Lorenzo de' Medici a komicko-realistická poezie / Lorenzo de' Medici and the Comic-realistic Poetry

Večeřová, Dobromila January 2017 (has links)
This thesis discusses Lorenzo de' Medici's era and literary work. In the first part, Lorenzo's personage is introduced and put into historical and cultural context. Given its importance for social changes, a separate chapter is dedicated to humanism and its eminent personalities. Neoplatonism and Lorenzo's patronage and cultural activities are also mentioned. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to Lorenzo de' Medici's own literary work, paying particular attention to his comical poems inspired by rustic life, especially some of his carnival chants (canti carnascialechi) and the poem Nencia da Barberino, which are then analyzed. In the conclusion, this study briefly deals with the controversy caused by the connection between Lorenzo's poetry and his government. Keywords: Lorenzo de' Medici, humanism, Neoplatonism, volgare, patronage, comical and realistic poetry, carnival chants.

Otázka sporných přípisů děl Francesca Squarcione / Issues of questionable attributions of works by Francesco Squarcione

Třešňáková, Alena January 2012 (has links)
of the Thesis Bc. Alena Třešňáková 2011 Abstract The thesis in the theme: Issues of questionable attributions of works by Francesco Squarcione The first part of the thesis provides a summary of information about Francesco Squarcione. He is known to have first been a tailor, then an artist (from 1429) and collector of antiquities, an innovative activity in his time, and finally, an entrepreneur who influenced young artists in Padua from the 1430s to 1460s. Squarcione founded (1431) the earliest known private art-school. He educated 137 pupils who had trained or learned through the copying of antiquities in Squarcione's collection. Only two works made by him have come down to us from his artistic era; the De Lazzara polyptych in the Museo Civico in Padova (1449−1452) and the Virgin and Child in Staatliche Museen in Berlin (around 1455). The second part of this work deals with the other works that have been attributed to him over the next centuries. There is a compiled catalog of these works of art. In each of the entry are summarized important opinions about authorship of the work and on the end of which I presented my own opinion. It is difficult to confidently attributed these works to the Master Francesco Squarcione, since on the commissions often collaborated his pupils, who created in his style...

Dans l’antre des nymphes : études sur les rapports entre la pensée magique de Marsile Ficin et les premières théories de l’art à Florence au XVe siècle / In the cave of the nymphs : studies on the links between Marsilio Ficino's magic thought and art theory in fifteenth-century Florence

Debenedetti, Ana 10 January 2015 (has links)
Au XVe siècle, le philosophe florentin Marsile Ficin (1433-1499) rédige un texte singulier intitulé De vita coelitus comparanda ou « comment obtenir la vie du ciel » qui deviendra le troisième et dernier livre d’un ouvrage médical de plus large envergure, le De vita libri tres, consacré à conserver et à prolonger la santé des hommes de lettres accablés sous le poids de l’étude. Ce texte est tout entier consacré au pouvoir apotropaïque et prophylactique du talisman ou « image astrologique », une notion savante qui apparaît en Occident au milieu du XIIIe siècle, et insiste tout particulièrement sur la matérialité, la forme et l’apparence de ces images. Ainsi Ficin développe-t-il un discours original par rapport à la tradition en se concentrant sur le processus de fabrication, discours qui n’est pas sans rappeler les premières théories de l’art qui apparaissent à la même époque à Florence. Ficin réhabilite la figure du mage antique dans le cadre d’une réflexion plus vaste qui met en exergue le pouvoir créateur de l’homme en tant que savant, humaniste et philosophe. Si le postulat d’une influence tardive du néoplatonisme ficinien sur la littérature artistique du XVIe siècle a donné lieu à de nombreuses études, il apparaît en revanche que les rapports que Ficin était susceptible d’entretenir avec le monde des artistes, et surtout des artistes-théoriciens du XVe siècle, demeure un terrain relativement peu exploré. Tout l’enjeu de notre travail se situe donc dans la triple interrogation que ce concours de circonstances soulève : quel rôle jouent au sein de la pensée magique de Ficin les allusions à l’art et à sa pratique qui traversent l'ensemble de son œuvre? dans quelle mesure la notion d’«image astrologique» qu’il reprend et développe s’est-elle nourrie de la nouvelle littérature artistique alors en pleine formation? et enfin, comment peut-on affirmer que certaines œuvres typiques du Quattrocento florentin relèvent d’un caractère « mixte » oscillant entre le produit de l’art à proprement parler et l’objet magique? / In fifteenth-century Florence, the philosopher Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) wrote the De vita coelitus comparanda, i.e. “how to capture life from the heavens”, which would later form the last and third book of a larger volume titled De vita libri tres. The latter exposes the means to preserve the health and extend the life of man of letters afflicted by their intense studies. The former deals with the apotropaic and prophylactic power of the talismans also called “astrological images”, following a learned concept which appeared in Western Europe in the mid-thirteenth century, and focuses on the materiality, form and appearance of these images. Ficino hence develops a new reflexion that focuses on the process of making which seems to echo new artistic theories devised during the same period in Florence. Ficino redeems the figure of the ancient magus by enhancing man’s creative power and his status as a philosopher and a humanist. The assumption of a late influence of Ficino’s neoplatonic thought on the arts in the sixteenth century has led to several studies but its genesis and its potential links with the artistic world and, especially his fellows artist-theoreticians, remained to be fully investigated. This thesis aims therefore to investigate the role of the artistic references within Ficino’s magic thought, the influence of contemporary ideas on the art practice upon his conception of “astrological image”, and the nature of specific artworks typical of fifteenth-century Florence, which seem to respond to both a magical and an artistic purpose.

