This is not an art piece based on nature and gives a sense of artificiality, that is very typical of mannerism. These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.Parmigianino (Francesco Mazola), Madonna With The Long Neck, 1535-Madonna has a long neck, and is covered in jewels (which is a very unusual, and secular portrayal of her). Other “Oriental”, exotic images are included as well. Sensual atmosphere.-The body positions of Jesus/Mary are an ode to Michelangelo’s Pieta-The Painting is provocative-Mary’s neck/hands are exaggerated (emphasis on these erogenous zones)-Jesus doesn’t look like a baby- rather a prepubescent boy. Too old- it’s weird.-Figure in the back is unfinished-Lots of exaggerations -Scroll but not reading-Column there for no reason-Weirdness & mystery is essential to this piece-Does not follow typical renaissance conventions-is absorptive- figure looks out at us so viewer is engaged, reaches out to us-Does not have pyramidal compositional structure -Latin inscription- “I can’t be absolved”Venetian Paintings-focus on nudity (non religious paintings so there is more freedom with nudity)-thicker coats of paint, looser application of brush marks. -Stronger emphasis on landscape rather than figures. Narrative is the mood.pastoral - depicting scenes with shepherds working in fields, music, nursing child, returningto antiquital educational values, paintings aren’t morally instructive.arcadian - simpler time and simpler life, land of dreams and wishes.Not clear or precise detail, its a mood. Purpose is not to tell story.Giorgione & Titian, The PastoralConcert, 1536-41-The mood is characterized by the vaguely impressionistic style.-Landscape paintings are romanticized inVenice, since there are no reallandscapes in the city. -return to innocence and return toantiquity-arcadia - land of dreams and wishes-related to learning the classics-Implied music in the scenery-pastoral - way of life-Getting waterGiorgione, The Tempest, 1510- A gypsy woman nursing her child, showspastoral idea-His paintings are mysterious to us, hewas working for a clientele that waslooking for more than the typical religioussubject matter.- a new type of subject, where iconography and symbolism isn't standard- the young man is identified as a soldierand a shepard -Typical venetian architecture behind themno narrative or true “subject”- rather, the picture is composed of several elements of fragmented narratives.-“art for art’s sake”, “evocative, but not explicit”- this painting has no particular meaning- there are a whole range of interpretations for this painting.- oil paint is used to create an atmosphere full of humidity, oil paint is more dense and opaque. - This painting is mostly the space between the figures, this painting is meant to engage usTitian, Venus of Urbino, 1538-The painting was made for a rich man; thewoman depicted is one that he was to marrysoon (Guidobaldo della Rovere to GiuliaVerano).-So that he could look lustfully upon heruntil they were married. - only meant for his eyes-She is an object of interest and beauty:makes passive eye contact with the viewer. Breaks 4th wall.-Dog represents her loyalty- “Fido”/fidelity -pearl earring symbolizes her purity as a virgin-Maid and girl are representative of domesticity: supposedly they are digging through a marriage chest. they act as a counterbalance to the venus, and venus becomes a relief for the eye-chest=symbol given to newlyweds-Cover up blatant nudity by calling her Venus-Privately commissioned painting.- she is given the name of venus much later, and is used more as a protective title due to itsnude subject matter- everything within this painting is sexual however the most sexual aspect of this painting is the softness of her skin, this is created by using a glazing technique within the painting.the canvas is divided into two so our eyes move down her body-figures in the background balance the mass of her body- its only when we pay close attention when we realize problems such as how small her feetare, Baroque Architecture in RomeDonato Bramante, Tempietto, Church of San Pietro in Montorio, 1502-10-Commissioned by Ferdinand of Aragon andIsabella of Castille- this was a reliquary- beginnings of baroque architecture- he included elements that are no necessarybut only includes them for visual effect-Key piece of architecture for the time: thisparticular church was influential for futurearchitecture. -Harmonized the forms from antiquity and the Renaissance. -Very classical style-Influenced by surrounding Temples: Of Hercules, Temple of Fortuna Virilis, and the remains of temple Vesta. -Constructed with decorative entablatures and baluster. -Dome structures (circles within circles) have cosmic significance. -St. Peter (founder of the Roman church & first pope) was crucified where the church was built.Carlo Maderno, Sta. Susanna, Facade, R597-1603Il Gesù, Rome, Giacomo della Porta,1575-84-Occupied by “Society of Jesus”(Modernly known as Jesuits). -Take an extra vow of purity,poverty, and as soldiers of thepope. -”Defenders of the Religion”-The church was built in a location that thepope would pass on his daily route &routine-Early baroque style-exaggeration - engaged columns in facade-architecture projects more as it reaches the door - building gets thicker. -Contains smaller, unconnected chapel rooms. -Colossal pillars- gilded gold.
