabriel Cordeiro (roteiro)⁠⁠Isabela Silva (roteiro)⁠⁠José Fonseca (roteiro)⁠Marina Sanchez (roteiro)Rafael Bosch (roteiro)⁠⁠Sara Oderdenge (roteiro)Sugestões bibliográficasBERGE, Damião.

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

Peter Weller is a renowned theater and Hollywood actor. His performances in films such as RoboCop and Naked Lunch garnered him much critical and commercial success over the years. His television acting and directing credits include Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, and 24. Unbeknownst to most, Weller has spent decades honing his appreciation for the visual and musical arts through his studies of the Renaissance era. Earning a Master's in Roman architecture from Syracuse University before moving on to a PhD in Renaissance Art from UCLA. Dr. Weller has just written a book, Leon Battista Alberti in Exile: Tracing the Path to the First Modern Book on Painting.“Art transcends time and culture—the beauty of it. People worry about the world now. I remind them to go live in 1968, a time of preparing to go to the moon while people died for their beliefs. This is a difficult time in a republic that's supposed to be free, but music was leading the way. It's actually harmonious, transcending culture and time. That might be the greatest gift of our transcendence.”Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

Send us a textIn this monumental 50th episode, join me in discussing a likewise monumental artist of the early Renaissance: Donatello. This episode examines the landmark works of the Florentine sculptor, taking a close look at his early life, mature works, and cultural impact. Donatello skillfully navigated the practical world of civic sculpture, then became a sought-after court artist in the elite world of early modern Italy. Looking closely at three sculptures in three mediums, this discussion details Donatello's vast innovations towards embedding life and sensation in his figures, an effect that would pulse through the veins of future Renaissance sculpture thanks to his departures from convention. Works Discussed:David, marble, ca. 1408.Saint George, marble, 1415-17.Penitent Magdalene, wood, ca. 1430-50.Equestrian Monument of Gattamelata, 1453.David, bronze, 1440-60.Get additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Send us a Text Message.Undoubtedly one of the most important painters of the Florentine Renaissance, Masaccio broke the barriers of convention, producing the first monumental works in the Renaissance style. This episode discusses Masaccio's life and works, focusing on the famous Brancacci Chapel and his Holy Trinity in Santa Maria Novella. A close look at these works illuminates the effects of heightened naturalism and linear perspective as artists looked away from the conventions of Gothic painting, particularly in the Holy Trinity, which demonstrated a new mastery over perspectival techniques, paving the way for future Renaissance artists to expand upon Masaccio's genius. Instagram: italian_renaissance_podcast Works Discussed: Masaccio, Expulsion from Paradise, Brancacci Chapel, 1425-27Masolino, Temptation in the Garden, Brancacci Chapel, 1425-27Masaccio, Tribute Money, Brancacci Chapel, 1425-27Masaccio, Holy Trinity, Santa Maria Novella, ca. 1427Get additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the Show.

Send us a Text Message.The early 1400's in Italy saw the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance style in painting. In major areas of patronage, be it for churches or wealthy patrons, a new style flourished that was representative of the interconnectivity between European cultures and the wider Mediterranean, one that bridges the Gothic and Renaissance styles - the International Gothic. Looking at two masterworks, one from Lorenzo Monaco and one from Gentile da Fabriano, this episode examines the historical moment and the stylistic factors that unify and separate the Gothic and International Gothic in Italy. Further, through Giorgio Vasari, we can look at how historical shifts in artistic style were perceived by later Renaissance writers, who looked to organize the trajectory of Italian art as a series of quantifiable improvements. These two artists help us bridge the end of the medieval period with the developments that will become Renaissance art. Works discussed:  Lorenzo Monaco, Coronation of the Virgin - https://www.uffizi.it/en/artworks/coronation-of-the-virginGentile da Fabriano, Adoration of the Magi - https://www.uffizi.it/en/artworks/adoration-of-the-magiInstagram: italian_renaissance_podcast Get additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the Show.