Inverse Operations: Sinful Lust and Salvific Virginity in Central Italian Imagery of the Second Eve

January 2015 (has links)
abstract: Eighteen late medieval central Italian paintings featuring the figure of Eve reclining on the ground beneath the enthroned Virgin have been the center of a decades-long debate among scholars. The dispute centers on whether the imagery depicts Mary as Eve's counterpart in the role of virgin mother or intercessor as the Second Eve. I argue that these two possibilities are not mutually exclusive and instead support one another. I maintain that Eve and Mary appear as opposites according to their contrasting sexual statuses because their antithesis lies at the center of the theology of the Second Eve and the heart of the signification of these paintings. Though frequently overlooked, my exploration of this imagery begins with the attributes used to identify Eve: the woman-headed serpent, the fig, and clothing. Specifically, I analyze the relationship between the particular attributes employed and the theological interpretation of the Fall as a result of concupiscent sexual intercourse. My study then turns to the individual imagery of the central figure of Mary and its reference to church teachings. Appearing amidst allusions to the Annunciation and with emblems of her roles as mother and queen, the Marian imagery in these eighteen paintings specifically reiterates the dogma of her perpetual virginity. I conclude my investigation with a discussion of how the attributes and imagery examined in the first two chapters relate to the theology of the Second Eve and provide a fundamental meaning for all medieval audiences. In light of the references to these women's sexual statuses, the imagery of the Second Eve suggests that Mary is the special advocate of men and women, religious and lay. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Art History 2015

La figura humana voladora en la Edad Moderna. Expresión de su movimiento en la plástica italiana

