    May 21, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Savant et créateur incomparable, Leonardo était le seul artiste de l'histoire de l'humanité à avoir plongé dans la plus radieuse beauté et à unir la science d'Aristote à l'art de Phidias.

    Leonardo Da Vinci – The Master of Science

    May 15, 2019 / 0 Comments

    The text below is the excerpt of the book Leonardo Da Vinci, written by Eugène Müntz, published by Parkstone International. An alliance between art and science was no new thing in Italy. Minds trained in the incomparable gymnasium of classic education could attack the most various tasks without danger of a check. In such an enterprise the painter of the Last Supper and the sculptor of the Sforza statue could justify himself by the example of many a famous Italian. Brunellesco had been an ardent student of mathematics; Piero della Francesca of geometry; Alberti had composed the Ludi Matematici and invented a way of measuring the depth of the sea…

    May 7, 2019 / 0 Comments

    A profound savant and an incomparable creator, Leonardo was the only artist in the history of mankind who has delved into the most radiant beauty and who has united the science of Aristotle with the art of Phidias.

    Shelley’s Art Musings – Spotlight on Rembrandt

    August 17, 2018 / 0 Comments

    When you look at art throughout the ages, there is nothing quite so extravagant as the late renaissance moving through to the Baroque period. The artwork is indulgent and highly detailed, with every aspect of the frame covered.  Rembrandt was known as a master of this field, producing elaborate self-portraits and depictions of biblical scenes embedded his name in the art world for the ages. Born Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn in 1606, he was the son of a miller and was able to attend a Latin school.  At the age of 14, he began to study at the University of Leiden, but finding academia was not for him, he took…

    Michelangelo, the Head of Leda and a Royal Evildoer

    January 14, 2016 / 0 Comments

    We know Michelangelo (1475-1564) for this and that. We are amazed by the fact that he copied some Martin Schongauer engravings at the age of thirteen. We’ve heard rumors about his homosexuality. And although we’ve always liked Leonardo and his katanas better, we have to admit that the coolest Teenage Mutant Hero Turtle is named after Michelangelo. 452 years after his death, his works are still part of our pop culture. Any more proof needed for the greatness of this man? From January 17, the Phoenix Art Museum shows twenty-six of Michelangelo’s drawings from the collection of the Casa Buonarroti in Florence. Here’s the story of one of them. Michelangelo’s…

    Botticellis Venus – Die Schönheit des Makels

    October 6, 2015 / 0 Comments

    Es gibt Dinge, die man, hat man sie erst einmal bemerkt, nie wieder aus dem Kopf bekommt. Plötzlich schaut man auf das gleiche Gemälde, das man schon seit Jahren und Jahrzehnten kennt, und es ist nicht mehr dasselbe. Sandro Botticellis Gemälde werden oft zitiert, wenn es um die ‚bellezza ideale‘ geht. Dabei ist der florentinische Künstler in Sachen Anatomie nachweislich ein regelrechter Stümper gewesen. Die Proportionen vieler seiner Figuren sind falsch und verzerrt, die Haltungen unnatürlich bis anatomisch unmöglich. Auch seine Venus, personifizierter Zauber des Weiblichen, ist reichlich missgebildet. Sieht man sich den zu langen, krummen Hals, die verrenkte und etwas zu kleine Kopfpartie oder auch die Schultern an, wird…

    Arcimboldo’s Artistic Harvest

    January 23, 2015 / 0 Comments

    I have never imagined, whilst gazing at a bowl of fruit, that its contents could ever resemble anything like a human face. Making a remotely artistic connection between food and painting would take me back first to potato-printing in primary school, advancing perhaps to a somewhat more sophisticated ‘Still life of pear and mug,’ created in my later school years. Giuseppe Arcimboldo saw things differently, which is of course not a huge surprise! Although perhaps his fruity infatuation stemmed from similar beginnings… Arcimboldo, born in 1527, and most famed for his imaginative portrait heads in which he uses various fruit and veg to render his often esteemed subjects, began his…

    Evolution of Holy Art

    January 12, 2015 / 0 Comments

    Exploring the evolution of art that is inspired by the oldest story of time, one that established many age-old Western traditions, does provide an interesting opportunity to see how interpretations of Christ have changed through time. Many a biblical scene has been depicted by artists through the ages, and is done in style that reflects the time and culture from which the interpretation is founded. The expanse of religious art produced in the 14th and 15th centuries, for example, indicates that depicting conventional Christian scenes was in vogue.  This period we now recognise as the Renaissance, did yield some monumental images of Christ in art. Take da Vinci’s Last Supper…

    500 Jahre europäische Kunst

    March 4, 2014 / 1 Comment

    Kunst ist immer als Spiegel ihrer Zeit zu verstehen. Sie reflektiert Bewegungen, bildet Strömungen ab und prägt ganze Epochen. Die gesamte Geistesgeschichte mit all ihren Umbrüchen manifestiert sich in den verschiedensten Ausprägungen der Kunst. In ihr bricht sich aber auch immer wieder das Licht der Kreativität, wodurch Neues geschaffen wird, das wiederum auf reale Ereignisse maßgeblich Einfluss nehmen kann. Jedes Zeitalter hat dabei seine eigenen Stile und Techniken hervorgebracht. Geniale Meister waren zwar immer die Kinder ihrer Zeit, gleichzeitig waren sie aber ihrer Zeit auch weit voraus. Vor allem am Anfang des mehr als fünfhundertjährigen Zeitraums vom Beginn der italienischen Renaissance bis ins frühe 20. Jahrhundert halfen Universalgelehrte wie Leonardo…