It is time to open the next chapter of our dive into Renaissance history, dialing back to look at the early Renaissance and the Proto-Renaissance. The terminology of periodization is loose and malleable, and brings to light of other renaissances that occurred throughout the Middle Ages. What is the difference between the way classical revival was exercised from the 8th and 12th centuries, and the world of Renaissance Italy? This episode provides the fundaments of the earliest years of the Renaissance in Florence. The discussion links the literary developments of Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio to the art developments of Cimabue and Giotto. Did the Black Death, that devastating plague that swept through Italy in 1348, have an impact on intellectual development? What did the early phases of Humanism look like, before the late 15th century?  Images uploaded to Instagram @italian_renaissance_podcast Get additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the Show.

When Piri Reis sailed around the Mediterranean, mapping every inch of coastline, it was the height of the Renaissance. The Renaissance, literally meaning “rebirth,” was a period of revival of classical thoughts in economics, politics, and art, which will be the center of attention for this episode. From vivid depictions of the Piazza San Marco to the fountains of lions, Piri reflects a surprising Ottoman fascination with Italian Renaissance art.

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

It is with great pleasure that I welcome Frank Nero to the podcast. Nero is an art historian, award-winning educator, and former director of Florida State University Florence. He specializes in on-site lectures, having taught and inspired thousands of students during his career, myself included. The first part of this interview departs from our typical mode of discussion, and looks at the living legacy of Renaissance art from the perspective of someone who teaches it outside of the classroom. Not only does Nero provide inside information on the structure of international education through the American university system, the good and the bad (also the ugly), but also tells hilarious stories and experiences that come with hauling students through crowded historical sites across Italy. ***Nero calls by my familiar name, Reed instead of Lawrence... or Reedy, because he's a funny guy. Instagram: italian_renaissance_podcast Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ItalianRenShopGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Join me in the continuation of my conversation with ecocritical art historian and climate activist Esme Garlake. In the second part of our interview, we discuss the works of Raphael's pupil, Giovanni da Udine. Giovanni not only had an intense fascination with accurately depicting the natural world, which we discuss via his drawings, but had a substantial role in decorating Agostino Chigi's Villa Farnesina in Rome alongside Raphael and Giulio Romano.Beyond the Renaissance, Esme provides valuable perspective on climate activism in museum spaces, and the role of art in how we envision the sustainability of our planet. For more of Esme's work: Blog: https://medium.com/@esme.garlakeArticle: https://envhistnow.com/2023/05/04/towards-an-ecocritical-art-history/Research Profile: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/art-history/esme-garlake Linktree: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcast     Podcast Instagram: @italian_renaissance_podcast Get additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Join me in conversation in two parts with Esme Garlake, an ecocritical art historian and climate activist who centers her research on the interaction between the artist and the natural world. We are talking about two artists who were trained under Raphael, Giulio Romano and Giovanni da Udine.  How do animals manifest in their works, and what does it tell us about the social history of sixteenth century Italy? Part one focuses on establishing how an ecocritical approach is used to analyze Renaissance art via Raphael before turning to the Palazzo Te in Mantua, and Giulio Romano's Sala dei Cavalli and the Banquet of Cupid and Psyche.

Leonardo da Vinci arrived in Milan around the year 1482. Under the patronage of Duke Ludovico Gonzaga, Leonardo painted his famous Last Supper on the wall of the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Still, his technical application of paint was a failure, causing almost immediate damage to the famous work. Between his inadequate innovation, the wars with Napoleon, and WWII, the Last Supper fresco has absorbed an excessive amount of damage. This discussion looks at the history of Last Supper depictions leading up to Leonardo, from the Early Christian catacombs to Byzantine mosaic.  It explores how his innovative approach to art elaborated a traditional theme, making it more in line with the ideals of Renaissance Humanism. Although the application was a grave error, the technical design of the work and rich symbolism position this work as among the most important paintings of the Renaissance. Support the show!

