"Seldom does a collection of art history essays leave readers yearning for a second volume."-Barbara Wisch, Renaissance QuarterlyRoman church interiors throughout the Early Modern age were endowed with rich historical and visual significance. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in anticipation of and following the Council of Trent, and in response to the expansion of the Roman Curia, the chapel became a singular arena in which wealthy and powerful Roman families, as well as middle-class citizens, had the opportunity to demonstrate their status and role in Roman society. In most cases the chapels were conceived not as isolated spaces, but as part of a more complex system, which involved the nave and the other chapels within the church, in a dialogue among the arts and the patrons of those other spaces. This volume explores this historical and artistic phenomenon through a number of examples involving the patronage of prominent Roman families such as the Chigis, Spadas, Caetanis, Cybos and important artists and architects such as Federico Zuccari, Giacomo della Porta, Carlo Maderno, Alessandro Algardi, Pietro da Cortona, Carlo Maratta.…

Brossura. Condition: nuovo. Dust Jacket Condition: nuovo. prima edizione. Chapels of the Cinquecento and Seicento in the Churches of Rome.Form,Function Meaning Edited by Patrizia Tosini, Steven Ostrow and Chiara Franceschini. English Text. Milano, 2019; paperback, pp. 271, 60 b/w ill., 64 col. ill., cm 21x28. Fin dal primo Rinascimento le cappelle delle chiese di Roma furono decorate con ricchi corredi. Ma fu nel Cinquecento e nel Seicento che le cappelle diventarono gli spazi dove le grandi famiglie patrizie e l'alta borghesia romana poterono dimostrare il proprio prestigio sociale. Nella ricchezza degli apparati trionfò l'autorappresentazione di compagnie, casate e grandi uomini. Spesso le cappelle venivano concepite come parti di un sistema più complesso, allargato alla navata e alle altre cappelle, in un dialogo tra le arti e i committenti dei diversi ambienti. La «voce» individuale di ogni cappella (i suoi fini e significati) rispondeva in questo modo al più vasto «discorso» corale delle arti all'interno della chiesa, con esiti sempre più articolati e spettacolari negli anni del Barocco. Il volume indaga questo fenomeno - così rilevante, ed esclusivo della capitale pontificia - nell'esame di diversi casi tra XVI e XVII secolo. Diversi anche i tagli e gli approcci dei contributi, dai riflessi storici, filologici, iconografici, che aprono ad uno sguardo nuovo i penetrali delle chiese più venerate di Roma.

Brossura. Condition: ottimo. Archetipo Libri - Cleub, 2012. 274pp --- Descrizione Una certa prassi di editoria scolastica ha sommerso la letteratura italiana sotto commenti spesso mancanti di una glossa necessaria a far capire, in primo luogo, il significato delle parole d'autore, e secondariamente il valore di queste all'interno dell'architettura complessiva del messaggio letterario. E se Gianfranco Contini è invocato come modello di approccio critico, non se ne applica però quella che lui stesso, ripetendo con Benedetto Croce che tutte le creazioni poetiche sono «nient'altro che parole, e vanno interpretate in questi limiti», ha definito «critica verbale». Queste Prove di lettura intendono riproporre un modo di affrontare il testo che ne penetri anzitutto le «parole», una per una nel loro significato, e tutte insieme nella loro costruzione grammaticale e sintattica. Raggiunto questo irrinunciabile momento di comprensione, si apre la strada per un commento che potrà sciogliere altri nodi, come quelli del rapporto con la storia e l'ideologia dell'epoca in cui il testo fu prodotto, con la soggettività dell'autore, con le fonti del suo messaggio passate e presenti, interne ed esterne (i cosiddetti rimandi intratestuali e intertestuali). Solo con un'analisi «verbale» di questo tipo, umile e laboriosa, il lettore acquisisce saperi nel campo sia della letteratura sia della lingua, recuperando ricchezze e risorse dell'una e dell'altra.…
