Nobili a Mantova tra Antico Regime e Restaurazione: la famiglia dei conti Francesco Alberto d'Arco e Amalia Sanvitale / Nobles in Mantua between the Ancien Régime and the Congress of Vienna: the Family of count Francesco Alberto D'Arcy And his Countess Amalia Sanvitale

AZZI, NICOLETTA 10 March 2008 (has links)
La ricerca ha messo a tema i diversi aspetti della vita privata e pubblica di una famiglia nobiliare a Mantova nel passaggio dall’Antico Regime alla Restaurazione, indagata in quanto rappresentativa del ceto nobiliare di appartenenza: la famiglia di Francesco Alberto d’Arco e Amalia Sanvitale. Di provincia ma non provinciale, la famiglia d’Arco è stata letta nelle sue varie scelte, come, ad esempio, l’educazione dei figli, i collegi frequentati, le strategie di carriera individuate per i figli maschi o l’assegnazione delle doti e la scelta delle alleanze per i matrimoni delle figlie femmine. Tale lettura è stata resa possibile dalla disponibilità dei carteggi conservati nell’archivio della Fondazione d’Arco, fonte che è stata messa a confronto con la coeva documentazione di tipo istituzionale. Dimensione privata e dimensione pubblica hanno trovato un punto di incontro nella lettura di questi carteggi, che con il loro carattere ibrido, a metà tra la “scrittura di sé” e la trascrizione di notizie, bene si prestano all’incrocio di fonti diverse e apparentemente lontane. / The aim of the research is to examine the diverse aspects of the public and private life of a noble family in Mantua in the transition from the Ancien Régime to the period after the Congress of Vienna. The d’Arco were chosen because they were representative of the noble class they belonged to and of the forms of aristocratic life style. From the province but by no means provincial, the d’Arco family has been studied in its various choices, as, for example, the education of its children and the colleges they attended, the strategies employed for the careers of its sons or the dowries and the choice of marriage alliances made for the daughters. Such study has been made possible by access to a privileged source - the family papers and correspondence preserved in the archives of the D’Arco Foundation. A source which was then critically compared with the contemporary institutional documentation. The private and public dimensions meet in the reading of these papers, which with their hybrid character, half way between “writing of oneself” and the transcription of news, lend themselves perfectly to a cross-match between sources that are diverse and apparently distant.

CULTURA LETTERARIA INTORNO A FEDERICO GONZAGA, PRIMO DUCA DIMANTOVA / LITERARY CULTURE AROUND FEDERICO GONZAGA, FIRST DUKE OF MANTUA.

BARBIERI, NICOLETTA ILARIA 15 April 2013 (has links)
Tra il XIX ed il XX secolo, sono stati effettuati diversi studi riguardo al patronato letterario di Isabella d’Este e al mecenatismo praticato verso gli artisti da suo figlio, Federico II Gonzaga, primo duca di Mantova. Una nuova prospettiva di ricerca induce oggi a indagare il ruolo di Federico II come committente letterario, distinto dalla Marchesana Isabella, e i suoi interessi letterari. Vari autori, più o meno celebri, risultano avere avuto relazioni con Federico II Gonzaga, in quanto o gli hanno dedicato le loro opere o lo hanno citato in esse oppure perché è stato loro richiesto di comporre testi dal duca stesso. Molti di questi lavori sono registrati nell’inventario di Federico II, che ci dà alcune idee circa le sue preferenze, rivolte soprattutto alle opere astrologiche e ai testi cavallereschi, e circa le sue relazioni letterarie. Gli scrittori legati a Federico II hanno spesso cercato di procurare vantaggi tramite l’attività letteraria a se stessi e al loro mecenate. Si può ritenere che Federico II fosse inserito in una più ampia rete di relazioni letterarie sviluppatesi intorno alla corte di Mantova e che abbia impiegato la propria cultura letteraria e le opere letterarie come uno strumento di potere. / Between the 19th and the 20th century several studies were carried out with regard to the literary patronage of Isabella d’Este and in connection with the maecenatism practiced towards artists by her son Federico II Gonzaga, first Duke of Mantua. Nowadays, a new perspective of research induces to investigate the role of Federico II as literary client, separated from the Marchesana Isabella, as well as his literary interests. Various more or less famous authors have been found to have had some relationships with Federico II Gonzaga, either because they mentioned him in their works and dedicated them to him, or because they were requested to compose texts by the duke himself. Many of these works are registered in Federico II’s inventory, which gives us some ideas about his literary preferences, particularly directed to astrological works and chivalric texts, and his literary relationships. The writers linked to Federico II often tried to obtain some advantages for themselves and their patron through their literary activity. It can also be maintained that there was a wider network of literary relationship around the court of Mantua, and that Federico II used his literary culture and the literary works as a tool of power.

