Friends of the Rosary,Today, as the conclave has started in Rome, we pray for those gathered in Rome, especially the cardinal electors, who will soon elect St. Peter's newest successor, the 267th Pope.They will elect the man who will become our next Pope, the successor of Pope Francis, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.As they enter the Sistine Chapel, they will sing the “Veni Creator Spiritus” (“Come Holy Spirit, Creator Blest”).The proceedings will take place in absolute secrecy, with the 133 cardinal electors sequestered mainly from the outside world until a new supreme pontiff is chosen.The Sistine Chapel [in the picture above], located in the heart of the Vatican, is surrounded by the beauty of frescoes by Michelangelo, Pietro Perugino, Sandro Botticelli, and Domenico Ghirlandaio. It has witnessed every papal election since 1492.Also, today in the Gospel (John 6:35-40), the Lord says, Everyone who believes in the Son will have eternal life, and I shall raise him up on the last day.“I am the bread of life;Whoever comes to me will never hunger,and whoever believes in me will never thirst.”Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will. Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

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

Located in the Apostolic Palace, the pope's official residence in Vatican City, The Sistine Chapel takes its name from Pope Sixtus, who had it built during the 1470s. Since that time, it has served as a place of both religious and functionary papal activity. Today, it is the site of the papal conclave, the process by which a new pope is selected. The chapel's fame lies mainly in the frescoes that decorate its interior by a team of Renaissance painters including Sandro Botticelli, Pietro Perugino, Pinturicchio, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Cosimo Rosselli, and most particularly the Sistine Chapel ceiling and The Last Judgment covering the whole altar wall, both by Michelangelo.

El artesano Pablo Ortiz de Zárate nos habla de cuadros que se pintaban como recuerdo de la boda, pero que no retratan a los novios, obras que representan historias mitológicas que encierran mensajes simbólicos para educar a los novios sobre cómo debían actuar. Esa es la función del cuadro en el que se centra hoy, uno de los más famosos del mundo: ‘Venus y Marte' de Sandro Botticelli, pintado en Florencia en 1483 y que esconde una historia muy interesante que casi siempre pasa desapercibida.

In questo episodio andremo a trattare di uno degli artisti simbolo del Rinascimento italiano, noto per la sua grazia e per il suo ritorno ai temi del mito: Sandro Botticelli

¿QUÉ APORTES HIZO SANDRO BOTTICELLI? by Rosa Argentina Rivas Lacayo

#HerkeseSanat

fWotD Episode 2645: Homeric Hymns Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 1 August 2024 is Homeric Hymns.The Homeric Hymns (Ancient Greek: Ὁμηρικοὶ ὕμνοι, romanized: Homērikoì húmnoi) are a collection of thirty-three ancient Greek hymns and one epigram. The hymns praise deities of the Greek pantheon and retell mythological stories, often involving a deity's birth, their acceptance among the gods on Mount Olympus, or the establishment of their cult. In antiquity, the hymns were generally, though not universally, attributed to the poet Homer: modern scholarship has established that most date to the seventh and sixth centuries BCE, though some are more recent and the latest, the Hymn to Ares, may have been composed as late as the fifth century CE.The Homeric Hymns share compositional similarities with the Iliad and the Odyssey, also traditionally attributed to Homer. They share the same artificial literary dialect of Greek, are composed in dactylic hexameter, and make use of short, repeated phrases known as formulae. It is unclear how far writing, as opposed to oral composition, was involved in their creation. They may initially have served as preludes to the recitation of longer poems, and have been performed, at least originally, by singers accompanying themselves on a lyre or other stringed instrument. Performances of the hymns may have taken place at sympotic banquets, religious festivals and royal courts.There are references to the Homeric Hymns in Greek poetry from around 600 BCE; they appear to have been used as educational texts by the early fifth century BCE, and to have been collected into a single corpus after the third century CE. Their influence on Greek literature and art was relatively small until the third century BCE, when they were used extensively by Alexandrian poets including Callimachus, Theocritus and Apollonius of Rhodes. They were also an influence on Roman poets, such as Lucretius, Catullus, Virgil, Horace and Ovid. In late antiquity (c. 200 – c. 600 CE), they influenced both pagan and Christian literature, and their collection as a corpus probably dates to this period. They were comparatively neglected during the succeeding Byzantine period (that is, until 1453), but continued to be copied in manuscripts of Homeric poetry; all the surviving manuscripts of the hymns date to the fifteenth century. They were also read and emulated widely in fifteenth-century Italy, and indirectly influenced Sandro Botticelli's painting The Birth of Venus.The Homeric Hymns were first published in print by Demetrios Chalkokondyles in 1488–1489. George Chapman made the first English translation of them in 1624. Part of their text was incorporated, via a 1710 translation by William Congreve, into George Frideric Handel's 1744 musical drama Semele. The rediscovery of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter in 1777 led to a resurgence of European interest in the hymns. In the arts, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe used the Hymn to Demeter as an inspiration for his 1778 melodrama Proserpina. Their textual criticism progressed considerably over the nineteenth century, particularly in German scholarship, though the text continued to present substantial difficulties into the twentieth. The Homeric Hymns were also influential on the English Romantic poets of the early nineteenth century, particularly Leigh Hunt, Thomas Love Peacock and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Later poets to adapt the hymns included Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and Constantine P. Cavafy. Their influence has also been traced in the works of James Joyce, the films of Alfred Hitchcock, and the novel Coraline by Neil Gaiman.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:47 UTC on Thursday, 1 August 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Homeric Hymns on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Arthur.