In 1494 upon the expulsion of the Medici from Florence, Michelangelo Buonarotti left his native city for the Republic of Venice. His stay there was brief and mostly undocumented. Yet, close comparison of source material and stylistic analysis reveals that perhaps Michelangelo was more influenced by his time in Venice than previously considered. The master all'antica marble sculptor Tullio Lombardo had likely completed his masterpiece Adam the year before Michelangelo's arrival. Was the divine Michelangelo inspired by a Venetian Renaissance master before creating his own large-scale Bacchus, a marble nude figure modelled on antiquity? In this episode, we unpack the layers of influence that appear to manifest in Michelangelo's work as a potential result of Venetian influence. Instagram/Facebook: italian_renaissance_podcast Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ItalianRenShopGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Known as the greatest master of the Venetian Renaissance, Titian's painting career spanned most of the sixteenth century. This episode aims to give an overview of his life and works, focusing on three paintings from three different genres: an altarpiece, a portrait, and a  mythological scene. Just as they represent different genres, the paintings discussed serve as timestamps in his career, marking his earliest masterpiece, the height of his career, and one of his last works. By doing this, Titian's variety of skill and talent is put on full display, sorting through the variances in his style, and how he positions himself as the forerunner of conventional change in European painting. Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ItalianRenShopInstagram: italian_renaissance_podcastGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

The Florida teacher who got fired for showing her class a picture of Michelangelo's David was the first sign of a revival in 'fig leaves'. Not since the Victorian era has the demand for fig leaves - actual and virtual - been so strong, and one South Mimms entrepreneur is cashing in on the big cover up. And there's one twist which will leave Mr. DeSantis wishing he'd never started his campaign of militant prudery.The only university that makes you chuckle AND learn at the same time.

In the eyes of certain purveyors of religious righteousness, Michelangelo was a pornographer. In today's short essay we learn about a Tallahassee school that fired its principal because three parents complained about that nude sculpture of David by Michelangelo had been included in the curriculum. They called the world's most celebrated sculpture porn, and the principal was gone. Tolerance, or even a semblance of knowledge about the classics was no where to be found. I hope you'll listen.

It's not too long ago that the Sun and Universe revolved around the Earth. That was the thinking until science and the arts began to see that the data just didn't line up. Valerie reveals to us how knowledge gained in astronomy and cosmology influenced art and architecture. WATCH this episode, if you can. Having studied at the Universities of Bristol, Manchester and the Witwatersrand (South Africa), Dr Valerie Shrimplin has lectured extensively on Byzantine, Medieval and Renaissance Art and Architecture – and on sixteenth-century history as well. In particular, she has published quite widely on the influence of astronomy and cosmology on art (including her PhD on the influence of Copernican heliocentricity on Michelangelo's Sistine Last Judgment).

Undoubtedly one of the most well-known Renaissance figures, Leonardo da Vinci has ascended beyond the realm of artist, appearing more as mythic or legendary. This episode explores not only how that came to be, but also why it is important that we look at his life with a touch of scrutiny in order to better understand Leonardo as he was, rather than how he was mythologized. This episode likewise covers some essential information on Leonardo's life, his training, and his intent focus of reproducing Nature, and what he called the science of painting. Instacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hour.

We are very pleased to welcome our first guest for this episode, Gee Cooper. Gee works for the National Trust, specializing in the history and conservation of English country houses, primarily Claydon House and Uppark. With a thorough grasp on all of the major architectural intricacies of these houses, Gee and I discuss the lasting impact of the Renaissance architectural style of Andrea Palladio, and how the 18th century English country house proliferated a Palladian revival in relation to contemporary Neoclassic trends. Andrea Palladio served the Venetian Republic as one of its most important architects from 1508 to 1580. His most famous works still stand today in Venice, Vicenza, and other parts of northern Italy. For Palladio, the primary inspiration for architectural design was Vitruvius, who wrote his architectural treatise in the first century B.C.E. This book was a major influence during the Renaissance, coming to print in 1486. As we will discuss, the impact of Vitruvius extends beyond Palladio, to the great English architects of the 1700's. *We are still working out audio issues through Zoom recording.

