🪶Writing Update🪶 Went to the National Gallery in London last month and saw some great artwork, including an unfinished Michaelangelo (a contemproary of my characters!) Really fun to see what Isabettas's work may have looked like (if she'd been permitted to paint) I've had to do a lot of research on Renaissance artwork, types of paint, painting techniques etc. for her scenes - did you know many artists had apprentices that had to learn to paint in their specific artstyle and would help with may of their paintings and experts can sometimes find it difficult to distinguish between the work 👀 This research is important because it underpins the entirety of the Renaissance and underpins many other scenes with other characters. I love stumbling upon a line of research that leads to a whole new scene or plot point. It's just as fun as using your real life to inform your work. Since my last update, I've developed Beatrice, Isabetta's sister in law, significantly from my MA. She served a purpose then, but had very little personality outside of serving that purpose. I sat down and just wrote some facts about her, anything that came to my head - what she does in the story, and why, and the type of person she is, and in this random mesh of word vomit a character formed. Her scenes with Isabetta very quickly became so fun to write. I hope she's a joy to read, i hope her actions make her a confusing character, and i hope i can get across the complexity of being a young person with lots of conflicting voices having a say in your life before you have the chance to develop agency.  At least for now, who knows how they'll change as the writing progresses!  I've been looking at side characters and sub plots as a whole and how they can inform the main plot. More on that soon ♡ Feel free to ask any questions and sry for the terrible pics, I've not researched photography yet;) #renaissanceart #historicalfiction #writergram #bookstagram

3 weeks until the opening of my exhibition in London 😱 The excitement is growing and every now and then I would like to present here works that I show at the jamesfreemangallery. If you are thinking about a flashy state portrait, this is a good example. State portraits always show leaders who want to express their overview, their indefeasibility, well, simply their greatness. Then it is always best not to look at the viewers (one may not identify with the lowlands of life), but turn his gaze away to the horizon of eternal power. This resembles, as nationalgallery writes in its description, a picture of a head in profile on a coin. After all, we don't want a guy staring at us on every penny, so the profile is better anyway. The insignia of power and precious fabrics are of course present. I like in these cases to hide the super important people entirely under this power stuff. But here I have additionally changed his direction of view. Now we assume he's looking at us, so I've taken him out of his untouchability. He may have forgotten it at that time: but he is also only one of us! . Hidden Catena, Photocollage 2021 . . Hidden Portraits are interventions via Photoshop in photos of historical portrait paintings. They are digital works. I cover the faces in different ways, but I do not add anything from the outside to the paintings. I only reshape individual elements of the painting itself, taking into account the special characteristics of the painting. The Hidden Portraits are a contemporary view of art history, of paintings as part of representation. I hide individuality behind the magnificent surfaces and try to incorporate a contemporary discourse on codes of clothing and society into historical paintings. . #brocade #doge #16thcentury #16thcenturyart #artstagram #london #artshow #artgallery #gallery #exhibition #artcollector #digitalcollageart #hiddenportrait #volkerhermes #renaissance #surreal #arthistory #surrealportrait #collageartwork #ig_masterpiece #renaissanceart #oldmaster #arthistorynerd #tinaturner #collector #oldmasterportrait #historicalportrait #oldmasterpainting #venice #contemporaryart

Parmigianino, 1503-1540 • Die Madonna mit der Rose, 1529/30 • The artist makes it difficult for us to decide whether this picture shows the Virgin and Child or the Roman god-dess of love, Venus, with Amor. The boy holds a rose, the symbol of love. The globe refers to the all-encom-passing nature of love. Whether this is heavenly or profane love, however, is left to the viewer. Parmigianino’s painting is an early highlight in Mannerist art. The ambi-guity of the image is typical of this period. • Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden • #gemäldegaleriealtemeister #altemeisterdresden #altermeister #altemeistergemälde #oldmasterpaintings #oldmasterpainting #hochrenaissance #renaissance #renaissanceart #oldpainting #paintingart #museumart #dresdenmuseum #museumpiece #parmigianino #parmigianinopaintings #artvisitors

Snorting, slurping, scarfing, scrolling, squawking, snuffling, scrunching:    Barbarian hordes are again overrunning fabled Florence.    Tsunamis of swinish, stomping, swarming tourists ( this scribbler ✍🏼 excepted, évidemment! ) — as odious as marauders of ages past, more calamitous than the Arno's floods — burst the seams of narrow medieval streets in this enchanted citta, its ground sacred to the history of civilization.    Sheeple: Loutish. Rapacious. Raucous. Feeble-minded. Selfie-smitten.     "Alien, ignorant, greedy [ ... ] loathsome"  — David Foster Wallace      Desecrating temples of culture... overwhelming sanctuaries of art... impervious to the creative genius of the Renaissance, its transcendent treasures and incomparable legacy.    Heedless of its pinnacles of beauty, harmony and dignity, humanist ideals that have animated the Western spirit for more than seven centuries.      1. Miraculous Masterpiece: Duomo by Filippo Brunelleschi, Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore    2. Cradle of the Rinascimento: Firenze    3. Bridge across the Arno and the Centuries: Ponte Vecchio    4. 'Allegro vivace': Piazza della Repubblica    5. Sumptuous Sacred Art: 'Altare Maggiore', Basilica di Santa Croce    6.