¿QUIÉN FUE SANDRO BOTTICELLI? by Rosa Argentina Rivas Lacayo

When in Boston, make sure you include a visit to ‘The Gardner' as it is known locally. Conveniently situated on ‘The Fenway', close to the MFA and the Back Bay area. It is a remarkable building and an extraordinary collection formed at the dawn of the era when Americans collected European art, and in the process created something entirely personal, new and exciting. I met with Nathaniel Silver, Associate Director and Chief Curator at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, at Fenway Court, to discuss his own journey through the history of art collecting in America and the UK, and to hear about how Isabella Stewart Gardner formed and lived with her remarkable art collection, in her spectacular Venetian-style palazzo in Boston, Fenway Court. Nat is a co-author of a new biography of Isabella Stewart Gardner. Thanks for reading Ornament !

Photographs of Bernard Berenson (or ‘BB' as he was known) and Isabella Stewart Gardner. Rubens:Rembrandt:Soissons cathedral:Titian:After the spectacular opening of Fenway Court in 1903, Charles Eliot Norton, the Harvard art historian and friend of Mrs Gardner, wrote “Palace and Gallery (there is no other word for it) are such an exhibition of the genius of a woman of wealth as never seen before. The building, of which she is the sole architect, is admirably designed. I know of no private collection in Europe which compares with this in the uniform level of the works it contains.” N. Silver and D. S. Greenwald, Isabella Stewart Gardner - A Life, 2022, p. 106.Nat referred to three collections he likes to visit - all of which must have served as inspiration for Mrs Gardner's collections and their display in Boston.Nat's chosen work is Pesellino's, Story of David and Goliath, which with its pair, The Triumph of David, was included in the (very beautiful) recent exhibition at the National Gallery (December 2023-March 2024). Both panels may have been painted as decorative panels for the front of (two) marriage cassone. Prior to the exhibition's opening, the panels were conserved at the National Gallery. The restorer Jill Dunkerton discussed their restoration here on The Art Newspaper's podcast - (interview starts at 42:08).See also The Isabella Stewart Gardner museum on Google Arts and Culture Thanks for reading Ornament !

"Quest'anno abbiamo 13 tour operator che sono venuti qui in Thailandia per incontrare i nostri albergatori. Ed è veramente un incontro fondamentale" Sandro Botticelli, direttore marketing Tat per Italia, commenta così la partecipazione delle aziende della Penisola al Thailand Travel Mart Plus 2024, in corso in questi giorni nella provincia di Phang-Nga. Nel corso dell'evento, ai microfoni di Gente di Viaggi, Botticelli fa anche il punto sull'andamento delle tariffe aeree, uno dei nodi dolenti del momento. "Oggi siamo ancora a un prezzo medio superiore del 45% rispetto alla tariffa superiore del 2019", riporta il direttore marketing. Ma questo ha anche alzato il livello medio del turista italiano in Thailandia e ha anche innalzato le richieste dal punto di vista della sistemazione alberghiera. In definitiva, ad oggi si sta spostando verso la Thailandia un turista italiano più altospendente rispetto a quanto accadeva nel passato.

Pierwsza msza w kaplicy wzniesionej za Sykstusa IV została odprawiona w 1483 r. – ściany Kaplicy Sykstyńskiej ozdobili malowidłami tacy artyści jak Domenico Ghirlandaio, Sandro Botticelli, Pietro Perugino, czy Cosimo Rosselli. W XVI wieku jednak dodane zostały freski wykonane przez Michała Anioła Buonarrotiego, i to właśnie ta część dekoracji stała się najsłynniejszym elementem kaplicy: to malowidła na sklepieniu (1508-1512) oraz Sąd Ostateczny na ścianie (1536-1541). W wyniku ich kompleksowej renowacji w latach 1980-1994 zupełnie zmieniły się ich kolorystyka i modelunek, co wciąż wywołuje dyskusje wśród ekspertów. Jedni twierdzą, że wreszcie przywrócono oryginalny wygląd fresków, inni – że zostały one częściowo zniszczone.Sztuka Powszechnie Nieznana to autorski cykl Magdaleny Łanuszki w Podkaście Tygodnika Powszechnego. W odcinku specjalnym nasza autorka, doktor historii sztuki, mediewistka i pasjonatka sztuki średniowiecznej, zaprasza do wysłuchania opowieści o kontrowersjach związanych z renowacją fresków Michała Anioła w Kaplicy Sykstyńskiej.Partnerami podkastu są: Manuscriptum, organizator, oraz Agencja Live, producent wystawy „Kaplica Sykstyńska.