Renaissance art is an art movement that started in the 1300s and ended in the 1400s. It happened when Europe became more wealthy and powerful, and people had more money to spend on art. The renaissance art movement involved artists departing from medieval traditions and creating their unique paintings, sculptures, and architecture.About renaissance artRenaissance art was a cultural movement that changed the way people thought about and created artwork during its time. It is one of the most critical movements in defining Western civilization. During renaissance art, Michelangelo and Raphael painted religious paintings and sculptures, whereas Leonardo da Vinci developed new techniques for using oils to paint on canvas. They also developed new styles of architecture, such as Brunelleschi's "Duomo di Firenze" (Florence Cathedral) and Palladian Villas (Villa Rotunda). The renaissance art movement is said to have ended with the death of El Greco. Get full access to Art Legends in History at www.artlegends.org/subscribe

The Sword Guy Podcast, episode 76 Dr Tobias Capwell has a lifelong love of arms and armour, since being taken to the Met Museum in New York as a small child. He has made this passion into a career and is now the curator of Arms and Armour at the Wallace Collection in London. We talk about how he got the job as a museum curator, including offering his services to the Met Museum at the tender age of twelve. If you are in the vicinity of London and are interested in seeing the wonderful Wallace Collection, or if you are far away but want to check out the online content, have a look on their website. And here is a video by Toby from The Wallace Collection, Armour as Renaissance Art. In our conversation Toby tells us how he came to be one of two mounted knights in armour escorting the procession at the recent re-burial of Richard III, whose remains were found buried under a car park in Leicester, in the East Midlands of England. Click on the link for a YouTube video covering the event. We talk about Toby's ground breaking research into English stone funerary effigies that depict armour in exquisite detail, including showing repairs and bits which don't match the rest of the armour. This research formed his Ph.D. and then became his trilogy of books, Armour of the English Knight. His eagerly awaited second book, Armour of the English Knight 1450-1500 is out now. His first book is sold out so get your hands on this one quick!

The renaissance was a golden period of new art techniques and ideas. It created famous artists like Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo. Let's take a tour of how the renaissance period evolved throughout history.

This is not the catchiest title but the subject itself is extremely interesting and is an excellent example of how visual culture can shine a light on the way women were perceived in society. Profile portraits were a common genre in the mid 15th century to 16th century and were commissioned by wealthy merchant families. The sitters today are largely anonymous but were likely young brides from high status families, who posed dressed in luxurious clothing and jewellery, serving as visual symbols of feminine purity and nobility. Image in Florentine culture was very important and the representation of a wife was a matter of family honour. In this episode we will analyse some examples of these portraits and will also discuss their popularity among art collectors in the 1800s and what this can tell us about the romanticisation of  history.Sources Virtue and Beauty: Leonardo's Ginevra de' Benci and Renaissance Portraits of Women exhibition catalgouehttps://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/essay/a-profile-portrait-of-a-renaissance-woman-in-the-national-gallery-of-victoria/ 

Neville and Avery talk about the weird Renaissance tendency to depict babies as small men; how stereotypes about cuckolded husbands influenced artists' depictions of Joseph; why the Church was so scandalized by Caravaggio's sex worker Madonnas AND the presence of dirty feet on Saints and pilgrims; and more.

Adjunct Professor of Art History at The American University of Rome, Dr Jason Cardone, joins the show to discuss art during the Italian Renaissance. 

In our second Hansplaining episode, Hannah answers a question she's routinely asked by her friends, colleagues, and students: why do babies in medieval and renaissance era look less like babies and more like little men who are about to flee the country for tax evasion? Hannah gives 3-ish reasons why those babies look like that, and along the way Suzanne gives her very spontaneous, very uninformed reactions to some very odd looking little babies.   On a scale from 1 to 10, this episode rates a 6.5 on the "might be sacreligious" scale.   To check out the images referenced in the episode, visit the pod on twitter, instagram, or the Well, Here We Are website.   Over These Walls by Hope and Social is licensed under a Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.

