The Cambridge Companion to Piero della Francesca
A great master of the early Renaissance, Piero della Francesca created paintings for ecclesiastics, confraternities, and illustrious nobles throughout the Italian peninsula. Since the early twentieth century, the rational space, abstract designs, lucid illumination and naturalistic details of his pictures have attracted a wide audience. Piero's treatises on mathematics and perspective also fascinate scholars in a wide range of disciplines. This 2002 Companion brings together essays that offer a synthesis and overview of Piero's life and accomplishments as a painter and theoretician. They explore a variety of themes associated with the artist's career, including the historical and religious circumstances surrounding Piero's altarpieces and frescoes; the politics underlying his portraits; the significance of clothing in his paintings; the influence of his theories on perspective and mathematics; and the artist's enduring fascination for modern painters and writers.

A Childhood Memory by Piero Della Francesca

sidottu
Piero della Francesca's Madonna del Parto, a celebrated fifteenth-century Tuscan fresco in which the Virgin gestures to her partially open dress and her pregnant womb, is highly unusual in its iconography. Hubert Damisch undertakes an anthropological and historical analysis of an artwork he constructs as a childhood dream of one of humanity's oldest preoccupations, the mysteries of our origins, of our conception and birth. At once parodying and paying homage to Freud's seminal essay on Leonardo da Vinci, Damisch uses Piero's enigmatic painting to narrate our archaic memories. He shows that we must return to Freud because work in psychoanalysis and art has not solved the problem of what is being analyzed: in the triangle of author, work, and audience, where is the psychoanalytic component located?

The Realism of Piero della Francesca
The fifteenth-century Italian artist Piero della Francesca painted a familiar world. Roads wind through hilly landscapes, run past farms, sheds, barns, and villages. This is the world in which Piero lived. At the same time, Piero’s paintings depict a world that is distant. The subjects of his pictures are often Christian and that means that their setting is the Holy Land, a place Piero had never visited. The Realism of Piero della Francesca studies this paradoxical aspect of Piero’s art. It tells the story of an artist who could think of the local churches, palaces, and landscapes in and around his hometown of Sansepolcro as miraculously built replicas of the monuments of Jerusalem. Piero’s application of perspective, to which he devoted a long treatise, was meant to convince his contemporaries that his paintings report on things that Piero actually observed. Piero’s methodical way of painting seems to have offered no room for his own fantasy. His art looks deliberately styleless. This book uncovers a world in which painting needed to validate itself by cultivating the illusion that it reported on things observed instead of things imagined by the artist. Piero’s painting claimed truth in a world of increasing uncertainties.
The Art and Life of Francesca Alexander