Franco Giletta"I volti del sogno""I volti del sogno" è il titolo della mostra personale dell'artista e scrittore Franco Giletta nei suggestivi spazi della Chiesa di Santa Maria del Monastero a Manta, con il patrocinio del Comune di Manta e di grandArte. L'esposizione, a cura di Fabrizio Garelli e Cristiana Addis, sarà visitabile fino al 24 settembre, il sabato e la domenica dalle 14,30 alle 18,30, con ingresso libero.La mostra rappresenta una sorta di percorso onirico attraverso la bellezza del volto femminile. In particolare, nove opere realizzate appositamente per questa esposizione attraverso le quali l'artista, partendo dalla sua passione per la storia, propone una serie di volti che rimandano alle nove eroine dell'antichità rappresentate nella Sala Baronale del Castello della Manta e che dialogano con gli affreschi quattrocenteschi di Santa Maria del Monastero.Un'esposizione site-specific dunque, che punta anche a valorizzare uno dei luoghi simbolo dell'antico Marchesato di Saluzzo attraverso l'arte contemporanea. Gli affreschi del Castello della Manta e di Santa Maria del Monastero testimoniano la presenza sul territorio di una inesauribile creatività che dal gotico internazionale si proiettò verso la straordinaria epoca rinascimentale e con cui i volti sognanti di Franco Giletta, in una sorta di eco della storia, paiono connettersi in un senso di continuità nel contemporaneo.Così, nel percorso espositivo si rivedranno, come risvegliate da un sonno misterioso, i volti di Pentesilea, Teuca, Tomiri, Lampeto, Etiope, Semiramide, Ippolita, Sinope, Deipile.Volti di ideale e classica bellezza, figure femminili in primo piano, con occhi spesso socchiusi, forse a rappresentare il pensiero, il sogno, l'immaginazione, come a voler sentire il profumo della storia. Sono molti I volti del sogno.Franco Giletta è nato a Saluzzo nel 1967. Artista e scrittore, dal 1995 ha iniziato un'intensa attività espositiva in Italia e all'estero con la partecipazione a una serie di mostre sulla nuova figurazione italiana presso sedi istituzionali in Australia, Belgio, Egitto, Francia, Giappone, Giordania, Libano, Marocco, Portogallo, Siria, Spagna, Stati Uniti. Sempre nel 1995 è stato invitato, unico italiano dell'anno, dalla Royal Society of Portrait Painters di Londra all'esposizione annuale dei ritrattisti. Nel 2004 una sua pala d'altare raffigurante S. Antonio Maria Claret è stata collocata in permanenza nella Chiesa di Santa Lucia del Gonfalone a Roma. Nel 2011 è stato invitato ad esporre dal Prof. Vittorio Sgarbi alla 54° Biennale di Venezia. Nel 2013 ha realizzato il ritratto di Lucia Bosè utilizzato per il manifesto del film Alfonsina y el mar. Nel 2015 la sua opera Omaggio al Monviso è stata esposta nella mostra Il Tesoro d'Italia a cura di Vittorio Sgarbi a Expo Milano 2015. Nel 2016 ha realizzato il dipinto Angel of Peace esposto nella sede di Eataly al World Trade Center a New York. Dal 2019 un suo ritratto dedicato a Sandro Botticelli è collocato a fianco della tomba dell'artista toscano nella Chiesa di San Salvatore in Ognissanti a Firenze. Ha pubblicato i libri La tavolozza di Leonardo e L'ombra della torre di Saluzzo editi da Fusta Editore. Nel 2022 è stato ospite narrante del programma TV di Rai Uno A Sua Immagine nella puntata dedicata alla storia dell'antico Marchesato di Saluzzo.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

Giorgio Vasari (1511-74) may have gone down in history as the very first Western art historian, but he is also a messy bench who loves drama, and we are here for it. Listen to his take on Sandro Botticelli from “The Lives of the Artists” (Bondanella trans., 1991), particularly his practical jokes, from which no friend or neighbor escaped unscathed.

La semana pasada recuperamos al monográfico dedicado a la pintura mitológica de Velazquez. Pues bien, en la misma sección, Los Viajes de Aspasia, de la mano de Mariajo Noain, volvemos a ponernos frente a un lienzo en blanco para llenarlo de historia del arte, abordando nada menos que a Sandro Botticelli y sus obras de carácter mitológico. Viajaremos por tanto a la Florencia de los Médici para contemplar, a través de las ondas, obras como los celebérrimos Nacimiento de Venus o La primavera.