In this new episode of the Museum of Femininity we will explore the life of another female art collector, who was also an eminent political leader in Renaissance Italy.Isabella d'Este (1474-1539) was the Marchioness of Mantua, who collected a variety of Ancient sculptures, medals and artefacts which she displayed in her Studiolo. Along with collecting classical works of art she also commissioned various paintings by the most notable Old Masters of the age including Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, Mantegna and Titian. She was a forceful character who kept meticulous records and sent hundreds of letters with detailed instructions about how her studio was to be constructed, displaying a firmness but also the ability to persuade with flattery and charm.As well as her formidable connoisseurship she showed immense political prowess and often stepped into the role of leader during times of war.Sources https://isabelladeste.web.unc.edu/profile-of-isabella-deste/http://www.italianrenaissanceresources.com/units/unit-8/essays/isabella-deste-collects/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdkbLv8vgYQ

South Africa’s former President, Jacob Zuma failed to appear at a corruption inquiry this week - an inquiry he himself set up when he was in power. But now he has been called to testify, he has accused the judge of carrying out a personal vendetta against him. The case has split the country’s ruling party, the African National Congress. In the eyes of many the former President will always be seen as the legendary liberation hero. Andrew Harding looks at why it’s proving so difficult to hold certain politicians to account in South Africa. We visit Wuhan in China, where, just over a year ago, a whistleblower - Li Wenliang - first drew the world's attention to the severity of the Coronavirus outbreak. A team of international scientists from the World Health Organisation have just returned from their month long visit to the city to try to identify the origins of the virus. China correspondent, Stephen McDonnell followed the motorcade of scientists on their tour and found information about what they learned was hard to come by. Tokyo's Olympics has faced a number of hurdles: last year the Games were postponed for the first time in their 124-year history due to the pandemic; Japan's Olympic chief was recently forced to stand down for making sexist comments and now there is local resistance to pressing ahead with the Games this Summer due to concerns about continued outbreaks finds Rupert Wingfield-Hayes. We visit the Uffizi gallery in Florence for an almost private view of some of the great works of Renaissance Art. Between lockdowns and restrictions, the museum re-opened briefly in January and Julia Buckley managed to steal a visit, without the tourists. Presenter: Kate Adie Producer: Serena Tarling

Chardonneigh Copyright and Trademark Law Terry: Gordon, let's start with one that I hear regularly. Someone will see a decorator printing Disney, or DC Comics, or Harley Davidson and say, “You know, that's copyrighted artwork.” Could you explain to our listeners the difference between copyright and trademark? Listener questions:Aaron: If people see copyright violations and wish to report it, is there a central location or do they need to find the licensee info? Terry: We see this with equipment sales too. A company either has end-of-life with a product or stops selling a product, and says there's no more support. Aaron: "How does everyone find if an image used is copyrighted or not? For example, Renaissance Art or famous old masterpieces, are they somehow copyrighted?" Terry:  If you buy artwork from someone who claims to have the rights to it do you automatically get the rights because of purchasing the art? Similarly a listener asked, what if I buy a trademarked image, as sublimation transfers for instance, and the seller infers they are licensed, could I be liable for trademark infringement for selling the image on products? Aaron: What action can we actually take in the event someone steals our design...? How do we protect our design? How much will it all cost? Often the thieves rely on the fact people will not take action because of cost so… What's the best way to protect our own original artwork? Terry: My question. Why do all the local schools get by with using NFL logos for their school logo? I was told by a coach that they have permission to use the Atlanta Falcons bird. I still refuse to do it for them but they just have it done by someone else. What about school logos in general (especially high school)...can we print apparel, etc. using their logos, whether they are using an NFL logo or one of their own design without permission? If we need permission, do we get it from the school? How do high schools get away with using college football team logos? Are there repercussions for a decorator using said logo to make apparel for the high school?

