Descrizione

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag berieben, Buchr�cken des Schutzumschlags weist minimale Randl�ren auf, sonst sehr gut und sauber / dust jacket rubbed, spine of dust jacket has minimal edgewear, otherwise very good and clean. - Identified by Albrecht D�rer in the sixteenth century as Venice�s foremost painter, and hailed in the nineteenth by Jacob Burckhardt as the �saviour� of Venetian painting, Giovanni Bellini is a pivotal figure in the development of Italian Renaissance art. In this lavishly illustrated book renowned art historian Oskar B�chmann charts the fraught trajectory of Bellini�s career, highlighting the crucial works that established his far-reaching influence in the Renaissance. Bellini struggled to break free from the long shadows cast both by his father, Jacopo, and by Bellini�s brother-in- law, Andrea Mantegna, and B�chmann traces out Bellini�s development of distinct aesthetic and painting techniques that enabled him to set himself apart. Bellini also insisted on choosing his own subjects and themes regardless of the preferences of his patron Isabella d�Este, and he thus set new standards regarding the independent role of the artist. Anchoring B�chmann�s analysis are a wealth of reproductions that include such famous works as The Feast of the Gods, the various Virgin and Child compositions and Bellini�s lauded altarpieces made for the churches of SS. Giovanni e Paolo, S. Giobbe and S. Zaccaria. Drawing on these masterpieces, B�chmann argues that Bellini�s artistry and skilful blending of colours created a new aesthetic more akin to music than to previous approaches to painting. And by leading viewers to understand this subtle, refined sensibility, Bellini made them into more knowledgeable admirers of art. B�chmann�s Giovanni Bellini is a beautifully illustrated and expansive study that will be essential reading for all historians and admirers of Renaissance art. / Contents Preface I Training II Orientations III Transformations IV Invention V Composition VI Harmony Chronology References Select Bibliography Photo Acknowledgements Index.
