Venetian school of paintingGiovanni Bellini (Giovanni Bellini) (circa 1430–1516), the second son of Jacopo Bellini, is the greatest artist of the Venetian school, who laid the foundations for the art of the High Renaissance in Venice. Portrait of the Doge Leonardo Loredan] The portrait of the Doge Leonardo Loredan was officially commissioned by Bellini as an artist of the Republic of Venice. In this work, the doge is depicted almost frontally - contrary to the existing tradition of depicting the faces of those portrayed in profile, including on medals and coins. Altar of St. Job At the foot of the high throne, on which the Madonna and Child solemnly sits, blessing those who came to bow to her, there are musical angels (Saint Job was considered one of the patrons of music). The figures are life-size. Bellini placed two naked saints, Jobbe and Sebastian, on the flanks of the throne of Mary, next to them - the saints John the Baptist, Dominic and Louis of Toulouse. The architecture and decor of the apse, covered with gold smalt, are reminiscent of the Cathedral of San Marco. On a golden background, the words are clearly read: "Ave, pure flower of virgin chastity." Giorgione. Giorgione "Self-portrait" (1500-1510) Another representative of the Venetian school of painting; one of the greatest masters of the High Renaissance. His full name is Giorgio Barbarelli da Castelfranco, after the name of a small town near Venice. He was a student of Giovanni Bellini. He was the first Italian painter in religious, mythological and historical paintings to introduce a landscape, a beautiful and poetic Judith Judith, or Judith (Hebrew יהודית - Yehudit, the feminine version of the name Judah, “praise to Jehovah”) - a character in the Old Testament deuterocanonical “Book of Judith ”, a Jewish widow who saved her hometown from the Assyrian invasion. After the Assyrian troops besieged her hometown, she dressed up and went to the camp of the enemies, where she attracted the attention of the commander. When he got drunk and fell asleep, she cut off his head, and brought it to her native city, which thus turned out to be saved. Surprisingly chaste, despite her nakedness, "Sleeping Venus" is in the fullest sense an allegory, a symbolic image of Nature. Storm. The main character of this picture is a thunderstorm. The artist took the background to the brilliance of a lightning-like arrow, which, like a snake, flashed in the air. Immediately to the right and left, the foreground displays the female and male figures. The woman is feeding the child. She has almost no clothes on. The picture is full of variety. Wildlife makes itself felt everywhere http://opisanie-kartin.com/opisanie-kartiny-dzhordzhone-g TitianTitian "Self-Portrait" (circa 1567) Titian Vecellio is an Italian Renaissance painter. He painted pictures on biblical and mythological subjects, as well as portraits. Already at the age of 30, he was known as the best painter of Venice. Titian was born into the family of a statesman and military leader Gregorio Vecellio. The exact date of his birth is unknown. At the age of 10 or 12, Titian came to Venice, where he met representatives of the Venetian school and studied with them. The first works of Titian, performed jointly with Giorgione, were frescoes in the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, of which only fragments have survived. Love Earthly and Heavenly The plot of the picture still causes controversy among art historians. According to the 19th-century Viennese art historian Franz Wickhoff, the scene depicts the meeting of Venus and Medea, whom the goddess persuades to help Jason. According to another version, the plot was borrowed from Francesco Colonna's book Hypnerotomachia Poliphila, which was popular at the time. Against the backdrop of a sunset landscape, a richly dressed Venetian woman is sitting at the source, holding a mandolin with her left hand and naked Venus holding a bowl of fire. According to S. Zuffi, a dressed girl personifies love in marriage; marriage is indicated by the color of her dress (white), the belt, gloves on her hands, the myrtle wreath crowning her head, loose hair and roses. A pair of rabbits is depicted in the background - a wish for a large offspring. This is not a portrait of Laura Bagarotto, but an allegory of a happy marriage.