![]() ![]() Author: Roettgen Steffi Publisher: Artemide In questo volume, la grande studiosa tedesca Steffi Roettgen prende in esame - critico e storico artistico - il ritratto di papa Clemente XIII Rezzonico di Anton Raphael Mengs, (Il «più bel quadro forse mai dipinto da Mengs»), oggi in collezione Fondazione Marignoli di Montecorona, a Spoleto. Sin dal Cinquecento il ritratto del papa ricopre un ruolo essenziale ed eccellente nella percezione dell'autorità e dell'onnipresenza del successore di S. Pietro. Tuttora ne danno testimonianza i ritratti della quasi ininterrotta serie della basilica romana di San Paolo fuori le mura, basati su una tradizione iconografica risalente al Medioevo. Il ritratto ufficiale era un atto programmatico sia artistico che politico. Per merito di Raffaello e di Tiziano si affermò nel '500 una tipologia per il ritratto ufficiale del pontefice che rimase valida per tutto il '600 e il '700 in modo tale da renderlo distinguibile da qualsiasi altro ritratto di un dignitario ecclesiastico o profano. Un ruolo decisivo nell'aggiornamento barocco del ritratto pontificio spetta a Diego Velázquez che nel 1650 ha immortalato Innocenzo X Pamphilj in un dipinto di straordinaria bellezza e bravura pittorica. Il famoso Anton Raphael Mengs, il nuovo Raffaello, fu chiamato dopo la metà del Settecento, a fare il ritratto ufficiale di papa Rezzonico, Clemente XIII. € 20,00
Scontato: € 19,00

![]() ![]() Author: Roettgen Steffi, Quattrone Antonio (PHT), Roli Ghigo (PHT), Pedicini Luciano (PHT), Codato Piero (PHT) Publisher: Perseus Distribution Services Italian Frescoes: The Baroque Era, 1600-1800 presents the Italian Baroque period in its full grandeur, from the arrival in Rome of the style of Annibale Carracci and his pupils through the end of the eighteenth century, when after the long predominance of Baroque forms and expressions the pendulum swung back, bringing a brief revival of High Renaissance style. Supplementing Dr. Steffi Roettgen's text are 420 full-color images and 71 black-and-white illustrations and building plans. Of the twenty-two fresco cycles featured, two-thirds are from the secular sphere and the rest from sacred places, contradicting the common notion that Baroque monumental painting is found mainly in cathedrals and other sites of worship. The volume opens with an illustrated introduction outlining the principles of Baroque wall and ceiling painting. An essay introduces each fresco cycle and is followed by a portfolio of full- and double-page color plates, many of them newly photographed. € 129,00

![]() ![]() Author: Roettgen Steffi, Quattrone Antonio (PHT), Stockman Russell (TRN) Publisher: Perseus Distribution Services Certain Italian fresco cycles, notably the Brancacci Chapel in Florence by Masaccio, Masolino, and Filippino Lippi, are well known. Others, such as Piero della Francesca's work in Arezzo and Benozzo Gozzoli's Chapel of the Magi in Florence, have been reproduced countless times. Yet no publisher - until now - has attempted to gather together and document in extensive photographs the essential fresco cycles of the early Italian Renaissance. The list of works covers the regions of Italy, from the Alpine mountain areas to Puglia, with an emphasis on Tuscany and Florence, the artistic center that gave life to the Renaissance. Italian Frescoes: The Early Renaissance, 1400-1470 opens with a concise introductory text discussing various aspects of fifteenth-century fresco painting: artists, patronage, cultural and historical conditions, technical methods, and questions of local tradition. The central section of the book examines twenty-one fresco cycles, each representing a crowning achievement in this field. A descriptive and interpretive essay introduces each cycle and is followed by a series of full-page and double-page color plates - many of them new photography of recently restored frescoes - covering the entire work. € 104,90