The Italian tourism ministry thought it had a sure-fire way to bring travelers into the country: turning a 15th-century art icon into a 21st-century “virtual influencer.” The digital rendition of Venus, goddess of love, based on Sandro Botticelli's Renaissance masterpiece “Birth of Venus,” can be seen noshing on pizza and snapping selfies for her Instagram page. Unlike the original, this Venus is fully clothed. The influencer claims to be 30, or “maybe just a wee bit (older) than that.” But the new ad campaign is facing significant backlash — with critics calling it a “new Barbie” that trashes Italy's cultural heritage. The tourist campaign “trivializes our heritage in the most vulgar way, transforming Botticelli's Venus into yet another stereotyped female beauty,” Livia Garomersini, an art historian and activist with Mi Riconosci, an art and heritage campaign organization, said in a response to the project. The yearlong campaign, produced by national tourism agency ENIT and advertising group Armando Testa, is estimated to have cost 9 million euros (about $9.9 million), according to ENIT CEO Ivana Jelinic. Jelinic said that the campaign was designed for overseas markets to attract younger tourists. The online Venus launched in Italy on April 20 and made her international debut in Dubai at the Arabian Travel Market. The criticism extends beyond the use of a masterpiece to the manner in which the campaign was orchestrated, including its use of stock images and other gaffes like a promotional video featuring a winery in Slovenia, used as a stand-in for Italy. Matteo Flora, a University of Pavia professor, said the campaign also wasted money. The campaign's creative team chose to use the “intelligence of human creativity,” rather than artificial intelligence, to build the virtual Venus — but Flora showed how he could quickly come up with a similar campaign using AI at a cost of 20 euros. His social media posts have been shared by thousands of people. The use of a likeness of Botticelli's masterpiece has been lambasted by art historians as well, who say it vastly diminishes the beauty and mystery of the 15th-century original.

Italy will push for a law imposing stiff, five-figure fines on vandals who damage monuments or other cultural sites, to help pay for the repairs and clean-up. At a Cabinet meeting, the government approved proposed legislation championed by the culture minister that would impose fines starting at 10,000 euros (nearly $11,000) and as high as 60,000 euros (about $65,000). Premier Giorgia Meloni's right-wing government has a comfortable majority in Parliament, so the proposal is expected to be easily approved and adopted into law. Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano said that it recently cost the government 40,000 euros (almost $44,000) to clean the façade of the 15th-century Palazzo Madama, which is home to the Italian Senate, after it was vandalized. Just days ago, activists pressing for more action on climate change dumped black dye into the waters of a monumental fountain sculpted by Bernini at the foot of the Spanish Steps. “The attacks on monuments and artistic sites produce economic damage to all,” the minister said in a statement. “To clean it up, the intervention of highly specialized personnel and the use of very costly machines are needed,” he said. “Whoever carries out these acts must assume also the financial responsibility.” The Bernini fountain was also trashed in 2015 by Dutch soccer fans, who left empty beer bottles floating in its water. In July 2022, Italian environmental activists glued their hands to the glass protecting Sandro Botticelli's iconic painting “Spring” in the Uffizi Galleries in Florence, police said. The museum said thanks to the glass, which was installed as a precaution several years ago, the masterpiece was unharmed. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

The ad depicts Sandro Botticelli's 'Birth of Venus' as a pizza-eating influencer and it features footage that isn't even in Italy. 

Simonetta Vespucci foi a principal musa do Renascimento. Seu rosto, perfeito para os padrões da época, serviu de base para que Botticelli pintasse sua famosa Vênus, entre outros quadros. Simonetta Cattaneo nasceu por volta de 1453, filha de uma nobre família genovesa. Supõe-se que ela tenha tido acesso à educação normal para meninas de sua época: aulas sobre atividades domésticas, etiqueta, canto, dança e artes. Casou-se aos 15 anos, com o florentino Marco Vespucci (primo do navegador Américo Vespúcio). Seu marido era influente em Florença, e tinha boas relações com a Família Médici. Simonetta logo atraiu a atenção de toda a corte florentina. Em 1475, Giuliano de Médici apareceu em um torneio de cavalaria segurando um estandarte de Simonetta caracterizada como Palas Atena, pintada por Sandro Botticelli. A partir daí, Vespucci passaria a ser a maior musa do artista, e ficaria conhecida como a mulher mais bela de Florença. Há boatos de que ela tenha sido amante de Giuliano de Médici, mas nada foi provado. Um ano após sua consagração como musa florentina, Simonetta Vespucci faleceu por conta de complicações pulmonares, com apenas 22 anos. Seu caixão foi carregado aberto pela cidade, para que todos pudessem admirála pela última vez. Postumamente, Sandro Botticelli pintou pelo menos seis quadros inspirados pelo rosto de Simonetta Vespucci, sendo o mais famoso “O Nascimento de Vênus”, pintado nove anos após a morte da musa. O encantamento de Botticelli pela beleza de Simonetta era tanto que o pintor solicitou que, quando morresse, fosse enterrado aos pés de sua musa. Seu pedido foi realizado em 1510, e Botticelli e Simonetta seguem descansando próximos um do outro. E seguem encantando milhões de pessoas em diversos dos principais museus do mundo. 

Patronage has long been a vital part of enabling artists to create their work. I think of historical examples like Lorenzo de' Medici who funded artists as Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli and Michelangelo. I think of Peggy Guggenheim whose patronage gave us Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko.

