Résumé:
This publication offers the first comprehensive study in English of Baldassare Longhena (1598–1682), the indispensable architect of the Venetian Baroque. While Longhena's legacy is most visible in his iconic Madonna della Salute, the 17th-century basilica devoted to the Virgin Mary in gratitude for Venice's deliverance from the plague, and in the Pesaro and Rezzonico palaces along the Grand Canal, he created a plethora of other works over the course of a career that spanned half a century. Andrew Hopkins's thought-provoking text considers the full span of Longhena's illustrious career, from his monumental staircases and libraries to the palaces commissioned by private patrons and his projects for Venice's Greek and Jewish communities. This lively account is accompanied by more than sixty color and 300 black-and-white photographs commissioned especially for the book. A complete list of Longhena's work is included in an appendix.

Résumé:
De Rome à Würzburg et de l’Andalousie à l’Amérique latine, l’art baroque est le premier phénomène artistique d’ampleur mondiale. Véhicule des idées de l’église catholique, il a su inventer des formes nouvelles, tout en s’adaptant à des conditions historiques, politiques et géographiques très différentes. Longtemps considéré comme un art de décadence, le baroque apparaît aujourd’hui comme la manifestation d’une civilisation qui a considérablement élargi l’horizon du réel. La culture de l’âge baroque est à l’origine de la nôtre : c’est la première véritable “civilisation de l’image”. Construit autour des photographies réalisées ces vingt dernières années par Ferrante Ferranti, Baroques présente tous les aspects du baroque mondial dans un parcours qui donne au lecteur une idée de l’infini d’un style artistique grandiose.

Résumé:
Comment créer des formes nouvelles dans un système a priori clos par des règles de morphologie et de syntaxe clairement définies ? Le système des ordres d’architecture classiques ne laisse apparemment aucune place à l’innovation formelle. Mais si les trois ordres grecs, dorique, ionique et corinthien, fournissent à la Renaissance le pivot naturel de la grammaire et le fondement de la rhétorique, des formes périphériques apparaissent aux marges : toscan, attique, italique ou latin sont autant d’inventions qui, bien qu’elles échappent à la perfection de l’idée de l’architecture, acquièrent une valeur esthétique. Mineures, hybrides, monstrueuses parfois, elles suscitent l’intérêt des plus inventifs des architectes, Michel-Ange ou Philibert De l’Orme, dont elles stimulent l’imagination.

Résumé:
Giuliano da Sangallo was one of the first architects to draw the ruins and artifacts of ancient Rome in a systematic way. Cammy Brothers shows how Giuliano played a crucial role in the Renaissance recovery of antiquity, and how his work transformed the broken fragments of Rome’s past into the image of a city made whole. The book demonstrates how his drawings form the basis for a reevaluation of the meaning and method of the Renaissance study of ancient artifacts, and brings to life the transformative moment when artists and architects began to view the fragments of ancient Rome not as broken artifacts of little interest but as objects of aesthetic contemplation.

Here for the first time is a study that examines the historical reception of this vastly influential text. This collection charts the varied interpretations of Leonardo's ideas in French, Italian, Spanish, English, German, Dutch, Flemish, Greek, and Polish speaking environments where the Trattato was an important resource for the academic instruction of artists, one of the key sources drawn upon by art theorists, and widely read by a diverse network of artists, architects, biographers, natural philosophers, translators, astronomers, publishers, engineers, theologians, aristocrats, lawyers, politicians, entrepreneurs, and collectors.

'Inside the Renaissance house' vividly conveys through contemporary illustrations and lively writing the realities of living in Florence and Venice during this innovative era and takes the reader on a room-by-room tour. From the sala, devoted to games, music and entertaining in style, to the bedchamber, which was far from the private space it is today, to the study, full of objects, Elizabeth Currie evokes the life that went on in each room.

Résumé:
During the Renaissance, the contest to decide the order of rank among the fine arts, architecture, painting, and sculpture was an issue that also occupied the famous architect Andrea Palladio. He was convinced that architecture spoke for itself and did not require any ornamentation through painting. Nevertheless, frescos adorn the walls and ceilings of many of his villas. In Frescos, Antonio Foscari analyzes this fresco cycle, one that not only represents an outstanding example of trompe l’oeil based on architectural structures – and which is closely modeled on Palladio’s ideals – but also sheds light on formative events within the family that commissioned Palladio. This publication contains a wealth of historical documents as well as photographs of the frescos by Matthias Schaller.

Résumé:
The notion that numerical proportional systems contribute to the serene, orderly appearance of the basilica of San Lorenzo has long stood as a virtual axiom of architectural history. In this book, Cohen challenges this and many other long-standing preconceptions about proportional systems in the history of architecture. Using Brunelleschi's basilicas of San Lorenzo and Santo Spirito as case studies, the author presents a detailed analysis of his comprehensive measurements of these buildings, which he recorded from scaffolding, meticulous observations of the built fabric, and a variety of documentary sources. This book presents a rigorous new approach to an important but little studied area of architectural history and is essential reading for anyone interested in medieval and Renaissance architecture.
