Abstract

Botanico, zoologo, esploratore, antropologo: a cavallo tra la seconda metà del XIX secolo e i primi decenni del XX Odoardo Beccari fu tutto questo e altro ancora. La sua fama è tuttora legata soprattutto alle spedizioni scientifiche nel Sud-Est asiatico, in particolare in Borneo, e ai lavori sulle Palme, ma anche alla sua abilità di disegnatore e di fotografo. Il materiale conservato nel suo archivio personale è di fondamentale importanza per ricostruire tanto il percorso scientifico dello studioso quanto le vicende personali dell'uomo. Questo inventario permette finalmente di orientarsi e muoversi con sicurezza in una mole documentaria notevole per quantità e varietà tipologica: corrispondenza, appunti e materiali preparatori, manoscritti in molteplici redazioni, taccuini di viaggio, schizzi cartografici, disegni e fotografie.

Abstract

This book examines the career of the Brussels artist Michael Sweerts through an examination of the artistic, intellectual and cultural contexts that shaped his work and academy in the Netherlands and Italy in the seventeenth century.0The Flemish artist Michael Sweerts has long been considered one of the most fascinating and enigmatic painters of the seventeenth century. His peripatetic career, which stretched from his native Brussels to Rome, and later Amsterdam and the Far East, included work for the papal family and the foundation of a drawing academy in the Southern Netherlands. Despite this rich and varied career, Sweerts has yet to be fully examined within the artistic, intellectual and cultural contexts of Brussels and Rome in the seventeenth century. This book aims to retrace the artistic traditions that shaped Sweerts development and evolution as a painter, etcher and teacher, firmly situating him at the crossroads of artistic exchange between the Netherlands and Italy. The author demonstrates how Sweerts responded to contemporary notions of artistic practice and pedagogy in his work, and how he played a critical role in the formation of a Netherlandish academic tradition.

Abstract

Florence, années 1860. Un groupe de jeunes peintres révoltés, en lutte contre l'académisme, se réunit au Cafre Michelangiolo, théâtre de vibrants débats politiques, artistiques et philosophiques. Les macchiaioli, littéralement les " tachistes " - désignation employée péjorativement dans la presse en 1862, puis finalement adoptée par les artistes eux-mêmes -, proposent une conception originale de l'espace panoramique, travaillant sur des formats parfois hors norme qui " frisent la miniature ". Par la présence de touches apparentes traitées comme des taches et l'importance accordée à la lumière, ils opèrent une véritable révolution esthétique. Scènes de la vie paysanne, paysages toscans, scènes de genre sont autant de sujets privilégiés par ces peintres qui, combattants pour l'Unité italienne, ont aussi traduit sur leurs toiles leur vision du Risorgimento. Cet ouvrage se propose de retracer le parcours de ces artistes méconnus du public français, et aujourd'hui considérés comme les initiateurs de la peinture moderne italienne.