50. Grandpa Imagine you are in a room with 100 people. Somehow, everybody is assigned a number. 1 is the best person, 100 is the worst. What number do you think you would have, and why? In my painting “1-100”, I am capturing a sleuth of my friends displayed alongside their answer. When I asked my grandpa this question, it was quite brief. He responded with “well I think I would need more information”, and although it is not much of an answer, it is just as telling as every other answer I have received. My grandfather is a very humble, logical, and thorough man. Like his background in collegiate chemistry, he would not give a more opinionated answer unless he completely understood the hypothetical. I worked from a photograph (slide 4) I took of him dozing off at the most recent family Christmas gathering. We were watching the best grinch movie (only right answers in the comments). It was a pleasant surprise when I realized I could pop him on his side, permanently resting (or in thought) near the edge of this painting. I’m still working team! I promise you will see the whole thing soon (and a lot of content comes with it!) #art #artist #painting #oilpainting #renaissanceart

“Are you ready to Fellini again?” 🪦🦢🌊🐚 Shooting the @become_spellbound collection we have at @nocturnesalem made me decide that, yes, Fellini is now a verb. It’s when you run through the streets in some ridiculously dramatic get-up, embrace a sense of surrealism and give the tourists a glimpse of the daily oddness that is your town square. And a true Fellini romp has to be captured by @kimigibsonhill

Autre souvenir du kunsthistorisches museum de Vienne. La spectaculaire salière du sculpteur Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571). Réalisée entre 1539 et 1543, de forme navette sur une base d’ébène ornée d’un décor en émail symbolisant les quatre saisons et les heures. Deux personnages se font faces, jambes croisées, Cybèle (qui porte bien son nom) d’une étonnante sensualité fait face au dieu Neptune tenant son trident assis sur un trône flanqué de chevaux marins. Cette remarquable pièce d’orfèvrerie commandée initialement par François 1er est un témoin du maniérisme de cette période. Elle fut offerte à l’archiduc Ferdinand du Tyrol par le roi de France Charles IX …. elle est restée dans les collections des Habsbourg avant d’intégrer le musée au XIXe siècle. Les salles consacrées à cette période justifient de passer une journée dans ce musée ne vous en privez pas vous ne serez pas déçu du voyage !!

Parmigianino, 1503-1540 • The Conversion of St. Paul, 1527/28 • As the Gospels report, Saul, on the road to Damascus where he was meant to persecute Christians, was suddenly bathed in heavenly light. Dazzled, he fell to the ground. Saul turned back, was baptised and as Paul became a passionate advocate of the new falth. Parmigianino interprets the miracle of divine inspiration as a highly dramatic event which In Its ecstasy equally affects both man and animal. • Kunsthistorische Museum, Wien • #kunsthistorischesmuseum #kunsthistorischesmuseumwien #historischemuseum #artmuseum #artmuseums #parmigianino #artcollector #history #papstpaul #artpainting #stpaul #damascus #arthistory #renaissanceart #renaissancefaire #renaissancepainting #oldpainting #masterpiece #masterpieces

The Roses of Heliogabalus is an 1888 painting by the Anglo-Dutch artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema which depicts the infamous party scene hosted by the young Roman Emperor Heliogabalus(203-222 AD). The Roman emperor lies nonchalantly, drinks his wine, and observes as his guests below are smothered to death by rose petals. This is the ultimate party prank. It brings ancient history to a contemporary audience. Who knew that a Roman Emperor literally smothered his dinner guests with flowers? . . . . #banquet #roses #rosesofheliogabalus #almatadema #lawrencealmatadema #art #painting #heliogabalus #preraphaelites #preraphaelite #preraphaeliteart #flowers #neoclassical #classicalpainting #oilpaintjng #ancientgreece #ancientrome #art #dailyart #masterpiece #artinspirations #romanticism #preraphaelite #death #victorian #renaissanceart #artist #arthistory #fineart #oilpainting

Museums stand as guardians of our collective past, serving as vital conduits that seamlessly connect the threads of history, present, and future. They possess a unique ability to stir our imaginations in a way that only our past can inspire. Among these cultural bastions, the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Italy, shines brightly. This renowned art gallery houses an unparalleled collection of masterpieces from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, featuring works by luminaries such as Caravaggio, Bernini, Raphael, and Titian. Among these treasures, Bernini's "The Rape of Proserpina" stands as a testament to the enduring power of mythological narratives. Crafted in marble, this captivating sculpture vividly portrays the mythological drama of Proserpina's abduction by Pluto, the god of the underworld. It symbolizes a time when artists not only rediscovered but also drew profound inspiration from the rich tapestry of Greek and Roman mythology. Mythology, with its timeless themes and allegorical depth, served as a wellspring of creative exploration, shaping the cultural and artistic dialogues of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. "The Rape of Proserpina" invites viewers to contemplate universal themes of beauty, mortality, and the inexorable passage of time. Through its allegorical interpretation, Proserpina emerges as a poignant symbol of the fleeting nature of existence, while Pluto represents the inevitability of death and the transience of earthly pleasures. In this interpretation, Proserpina's abduction serves as a metaphor for the ephemeral nature of memory, echoing the way our own memories can slip away with the relentless march of time. In essence, "The Rape of Proserpina" exemplifies the transformative power of art, transcending temporal boundaries to speak to the human condition across centuries. It stands as a timeless reminder of the enduring legacy of myth and the profound impact it continues to wield on the evolution of Western art.   #MuseusMonday #ArtisticHeritage #BerniniSculpture #RenaissanceArt #BaroqueMasterpieces #MythologyInArt #CulturalDialogue #TimelessArt #ArtisticInspiration #MemoryAndArt #ArtisticLegacy #MythologicalNarratives
