Choirs of Angels
Author: Barbara Drake Boehm
Publisher: Metropolitan Museum of Art
ISBN: 1588393054
Category : Choral music
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
This delightful book describes and illustrates the Metropolitan Museum's collection of nearly 40 illuminations from Italian choral manuscripts. Representing the work of Gothic and Renaissance masters both celebrated and anonymous, these precious paintings in miniature---with their compelling narrative, brilliant color, and shining gold---bear witness to exceptional aesthetic accomplishment. The choir books they illuminate are a rich source of information about the development of chant, whose unexpected transcendent tonalities have abiding appeal today. They also serve as primary sources for the study of the lives of religious communities and of the philosophy and faith that infused medieval Europe, offering a glimpse of Italy at the dawn of the Renaissance.

Mary of Mercy in Medieval and Renaissance Italian Art
Author: KatherineT. Brown
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351559060
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Mater Misericordiae?Mother of Mercy?emerged as one of the most prolific subjects in central Italian art from the late thirteenth through the sixteenth centuries. With iconographic origins in Marian cult relics brought from Palestine to Constantinople in the fifth century, the amalgam of attributes coalesced in Armenian Cilicia then morphed as it spread to Cyprus. An early concept of Mary of Mercy?the Virgin standing with outstretched arms and a wide mantle under which kneel or stand devotees?entered the Italian peninsula at the ports of Bari and Venice during the Crusades, eventually converging in central Italy. The mendicant orders adopted the image as an easily recognizable symbol for mercy and aided in its diffusion. In this study, the author?s primary goals are to explore the iconographic origins of the Madonna della Misericordia as a devotional image by identifying and analyzing key attributes; to consider circumstances for its eventual overlapping function as a secular symbol used by lay confraternities; and to discuss its diaspora throughout the Italian peninsula, Western Europe, and eastward into Russia and Ukraine. With over 100 illustrations, the book presents an array of works of art as examples, including altarpieces, frescoes, oil paintings, manuscript illuminations, metallurgy, glazed terracotta, stained glass, architectural relief sculpture, and processional banners.

The "Madre Della Consolazione" Icon in the Museum of Torcello / Venice and the Relation of Russian Post Byzantine Iconography to Italian Renaissance Painting

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Art - History of Art, grade: excellent, language: English, abstract: The only mentioning of this Madre della Consolazione icon to the moment belongs to A. Rizzi who attributes it to any anonymous Cretan-Venetian painter of the 16th c. However, many iconographic and stylistic anomalies examined in this study, make such attribution inacceptable. As well inacceptable result some recent publications trying to suggest that the author of this iconographic type should be the Greek icon painter Nikolaos Zafouris and that his devotional paintings destined to Latin clientele should be icons. The objectives of the actual revision of these positions are to contribute for a better distinguishing among originals, copies, and replica of the Madre della Consolazione representations known to the moment, and to complete knowledge of existing sources and data regarding the Orthodox and Italian variants of this Mother of God type as regards religious history, names, iconographic prototypes and sub-variants. The exploration is limited to the microscopic and photographic investigation of the technical-technological aspects of the original. Its guide line is the impact of the post-byzantine painting on other artistic traditions as well as the reverse process, the westernization of the Orthodox painting, and namely: what determined the dynamic of the material & technical upgrading, and if the technical-technological characteristics have any relation to the place of making and to the desired significance of the image; how did traditional egg tempera evolve through mixed techniques to oil painting and how did this influence the plastic construction of the imagery; how was employed the technical knowledge going back to ancient sources.

Author:
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780810964884
Category : Illumination of books and manuscripts, Italian
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
. By way of introduction to the objects themselves are three essays. The first, by Laurence B. Kanter, presents an overview of Florentine illumination between 1300 and 1450 and thumbnail sketches of the artists featured in this volume. The second essay, by Barbara Drake Boehm, focuses on the types of books illuminators helped to create. As most of them were liturgical, her contribution limns for the modern reader the medieval religious ceremonies in which the manuscripts were utilized. Carl Brandon Strehlke here publishes important new material about Fra Angelico's early years and patrons - the result of the author's recent archival research in Florence.
