Violet Moller has written a narrative history of the transmission of books from the ancient world to the modern. In The Map of Knowledge: A Thousand-Year History of How Classical Ideas Were Lost and Found (Doubleday, 2019), Moller traces the histories of migration of three ancient authors, Euclid, Ptolemy and Galen, from ancient Alexandria in 500 to Syria and Constantinople, to Baghdad in 800, and then to Renaissance Venice in the 15th century. Moller demonstrates how tenuous were the chances of such ancient works' survival, from the depredations of invading armies to the hazards of fire and flooding, to the problems of translation through multiple languages over the centuries. The migration of ancient texts from Greece to the Middle East and back to medieval Europe is a fascinating story of how knowledge was preserved when certain conditions were met, such as political stability, the willingness of itinerant scholarly “manuscript hunters” to risk life and limb to find obscure, ancient texts, and the openness to tolerate and embrace knowledge derived from other cultures and civilizations. Moller's book is the story of how the texts upon which the modern world was built were acquired through fortuitous accident and scholarly diligence. Ian J. Drake is an Associate Professor of Political Science and Law at Montclair State University. His scholarly interests include American legal and constitutional history and political theory.

Season 2 Finale! For the conclusion of this treatment of Renaissance Venice, we discuss Paolo Veronese and his famous painting that enraged the Holy Inquisition: The Supper in the House of Levi. Indeed, upon completion of this painting, the forces of the Counter-Reformation descended upon Veronese, bringing him under interrogation to explain what they deemed to be inappropriate in his art. This discussion details the painting itself along with the trial that condemned it within the greater context of the Protestant Reformation, the Counter-Reformation, and the Roman Inquisition as it manifested in Venice. All social links: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcast Get additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Gaspara Stampa is among the most important poets of the Renaissance. Living in Venice, she was a central figure in the music and literary scene thriving during the sixteenth century. Her Rime, published the year of her death, give us insight to the brilliant mind of an upper class socialite with a complicated love life, far flung from the rigid confines of what we might expect from a Renaissance woman in a male dominated world.Looking at her life and two sonnets, this discussion elaborates her role within the larger context of the Italian literary tradition, especially through Petrarch, and how these modes and tropes can be adapted and reworked through the culture of the Venetian Renaissance. Instagram/Facebook: italian_renaissance_podcastTiktok: @italianrenaissancepodEtsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ItalianRenShopGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Hello, listeners! I've got a special surprise for you this week. Instead of doing our typical Friday news cast, I'm sharing a recent discussion I had with author Damian Dibben about his latest novel, The Colour Storm. Set in the cutthroat art-world of Renaissance Venice, The Colour Storm is about the search for a new color. The daring young painter, Giorgione, is in the fight of his life to beat his rivals and find it first. It's a searing tale of creation, ambition, rivalry and passion at one of the most seismic turning points in history, and it's filled with characters both familiar and new, and is full of unexpected turns. It's an excellent read and one that art lovers are sure to enjoy.  Please SUBSCRIBE and REVIEW our show on Apple Podcasts and FOLLOW on Spotify Instagram / Facebook / YouTube Buy The Colour Storm here!

The foundational myths and stories of Venice revolve around the importance of Saint Mark the Evangelist and Venetian relations to Alexandria. In this discussion, we sort through the stories about the theft of his body, the construction of his basilica, and how this influences art and society in Renaissance Venice - namely in painting. Through Gentile and Giovanni Bellini, and Tintoretto, paintings of the legend of Saint Mark and the link to Alexandria gives us a means to read Venetian identity, which is thoroughly explored in this episode. Instagram: italian_renaissance_podcast Support the show! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=4HTBBJSUX4BQN&no_recurring=0¤cy_code=USD Support the show

Today we welcome international author Damian Dibben to the podcast. He joins Alice to discuss his book The Colour Storm; an artistic thriller, set in Renaissance Venice, but the conversation goes further than that. Yes, the book is a great read - bringing to life the artists of the era and a search for a stunning new pigment, so there is a lot about the power of colour itself... but we also talk about the patterns of a creative practice. What role does luck or choice have? Working across different creative platforms (Damian has been an actor, screenwriter and also still works with his hands creatively alongside the writing) and also touching on managing feedback and taking control of your own creative output. It's always great to get an insight into how different creatives work, and where inspirational ideas come from, so I hope this conversation leaves you intrigued to find out more.