// Bacchus and Ariadne Ariadne, abandoned by Theseus on the island of Naxos, came to console Bacchus. Titian depicts the moment of the first meeting of the heroes. Bacchus comes out of the thicket with his large retinue and rushes to Ariadne, who is frightened of him. In this compositionally complex scene, all the characters and their actions are explained by ancient texts. The retinue of Bacchus performs its rituals: one satyr demonstrates how snakes wrap around him, another swings a calf's leg, and a baby satyr drags an animal's head behind him. Penitent Mary MagdaleneTiziano Vecellio painted his work "Penitent Mary Magdalene" to order in the 60s of the 16th century. The model of the painting was Giulia Festina, who struck the artist with a shock of golden hair. The finished canvas greatly impressed the Duke of Gonzaga, and he decided to order a copy of it. Later, Titian, changing the background and posing of the woman, painted a couple more similar works. Saint Sebastian "Saint Sebastian" is one of the best works of the painter. Titian's Sebastian is a proud Christian martyr who, according to legend, was shot with a bow by order of Emperor Diocletian for refusing to worship pagan idols. Sebastian's powerful body is the embodiment of strength and defiance, his gaze expresses not physical torment, but a proud challenge to the tormentors. Titian achieved a unique effect of shimmering color not only with the help of a color palette, but also using the texture of paints, the relief of strokes “Behold the Man” This painting is considered Titian's masterpiece. It is written on the gospel story, but the artist skillfully transfers the gospel events to reality. Pilate stands on the steps of the stairs and, with the words “this is a man,” betrays Christ to be torn apart by the crowd, in which there are warriors and young men of a noble family, horsemen and even women with children. And only one person is aware of the horror of what is happening - the young man in the lower left corner of the picture. But he is nobody before those who have power over Christ at this moment...1543). Canvas, oil. 242x361 cm. Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna Tintoretto (1518/19-1594) Tintoretto "Self-portrait" His real name is Jacopo Robusti. He was a painter of the Venetian school of the late Renaissance. He was born in Venice and was nicknamed Tintoretto (little dyer) by the profession of his father, a former dyer (tintore). Early discovered the ability to paint. For some time he was a student of Titian. The distinctive qualities of his work were the lively drama of the composition, the boldness of the drawing, the peculiar picturesqueness in the distribution of light and shadows, the warmth and strength of colors. The Last Supper The painting was painted specifically for the Venetian church of San Giorgio Maggiore, where it remains to this day. The bold composition of the painting helped artfully depict earthly and divine details. The plot of the canvas is the gospel moment when Christ breaks bread and pronounces the words: "This is my body." The action takes place in a poor tavern, its space sinks into twilight and seems limitless thanks to a long table. Paolo Veronese aolo Veronese was born in 1528 in Verona. He was the fifth son in the family. He studied with his uncle, the Venetian painter Badile, and worked in Verona and Mantua. In 1553, Veronese was decorating the Doge's Palace. At the age of 27 he was called to Venice to decorate the sacristy of the Stasenko church. In 1560, Veronese visits Rome, where he paints Saint Veronica in the village of Maser near Vicenza. In 1566 he married the daughter of his teacher Antonio Badile. In 1573, Veronese was accused by the court of the Inquisition, but managed to justify himself and was forced only to correct and exclude some figures in one of his paintings Lamentation of Christ. He made the composition concise and simple, which increased the expressiveness of its three figures: the dead Christ, the Mother of God bent over him and an angel. Soft, muted colors are combined in a beautiful range of greenish, lilac-cherry, gray-white tones, softly shimmering in the lights and, as it were, fading into the shadows. In the first half of the 17th century, it was bought by the English king Charles I. Subsequently, the painting in the church was replaced with a copy of the work of Alessandro Varotari (Padovanino).