Stefano Zuffi"La carità e la bellezza"Tino di Camaino, Beato Angelico, Filippo Lippi, Sandro BotticelliMilano, Palazzo MarinoL'appuntamento natalizio con l'arte di Palazzo Marino, che quest'anno si estende anche agli altri otto municipi per invitare tutta la città a scoprire l'arte e la bellezza durante il periodo delle feste.Grazie alla sinergia tra le città di Milano e Firenze.Palazzo Marino si apre ai milanesi durante le festività natalizie con una mostra speciale: fino al 15 gennaio 2023, quattro capolavori dell'arte fiorentina e toscana, tutti realizzati tra il Tre e il Quattrocento, saranno allestiti nella magnifica Sala Alessi di Palazzo Marino immersi in un gioco di luci e tessuti, e potranno essere ammirati gratuitamente da milanesi e turisti.La mostra, dal titolo “La Carità e la Bellezza”, vedrà la “Madonna col Bambino” dipinta da Sandro Botticelli e oggi conservata nel Museo Stibbert di Firenze; “L'adorazione dei Magi” di Beato Angelico, prezioso tabernacolo appartenente al Museo di San Marco; la “Madonna col Bambino" di Palazzo Medici Riccardi, realizzata da Filippo Lippi; “Carità", scultura del senese Tino di Camaino, proveniente dal Museo Bardini di Firenze..La mostra è curata da Stefano Zuffi e da Domenico Piraina, mentre l'organizzazione è affidata all'esperienza e alla professionalità di Civita Mostre e Musei. "La carità e la bellezza"a cura di Stefano Zuffi e Domenico PirainaEccezionalmente riuniti quattro capolavori dell'arte fiorentina e toscana tre-quattrocentesca di Beato Angelico, Sandro Botticelli, Filippo Lippi, Tino Di CamainoLa Madonna col Bambino di Sandro Botticelli, L'adorazione dei Magi di Beato Angelico, la Madonna col bambino di Filippo Lippi e Carità di Tino di Camaino: questi i quattro capolavori che declinano il tema della carità e della bellezza eccezionalmente riuniti in occasione della mostra milanese.Carità è la splendida scultura realizzata dal senese Tino di Camaino, allievo di Giovanni Pisano, il cui stile predilige forme semplici, solide, impostate su volumi geometrici ed è del tutto paragonabile a quello utilizzato, nello stesso periodo, da Giotto. La figura allegorica della Carità è una donna che si occupa di due bambini, allattandoli al seno.Il raffinato tabernacolo di Beato Angelico, gioiello del Museo di San Marco di Firenze, è stato realizzato intorno al 1430 ed è il frutto di una combinazione di tecniche tra pittura, miniatura, oreficeria e intaglio. Oltre a offrire un tema squisitamente natalizio come l'Adorazione dei Magi, il tabernacolo offre un saggio della sensibilità di Beato Angelico verso i colori, che scintillano preziosi sull'oro del fondo.La Madonna col bambino di Filippo Lippi, proveniente da Palazzo Medici Riccardi, è una delle ultime e più compiute opere su tavola del pittore, che la realizzò negli anni sessanta del Quattrocento, appena prima di trasferirsi a Spoleto per affrescare l'abside del Duomo.Quarta opera, la Madonna col Bambino dipinta intorno all'anno 1500 da Sandro Botticelli e oggi conservata nel Museo Stibbert. Dopo aver raggiunto l'apice della fama e della carriera al tempo di Lorenzo il Magnifico, negli anni che seguono la morte del suo mecenate (1492) Botticelli è fortemente impressionato dalle predicazioni apocalittiche di Gerolamo Savonarola. Un'inquietudine che si riflette sulla sua produzione artistica di quest'ultimo scorcio di vita, che lascia intatto il suo straordinario talento pittorico ma condiziona la sua intensa resa poetica.Questi quattro capolavori provenienti dai musei fiorentini dialogano con altre importanti opere antiche e moderne sul tema della carità e della bellezza appartenenti a importanti raccolte della città di Milano.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttp://ilpostodelleparole.it

