Cittadini of Venice
In this volume Giulia Zanon sheds new light on our grasp of social hierarchy and the possibilities for social mobility in pre-modern Italy. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach that combines deep archival research with a multitude of artistic and architectural artefacts, this work breaks new ground by contextualizing the part played by social relationships and the arts in publicly affirming and displaying the prestige of the middling sorts, the cittadini, in early modern Venice.
Jacopo Tintoretto: Identity, Practice, Meaning
Over the past twenty years or so it has finally been understood that Jacopo Tintoretto (1518/19-1594) is an old master of the very highest calibre, whose sharp visual intelligence and brilliant oil technique provides a match for any painter of any time. Based on papers given at a conference held at Keble College, Oxford, to mark the quincentenary of Tintoretto’s birth, this volume comprises ten new essays written by an international range of scholars that open many fresh perspectives on this remarkable Venetian painter. Reflecting current ‘hot spots’ in Tintoretto studies, and suggesting fruitful avenues for future research, chapters explore aspects of the artist’s professional and social identity; his graphic oeuvre and workshop practice; his secular and sacred works in their cultural context; and the emergent artistic personality of his painter-son Domenico. Building upon the opening-up of the Tintoretto phenomenon to less fixed or partial viewpoints in recent years, this volume reveals the great master’s painting practice as excitingly experimental, dynamic, open-ended, and original.
Šenovský zámek a jeho osud
Kolektiv autorů, členů Historicko letopiseckého aktivu Šenovského muzea, se rozhodl napsat knihu, která popisuje pomalu zapomenutou historii zámku v Šenově. Kniha je hledáním pravdy o lidech, kteří obyývali zámecké komnaty, a nebo chudobné chaloupky v podzámčí. Hlavním "hrdinou" však je šenovský zámek a touha naplnit slova školního rady Vincence Praseka: "Kdo své vlasti nepoznal, ten ji jakživ nekochal."
Animals and Courts
Early modern princely courts were not only inhabited by humans, but also by a large number of animals. This coexistence of non-human living beings had crucial impacts on the spatial organization, the social composition and cultural life at these courts. The contributions enrich our knowledge on another aspect of court life and invite to reconsider our basic understandings of court, courtiers and court society.
Werk | Prozesse
In der Kunstsammlung der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen befinden sich etwa 100 italienische Handzeichnungen der Frühen Neuzeit, darunter Blätter mit berühmten Namen von Botticelli über Rosso Fiorentino und Luca Cambiaso bis Benedetto Luti. Die meisten dieser Zeichnungen besitzen eine weit zurückreichende Provenienz und gelangten 1770 mit der Schenkung von Kunstwerken aus der Sammlung des Frankfurter Patriziers Johann Friedrich von Uffenbach an die Göttinger Universität. Dieser Bestand an italienischen Meisterzeichnungen ist von der Forschung bisher kaum beachtet worden. Er diente als Ausgangspunkt eines Forschungsprojektes, das 2023 mit einer Ausstellung abgeschlossen werden konnte. Zahlreiche Zuschreibungen wurden überprüft oder korrigiert und Bildmotive erstmals zutreffend bestimmt. Die Leitfrage des Katalogbuches ist die Rolle von Handzeichnungen in künstlerischen Werkprozessen.
Soffitti veneziani
I saggi raccolti in questo volume indagano la decorazione dei soffitti veneziani in un ampio raggio cronologico, considerando diverse tipologie di ambienti sia sacri che profani e di tecniche pittoriche. Al centro non tanto gli esempi famosi dei soffitti intagliati e indorati come quelli di Palazzo Ducale, della Biblioteca Marciana, della Scuola Grande di San Rocco o della chiesa di San Sebastiano: l’intento è soprattutto di contestualizzare le soluzioni rinascimentali in una più ampia visione storica per mettere in prospettiva la tradizionale enfasi degli studi veneziani sul Cinquecento. Di conseguenza, il volume si apre con considerazioni sugli antefatti medievali e quattrocenteschi, p...
Cokoły przechodnie
Interesują mnie ludzie w ruchu: ci przemykający przez górnośląskie pogranicze albo przybysze z daleka, którzy w nie wrośli, albo tacy, którzy choć tu urodzeni, odfrunęli daleko. Wychowani w jednej kulturze, zafascynowani inną, zmieniający wiarę, kraj, język. Aktywni i ambitni, niemarnujący życia. Bohaterowie dynamiczni. Autor Cokoły przechodnie to zbiór biogramów mniej znanych Ślązaków i postaci związanych z tym regionem, żyjących tu i działających na przestrzeni XIX i XX wieku, zapomnianych bądź świadomie wymazanych z kart historii. Jak pisze Piotr Fuglewicz, to dwa tuziny portretów ludzi z górnośląskiego pogranicza ukazane na tle jego skomplikowanych, nier...
