Capolavori Della Pittura Veneziana Del Settecento Dalle Collezioni Dell'Accademia Carrara Di Bergamo
Il museo di Waldemarsudde a Stoccolma ospita nell'anno delle celebrazioni dei 150 anni dell'Unità d'Italia una preziosa selezione dalle raccolte d'arte dell'Accademia Carrara di Bergamo, pinacoteca tra le più raffinate d'Europa, frutto della passione del collezionismo privato della città. Ai segnali di decadenza politica ed economica della Repubblica Veneta, la pittura rispose nel Settecento con un periodo di eccezionale splendore. L'indimenticabile scenografia dello spazio urbano che si affacciava in laguna diveniva il soggetto preferito di capaci e sensibili artisti (Canaletto, Guardi) che con le loro vedute esportarono il mito di Venezia nel mondo. I pittori della terraferma eccellevano contemporaneamente nel genere del ritratto, che si caratterizzava per il forte sentimento di realtà che guidava i suoi artefici (Fra' Galgario, Ceruti). Venezia espresse nel Settecento una vitalità culturale capace di conquistare l'immaginario europeo e la sua pittura la rese visibile. Il volume accoglie un saggio della curatrice e le schede relative alle opere.

Botticelli Past and Present
The recent exhibitions dedicated to Botticelli around the world show, more than ever, the significant and continued debate about the artist. Botticelli Past and Present engages with this debate. The book comprises four thematic parts, spanning four centuries of Botticelli’s artistic fame and reception from the fifteenth century. Each part comprises a number of essays and includes a short introduction which positions them within the wider scholarly literature on Botticelli. The parts are organised chronologically beginning with discussion of the artist and his working practice in his own time, moving onto the progressive rediscovery of his work from the late eighteenth to the turn of the twentieth century, through to his enduring impact on contemporary art and design. Expertly written by researchers and eminent art historians and richly illustrated throughout, the broad range of essays in this book make a valuable contribution to Botticelli studies.
Sofonisba's Lesson
"Within a span of seven or eight years in the 1550s, the Italian painter Sofonisba Anguissola produced more self-portraits than any known painter before her had in a lifetime. She was the first known artist in history to take her parents and siblings as primary subject matter, and may have painted the first group portrait featuring only women. Cole examines Sofonisba's paintings as expressions of her relationships and networks, looking at why Sofonisba was able to become a great woman artist: at her father, who decided to allow her to be educated as a painter; at her teacher, Bernardino Campi; and at her relationships with her students, sisters, and patrons, who included the Queen of Spain. Cole demonstrates that Sofonisba made teaching and education a central theme of her painting. The book also provides the first complete catalogue of all of Sofonisba's known works"--
El Greco
A visually stunning examination of El Greco’s work that considers the artist’s constant reinvention and professional drive Renowned for a singular artistic vision, Domenikos Theotokopoulos, known as El Greco (1541–1614), developed his distinctive painting style as he assiduously pursued professional success. This fresh and engaging survey of El Greco’s work explores varied aspects of the artist’s career—his aesthetic education in Italy, the mixed reception of his mature works in Spain, his uncompromising approach to business, and the baroque logistics of his Toledo workshop—and reveals the depth of El Greco’s astounding ambition. The impressive volume focuses in particular on...
