Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. This fascinating study captures a unique 'moment' in the life of Renaissance Italy around 1500 up to and specifically 1506 a time of extraordinary artistic creativity. This creativity was stimulated above all by movement and exchange, as artists and artworks travelled the width and length of the peninsula and beyond. The author's highly original uncovering of the networks and the multiple, sometimes novel, means of transmission in the period enables him to take the pulse of this remarkable ferment, which, up to 1506, did not yet know it was to become the High Renaissance. Recognized everywhere as an authority on Renaissance prints, in this new book resulting from years of research David Landau traces the constant movement of art and artists and, often, their families and workshops from one city to another, one court to another, one monastery to another, in search of work, patrons and prestige projects. He examines the impact of these interactions on the people involved, charting the remarkably rapid diffusion of styles, motifs and artistic innovations across Italy's regions and in exchange with other countries. The diverse artworks here considered in a great variety of media, notably portable and/or multiple media such as drawings and prints, gems, plaques or medals, might serve a variety of purposes diplomatic, nuptial, religious, social, amicable revealing a constant curiosity and taste for the novel and 'modern'. The book investigates how valuable objects, both antique and contemporary, were carefully packed and moved overland on Italy's rivers or, where necessary, over treacherous roads and mountainous geography or by sea along its coasts, deftly skirting political turmoil, warring states and recurrent plagues. Drawing entirely on contemporaneous documents such as records of costs, commissions and fees, bills of lading, municipal archives, travellers' accounts and artists' own letters, the author vividly brings back to life the extraordinary fervour of that time as well as the obstacles, rivalries, trials and triumphs of being an artist or craftsman in the Renaissance. The patrons' side is also portrayed, with a chapter on the activity of Isabella d'Este through the year 1506 and another on Durer's letters home from Venice in that year to his main friend and supporter, for whom he had to shop. We are thus taken with remarkable detail into the lives of itinerant artists, from the very famous, like Michelangelo, to the lesser known ones always worried about the next commission. The book recounts the adventures of the likes of Pinturicchio, Sodoma and Signorelli, and many almost unknown figures, and a full variety of small, now frequently neglected, objects of many kinds that transmitted the newest ideas and styles. The result is a unique and compelling analysis of artists, patrons and their milieux at a pivotal moment in Renaissance art, as if vividly recounted by a contemporary chronicler. Published by Paul Holberton Publishing This fascinating study captures a unique 'moment' in the life of Renaissance Italy around 1500 - up to and specifically 1506 - a time of extraordinary artistic creativity.