Episode No. 584 features curators Gretchen Hirschauer and Aleesa Pitchamarn Alexander. The National Gallery of Art in Washington is presenting "Vittore Carpaccio: Master Storyteller of Renaissance Venice," through February 12. The exhibition was curated by Peter Humfrey in collaboration with Andrea Bellieni and Hirschauer. It presents Carpaccio, a Venetian master who worked in the period between Bellini and the rise of Tintoretto, as the producer of spectacular narrative pictures that brought storytelling more fully into the practice of Venetian painters. The exhibition includes 45 paintings and 30 drawings. The NGA and Yale University Press copublished an excellent catalogue. It is available from Indiebound and Amazon for $51-65. For Carpaccio's Scuola degli Albanesi 'Life of the Virgin' cycle, see here. Alexander discusses "East of the Pacific: Making Histories of Asian American Art" at Stanford University's Cantor Arts Center. The exhibition engages an American art history centered on transpacific migration and discourse rather than the traditional transatlantic address. It features roughly chronological sections that highlight key narratives in Asian American art between the late nineteenth and twenty-first centuries. "East of the Pacific" is one of the three inaugural Asian American Art Initiative exhibitions at the Cantor. It is on view through February 12. In addition to the images below, see the Cantor's collection site for Henry Sugimoto's linocuts, and Sarah Kim's Bernice Bing zine Bingo!.

Next up in our tour of Vittore Carpaccio is “Saint Augustine in His Study.” Carpaccio was a specialist in creating series of huge paintings designed to hang in sequence to tell the story of a saint or other Biblical story and “St. Augustine” is one of these.  We'll find out how an unexpected visitor told the saint to get over himself, how Carpaccio created an immersive media experience in a Venetian meetinghouse, and how a dog beat out a weasel for a role in this scene.  SHOW NOTES “A Long Look” theme is “Ascension” by Ron Gelinas https://youtu.be/jGEdNSNkZoo Episode music is “Sheep May Safely Graze - BWV 208” and “Lone Harvest”  by Kevin MacLeod  https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/music.html.