La scultura trecentesca in marmo nella Lombardia orientale. Una ricognizione nelle province di Brescia, Mantova e Cremona

Gorio, Gigliola 26 January 2022 (has links)
The project aims to develop a corpus of the 14th century marble sculptures in Brescia, Mantua and Cremona. After mapping the materials localized in these territories, which was made possible thanks to the inventories of the respective Superintendencies and Dioceses, as well as the bibliography, it was possible to collect a large number of testimonies. The resulting archival investigation allowed to refine the research on the history of the pieces, to update and correct the data already reported in bibliography and to investigate unpublished works. From a methodological point of view it was considered appropriate to proceed with the stylistic analysis of the sculptures in parallel with the identification of contexts, origins, authors, models and influences. This made it possible to identify and deepen a critical chapter, the history of Gothic sculpture in this part of Lombardy, which until a few decades ago was rather neglected by studies. The development of a catalog, divided into territorial sections, aims to be an easy reference tool for scholars of Italian sculpture. Several unpublished works have emerged in Brescia and in its province. Some hypotheses have been advanced about the path of the sculptor Delaido da Lodi, active in 1301 in Gargnano, and about the artworks in and from Brescia realized by the Master of Sant’Anastasia. The Mantua area, which returned the most significant results, was analyzed from the beginning of the fourteenth century to the eve of the dalle Masegne season. During this period of time, various artists, mainly from Venice, were active in the city. Among them, the sculptor Andrea da San Felice, the anonymous artist baptized here with the name of "Maestro di Piero Maser" and Antonio da Mestre. Some of the sculptures collected can be related to Lombard artists such as the "Maestro di Viboldone", to whom a new sculpture is attributed, and Guido Frisoni, an artist mentioned in some documents preserved in the State Archive of Mantua, to whom it is now possible to trace the "Madonna with Child" in Grazie di Curtatone, thanks to the interpretation of the epigraph placed at the base. The Cremona area closes the catalogue, which stands out for the quality of the surviving works, at the expense of quantity. The famous reliefs preserved in the church of San Bassiano in Pizzighettone are exemplary of the formal refinement of the survivals of this territory. / Il progetto si è posto l'obiettivo di elaborare un corpus delle sculture del XIV secolo in marmo conservate nelle province di Brescia, Mantova e Cremona. Grazie all’iniziale mappatura dei materiali nei singoli territori, realizzata passando in rassegna gli inventari delle rispettive Soprintendenze e Diocesi, oltre alla bibliografia, è stato possibile raccogliere un cospicuo numero di testimonianze. La conseguente indagine archivistica ha consentito di perfezionare le ricerche sulla storia conservativa dei singoli pezzi, di aggiornare e correggere i dati già segnalati in bibliografia e di indagare sugli inediti. A ciò si è aggiunta l’analisi stilistica delle sculture, che è avvenuta parallelamente all’individuazione di contesti, provenienze, autori, modelli ed influenze. Ciò ha permesso di individuare e fare il punto su un capitolo critico, la storia della scultura gotica in questi territori della Lombardia, che fino a pochi decenni fa era poco frequentato dagli studi. Numerosi sono, inoltre, gli spunti di ricerca emersi per il futuro. Per questo motivo è stato elaborato un catalogo, che ha l’obiettivo di essere uno strumento di agile consultazione per gli studiosi di scultura italiana. Sono emerse diverse opere inedite nel bresciano, su cui si è cercato di far luce. Alcune ipotesi sono state avanzate circa il percorso dello scultore Delaido da Lodi, attivo nel 1301 a Gargnano, e riguardo alle testimonianze bresciane del Maestro di Sant’Anastasia. Il territorio mantovano, che ha restituito i risultati più significativi, è stato analizzato dagli esordi del Trecento fino alla vigilia della stagione dei dalle Masegne. Durante questo lasso di tempo furono attivi in città diversi artisti, principalmente provenienti da Venezia, su cui ora è possibile ragionare. Tra essi emergono lo scultore Andrea da San Felice, l'anonimo artista battezzato in questa sede con il nome di "Maestro di Piero Maser" e Antonio da Mestre. Di origine lombarda furono invece il Maestro delle sculture di Viboldone, a cui in questa sede è attribuita una nuova opera, e Guido Frisoni da Como, artista citato in alcuni documenti conservati a Mantova, in Archivio di Stato, a cui è ora possibile ricondurre la 'Madonna con Bambino' di Grazie di Curtatone grazie all'interpretazione dell'epigrafe posta alla base dell'opera. Chiude il lavoro il territorio di Cremona, che si distingue per la qualità delle opere superstiti, a discapito della quantità. Esemplificativi della ricercatezza formale delle sopravvivenze di questo territorio sono i celebri rilievi che si conservano nella chiesa di San Bassiano a Pizzighettone.