VENICE SCHOOL OF PAINTING

Teacher: Kaigorodova Natalya Evgenievna


What does "Venetian school" mean?

Venice was one of the leading centers of Italian culture. It is considered one of the main Italian schools of painting. The heyday of the Venetian school is attributed to the XV-XVI centuries. The "Pearl of the Adriatic" - a quaintly picturesque city with canals and marble palaces, spread over 119 islands in the waters of the Gulf of Venice - was the capital of a powerful trading republic. This became the basis for the prosperity and political influence of Venice, which included part of Northern Italy, the Adriatic coast of the Balkan Peninsula, overseas territories. It was one of the leading centers of Italian culture, printing, and humanistic education.


Artistic principles

Many Italian artists worked in Venice, united by common artistic principles.

These principles are: bright color schemes

mastering the plasticity of oil painting

the ability to see the life-affirming meaning of nature and life itself in its most wonderful manifestations.

The Venetians were characterized by a taste for everything unique, emotional richness of perception, admiration for the physical, material diversity of the world. At a time when fragmented Italy was torn apart by strife, Venice prospered and quietly floated on the smooth surface of the waters and living space, as if not noticing the whole complexity of being or not thinking about it especially, in contrast to the High Renaissance, whose creativity was fed by thoughts and complex searches.


Venice gave the world such wonderful masters as Giovanni Bellini and Carpaccio, Giorgione and Titian, Veronese and Tintoretto… Their work enriched European art with such significant artistic discoveries that later artists from Rubens and Velazquez to Surikov constantly turned to Venetian Renaissance painting.

Venice is associated with the highest flowering for Italy of such purely secular genres as portrait, historical and mythological painting, landscape, rural scene .

Paolo Veronese


The most important discovery of the Venetians was the coloristic and pictorial principles developed by them. Among other Italian artists there were many excellent colorists, endowed with a sense of the beauty of color, the harmonious harmony of colors.

But the basis of the pictorial language was drawing and chiaroscuro, which clearly and completely modeled the form. Color was understood rather as the outer shell of the form, not without reason, applying colorful strokes, the artists fused them into a perfectly smooth, enamel surface. This style was also loved by Dutch artists, who were the first to master the technique of oil painting.


Jacopo Bellini

Features of Venetian painting took shape over a long, almost one and a half century, path of development. The founder of the Renaissance school of painting in Venice was Jacopo Bellini, the first of the Venetians who turned to the achievements of the most advanced Florentine school at that time, the study antiquity and the principles of linear perspective .

The main part of his heritage consists of two albums of drawings with the development of compositions for complex multi-figured scenes on religious themes. In these drawings, intended for the artist's studio, the characteristic features of the Venetian school are already showing through. They are imbued with the spirit of gossip, interest not only in the legendary event, but also in the real life environment.

Nativity


Gentile Bellini

The successor of Jacopo's work was his eldest son Gentile Bellini, the largest master of historical painting in Venice of the 15th century. On his monumental canvases, Venice appears before us in all the splendor of its bizarrely picturesque appearance, at the moments of festivities and solemn ceremonies, with crowded magnificent processions and a motley crowd of spectators crowding on narrow embankments of canals and humpbacked bridges.

The historical compositions of Gentile Bellini influenced the work of his younger brother Vittore Carpaccio, who created several cycles of monumental paintings for the Venetian brotherhoods - Scuol. The most remarkable of them is the History of St. Ursula" and "A Scene from the Life of Saints Jerome, George and Typhon".

Titian (1488/1490-1576)

Titian Vecellio is an Italian Renaissance painter. He painted pictures on biblical and mythological subjects, as well as portraits. Already at the age of 30 he was known as the best painter in Venice. Titian was born into the family of the statesman and military leader Gregorio Vecellio. The exact date of his birth is unknown.

Titian "Self-portrait" (circa 1567)


At the age of 10 or 12, Titian came to Venice, where he met representatives of the Venetian school and studied with them.

The style of Titian of that time is very similar to the style of Giorgione, he even finished painting for him, which remained unfinished (Giorgione died young from the plague raging in Venice at that time).

Famous paintings of that time: "Gypsy Madonna" (circa 1511), "Earthly Love and Heavenly Love" (1514), "Woman with a Mirror"

"Gypsy Madonna"


Titian's brush belongs to many female portraits and images of Madonnas. They are full of vitality, brightness of feelings and calm joy. The colors are clean and full of color.

Titian. "Portrait of Lavinia's daughter". Oil. Late 1550s.


Titian "Love earthly and heavenly." Oil on canvas, 118x279 cm. Boghese Gallery, Rome

This painting was commissioned by Niccolò Aurelio, secretary of the Council of Ten of the Venetian Republic, as his wedding gift to his bride. The modern name of the painting began to be used 200 years later, and before that it had various names. There is no consensus among art critics about the plot. Against the backdrop of a sunset landscape, a richly dressed Venetian woman is sitting at the source, holding a mandolin in her left hand, and a naked Venus holding a bowl of fire. Winged cupid plays with water. Everything in this picture is subject to the feeling of all-conquering love and beauty.