Federico GiudiceandreaEscherFirenze, Museo degli Innocentifino al 26 marzo 2023https://www.museodeglinnocenti.it/https://www.arthemisia.it/it/home2/A Firenze arriva dal 20 ottobre la mostra record d'incassi dedicata a “Escher”.Oltre 200 opere saranno ospitate in una sede espositiva unica, negli spazi dello storico Museo degli Innocenti che, grazie alla collaborazione con Arthemisia, è diventato un punto di riferimento del capoluogo toscano come sede di grandi mostre d'arte.Scoperto dal grande pubblico negli ultimi anni, Escher è diventato uno degli artisti più amati in tutto il mondo, tanto che le mostre a lui dedicate hanno battuto ogni record di visitatori.Escher nasce nel 1898 in Olanda e vi muore nel 1972. Nel 1922 visita per la prima volta l'Italia, dove poi visse per molti anni, visitandola da nord a sud e rappresentandola in molte sue opere. Inquieto, riservato e indubbiamente geniale, Escher nelle sue celebri incisioni e litografie crea un mondo unico, immaginifico, impossibile, dove confluiscono arte, matematica, scienza, fisica, design.Un'antologica - con circa 200 opere e i lavori più rappresentativi che lo hanno reso celebre in tutto il mondo – che racconta il genio dell'artista olandese con le opere più iconiche della sua produzione quali Mano con sfera riflettente (1935), Vincolo d'unione (1956), Metamorfosi II (1939), Giorno e notte (1938) e la serie degli Emblemata, che appartengono all'immaginario comune riferibile al grande artista.La mostra di Escher si configura come il primo grande evento espositivo all'interno del complesso monumentale - progettato da Filippo Brunelleschi - che ospita il meraviglioso e ricchissimo Museo degli Innocenti che, con le mostre firmate Arthemisia, si è già avviato a essere sede di grandi mostre d'arte.Nato per esporre le opere d'arte dell'antico Spedale, grande centro d'accoglienza per bambini, il Museo è stato trasformato in un percorso che permette di scoprire un patrimonio culturale unico al mondo perché profondamente legato all'attività svolta in favore dei bambini che non potevano essere scresciuti dalle famiglie d'origine.Tra storia, arte e architettura, la collezione del Museo presenta opere acquisite tramite donazioni o in seguito all'accorpamento di altre istituzioni assistenziali e contiene alcuni capolavori di artisti di grande rilievo tra i quali Domenico Ghirlandaio, Luca e Andrea della Robbia, Sandro Botticelli e Piero di Cosimo, ma anche di artisti cresciuti agli Innocenti e avviati alla pittura dal priore Vincenzo Borghini come Vincenzo Ulivieri, Giovan Battista Naldini e Francesco Morandini (detto il Poppi).Con il patrocinio del Comune di Firenze, dell'Ambasciata del Regno dei Paesi Bassi, la mostra è prodotta e organizzata da Arthemisia in collaborazione con la M. C. Escher Foundation, Maurits e In Your Event, ed è curata da Mark Veldhuysen – CEO della M.C. Escher Company – e Federico Giudiceandrea, uno dei più importanti esperti di Escher al mondo.La mostra vede come sponsor Generali Valore Cultura, special partner Ricola, partner Mercato Centrale, Design outlet Barberino e Unicoop Firenze, media partner QN La Nazione, educational partner Laba e media coverage by Sky Arte.Il catalogo è edito da Maurits.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Subscribe to Quotomania on Simplecast or search for Quotomania on your favorite podcast app!Walter Pater, in full Walter Horatio Pater, (born August 4, 1839, Shadwell, London, England—died July 30, 1894, Oxford, Oxfordshire), was an English critic, essayist, and humanist whose advocacy of “art for art's sake” became a cardinal doctrine of the movement known as Aestheticism. Pater was educated at King's School, Canterbury, and at Queen's College, Oxford, where he studied Greek philosophy under Benjamin Jowett. He then settled in Oxford and read with private pupils. In 1864 he was elected to a fellowship at Brasenose College. Pater's early intention to enter the church gave way at this time to a consuming interest in classical studies. Pater then began to write for the reviews, and his essays on Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, Pico della Mirandola, Michelangelo, and others were collected in 1873 as Studies in the History of the Renaissance (later called simply The Renaissance). His delicate, fastidious style and sensitive appreciation of Renaissance art in these essays made his reputation as a scholar and an aesthete, and he became the centre of a small group of admirers in Oxford. In the concluding essay in The Renaissance, Pater asserted that art exists for the sake of its beauty alone, and that it acknowledges neither moral standards nor utilitarian functions in its reason for being. These views brought Pater into an association with Algernon Charles Swinburne and with the Pre-Raphaelites.Marius the Epicurean (1885) is his most substantial work. It is a philosophical romance in which Pater's ideal of an aesthetic and religious life is scrupulously and elaborately set forth. The setting is Rome in the time of Marcus Aurelius; but this is a thin disguise for the characteristically late-19th-century spiritual development of its main character. Imaginary Portraits (1887) are shorter pieces of philosophical fiction in the same mode. Appreciations (1889) is a return to the critical essay, this time largely on English subjects. In 1893 came Plato and Platonism, giving an extremely literary view of Plato and neglecting the logical and dialectical side of his philosophy. Pater's Greek Studies (1895), Miscellaneous Studies (1895), and Essays from The Guardian (privately printed, 1896; 1901) were published posthumously. Also published posthumously was his unfinished romance, Gaston de Latour (1896).The primary influence on Pater's mind was his classical studies, coloured by a highly individual view of Christian devotion and pursued largely as a source of extremely refined artistic sensations. In his later critical writings Pater continued to focus on the innate qualities of works of art, in contrast to the prevailing tendency to evaluate them on the basis of their moral and educational value. Pater's early influence was confined to a small circle in Oxford, but he came to have a widespread effect on the next literary generation. Oscar Wilde, George Moore, and the aesthetes of the 1890s were among his followers and show obvious and continual traces both of his style and of his ideas.From https://www.britannica.com/biography/Walter-Pater. For more information about Walter Pater:The Renaissance: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520036642/the-renaissance“Art vs. aestheticism: the case of Walter Pater”: https://newcriterion.com/issues/1995/5/art-vs-aestheticism-the-case-of-walter-paterThe Renaissance: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2398/2398-h/2398-h.htm“Walter Pater”: https://campuspress.yale.edu/modernismlab/walter-pater/

