Collecting Nature
Nature can be collected in many forms and shapes: live animals have been locked up in cages, displayed in zoos and menageries and their hides and dried body parts have been used as part of installations in galleries and studies. Plants from far-away countries have been cultivated in botanical gardens and in hothouses. Furthermore, the depiction of medicinal plants and of prized animals was regarded as an important part of the decorative schemes, in an attempt to bring nature indoors. Recent research has also shown that artificialia and naturalia were displayed side by side in early modern Europe—sometimes in the company of scientifica—and that the exhibition set-up often included a compl...

l volume di impernia su due lavori distinti, ossia: Leonardo all’Annunziata Nel corso di alcuni anni di studio l’analisi degli spazi di interconnessione fra gli ambienti del convento della SS. Annunziata e dell’Istituto Geografico Militare ha permesso di evidenziare e comprendere strutture ed opere d’arte appartenenti ad epoche che vanno dal rinascimento al barocco; in particolare: una scala “dimenticata” di Michelozzo di Bartolommeo che, in origine, rappresentava il più importante collegamento tra i corpi di fabbrica conventuali in prossimità del fronte occidentale del complesso; la foresteria laica del convento in cui, nell’anno 1500, fu ospitato Leonardo da Vinci, che qui ...
Exotic Animals in the Art and Culture of the Medici Court in Florence
The book examines the roles that rare and exotic animals played in the cultural self-fashioning and the political imaging of the Medici court during the family’s reign, first as Dukes of Florence (1532-1569) and subsequently as Grand Dukes of Tuscany (1569-1737). The book opens with an examination of global practices in zoological collecting and cultural uses of animals. The Medici’s activities as collectors of exotic species, the menageries they established and their deployment of animals in the ceremonial life of the court and in their art are examined in relation to this wider global perspective. The book seeks to nuance the myth promoted by the Medici themselves that theirs was the most successful princely serraglio in early modern Europe.
L'Ercole di Piero: Tra mito e realtà
Un’opera di Piero della Francesca? Certamente un affresco affascinante e non indagato. L’Ercole, unico soggetto profano del grande maestro del primo Rinascimento, oggi conservato all’Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum di Boston, vero o falso che sia, continua a sollevare incognite, dubbi e quesiti.
ARTPOOL - The Experimental Art Archive of East-Central Europe
This volume is a collection of texts and documents selected from and illustrating the history of Artpool, a non-profit artist run institution in Budapest, established in 1979 by György Galántai and Júlia Klaniczay and operating since 1992 under the name of Artpool Art Research Center. The book focuses on Artpool’s direct antecedents (among them the events at György Galántai's Chapel Studio in Balatonboglár, 1970–1973), on the foundation, development, art projects and events, as well as the preferences and issues pertaining to art research (not independent of the historical and social environment they were conceived in) that had formed throughout the course of many years and decades...