Peris Medina, Mercedes Consuelo 25 January 2016 (has links)
[EN] The flight of the flying human figure must be situated, because of its abundance and dynamic particularities, in the art of the Modern Age, especially in the Italian art. In a context in which modern physics are calling into question the validity of the previous Aristotelian theories, and flying machines (which have a fantastic aspect in the literature) are invented, visual art develops a flight free from all the earthly obstacles that prevent the man from elevating. In this work we have inquired about the configuration of the flying human figure in the visual depiction (mainly Italian) from the XV century until the first half of the XVIII century, about the process of creation that allows to picture this movement which does not exist in external reality, about the visual resources involved in its expression, and about how the expression of flight evolves along this period. The flight of the aerial figures is an invention, in real life there is no actual reference of this kind of movement. In spite of its connection to flight, floatation, and weightlessness, it is not fully identifiable with neither of these dynamic phenomena. The mobile possibilities that flying figures exhibit support the idea that this kind of movement is detached from the everyday action of human beings: total freedom of trajectories which contradicts physical reality, elasticity and flexibility, constant movement, and changes in the nature and substance; moreover, it is a movement that appears to occur in a specific space-time. Its dynamism is attractive because of its visual character and also because of the ideas it conveys, which reveal a connection with the ideas in angelology and classic mythology. In the expression of flight within each artistic style, the taste and interests of the time are manifested. During the Quattrocento the change takes place, and the most significant features that are developed later appear in that moment. The presence of flying figures becomes progressively more abundant, mainly with the depictions of putti and cherubim. Also, from the XVI century onwards, the symbolism of flight as an approach to the spiritual world and physical emancipation becomes settled. In the final stage of this period, during the Rococo, flight becomes less abundant, and the visual complexity it had reached in previous stages is simplified and becomes subtler. The creative process to represent flight is based on intuition as a generator of internal and sensory experiences, visual memory and invention; from all these we find, under different terminologies, evidence in the texts of the Modern Age. Moreover, the use of visual information from different real actions (both in moving and static objects) and its transformation reveals itself in numerous pieces, especially in sketches. The dynamic resources of the artistic language are used to transmit the mobile characteristic of flying figures, mainly by stressing its dynamism, and prolonging the art work observation time. In ceiling pictures, these resources concentrate in the expressive use of the space of representation, and, frequently, in generating the sensation that the flying figures are part of the material reality of the spectator, merging the real and the fantasy world through both the symbolism and the material elements involved. The floating figure of the human figure cannot be dissociated from the Italian cultural context in the Modern Age, and to a great extent our knowledge of flight is defined by the art works coming from this period. / [ES] El vuelo de la figura humana se localiza, por sus particularidades dinámicas y abundancia, en el arte de la Edad Moderna, especialmente en el arte italiano. En un contexto en el que la Física cuestiona las teorías aristotélicas y se inventan máquinas voladoras (que tienen una faceta fantástica en la literatura), el arte plástico desarrolla un vuelo libre de todos los obstáculos terrenales que impiden al hombre elevarse. En este trabajo nos preguntamos cómo ha sido configurado el vuelo de la figura humana en la plástica (principalmente la italiana) desde el siglo XV hasta la mitad del siglo XVIII, cuál es el proceso de creación que permite dar imagen a este movimiento que no existe en la realidad externa, qué recursos plásticos participan en su expresión y cómo evoluciona la expresión del vuelo a lo largo de este periodo. El vuelo de la figura humana es una invención, en la vida material no existe un referente real de este movimiento. A pesar de su conexión con el vuelo, la flotación y la ingravidez, no es identificable plenamente con ninguno de estos fenómenos dinámicos. Las posibilidades móviles que exhiben las figuras voladoras apoyan la idea de que su movimiento está alejado de las acciones cotidianas del ser humano: libertad total de trayectorias que contradice la realidad física, elasticidad y flexibilidad, movimiento constante y cambios en la naturaleza de su sustancia; además, se trata de un movimiento que parece transcurrir en un espacio-tiempo también específico. Su dinamismo es atractivo por su visualidad y también por las ideas que transmite, las cuales manifiestan una conexión con ideas de la angelología y de la mitología clásica. En la expresión del vuelo de cada estilo artístico se manifiestan los gustos e intereses del momento. En el Quattrocento tiene lugar el momento de cambio y surgen las características más significativas, que posteriormente se desarrollan. La presencia de figuras voladoras es progresivamente más abundante, sobre todo las representaciones de putti y querubines. Asimismo, desde el siglo XVI se consolida el simbolismo del vuelo como acercamiento al mundo espiritual y a la liberación física. En la fase final de este periodo, durante el Rococó, el vuelo es menos abundante, y la complejidad visual que había alcanzado se simplifica y serena. El proceso creativo para representar el vuelo se basa en la intuición como generadora de experiencias internas y sensoriales, la memoria visual y la invención; de todo ello encontramos, bajo otros términos, evidencias en los textos de la Edad Moderna. Además, el uso de información visual a partir de diversas acciones reales (tanto con modelos en movimiento como estáticos) y su transformación se trasluce en numerosas obras, especialmente en dibujos preparatorios. Los recursos dinámicos del lenguaje plástico se orientan a transmitir las características móviles de las figuras voladoras, principalmente acentuando su dinamismo y prolongando el tiempo de observación de la obra. En las pinturas cenitales, estos recursos se centran en el uso expresivo del