    Vom Meisterwerk auf die Geschenkbox

    June 28, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Wer kennt sie nicht, die zwei kleinen, rundlichen Engel, die Geschenkboxen, Bettwäsche, Glückwunschkarten, Briefmarken und jeden, eigentlich überflüssigen Kitsch- und Dekoartikel zieren? Und wer von den Konsumenten dieser Artikel weiß wirklich, aus welchem großartigen Kunstwerk diese beiden Putten separiert wurden, um ihr Dasein heute in unseren Wohnzimmern zusammenhangslos und für ein „Oh wie niedlich“ zu fristen? In Raffaels Sixtinischer Madonna sind sie entscheidender Bestandteil der Bildkomposition. Sie halten den Blick des Betrachters im Bild, der über Papst Sixtus zur Madonna mit dem Jesuskind und zur heiligen Barbara führt, die wiederum zu den Putten schaut. Die beiden erwiedern ihren Blick und nehmen den Betrachter in diesem erhabenen Renaissancegemälde gefangen. Die Bildgeometrie…

    Un anniversaire pas comme les autres…

    June 28, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Vous êtes convié à une fête d’anniversaire… Et vous connaissez peut-être celle qui souffle les bougies… La Madone Sixtine, une des plus célèbres toiles du peintre Raphaël (1483-1520), fête en effet ses 500 ans en 2012 ! Une des plus célèbres et une des plus mystérieuses aussi… Pourquoi les visages de Marie et de Jésus regardent-ils, pleins d’angoisse, en direction du spectateur ? Pourquoi le doigt du saint à droite de Marie est-il pointé vers le public ? Que signifient les visages fantomatiques visibles à l’arrière-plan ? Enfin, pourquoi la scène toute entière ressemble-t-elle autant à un décor de théâtre ? Mais la question la plus mystérieuse de toutes reste…

    Sistine Madonna, one of the oldest, but still among the most beautiful, women in the world

    June 26, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Raphael, everybody’s favourite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.* His namesake, Italian Renaissance painter, Raphael is also a favourite of his period; he continues to be admired and sought after the world over. Among his (the painter, of course) most famous works, The Parnassus (1511) and The Miraculous Draught of Fishes (1515), is the Sistine Madonna (below). This work, both simple and beautiful, still raises a lot of questions. Why is Mary’s face already one of concern, much like her general disposition when standing next to Christ on the Crucifix? What’s the deal with the ghostly images in the background – are they souls or cherubs? To whom is Saint Sixtus referring with…

    Dürer: the Mathematical Artist

    May 17, 2012 / 0 Comments

    I have long considered the artist and the mathematician to be incompatible specimens; geeks and creatives; oil and water. But artists such as Dürer, accomplished in both art and mathematics, certainly make a good case against my point of view. German Renaissance printmaker Albrecht Dürer made significant contributions to mathematics in literature, publishing works about the principles of mathematics, perspective and ideal proportions. He succeeded at a time when other great thinkers, including polymaths Leonardo da Vinci and Piero della Francesca were thinking in new ways, combining art with mathematics as a way of expressing an ‘ultimate truth’. Nothing conveys Dürer’s capacity for combining the two like his famous engraving…