The name Sandro Botticelli is inseparable from a rich visual vocabulary of mythological subjects, abstract bodies, and an achieved pictorial aesthetic that diverts the mind from the vast complexities of his work. Yet, when we dive deep and look close, his works demonstrate a series of compound interpretations that render them often puzzling and difficult. Looking at his Primavera, this discussion unpacks several interpretations of the painting, looking at the literature around the subjects, and trying to place them in a specific historical time and context that gives a series of possible meanings to the work.  We must also discuss questions of patronage, and how a work of art can give convincing clues as to its origin. All of this relates to cultural attitudes around paganism, Christianity, eroticism and marriage in Renaissance Italy.Support the show

She was the ultimate Muse of the Renaissance, inspiring princes, painters and poets. This discussion looks to unpack the shockwave that followed the arrival of Simonetta Vespucci in Florence. Who was she, and how does history inform her impact on the Italian Renaissance? We dive deeper, interpreting how to digest the questions around attributions of her image, and how virtue, courtship, and Neoplatonic thought elevated her in Florentine society.  Even after her tragic death, La bella Simonetta was closely entangled in the developing culture by the likes of the Medici, Sandro Botticelli, and Angelo Poliziano. Couture & ConstructionWeekly conversations about luxury building & design.

Walter Pater was an influential 19thcentury English author and critic, and in 1870 he wrote a fascinating essay about the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli.

Sandro Botticelli (c.1455-1510) is credited as the man behind some of the greatest mythological paintings in Western art history—a great feat, especially considering that we still don't fully know the meaning behind his most ambitious work. Primavera, or Spring (c. 1480) is brimming with allegorical puzzle pieces. Rather than using the Primavera to tell a story from the past, this week we'll take a step into the painting itself in an effort to demystify what was once a prized possession of Florence's Medici dynasty.

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1510 Death of Sandro Botticelli, Italian Renaissance master.  His painting Allegory of Abundance or Autumn is one of his most elaborate and detailed drawings, and it depicts an abundance of flowers and fruits. Sandro painted idyllic garden scenes filled with beautiful women and men from the classical period. His painting, Primavera, depicts nine springtime gods and goddesses from classical mythology in a garden. Venus, the goddess of love, presides over the Garden of the Hesperides. To her right, Flora, the goddess of flowers, sprinkles roses. The garden features orange and laurel trees and dozens of other species of plants.   1642 On this day, Paul de Chomedey, Sieur de Maisonneuve, French military officer, catches his first glimpse of Montreal's landscape. He is recognized as the founder of Fort Ville-Marie (modern-day Montreal) in New France (Province of Quebec, Canada). In George Waldo Browne's 1905 book, The St. Lawrence River: Historical, Legendary, Picturesque, he wrote, On the 17th of May, the rounded slopes of Mount Royal, clad in the delicate green foliage of spring, burst into sight, stirring the hearts of the anxious beholders with newfound joy. They were delighted with the scenery. The fragrance of the springing forest permeated the balmy air, and, what was dearer far to them, over the water and over the landscape, rested an air of peace quite in keeping with their pious purpose. Maisonneuve was the first to step upon the land, and as the others followed him... they fell upon their knees, sending up their songs of praise and thanksgiving. Their first work was to erect an altar at a favorable spot within sight and sound of the riverbank, the women decorating the rough woodwork with some of the wildflowers growing in abundance upon the island, until the whole, looked very beautiful.  Then every member of the party... knelt in solemn silence while M. Barthelemy Vimont... performed ...high mass. As he closed, he addressed his little congregation with these prophetic words: You are a grain of mustard seed that shall rise and grow till its branches overshadow the earth.   1810 Death of Robert Tannahill, Scottish poet, and lyricist. Remembered as the 'Weaver Poet,' Robert was born in Paisley and is often hailed as Paisley's own Robert Burns, as his work is said to rival Robert Burns.  Today in Paisley, a stunning 50ft high mural of a young Robert Tannahill was painted by Mark Worst, collaborating with Paisley Housing Association. The mural overlooks where Robert Tannahill was born on Castle Street in 1774. One of Robert's most beloved songs is Will Ye Go Lassie, Go. The lyrics mention picking Wild Mountain Thyme, a plant known botanically as Thymus serpyllum (TY-mus sir-PIE-lum). Wild Mountain Thyme is a showy, wide growing groundcover from the Old World and has beautiful rose-red flowers and glossy deep green, mat-forming foliage. In the song, the thyme has grown in and around the heather. O the summer time has come And the trees are sweetly bloomin' The wild mountain thyme Grows around the bloomin' heather Will ye go, lassie, go? And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go, lassie, go?   1885 Birth of Elvin Charles Stakman, American plant pathologist. Elvin is remembered for his work identifying and combatting diseases in wheat. In 1917, he married fellow a  plant pathologist named Estelle Louise Jensen. He also encouraged Norman Borlaug to pursue his career in phytopathology after Norman's job at the Forest Service was eliminated due to budget cuts. Elvin was Norman's teacher. And Norman went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize (1970) after discovering dwarf wheat varieties that reduced famine in India, Pakistan, and other third world countries. In 1938, Elvin gave a speech entitled These Shifty Little Enemies that Destroy our Food Crops. During his talk, Elvin focused on one shifty little enemy in particular: rust. Rust is a parasitic fungus that feeds on phytonutrients in grain crops like wheat, oat, and barley. Today, Elvin is remembered with the naming of Stakman Hall - the building where Plant Pathology is taught - at the University of Minnesota's St. Paul campus.  In The Wizard and the Prophet: Two Remarkable Scientists and Their Dueling Visions to Shape Tomorrow's World, Charles Mann reflected, Stakman did not view science as a disinterested quest for knowledge. It was a tool—may be the tool—for human betterment. Not all sciences were equally valuable, as he liked to explain. “Botany,” he said, “is the most important of all sciences, and plant pathology is one of its most essential branches.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation 150 Gardens You Need To Visit Before You Die by Stefanie Waldek  This book came out in 2022.