espacio de representación, y con frecuencia, en generar la sensación de que las figuras voladoras forman parte de la realidad material del espectador, fusionando el mundo real y el de la fantasía, tanto a través del simbolismo como de la materia. El movimiento flotante de la figura humana no puede desligarse del contexto cultural italiano de la Edad Moderna, y en gran medida nuestro conocimiento del vuelo está definido por las representaciones de esta época. / [CAT] El vol de la figura humana es localitza, per les seues particularitats dinàmiques i abundància, en l'art de l'Edat Moderna, especialment en l'art italià. En un context en el qual la Física qüestiona les teories aristotèliques i s'inventen màquines voladores (que tenen una faceta fantàstica en la literatura), l'art plàstic desenvolupa un vol lliure de tots els obstacles terrenals que impedeixen a l'home elevar-se. En aquest treball ens preguntem com ha sigut configurat el vol de la figura humana en la plàstica (principalment la italiana) des del segle XV fins a la meitat del segle XVIII, quin és el procés de creació que permet donar imatge a aquest moviment que no existeix en la realitat externa, quins recursos plàstics participen en la seua expressió i com evoluciona l'expressió del vol al llarg d'aquest període. El vol de la figura humana és una invenció, en la vida material no existeix un referent real d'aquest moviment. Malgrat la seua connexió amb el vol, la flotació i la ingravitació, no és identificable plenament amb cap d'aquests fenòmens dinàmics. Les possibilitats mòbils que exhibeixen les figures voladores recolzen la idea que el seu moviment està allunyat de les accions quotidianes de l'ésser humà: llibertat total de trajectòries que contradiu la realitat física, elasticitat i flexibilitat, moviment constant i canvis en la naturalesa de la seua substància; a més, es tracta d'un moviment que sembla transcórrer en un espai-temps també específic. El seu dinamisme és atractiu per la seua visualitat i també per les idees que transmet, les quals manifesten una connexió amb idees de la angelologia i de la mitologia clàssica. En l'expressió del vol de cada estil artístic es manifesten els gustos i interessos del moment. En el Quattrocento té lloc el moment de canvi i sorgeixen les característiques més significatives, que posteriorment es desenvolupen. La presència de figures voladores és progressivament més abundant, sobretot les representacions de putti i querubins. Així mateix, des del segle XVI es consolida el simbolisme del vol com a acostament al món espiritual i a l'alliberament físic. En la fase final d'aquest període, durant el Rococó, el vol és menys abundant, i la complexitat visual que havia aconseguit se simplifica i serena. El procés creatiu per a representar el vol es basa en la intuïció com a generadora d'experiències internes i sensorials, la memòria visual i la invenció; de tot açò trobem, sota altres termes, evidències en els textos de l'Edat Moderna. A més, l'ús d'informació visual a partir de diverses accions reals (tant amb models en moviment com a estàtics) i la seua transformació es reconeix en nombroses obres, especialment en dibuixos preparatoris. Els recursos dinàmics del llenguatge plàstic s'orienten a transmetre les característiques mòbils de les figures voladores, principalment accentuant el seu dinamisme i perllongant el temps d'observació de l'obra. En les pintures zenitals, aquests recursos se centren en l'ús expressiu de l'espai de representació, i amb freqüència, a generar la sensació de que les figures voladores formen part de la realitat material de l'espectador, fusionant el món real i el de la fantasia, tant a través del simbolisme com de la matèria. El moviment flotant de la figura humana no pot deslligar-se del context cultural italià de l'Edat Moderna, i en gran manera el nostre coneixement del vol està definit per les representacions d'aquesta època. / Peris Medina, MC.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Maria Veronica Perez Fallabrino.pdf: 4945750 bytes, checksum: 4dd6a5a03be64ae7b2b2fb749f02950c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-03-02 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the celebration of marriage among the high society of Quattrocento Florence, aiming to understand, under a cultural perspective, how marriage was conceived and practiced within the scope of the social relations and the interests of this group. Based upon literary works and personal sources (letters and familiar diaries), we study the matrimonial practices of the rich families of Fifteenth century considering the interest of these families to establish social bonds in order to reinforce the hierarchy and status they held within the society. Thus, based on the ideals spread by humanist literature and experiences recorded by the Florentines themselves, we try to perceive how marriage agreements were established: measuring familiar strategies; the importance of the bonds created from the marriage; the course of the negotiations between the families; the people doing them; and the material, social and moral values that were considered. Once established the several reasons that defined marriages among the high society, we finally focused on the different stages of the marriage process to understand how these moments were celebrated and the meaning and ritual importance of each one of them / O propósito desta dissertação é analisar a celebração do matrimônio na alta sociedade da Florença do Quattrocento, buscando compreender, sob o viés cultural, a forma como o matrimônio era concebido e praticado no âmbito das relações sociais e dos interesses desse grupo. Com base em obras literárias e fontes de caráter pessoal (cartas e diários familiares), estudamos as práticas matrimoniais das ricas famílias do século XV considerando o interesse dessas famílias em estabelecer vínculos sociais para reforçar a hierarquia e posição que ocupavam na sociedade. Assim, fundamentados nos ideais difundidos na literatura humanista e nas experiências registradas pelos próprios florentinos, buscamos perceber de que modo os acordos matrimoniais eram definidos: avaliando as estratégias familiares, a importância dos vínculos criados a partir do casamento, o transcurso das tratativas entre as famílias, as pessoas envolvidas nas negociações e os valores materiais, sociais e morais que eram ponderados. Finalmente, após estabelecer os diversos motivos que definiam os matrimônios na alta sociedade, nos centramos nas diferentes etapas do processo matrimonial, para entender como esses momentos eram celebrados e qual era o significado e a importância ritual de cada um deles