Okruh architektů Albrechta z Valdštejna a počátky raného baroka v Čechách / The Circle of Architects of Albrecht of Wallenstein in Early Baroque Period

Líčeníková, Michaela January 2013 (has links)
The Circle of architects of Albrecht of Wallenstein in early Baroque period. The first rare indications of early Baroque productions/ creations are appearing already in second decade of 17th century, mainly in the work of imperial architect Giovanni Mario Filippi. We can consider his work as a first stage of the architectonical production which was implemented for the one of the most important personality of the Thirty Year War - the duke Albrecht of Walenstein. The circle of Walenstein architects was created by three distinctive representatives, those proved successfully individually but also as a team working above the joint projects. They were able to fulfill the Wallenstein magnificent intentions. These architects were Andrea Spezza, Giovanni Pieroni and Nicola Sebregondi. These three Italians architects and builders were leading figures of the mentioned circle of which part were also Vincenzo Bocacci, Baccio Bianco and Giovanni Marini. Their activities is possible to trace on our territory in the period 1621-1634 except Giovanni Pieroni, who was focused after the duke death to the projects of fortification systems, mainly in Bohemia. Studies showed that the origin of architects, including the places where they have been raised and received the first training, was always important and influenced their...

Taken from life

Kornmeier, Uta 12 October 2006 (has links)
Wachsfigurenkabinette waren nicht immer die billigen Sensationsmaschinen, als die sie heute verstanden werden. Vor der Erfindung und Verbreitung von Photographie und illustrierten Zeitschriften waren sie Bildmedien, die der Vermittlung von visuellen Informationen dienten. Kein anderes Medium konnte die Protagonisten der Weltgeschichte so unmittelbar darstellen wie die Sammlungen lebensgroßer Wachsfiguren. Das Material Wachs trug wesentlich zu ihrem Erfolg bei, denn es ermöglichte die täuschend echten und bis dahin realistischsten Darstellungen von bekannten Persönlichkeiten. Die Operationsweise dieses Mediums wird am Beispiel von Madame Tussauds Wachsfigurenkabinett genauer untersucht. Dazu wurde, soweit möglich, die Reiseroute, der Aufbau und die “Besetzung” der Ausstellung rekonstruiert, sowie die soziale Herkunft der Besucher in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jh.s ermittelt. Es wird deutlich, daß Marie Tussaud eine talentierte Portraitkünstlerin und ambitionierte Schaustellerin war, deren sorgfältig gestaltete Ausstellung vor allem Besucher der aufstrebenden Mittelschicht mit Interesse an Menschenkenntnis anzog. Das Wachsfigurenkabinett fiel damit in die Kategorie der “nützliche Unterhaltung”, die der Wissens- und Charakterbildung diente. Madame Tussaud ist vielleicht die bekannteste Betreiberin eines Wachsfigurenkabinetts – keinesfalls aber die erste. Die Geschichte der kommerziellen Ausstellung lebensgroßer Wachsfiguren reicht ins beginnende 17. Jh. zurück, wobei sich das Konzept der Kabinette im Laufe der Jahrhunderte stark gewandelt hat. In dieser Arbeit werden drei Ausstellungsformen unterschieden: a) das barocke Figurengruppen-Kabinett, das programmatische oder allegorische Geschichten erzählt, b) die aufklärerische Portraitgalerie (wie z.B. Madame Tussauds), in der Persönlichkeiten als charakteristische Individuen vorgestellt werden, c) das moderne Tableau-Kabinett, wo alltägliche oder außergewöhnliche Ereignisse auf bis dahin unübertroffen realistische Weise wiedergegeben werden. Als Nachrichtenkanal und als Medium für realistische Wirklichkeitswiedergabe sind Wachsfigurenkabinette seit den 1920er Jahren überholt. Als Spiel mit der menschlichen Sinneswahrnehmung bleiben sie jedoch vorerst aktuell. / Waxworks were not always the cheap sensation spinners as which we perceive them today. Before the invention and wide-spread use of photography and illustrated magazines they were an important medium for distributing visual information. No other form of communication could offer such immediate representations the protagonists of world history. Perhaps the greatest part in their success took the material wax which allowed the creation of deceptively lifelike and hitherto most realistic depictions of celebrated individuals. In this thesis, Madame Tussaud’s serves as a prime example for examining the mode of operation of a waxwork exhibition. As far as the sources allow, the itinerary, the ‘cast’ and display of the exhibition is reconstructed, as well as the number and the social background of its visitors during the first half of the 19th century. It emerges that Marie Tussaud was a talented portrait artist and a show woman of ambition whose carefully constructed exhibition attracted mainly middle-class visitors with an interest in human classification. Thus, the waxworks was a ‘rational entertainment’ that was thought to further the development of knowledge and character in its visitors. While Madame Tussaud’s was perhaps the most famous waxworks, it was not the first one. The history of commercial exhibition of life-sized wax figures goes back to the 17th century. Their concept, however, changed significantly over the centuries. Three forms of waxworks are differentiated here: a) the baroque waxworks of groups of figures narrating programmatic and allegorical stories, b) the enlightened portrait gallery – such as Madame Tussaud’s – where celebrities are presented as individual characters, c) the modern tableau waxworks, that represents extraordinary as well as everyday events in a realistic way that was hitherto unprecedented. As a channel for the distribution of news and as a medium for representing reality waxworks have become outdated. As a tickle for the senses, however, they will yet remain effective.