När är människan vild och när är hon civiliserad? Venetianarnas syn på skogen på 1700-talet kan lära oss mycket om vilka vi är och kan vara. Idéhistorikern Julia Nordblad reflekterar över trädens tid. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publiceras 2020.Trädet kallades Senatorn, men eftersom det var så gammalt var det namnet förstås bara det senaste i en lång rad. När trädet en gång varit ungt hade varken kristendom eller islam funnits i världen, och när européer dök upp på den halvö på den nordamerikanska kontinenten där det levde, hade det redan stått där och långsamt låtit rötterna treva sig genom marken i tretusen år. En bra bit in på dess fjärde årtusende hade en svensk upplysningsman ordnat all världens växter och djur i ett enda system, och därmed givit trädet ett annat av dess namn: Taxodium distichum, sumpcypress.Stefano Mancuso och Alessandra Viola beskriver i boken Intelligenta växter: Den överraskande vetenskapen om växternas hemliga liv det evolutionära vägskäl som för femhundra miljoner år sedan skiljde växterna från djuren. Då föddes två radikalt olika, men båda framgångsrika, förslag på hur livet kan utvecklas och mångfaldiga sig in i framtiden. Ett stillastående och långsamt växtliv mot ett kortare, rörligt djurliv.Medan trädet i en oavbruten rörelse, decennium efter decennium, århundrade efter århundrade sträcker sig mot solen smattrar våra livstider förbi. Stater, ja hela civilisationer dyker upp och försvinner igen. Stillastående rör sig trädet förbi oss, in i framtiden.Vi lever sida vid sida genom ett helt människoliv, för trädet ett ögonblick. Trädets tid gör människan gåtfull: vilka är vi egentligen, vi rörliga, kortlivade?Många samhällen har försökt sträcka sig efter trädens tid för att säkra tillgången på timmer och bränsle. Inte hugga för tidigt, inte allt på en gång, ge sig till tåls. Genom hela moderniteten har statstjänstemän, politiker och filosofer brottats med frågan om vad som kan förmå människor att anpassa sig till den långa tiden? Svaren har varit olika, och varje samhälles förhållande till träden har därför också speglat vad det har trott om människan.I renässansrepubliken Venedig var trädens tid en ständig huvudvärk. Historiken Karl Appuhn beskriver i boken A Forest on the Sea hur Venedig byggde hela sin existens på handel och militära expeditioner sjövägen. Det var en stat vars glans och ära krävde skepp på skepp av trä, en hel skog på havet. För att garantera republikens fortlevnad byggde den venetianska politiska klassen under loppet av fyra hundra år upp ett intrikat system av lagar och institutioner för att hushålla med skogen så att det alltid skulle finnas timmer av tillräcklig storlek att bygga fartyg av.I början av 1700-talet skickade den venetianska senaten ut en skogsinspektör vid namn Leonardo Mocenigo för att inventera skogarna på fastlandet. Han gick grundligt till väga. Nöjde sig inte med att avlägga rapport om ekbeståndet, utan försökte också utveckla den politiska vokabulär han tyckte att ett samhälle behövde när det var helt beroende av en växt som tog flera århundraden på sig att bli färdig för skörd. Mocenigo hittade orden för vad han såg som principerna bakom en långsiktig skogspolitik.Genom att använda italienskans olika ord för skog illustrerade han hur skogspolitiken i grunden handlade om människan. Bosco var den skog som sköttes väl, det vill säga som brukades enligt republikens principer, med det allmänna bästa i meningen samhällets långsiktiga intressen för ögonen. Kontrasten var selva, vildmarken. Men inte vildmarken som vi tänker oss den idag, som den orörda naturen, utan vildmarken som den natur där den vilda människan fått härja och det kortsiktiga egenintresset styra. Både bosco och selva var alltså människans skogar. Den avgörande skillnaden låg inte i huruvida människan alls hade brukat naturen, utan i vem hon varit när hon gjort det. Vad hon låtit sig drivas av när hon planerat, och huggit eller avstått och låtit träden stå kvar. Hur långt framåt hon sett.Mocenigos sätt att föreställa sig relationen mellan människan, republiken och naturen var inte främmande för hans publik, alltså de venetianska senatorerna. De var vana vid att betrakta de politiska institutionerna som garanter för det långsiktiga allmänintresset. Men Mocenigos ord för skogen ställer frågor vi är mindre vana vid idag. När är människan vild och när är hon civiliserad? Vad behövs för att hålla den vilda, den kortsiktiga, människan borta från skogen?Venetianarnas framtid hängde på tillgången på högklassigt timmer och de byggde därför upp en byråkrati och ett politiskt språk som garanterade att träden fick stå i ett par hundra år. Vår framtid är beroende av riktiga skogar, för att dämpa den globala upphettningen och dess effekter, binda koldioxid och jord, rädda några av alla de arter som riskerar att försvinna för alltid. Venedigs villkor är på så sätt också vårt: utan träd ingen framtid. Kan vi lära oss något av venetianarna, deras institutioner och ord för trädens tid?Den sumpcypress som kallades Senatorn var välkänd i sin trakt i det som idag är Florida. Med sin nästan fyrtio meter höga, till stor del ihåliga stam var den ett landmärke i terrängen, liksom i människors minnen och vanor. Klockan halv sex på morgonen den sextonde januari 2012 kröp tjugosexåriga Sara Barnes in där, som hon brukade, för att i lugn och ro få röka sitt metamfetamin. Som vanligt gjorde hon upp en liten eld för att se bättre. Just den här dagen måste Sara ha varit ostadig på handen, för plötsligt hade elden spritt sig till trädets stam, och gick inte att släcka längre. När brandkåren kom brann sumpcypressen som en skorsten och var bortom räddning. Senatorn blev dess sista namn.Människan har potential för allt. Av alla rörliga livsformer är hon den rörligaste. Också hennes förhållande till tid är föränderligt. Hon kan offra vad som helst för ruset sju minuter bort, eller planera för de kommande tre hundra åren. Frågan är åt vilken människa ett samhälle anförtror skogen. Vårt förhållande till träden miljöfrågan om man så vill handlar inte så mycket om vårt förhållande till naturen som om vårt förhållande till oss själva. Vem vårt samhälle tror att människan är, och vem det gör henne till.Hur har vi det med trädens tid idag? Har vi ens ord för den? Är det selva eller bosco som Sveaskog kalhugger?Kortsynta myllrar vi kring trädens fötter, ägnar dem sällan någon uppmärksamhet. Ändå är vår tillvaro trädens och växternas verk. När de en gång i prekambrisk tid lämnade livet i havet förändrades allt. Det var de som syresatte luften, sänkte koldioxidhalten i atmosfären och temperaturen på jorden. Växterna skapade långsamt de rätta omständigheterna för en evolutionär explosion av alltmer komplexa livsformer. De genererade hela den biokemiska sfär på planetens yta där det rörliga livet kunde mångfaldigas, där människan kunde utvecklas. De skapade den enda värld vi kan leva i, den värld där solljus silas grönt och skuggor rör sig i vinden.Julia Nordblad, idéhistorikerLitteraturKarl Appuhn, A Forest on the Sea: Environmental Expertise in Renaissance Venice, Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009.Jaboury Ghazoul, Forests: A Very Short Introduction, Oxford University Press, 2015.Stefano Mancuso och Alessandra Viola, Intelligenta växter: Den överraskande vetenskapen om växternas hemliga liv, översättning Olov Hyllienmark, Bazar, 2018.Richard Powers, The Overstory, Random House UK, 2018.Rachel Sussman, The Oldest Living Things in the World, The University of Chicago Press, 2014.