This is a solo episode about the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, the most beautiful book in Venice. This mysterious volume was printed in Venice in 1499 by Aldus Manutius, with a typeface created by master punchcutter Francesco Griffo. Illustrated with 172 amazing woodcuts, it was written in a strange combination of Latin, Greek, and Italian. The illustrations also contain Hebrew, Arabic, and invented hieroglyphs. Nobody knows who the illustrator was, nor who wrote the book, but most scholars agree that it was Venetian Franciscian monk and priest Francesco Colonna. In this episode, I discuss the history of events leading up to the book, the nature of the book itself, and also possible influences the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili may have had on later European art, literature, and occult currents. Some of the topics I touch on are the 17th century Rosicrucian movement, the Renaissance Art of Memory, and 18th century Freemasonry. My research in this episode relies heavily on the previous work of two people. First, Joscelyn Godwin, musicologist, author, historian, and translator. He translated the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili into English for the first time in 1999, and was the translator and commentator of The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, which I reference in the show. Second is Efthymia Priki, Ph.D. in Byzantine Studies from University of Cyprus, who did extensive work researching the influences of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili on works that came after it.

This time, Force Fed Sci-Fi welcomes its first guest, Brian McLeod, to take a look at Robocop! During our review, we discuss how the character of Robocop himself actually accomplishes little to no police work, could technology offer a solution to areas infested with crime, and is Robocop worthy to get a statue in Detroit? Let's dig in….. Robocop (Original) Cast Directed by Paul Verhoeven: Born in the Netherlands, Verhoeven had a solid reputation as a filmmaker prior to taking on Robocop. His early collaborations with Rutger Hauer earned him worldwide fame and even earned an Academy Award nomination for Foreign Language Film in 1974. Robocop was Verhoeven's first major Hollywood film and was able to blend many complex themes together to create an entertaining and memorable story. Starring Peter Weller as Alex Murphy/Robocop: Prior to his casting, Weller was relatively unknown, but starred in the cult hit The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension in 1984. He was not the first choice for Murphy as Rutger Hauer and Michael Ironside were considered, but their large frames would not fit into the Robocop costume. Weller has since gone to have a respectable career appearing in films and television and has earned his Master's Degree in Roman and Renaissance Art as well as a PhD in Italian Renaissance Art History. Nancy Allen as Anne Lewis: While she does not have a ton of memorable credits to her name, she remained a consistent presence in the Robocop films and would go on to appear in this film's sequel as well as the third film even after Peter Weller left the franchise. It's unclear exactly of her feelings towards Murphy whether it's professional or romantic, but she offers a unique morality to the film as no one comes out smelling like roses at the end. Kurtwood Smith as Clarence Boddicker: Before he was known as Red Forman on That 70's Show, Smith turned in a rather convincing performance as this drug kingpin. Boddicker clearly has a bevy of mental issues including narcissism and megalomania and has a near total disregard for human life. Everyone around him is either a means to an end or they're just a target. The filmmakers have commented that making Boddicker an intellectual was intentional even down to the rimless glasses he wore as it made Smith look like infamous Nazi officer Heinrich Himmler Is Robocop a Good Cop? Any police officer will tell you that most of what is seen on television and film is dramatized. Most of the job is filling out paperwork as every stop and movement must be documented and cataloged. Robocop seems to not be familiar with these procedures. First, he just leaves his precinct without informing the Desk Sergeant where he's going or what area he plans to patrol. Second, he engages in both breaking up a convenience store lobby and an attempted sexual assault without returning to the precinct to fill out any sort of paperwork or arrest log. In addition, we don't even see him arrest anybody! One of our show's hosts, Chris, is pretty sure that the convenience store robber was also just left dead in the freezer as Robocop drops a cool one-liner and exits the store. Finally, Robocop has a clear disregard for due process. After he interrogates one of Boddicker's henchman, he breaks into a warehouse without obtaining a warrant and begins shooting up the joint. Not only would any normal cop be removed from patrol duty after a shooting, they would be assigned to attend some type of counseling to gauge how they feel after potentially taking a life. However, since Robocop isn't technically human, he has no need for this type of post shooting procedure. Behind the Scenes You might be surprised to learn that the original Robocop script was actually written with the violence in mind as the producers went through several choices for the director's chair before choosing Verhoeven. Several prospective choices wanted to tone down the violence and even Verhoeven was reluctant to t...

