商品描述

Luminous essays on artists of the Italian Renaissance by one of our most inspired writers on the history and making of art.

In the three centuries from 1450 to 1750 painters, sculptors, and architects emerged from the medieval craft guilds of Italy to claim a new social status as creators, whose gorgeous handiwork, now called "art," expressed lofty inspiration as much as manual skill. In The Lies of the Artists, Ingrid Rowland takes us into the world of these artists, and into their seemingly miraculous ways of transforming transcendent ideas into tangible works of art that challenged and redefined reality, "lies" with the power to reveal a deeper truth.

As the great art patron Daniele Barbaro wrote: "bisogna aprire gli occhi," or "you have to open your eyes." And this is precisely what Rowland does in these essays, bringing her knowledge, keen perception, and singular wit to bear on the art and lives of Renaissance masters, including Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Bernini, Raphael, Titian, and El Greco, as well as some overlooked artists of phenomenal talent, such as Antonello da Messina, Andrea del Sarto, and Bertoldo di Giovanni. In dazzling prose, as luminous and versatile as the painterly effects she describes, she shows us the work of these artists in eye-opening, thought-provoking ways, recreating the delight and insight that the discovery of great art evokes.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

意大利文藝復興藝術家的光輝散文,出自我們最具啟發性的藝術歷史與創作作家之一。

在1450年至1750年的三個世紀中,畫家、雕塑家和建築師從意大利的中世工藝行會中脫穎而出,聲稱自己作為創作者的新社會地位,他們華麗的手工藝品,現在被稱為「藝術」,不僅表達了高尚的靈感,也展現了手工技藝。在《藝術家的謊言》中,Ingrid Rowland 帶我們進入這些藝術家的世界,探索他們似乎奇蹟般地將超越的思想轉化為具體的藝術作品,這些作品挑戰並重新定義了現實,這些「謊言」擁有揭示更深真理的力量。

正如偉大的藝術贊助人 Daniele Barbaro 所寫:「bisogna aprire gli occhi」,或「你必須睜開眼睛。」而這正是 Rowland 在這些散文中所做的,她將自己的知識、敏銳的洞察力和獨特的機智運用於文藝復興大師的藝術與生活,包括米開朗基羅、卡拉瓦喬、貝爾尼尼、拉斐爾、提香和埃爾·格列柯,以及一些被忽視的才華橫溢的藝術家,如安東內洛·達·梅西納、安德烈亞·德爾·薩爾托和貝爾托爾多·迪·喬凡尼。她以耀眼的文筆,像她所描述的繪畫效果一樣光輝而多變,向我們展示這些藝術家的作品,以令人驚豔和引人深思的方式,重現了偉大藝術發現所帶來的喜悅與洞察。
