Abstract

Die Publikation widmet sich den Beziehungen zwischen Restaurierung und Politik in der Kunst der italienischen Renaissance. Die Frage nach der Herkunft als Grundlage politischer, patrimonialer und kultureller Identität bildet den Fokus der Betrachtungen. Anstatt ursprüngliche Formen und Bedeutungen wiederherzustellen, wurde die Vergangenheit entsprechend neuen Identitätsbedürfnissen umgestaltet: Räume wurden umorganisiert und Kunstwerke mit neuen Bedeutungen versehen. Die materielle und ästhetische Realität der Kunstgegenstände erfuhr somit eine Umgestaltung und Neudefinition. Ziel der Beiträge ist es, mögliche physische Veränderungen der Artefakte im Lichte ihrer symbolischen Umkodierung zu analysieren. Mit Beiträgen von Kathleen W. Christian, Caroline S. Hillard, Mateusz Kapustka, Jérémie Koering, Victor Lopes, Florian Métral, Arnold Nesselrath, Neville Rowley, Beat Wyss. Restaurierungspraktiken in der italienischen Renaissancekunst Kritische Hinterfragung des Renaissancebegriffs Umkodierung antiker Werke zu politischen Zwecken The aim of this publication is to clarify the relationships between material restoration and politics in Italian Renaissance art. The focus of this research is on the question of origin as a foothold for political, patrimonial, and cultural identity. These claims were enacted within a system which, rather than restoring the initial forms and meanings of existing objects, remodeled the past according to new identity requirements: spaces were reorganized, and works of art invested with new meanings. Their material and aesthetic reality was thus transformed and redefined. The aim is therefore to analyze the potential physical modifications of these artefacts in light of their symbolic recoding. With contributions by Kathleen W. Christian, Caroline S. Hillard, Mateusz Kapustka, Jérémie Koering, Victor Lopes, Florian Métral, Arnold Nesselrath, Neville Rowley, Beat Wyss. Restoration practices in Italian Renaissance art Reassessing the concept of Renaissance Recording of ancient works for political purposes

Abstract

A striking account of Vasari's career, friendships, and contribution to the art of the Italian RenaissanceVasari's Lives of the Most Excellent Architects, Painters, and Sculptors, first published in 1550, fixed for three hundred years general European views about the art of the Renaissance, and its influence still lingers today. While much has been written about Vasari's writings, comparatively few full-length studies have dealt with the man himself. In this book, T.S.R. Boase offers a compelling account of Vasari's life and career. At the same time, Boase explores Vasari's ideas about the art and artists he described in the two editions of his Lives, placing these reflections in their contemporary context and later developments in art history and criticism. The result is an important appraisal of Vasari's achievement, which despite its imperfections is without parallel in the history of Western art.