Titian's style developed gradually as he studied the works of the great Renaissance masters Raphael and Michelangelo. His portrait art reaches its peak: he was very perspicacious and knew how to see and portray the contradictory traits of people's characters: confidence, pride and dignity, combined with suspicion, hypocrisy and deceit. He knew how to find the right compositional solution, pose, facial expression, movement, gesture. He created many paintings on biblical subjects.

Titian "Behold the Man" (1543). Canvas, oil. 242x361 cm Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna

This painting is considered Titian's masterpiece. It is written on the gospel story, but the artist skillfully transfers the gospel events to reality. Pilate stands on the steps of the stairs and, with the words “this is a man,” betrays Christ to be torn apart by the crowd, in which there are warriors and young men of a noble family, horsemen and even women with children. And only one person is aware of the horror of what is happening - the young man in the lower left corner of the picture. But he is nobody before those who have power over Christ at this moment...



In 1575, an epidemic of plague begins in Venice. Titian, infected by his son, dies on August 27, 1576. He was found dead on the floor with a brush in his hand.

The law required the bodies of those who died of the plague to be burned, but Titian was buried in the Venetian Cathedral of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari.

On his grave are the words: "Here lies the great Titian Vecelli - rival of Zeus and Apelles"

Giorgione da Castelfranco

Giorgione da Castelfranco lived a short life. He died at the age of thirty-three during one of the frequent plagues of that time. His legacy is small in scope: some paintings by Giorgione, which remained unfinished, were completed by a younger comrade and assistant in the workshop, Titian. However, the few paintings by Giorgione were to be a revelation to contemporaries. This is the first artist in Italy, whose secular themes decisively prevailed over the religious, determined the whole system of creativity. He created a new, deeply poetic image of the world, unusual for the Italian art of that time, with its inclination towards grandiose grandeur, monumentality, heroic intonations. In Giorgione's paintings, we see an idyllic, beautiful and simple world, full of thoughtful silence.


Giorgione (1476/1477-1510) Giorgione "Self-portrait" (1500-1510)

The art of Giorgione was a real revolution in Venetian painting, had a huge impact on contemporaries, including Titian


This image is not typical for a Renaissance portrait: the gaze of the model in the portraits of that era is usually directed directly, giving rise to a feeling of contact with the viewer. The young man looks to the side, this creates a special, melancholic atmosphere and interaction not on a rational, but on an emotional level. In this work, individual traits were successfully combined with the image of the ideal man of the Renaissance.

The soft outlines of the contours indicate that Giorgione was familiar with the sfumato technique developed by Leonardo da Vinci.

Examination of the painting in x-rays showed that initially the young man was looking at the landscape that serves as the background of the painting.

Adoration of the shepherds


The last, final period of the Venetian Renaissance is associated with the work of Veronese and Tintoretto.

P. Veronese. Paintings of the plafond of the hall of Olympus. Fresco. Around 1565

Venus and Adonis


Paolo Veronese was endowed with a heightened sense of beauty and a real love for life. On huge canvases, shining with precious colors, solved in an exquisite silvery tonality, against the backdrop of magnificent architecture, we see a colorful crowd striking with vital brightness - patricians and noble ladies in magnificent robes, soldiers and commoners, musicians, servants, dwarfs.

The picture was painted in 1562-1563. for the refectory of the monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore.



Jacopo Tintoretto

The last great master of Venice in the 16th century, Jacopo Tintoretto. A complex and rebellious nature, a seeker of new ways in art, who acutely and painfully felt the dramatic conflicts of modern reality. Tintoretto introduces a personal, and often subjective-arbitrary, beginning into its interpretation, subordinating human figures to some unknown forces that scatter and circle them. By accelerating the perspective contraction, he creates the illusion of a rapid run of space, choosing unusual points of view and intricately changing the outlines of the figures. Simple, everyday scenes are transformed by the invasion of surreal fantastic light. At the same time, the world retains its grandeur, full of echoes of great human dramas, clashes of passions and characters.


The greatest creative feat of Tintoretto was the creation of an extensive, consisting of more than twenty large wall panels and many plafond compositions, a painting cycle in Scuola di San Rocco, on which the artist worked for almost a quarter of a century - from 1564 to 1587.

