Sense Knowledge and the Challenge of Italian Renaissance Art
Author: Giles KnoxPublisher: Amsterdam University Press
ISBN: 9048544580
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Giles Knox examines how El Greco, Velázquez, and Rembrandt, though a disparate group of artists, were connected by a new self-consciousness with respect to artistic tradition. In particular, Knox considers the relationship of these artists to the art of Renaissance Italy, and sets aside nationalist art histories in order to see the period as one of fruitful exchange. Across Europe during the seventeenth century, artists read Italian-inspired writings on art, and these texts informed how they contemplated their practice. Knox demonstrates how these three artists engaged dynamically with these writings, incorporating or rejecting the theoretical premises to which they were exposed. Additionally, this study significantly expands our understanding of how paintings can activate the sense of touch. Knox discusses how Velázquez and Rembrandt, though in quite different ways, sought to conjure for viewers thoughts about touching that resonated directly with the subject matter they depicted.

Eccentric Renaissance
Author: Charles BarberPublisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780197787724
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Eccentric Renaissance shapes a distinct perspective on late-sixteenth century European painting thanks to its focus on the Greek colonial culture of Venetian Crete. Leading artists on the island immersed themselves in the world of contemporary Italian painting. In response, they developed self-conscious manners of painting that hover between the traditions of Byzantine painting and the art of the Early Modern Mediterranean. El Greco defined his work as a Greek alternative to the Vasarian account of art's history. Michaēl Damaskēnos's late paintings address the unresolved differences that may be found in a colonial society. Geōrgios Klontzas confronted the plague and the threat of Ottoman conquest by interweaving oracular and apocalyptic imagery into the history of his own times. These eccentric perspectives led to the creation of works of art that confronted their times with great originality"--

The Sacred Image in the Age of Art
Author: Marcia B. HallPublisher:
ISBN: 9780300235876
Category : Christian art and symbolism
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
"Underlying the religious art of the Renaissance is a tension between the needs of the Church and the impulse to create great works. This beautifully illustrated book presents sacred images from the 15th and 16th centuries, leading up to two pivotal events in 1563. The Council of Trent, which signified the beginning of the Counter-Reformation, defined requirements that curtailed the freedom of painters and patrons in creating art for churches, while the founding of the Accademia del Desegno in Florence symbolically acknowledged that artists had achieved the status of creators not craftsmen. The author takes a fresh look at some of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance not typically associated with sacred imagery and shows how they navigated their way through the paradox of 'limited freedom' to forge a new kind of religious art"--Publisher's description.
