            Torquato Tasso produced the Christian epic, Gerusalemme Liberata in 1581. This work rivaled Ludovico Ariosto’s epic, Orlando Furioso by combining the influence of classical myth with Christian morality.  Not only was it a major contribution to Italian Renaissance literature, it immediately became a popular subject depicted in art and maintained [...]

Titian’s Venetian Venuses
 
 
There is no other artist who more readily embodies the celebrated tradition of
Venetian Renaissance painting as does the gifted Titian. Due in part to his notably long
and prosperous career, his oeuvre stands as a diverse body of work that perfectly displays
the beauty, grandness, and brilliance of the Italian Renaissance. From his early Religious
works, [...]

Referencing Giorgione’s Sleeping Venus: “It is pointless to ask what Venus was doing, sleeping naked in the landscape, for it was the cultural neutrality of the landscape background that allowed the fantasy to take [...]

This is the updated edited rough draft for my research paper.

Last class, issues on how brickwork is conserved were raised and I wasn’t sure about the answers. Needless to say, I’ve now followed through with more specific research to tell you all how bricks in general are cleaned and protected.
Cleaning Brickwork
Because bricks vary considerably in their composition and manufacturing processes, there is no exact cleaning [...]

Tomorrow I will present on the architecture of Jacopo Sansovino and its role in articulating the myth of Venice.  So I don’t bore anyone tomorrow I pulled together a few articles you can access online that relate but aren’t quite my topic. Dabble as you wish.
 
This article discusses how Sansovino’s buildings on the piazzetta were both [...]

Why would a master paint an imperfect Saint Sebastian?! Perhaps the ladies needed to spend more time focusing on the service and altar than on the altarpiece!
Here is a response to my request for a translation of Italian in a previous post… by someone who speaks Italian fluently. Perhaps this is an interesting [...]

For three decades, a single idea on how to safeguard Venice and its lagoon from sinking beneath the sea has held sway: a wall of hinged barriers at each of the three entrances to the lagoon that would rise at the flick of a switch to collectively block extreme high tides [...]

Here are the first few pages of the paper.  As the paper grows, and eventually addresses the substance of my topic, these will probably get cut down a lot.  Anyways, they have a short historiography of the myth of venice stopping just before most of the Renaissance content.  Please excuse the empty quotes etc.. Here [...]

The unique qualities in Venetian painting of the Renaissance are due to the focus on colorito, or color. The Venetian painter’s interest in the way light and shadow could be used to mimic form, and their controlled use of color, by layering and glazing paint, is championed by Lodovico [...]

Titian self portrait

What is essential in Venetian painting and how it came about.

In order to trace Titan’s innovation, I will first look at Venetian painting in general. Extraordinary, brilliant use color is a hallmark of Venetian painting. Perhaps the early painters got their inspiration from the mosaics of San Marco. Figures composed [...]

I anticipated that Tiepolo focused more on Rinaldo and Armida’s love while Tasso focused more on Rinaldo as a hero, overcoming his love affair with a sorceress. In some ways I have found these predictions [...]