A globe-spanning, different and vital new history of gender, narrated by the author. Across the world today, people of all ages are doing fascinating, creative, messy things with gender. These people have a rich history - but one that is often left behind by narratives of trans lives that focus on people with stable, binary, uncomplicated gender identities. As a result, these stories tend to be recent, binary, stereotyped, medicalised and white. Before We Were Trans is a new and different story of gender, that seeks not to be comprehensive or definitive, but - by blending culture, feminism and politics - to widen the scope of what we think of as trans history by telling the stories of people across the globe whose experience of gender has been transgressive, or not characterised by stability or binary categories. Transporting us from Renaissance Venice to seventeenth-century Angola, from Edo Japan to North America, the stories this book tells leave questions and resist conclusions. They are fraught with ambiguity, and defy modern Western terminology and categories - not least the category of 'trans' itself. But telling them provides a history that reflects the richness of modern trans reality more closely than any previously written. Before We Were Trans is a history and celebration of gender in all its fluidity, ambiguity and complexity.

At the end of the 15th century, large-scale-cyclical-narrative paintings became quite popular in Renaissance Venice. One of these cycles illustrates in spectacular fashion the legends of the relic of the True Cross that was owned by the Scuola Grande of St. John the Evangelist. This episode examines the three most important paintings of this cycle, which were executed by two of Venice's most important painters.

Before turning to fiction, she was a teacher, a waitress, and a marketer in Silicon Valley. Her debut novel, The Lost Diary of Venice, features two impossible love stories which are fatefully connected by one artistic legacy that leaps between the mysteries of late-Renaissance Venice and the dramas of present-day America.We had a great chat with Margaux about how her discovery of a real Venetian treatise inspired her novel, and hear about her path to publishing. She tells us about her 5am starts to get the book written, and the importance of research when writing historical fiction.

In a way, the space where we live is an exhibition, a curation of an exact moment in time. As humans, we are constantly assessing the world around us and arranging it to fit our values. But, what factors influence our sense of taste and point of view? What makes something desirable? What methods do designers and leaders apply to contextualize products, information, and experiences people love? In this episode, Gautam Mukunda speaks with the Head of the Design Lab at Harvard, Dr. Beth Altringer, and the Chair, Art for Europe at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, Dr. Frederick Ilchman about the relationship between design and technology, and how shaping taste is a powerful way to lead. “Curating properly means to care for something, to preserve it. It's a rather beautiful calling. You are trying to save the best of the past for the present so we can understand what our future is going to be.” — Dr. Frederick Ilchman Follow @GMukunda on Twitter   Books Referenced: Arnhem: The Battle for the Bridges, 1944, by Antony Beevor Stalingrad, by Antony Beevor Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry, by Leanne Shapton Salt Fat Acid Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking, by Samin Nosrat The Flavor Bible: The Essential Guide to Culinary Creativity, Based on the Wisdom of America’s Most Imaginative Chefs, by Karen Page, Andrew Dornenburg The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses, by Jesse Schell Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, by Caroline Criado-Perez   Guest Info: Dr. Frederick Ilchman is an art historian and museum curator.

Prostitute guidebooks flourished in Renaissance Venice, Georgian London, belle époque Paris -- and early 1900s Kansas City. What can historians learn from studying their well-thumbed pages?

Violet Moller has written a narrative history of the transmission of books from the ancient world to the modern. In The Map of Knowledge: A Thousand-Year History of How Classical Ideas Were Lost and Found (Doubleday, 2019), Moller traces the histories of migration of three ancient authors, Euclid, Ptolemy and Galen, from ancient Alexandria in 500 to Syria and Constantinople, to Baghdad in 800, and then to Renaissance Venice in the 15th century. Moller demonstrates how tenuous were the chances of such ancient works' survival, from the depredations of invading armies to the hazards of fire and flooding, to the problems of translation through multiple languages over the centuries. The migration of ancient texts from Greece to the Middle East and back to medieval Europe is a fascinating story of how knowledge was preserved when certain conditions were met, such as political stability, the willingness of itinerant scholarly “manuscript hunters” to risk life and limb to find obscure, ancient texts, and the openness to tolerate and embrace knowledge derived from other cultures and civilizations. Moller's book is the story of how the texts upon which the modern world was built were acquired through fortuitous accident and scholarly diligence. Ian J. Drake is an Associate Professor of Political Science and Law at Montclair State University. His scholarly interests include American legal and constitutional history and political theory.