Episode 6: The Renaissance Nude at The Royal Academy discussed by Caz Murray, Vikki Kosmalska & Laura Lennard.Sending Nudes is all the rage these days, why not check out the Royal Academy's show for some Renaissance style inspo for your next shoot? Rumour has it a classical contrapposto stance can be very lengthening...Jokes aside, this riotous exhibition showcases 85 glorious Renaissance nudes and uses them as a lens through which to explore key themes of the period: from religious art to classical mythology; from patronage to advancements in artistic skill. So much of this exhibition surprised us: we discuss what Northern European artists such as Durer brought to the Renaissance; we explore whether deeply religious art can also be erotic, and we launch an impassioned appeal to bring back the cult of the male nude in art!The Renaissance greats are all there (Leonardo, Michelangelo, Titian, Raphael, Donatello...) but there is so much more beyond.This is the final episode of Series 2, but stay tuned to our feed for news of our summer specials.Thank you so much for listening, and please remember to 'Ask the Artcast' any art related questions you might have for us. You can email them to helloartcast@gmail.com and we will do our best to feature your question in an upcoming episode!@theartcast on Instagram 

Episode 2: Bill Viola / Michelangelo: Life, Death, Rebirth at the Royal Academy. Discussed by Laura Lennard, Caz Murray & Vikki KosmalskaThe RA's incredibly immersive exhibition brings together works by the iconic Renaissance Man, Michelangelo, and the Modern video artist, Bill Viola. In an extraordinary mash up of mediums, we see incredibly worked, personal, 15th century draughtsmanship on the one hand, and highly staged, epic, contemporary videography on the other. Does this juxtaposition open up an interesting dialogue? Or are the artists doomed to partake in a predetermined, and largely limiting contest of skill? Both artists undoubtedly grapple with weighty concerns: human mortality, the inevitability of death, rebirth. We explore our own personal reactions to these universal themes and assess what has been gained or lost from this artistic pairing. In lighter news, we play dead artist blind date, and as always loot our favourite works from the exhibition for our imaginary collections. Thank you to the incredible Nat Witts for our jingle, and to the brilliant Jonny Lennard for our editing.

Episode Notes Changes in Art during the Renaissance

Christi Schimpke is a jewelry artist who founded Crash where she uses the cast off sheet metal of crashed exotic cars to form her beautiful jewelry. She has a master’s degree in Renaissance Art and worked for years at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. A metalsmithing class set her on a course to start her own jewelry business that she called Minabea, named after her grandmother. Christi’s husband Dan owns the Beverly Coachcraft collision repair shop where they repair new cars with an emphasis on high-end luxury marques. Seeing the damaged parts of Porsche’s, Maserati’s, Bentley’s and others Christi got an idea and Crash was born from the mangled parts of once beautifully crafted parts in to pieces of jewelry that is reimagined and made new again.

On this episode, we invite on amateur Mycologist Cody Noconi to discuss the history of entheogen use in the human race. Much of the information has been well substantiated by multiple historians and Cody has merely compiled it and brought it to the listening audience. We cover human history from the Fertile Crescent all the way to the enlightenment period, maybe we’ve been stoners for longer than historians think. Once we get into Hermeticism and Alchemy, the connections to entheogen use starts to become very powerful, to the point we can’t ignore its influence. Please take this as a jumping off point to engage in researching this topic for yourself.   Cody’s Sources: Pictures on NMPC website http://nakedmormonismpodcast.com/episodes.html Joseph Smith and Kabbalah: The Occult Connection by Lance S.

Taking a tour of some recent blockbuster art exhibitions, Sarah Dunant reflects on the importance of context for us to properly appreciate art. She argues that increasingly we're sold art as a list of superstars. "To grab the headlines, put big numbers through the turnstiles, means focusing on the stars" she writes. But understanding the great Renaissance masterpieces demands an understanding of the intellectual climate that produced them. A scantily clad Ursula Andress emerging from the sea holding a conch will not really help us understand Botticelli's Birth of Venus. Producer: Adele Armstrong.
