TOP things which suck in Vatican: the Michelangelo church is overcrowded, stuffy, and they don't allow you to take photos! People make photos anyway because that's what they came here for, but it's very bad quality. It leaves you with a desire to take a shower. :(

La "Pietá Rondanini" de Miguel Ángel

Hacia 1560, Castiello Sforzesco, Milán. Una de nuestras obras favoritas, con un impacto único, frágil y sentimental. En el patio museo del Castillo Sforzesco de Milán se conserva la Piedad Rondanini, la última obra de Miguel Ángel, la inacabada. Representa la más imperfecta de todas las obras del artista renacentista y, probablemente por la misma razón, incluso la más poética. El 18 de febrero…

Sculpture of Lorenzo de' Medici by Michelangelo Buonarotti, late 15th / early 16th century

[dankusner]

Fort Worth is home to Michelangelo’s first painting. Here’s how it ended up at the Kimbell

Before carving “David” or covering the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling in frescoes, Michelangelo Buonarroti painted “The Torment of Saint Anthony.”

Created when he was either 12 or 13 years old, it is the Renaissance artist’s first painting — and the piece hangs on a wall at the Kimbell Art Museum of Fort Worth.

The prolific artist thought of himself primarily as a sculptor, and “The Torment of Saint Anthony” is one of four easel paintings by Michelangelo.

The work is also the only Michelangelo painting in North or South America.

Acquiring the painting was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Kimbell Art Museum Director Eric Lee said, recalling his trip to see the painting in 2009.

At the time, there was strong evidence that it was the Italian master’s first painting, Lee said.

But that view was not a consensus among scholars.

Lee was in his second day on the job when he learned the painting was for sale.

Within a week, he boarded a flight to New York to examine the piece and make one of the most important decisions of his career.

“I said to myself at the time, ‘If we don’t buy it and it ends up being Michelangelo, it’s something I’ll regret for the rest of my life,’” Lee said. “‘But if we end up buying it and it ends up not being Michelangelo, it will be so much worse.’”

The fact that Michelangelo created a painting of Saint Anthony is well documented, but some questioned whether this particular depiction came from the artist.

“This painting was bought in the 1830s by this Italian sculptor. … He took the painting to Paris. At the time he thought that it was Michelangelo’s lost painting that was described by (biographers) Vasari and Condivi … and connoisseurs at the time believed that it was,” Lee said. “But then, as the course of the 19th century went on, it was in this private collection and people sort of forgot about it.”

In 1999, the piece was included in an exhibition dedicated to Michelangelo in Florence, but the painting was attributed to the “workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio,” the artist whom Michelangelo trained under.

Sotheby’s listed the painting for sale in 2008, and Adam Williams, an art dealer, purchased it.

That fall, he took the painting to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to have it cleaned and examined.

Evidence of underdrawings under “The Torment of Saint Anthony,” helped identify it as the work of Michelangelo Buonarotti.

The piece, which is dated 1487, was created with tempera paint on a wooden panel.

The cleaning allowed more detail to shine through and revealed a color palette that Michelangelo would later mirror while painting the Sistine Chapel.

An examination with infrared reflectography showed underdrawings called pentimenti.

“Frequently, forms overlap previously painted details, while in other areas paint has been scraped away. This suggests a rather intuitive, piecemeal approach to the sequence of painting, as one might expect of a young, inexperienced, but bold artist,” the Met said of the painting on its website.

The Met’s curator of European paintings, Keith Christiansen, told The New York Times in May 2009 that he “firmly believed” the painting was Michelangelo’s work, but the timing was not right for the museum to purchase it.

Michael Gallagher, a Met conservator who previously worked at the Kimbell, invited Lee and Claire Barry, then serving as the Kimbell’s director of conservation, to see the work.

“We looked at it as critically as you possibly could and could not come up with a single convincing argument against that attribution,” Lee said.

James Anno, associate curator of European art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston showed a comparison between Michelangelo’s source material from German artist Martin Schongauer and the young artist’s translation of the work into a different medium.

Christiansen was in the same camp and agreed to fly to Texas and present his findings to the Kimbell’s board.

The curator refused to accept an honorarium, or a payment for his services — a fact that impressed Lee.

“We offered him an honorarium and he said, ‘No, I don’t want to do that,’” Lee said. “He didn’t want people to say he was paid to say this.”

The Kimbell’s board agreed to the sale.

“Everything just aligned,” Lee said.

A few years later, with the help of John K. Delaney, a senior imaging scientist at the National Gallery of Art, Barry and the Kimbell’s conservation team discovered another sketch hidden under the painting.

Michelangelo’s authorship was further bolstered by the Italian scholar Giorgio Bonsanti’s writing on the subject in 2018.

“When we first announced the painting, we didn’t have that evidence. … From that point on, I don’t think the attribution can be remotely questioned,” Lee said. “That’s about as good as it gets.”

THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ARCHITECTURE IN ITALY

Paige Williams 

Italy, the birthplace of the Renaissance. Filled with culture, history, and power, all represented through architecture. One of the most influential countries that shaped architecture and design; introducing us to all types of architectural styles, from Classical to Gothic, Neoclassic, Rococo, Palladian style and many more. Also the birthplace of Andrea Palladio, Giacomo Vignola, Filippo Brunelleschi, Michelangelo Buonarotti, and Raphael Sanzio, many of the famous architects where these styles got their name. Italy offers those a way to time travel through the different ages and styles of their iconic buildings. I will be going over the most influential pieces of architecture in Italy, describing what it was like to witness it while studying abroad, and how these pieces impacted what we know about architecture and design today. 

Colosseum 

A guided tour of this arena is needed in order to understand and soak up every bit of history in those walls. Overall it’s eye opening to see and step foot in somewhere that gladiators, emperors and empresses have visited. A very special and popular place to see in Rome, and for good reason. 

Ponte vecchio

Duomo

The large area surrounding it is a contrast compared to all the tiny side streets and alleyways that are commonly seen in Florence. This open palazzo creates a stopping point for people to rest and relax instead of the feeling you get when being rushed along in an alley. Because the rest of Florence is so tiny and made up of small side streets, and little shops, this building feels exceptionally large which is why it makes such a great directional landmark. 

Walking by the Duomo at night is just as remarkable, if not more. The lights from the side shops illuminate the Duomo and bring out the shine from the gold painted details. If you were to stay in Florence, even for just a day, the Duomo is certainly a sight to see. During the afternoon, with tons of people around having lunch and taking pictures. And also experiencing it at night where things are calm, and only a few shop lights are on, it really is one of the best parts of the city.

I got the confirmation yesterday, the wonderful news that I was awarded the first prize at the Florence Biennale in the category of New Media Art. Primo Premio Lorenzo il Magnifico. Awarded a distinguished international jury of art experts, out of >600 artists in the running in 12 categories in the Biennale. The art of the winners will be exhibited at the Academy of Art and Design in Florence, 11-28 January 2024. Inspired I made a painting of Lorenzo il Magnifico (1449-1492), the de Medici Ruler of Florence. The academy of art of in Florence is the oldest in the world, founded in 1563. Members of the academy were Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarotti and even later Picasso.