She published a year's worth of entries in her book, The Flower Garden Day by Day.  In 1902, Louisa and her husband moved to Michigan, where they built a home called Orchard House. With the help of a gardener named Frank Ackney, Louisa began to plan and create her garden. She also began writing about her Gardens. Soon, she gave lectures, contributed pieces to magazines, wrote columns, and organized garden clubs. She even became friends with prominent gardeners of her time like Gertrude Jekyll, Charles Sprague Sargent, and the landscape architects Fletcher Steele and Ellen Biddle Shipman. Louisa learned to garden during the heyday of American Garden Culture. Her garden writing in newspaper columns and magazine publications made her the most widely read American Garden author in the United States. Louisa's first book, "The Well-Considered Garden," the preface was written by her dear friend Gertrude Jekyll. In 1915, when the book debuted, it was considered an instant classic in garden literature. Louisa would go on to write a total of nine books. The garden estate known as Blithewold has a copy of "The Well-Considered Garden." Their particular text also contains a handwritten inscription along with Louisa's signature. The inscription borrows a quote from Sir William Temple, who said, "Gardening is an enjoyment and a possession for which no man is too high or too low." Louisa changed the quote and wrote, "Gardening is an enjoyment and a possession for which no woman is too high or too low." Louisa helped start the Garden Club of America and the Women's National Farm and Garden Association. She held leadership positions in both organizations. When her husband died suddenly in 1927, Louisa was forced to sell Orchard House. She moved to Hartford, New York, and bought a property she called Kingstree. This time, she set up a smaller garden. The size meant less work, which accommodated her writing and speaking commitments better. On this day, Louisa wrote in her journal this note of advice about the Peony: May 17. Disbud most of your peonies now; that is, of a cluster of buds, cut off all but the larger central one. Certain varieties, however, are considered more beautiful if left alone to flower as they will. Among these are Alsace Lorraine and La Rosiere.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

Haimovitz recorded the album in January 2021 at von Heyl's artist studio near downtown Marfa, Texas.Purchase the music (without talk) at:Primavera I - The Wind (classicalsavings.com)Your purchase helps to support our show! Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by La Musica International Chamber Music Festival and Uber. @khedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#LaMusicaFestival #CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber Please consider supporting our show, thank you!http://www.classicalsavings.com/donate.html staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.comThis album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson).

Matt Haimovitz — Primavera II: The Rabbits (Pentatone) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Matt Haimovitz by “Being immersed in this project confirms my belief that we are in a golden age of music,” cellist Matt Haimovitz said. “There's such a range of languages and talent out there. It's really extraordinary.” Haimovitz has taken a few risks in his career. He's tried different things to introduce people to classical music. His latest endeavor focuses on future generations of cellists. It's a large-scale commissioning project, where 81 contemporary composers are invited to share their musical response to two paintings. The second recording in this six-album series, Primavera II: The Rabbits, was recently released. “It centers on two paintings,” Hamiovitz said referring to the inspiration for the album. “One is Sandro Botticelli's Primavera, an iconic painting in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. When my partner, Jeffrianne Young, and I encountered this painting, we became obsessed with it. We started reading all about its mysteries, stories, narratives and symbolism. “Around that time, we also discovered the Hirshhorn Gallery. We walked into a one-woman show by the great artist Charline von Heyl and were blown away by her work. We met with Charlene and talked about the Botticelli and the state of the world. She created Primavera 2020, a response to the Botticelli, for us. For this album, we asked all the composers to respond and engage those two paintings in any way they want.” Why did you choose to commission 81 works? “It was supposed to be nine, and it was supposed to be tone poems for cello and orchestra. All my orchestral dates dried up, and I was going nuts not having work. Basically, we changed the idea into a solo cello project. The nine composers that we started with recommend the next nine and so on. It became a viral commissioning project, which got nine layers deep.” Can you give an example of where we might hear new and interesting sounds from the cello on this album? “One interesting piece is by Niloufar Nourbakhsh, an Iranian composer. It's called Cyclical Rabbits, and I begin with plucking that sounds like an oud. It sounds like a Persian instrument. She gets that effect by using sticky tack on the string. “I realize how important it is to advocate for these composers and to bring this music to life. I want to be part of the fabric of making sure that classical music is a vibrant living entity.” To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.