This is the first book to examine the art and life of Boston-born artist Francesca Alexander (1837–1917). Francesca and her parents moved to Florence in 1853 and became part of a thriving international community. She was a largely self-taught artist, and both her art and writing focused on Italians and Italian life. Her portraits and nature studies, and her translations of songs and stories, were much admired by her contemporaries, including John Ruskin, who published three of her manuscripts and promoted her work to his followers. She used her earnings from the sale of these publications, and her art, to fund her many charitable endeavours; both friends and admirers marvelled at her saintly character, which they linked to a romantic view of Italy itself. Nonetheless, in spite of her celebrity on both sides of the Atlantic, she and her work have been largely forgotten. Drawing on her work, as well as other sources including letters, diaries, guidebooks, newspapers and magazines, this book provides a vivid biography of Francesca Alexander, her art, and her place in history.
Auguste Rodins Liebespaare Paolo und Francesca und Der Kuss
Seminararbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich Kunst - Bildhauerei, Skulptur, Plastik, Note: 1,0, Universität Osnabrück (Kunstwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Seminar: Auguste Rodin, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Von Dante bis zum ewigen Frühling. , Abstract: Durch alle Jahrhunderte hindurch sind Liebespaare dargestellt worden. Es gibt keinen großen Künstler, der sich nicht auch mit dem Thema der Liebenden beschäftigt hätte. Das Thema der Zusammengehörigkeit und Zuneigung von zwei Menschen erscheint in der Kunst immer wieder aktuell zu sein. Die Verzauberung durch die sich Liebenden, das Unvorhersehbare, das Geheimnis, welches sich dem Verstand entzieht, ist es, was die Geschichten und Bilder von Liebespaaren gleichermaßen anziehend macht. Die berühmten Paare haben unzählige Namen und Geschichten. Sie bewegen uns, machen uns zu Mithoffenden, Mitleidenden und zu Verteidigern ihrer oftmals vergeblichen Sehnsucht nach Liebe. Paolo und Francesca ist so ein Paar. In der Bildhauerei wurde bis zu Rodin das Liebespaar als Motiv im Abendland nur selten thematisiert. Wann immer ein Künstler eine weibliche und männliche Gestalt zu einer Gruppe einte, dominierten Szenen des Frauenraubes, der Entführung, der gewaltsamen Eroberung oder aber Grabmäler, Abbilder von Verblichenen, die aufgebahrt Seite an Seite ruhten. Bei Auguste Rodin wird das Paar selbst zum Sinnbild und zur Allegorie der Liebe. Von der keuschen Inbrunst bis zur rauschhaften Besinnungslosigkeit der Umarmungen und der Ekstase der Lust ist die Liebe bei Rodin ein sehr großes und umfangreiches Thema. Das Jahrzehnt 1880 - 1890 erlebt die Entstehung mehrerer Arbeiten von Rodin zum Thema Paare. In dieser schriftlichen Ausarbeitung beziehen wir uns auf seine Skulpturen: "Der Kuss", "Fugit Amor" und "Das ewige Idol".
The Temple of Venus and Rome and Santa Francesca Romana at the Roman Forum
This book examines the influence of architectural design in the conservation of historic buildings by discussing in detail an important building complex in Rome: the Temple of Venus and Rome, the monastery of Santa Maria Nova and the church of Santa Francesca Romana. As the most complete site in the Roman Forum that has reached our times with a rich architectural stratification almost intact, it is a clear product of continuous preservation and transformation and it has not been studied in its complexity until now. The Temple of Venus and Rome and Santa Francesca Romana at the Roman Forum unravels the original designs and the subsequent interventions, including Giacomo Boni’s pioneering conservation of the monastery, carried out while excavating the Roman Forum in the early twentieth century. The projects are discussed in context to show their significance and the relationships between architects and patrons. Through its interdisciplinary focus on architectural design, conservation, archaeology, history and construction, this study is an ideal example for scholars, students and architects of how to carry out research in architectural conservation.
The Culture of San Sepolcro during the Youth of Piero della Francesca

The Culture of San Sepolcro during the Youth of Piero della Francesca

The paintings of Piero della Francesca have remained intriguing because of their distinctive three-dimensional space and unemotional figures, but the artist himself remains a mystery. Curiously, his activities were not confined to painting. He wrote treatises on perspective, commercial arithmetic, and geometry, all without ever settling in any of the centers of great intellectual achievement. James R.Banker has unearthed previously undiscovered documents that make it possible for him to write a social biography of the artist that accounts for his early formation. The Culture of San Sepolcro during the Youth of Piero della Francesca examines the culture of the southeastern Tuscan town of Piero's youth. Analyses of San Sepolcro's political and social organization and its specific religious culture serve to enhance our understanding of Piero's early career prior to his experiences in Florence. Piero della Francesca has remained an enigma because of the contradictions observed in his life and art. Banker's archival research has enabled him to clear away some of the obscurities. This book situates Piero in the earliest social and intellectual worlds within which he moved. Heretofore, writers on Piero have begun his putative formation in Florence in 1439. Banker demonstrates that the young painter's formation began prior to 1439, when he was surrounded by his family and the local artisans' community. The Culture of San Sepolcro during the Youth of Piero della Francesca integrates social and art history in order to better understand the formation of a Renaissance artist. It will be vital to scholars and historians of the Italian Renaissance city states, as well as to art historians and those interested in the relationship of art and society. James R. Banker is Professor of History, North Carolina State University.