According to the inexhaustible richness of artistic fantasy, according to the breadth of the world, accommodating both universal tragedy (“Golgotha”), and a miracle that transforms a poor shepherd’s hut (“The Nativity of Christ”), and the mysterious grandeur of nature (“Mary Magdalene in the Desert” ), and lofty feats of the human spirit (“Christ before Pilate”), this cycle is unparalleled in the art of Italy. Like a majestic and tragic symphony, it completes, together with other works of Tintoretto, the history of the Venetian Renaissance school of painting.

colors as they move away from the viewer's eyes, and
searched in the image of three-dimensional forms

Thanks to this, his paintings create

If Giorgione started art

In many ways, he is
successor to Giorgione. Yes, in art
it was developed by Giorgione introduced
plots borrowed from literature and
mythology, as well as landscapes and portraits. How
and Giorgione, he painted a lot of naked body,
trying to convey his trepidation and warmth.
Yet the nature of Titian's art is different.
Peculiar to the works of Giorgione
a touch of romance and dreaminess is replaced
he has a more earthly, full-blooded

"Earthly Love and Heavenly Love" (1514)

romantic scenes written by the young
Titian.
The plot of the canvas allows for many interpretations. On
the picture of two unusually similar to each other
women (one dressed and the other naked) sit on the edges

scenery.

But whatever the plan of Titian, he

amazing contrasts.

Bacchus and Ariadne 1520-1523

God Bacchus (in ancient Greek mythology Dionysus)
appears on the right. Falling in love with Ariadne from the first
glance, he gets out of the chariot with two cheetahs.
Ariadne was just thrown by the Greek
the hero Theseus on the island of Naxos - his ship is still
seen in the distance. The moment is captured on the canvas
fright of Ariadne from the sudden appearance of a god. By
legend Bacchus later took her to heaven and turned into
the constellation Corona, which is symbolically depicted
in the picture (in the sky above Ariadne).
The composition is divided diagonally into two
triangle: one is a fixed blue sky, for
which Titian used expensive lapis lazuli, with
two lovers and the second - full of movement
landscape in green and brown tones with
characters accompanying Bacchus. Interesting,
that among the figures accompanying the chariot,
one stands out, obviously inspired by
sculpture of Laocoön and his sons, found
shortly before painting the picture in 1506.

"Denarius of Caesar"

Even at the end of the 15th century
Leonardo
contrasts in
my secret
the evening is human
e nobility and
human
meanness. Titian,
sensitive
time, couldn't
ignore these
contradictions.

The plot of the picture reflects the moment when the Pharisees,
dissatisfied with the revelations on the part of Christ, decided
ruin him. But being afraid to kill Christ themselves, they decided
do it by the hands of the Romans. For this, the Pharisees invented
cunning plan. They sent one of the Pharisees to Christ with
silver coin - denarius.
The figure of Christ majestically dominates the picture, filling
the picture is almost entirely, stands out against a dark background.
If the image of Christ is dominated by the ideally sublime
beginning, then in the guise of a Pharisee a certain
his meanness, insignificance, full of vices. His hand is swollen
and sinewy, the hook-nosed profile is sharp, the face is wrinkled.
The theme of the meeting of two opposite worlds, the world
lofty ideals and reality,
as if fastens and completes, creates a kind of connection,
expressive contrast of the thin hand of Christ, which
never touches the coin pointed to by Christ,
and the powerful hand of the Pharisee, tightly clenching the silver
denarius.

It was written for the church of San Silvestro in Venice and remained
there, until in the 19th century it was not
rebuilt. "The Adoration of the Magi" is not an altarpiece, a painting
hung on the wall of the nave next to
the altar of the brotherhood of Saint Joseph.

Three magi who came from the East, following the guiding
star, they found Mary and the Child in Bethlehem. IN
renaissance painters and Veronese in particular,
often painted the house in which the Virgin Mary gave birth. This house
looks like a dilapidated building and symbolizes
Old Testament. Christ came to earth to replace him
to the New Testament. The picture shows that this "house" is attached
to the ruins of a majestic building in a classical
style with a triumphal arch in the background - an indication of
Rome. In the foreground are the Magi with their retinue. Apart from
gospel characters Veronese, as usual, introduces
