Selected Drawings of Gian Lorenzo Bernini
Author: Gian Lorenzo Bernini
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
This collection contains 106 of Bernini's finest drawings, from a third to a half of his surviving graphic output, drawings characterized by bold assurance and confidence, exquisite precision, brilliance, and subtlety. Included are not only preparatory sketches and designs for the above projects, but splendid figure studies, probing portraits and self-portraits, ingenious caricatures, designs for medals, and drawings for frontispieces. We see the whole range of this artist's draughtsmanship, form his first thoughts on numerous projects to finished works of art. The volume, arranged chronologically, begins with one of Bernini's earliest surviving drawings, the "Portrait of a Young Man" (c. 1615), a possible self-portrait, and ends with a caricature of Pope Innocent XI from the last years of the artist's life (1676-80). As Bernini grew more and more successful, he became in fact a designer rather than a maker of sculpture. The drawings take on a special importance as a key indication of Bernini's original intentions, the way he saw and created projects, which his assistants than executed with varying degrees of competence. -- From publisher's description.

Bernini's Michelangelo
Author: Carolina Mangone
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300247737
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
A novel exploration of the threads of continuity, rivalry, and self-conscious borrowing that connect the Baroque innovator with his Renaissance paragon Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598–1680), like all ambitious artists, imitated eminent predecessors. What set him apart was his lifelong and multifaceted focus on Michelangelo Buonarroti—the master of the previous age. Bernini’s Michelangelo is the first comprehensive examination of Bernini’s persistent and wide-ranging imitation of Michelangelo’s canon (his art and its rules). Prevailing accounts submit that Michelangelo’s pervasive, yet controversial, example was overcome during Bernini’s time, when it was rejected as an advantageous model for enterprising artists. Carolina Mangone reconsiders this view, demonstrating how the Baroque innovator formulated his work by emulating his divisive Renaissance forebear’s oeuvre. Such imitation earned him the moniker “Michelangelo of his age.” Investigating Bernini’s “imitatio Buonarroti” in its extraordinary scope and variety, this book identifies principles that pervade his production over seven decades in papal Rome. Close analysis of religious sculptures, tomb monuments, architectural ornament, and the design of New Saint Peter’s reveals how Bernini approached Michelangelo’s art as a surprisingly flexible repertory of precepts and forms that he reconciled—here with daring license, there with creative restraint—to the aesthetic, sacred, and theoretical imperatives of his own era. Situating Bernini’s imitation in dialogue with that by other artists as well as with contemporaneous writings on Michelangelo’s art, Mangone repositions the Renaissance master in the artistic concerns of the Baroque from peripheral to pivotal. Without Michelangelo, there was no Bernini.

Bernini and the Excesses of Art
Author: Robert Torsten Petersson
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 9788887700831
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
"The vitality of Petersson's book is drawn directly from the sculpture of Bernini, an artist now regarded as the true successor of Michelangelo. It differs from others by bringing the reader inside the sculptural process, from genesis to completed form. Frequently Bernini had to solve uniquely interesting problems and his innovative talents never faltered." "As well as presenting the brilliant, flamboyant Bernini, the book simultaneously displays Rome in the throes of its Counter-Reformation renewal, the second birth of the city with the full panoply of its arts, culture, and aberrant activities during Bernini's years in the service of eight popes. In later life he expanded his fame by spending an eventful half year in Paris at the invitation of Louis XIV. The proud and touchy Bernini, then the most celebrated artist in Europe, was in a pitched battle with the arrogant and aggressive French. Yet in Paris as in Rome it is the artistic works that have lasted and are widely known as having redirected the course of European sculpture."--BOOK JACKET. Book jacket.