Moller’s book is the story of how the texts upon which the modern world was built were acquired through fortuitous accident and scholarly diligence. Ian J.

Violet Moller has written a narrative history of the transmission of books from the ancient world to the modern. In The Map of Knowledge: A Thousand-Year History of How Classical Ideas Were Lost and Found (Doubleday, 2019), Moller traces the histories of migration of three ancient authors, Euclid, Ptolemy and Galen, from ancient Alexandria in 500 to Syria and Constantinople, to Baghdad in 800, and then to Renaissance Venice in the 15th century.

Saul of Tarsus is having a very bad day at work. We'll find out what (or who) is causing all the chaos he encounters on the road and how picking a fight with the wrong guy led Saul into an unexpected career change.

Patricia Fortini Brown, Professor Emerita of Art & Archaeology, Princeton UniversitySaturday, February 9, 2019Wives, virgins or courtesans? The feminine mystique of Renaissance Venice sanctioned two desirable roles for honorable women: as a wife and mother managing the family palace or as a virginal bride of Christ confined to a convent. Carpaccio’s Life of Saint Ursula presents an elegant paradigm of duty, forbearance and sacrifice, suitable for both such options. But there was also a third, unsanctioned, role for which Venice was famous: the courtesan. Often talented, well-educated and sumptuously dressed, courtesans might easily be mistaken for patrician wives and daughters, as exemplified by Titian’s mysterious Lady in White. This talk explores how the portrayal of women in art and literature mediated between the ideals of the feminine mystique and the realities of the time.Presented in conjunction with Titian’s Portrait of a Lady in White, c. 1561, on loan from the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.  

Venetian Renaissance painter Giovanni Bellini is widely considered one of the greatest Italian artists of all time. His landscapes are imbued with allegory and a reverence for nature. In this episode, we listen as two curators, Davide Gasparotto and Keith Christiansen, visit the Getty Museum’s exhibition Giovanni Bellini: Landscapes of Faith in Renaissance Venice to … Continue reading "Talking About Paintings: Giovanni Bellini"

Professor Richard Sennett has spent an intellectual lifetime exploring how humans live in cities. In this pair of essays Richard Sennett explores displacement in the metropolis through two vibrant historical moments: mid-nineteenth-century Paris, with its community of political exiles, a place where ‘you look in the mirror and see someone who is not yourself’; and Renaissance Venice, where state-imposed restrictions on ‘outsider’ groups – including prostitutes as well as Jews – had some surprising cultural consequences. Richard Sennett discussed these ideas with Sewell Chan, international news editor at the New York Times. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Naomi Alderman, Geoff Mulgan and Lionel Bently join Philip Dodd to explore the ever-changing meaning of Originality. Nicholas Penny, director of the National Gallery, discusses the meaning of greatness in art in front of the new exhibition - Veronese: Magnificence in Renaissance Venice. And as Simon Stephens's new play Birdland opens, the playwright talks inspirations, death and originality.

With Kirsty Lang. A new exhibition at the National Gallery Veronese: Magnificence in Renaissance Venice brings together masterpieces by Veronese from around the world, some of which have not been united since they were painted in Veronese's studio in the 16th century. Sarah Dunant reviews. Following the success of Twenty Twelve, the comedy series which revolved around preparations for the London Olympics, writer John Morton now turns his attention to the BBC. In W1A, Hugh Bonneville's Ian Fletcher has been head-hunted for the role of the BBC's Head Of Values. John talks to Kirsty about the series, and about the art of accurately catching the tone of the worlds he portrays. Labor Day stars Kate Winslet as the mother of a young boy who falls for an escaped convict, played by Josh Brolin, over the course of a Labor Day weekend. The film was adapted for the screen by the writer/director Jason Reitman from a novel by Joyce Maynard. Kate Muir reviews. Violinist and conductor Sigiswald Kuijken gives Kirsty a studio demonstration of an "extinct" instrument: the violoncello da spalla or "shoulder cello". It went out of fashion in the middle of the 18th century, and Sigiswald explains his theory that many of Bach's works, including the Brandenburg concertos and cello suites, may have been originally written not for the cello, but for the violoncello da spalla. Producer: Olivia Skinner.
