    Trattato della Pittura - Parte prima /21

Dice il poeta che la sua scienza è invenzione e misura; e questo è il semplice corpo di poesia, invenzione di materia, e misura ne' versi, e che essa si veste poi di tutte le scienze. Al quale risponde il pittore avere i medesimi obblighi nella scienza della pittura, cioè invenzione e misura; invenzione nella materia, ch'egli deve fingere, e misura nelle cose dipinte, acciocché non sieno sproporzionate; ma ch'ei non si veste tali tre scienze, anzi, che le altre in gran parte si vestono della pittura, come l'astrologia, che nulla fa senza la prospettiva, la quale è principal membro di essa pittura, cioè l'astrologia matematica, non dico della fallace giudiciale, perdonimi chi per mezzo degli sciocchi ne vive.

Portando il dí del natale del re Mattia un poeta un'opera fattagli in laude del giorno ch'esso re era nato a benefizio del mondo, ed un pittore presentandogli un ritratto della sua innamorata, subito il re rinchiuse il libro del poeta, e voltossi alla pittura, ed a quella fermò la vista con grande ammirazione. Allora il poeta forte isdegnato disse: O re, leggi, leggi, e sentirai cosa di maggior sostanza che una muta pittura.

    Trattato della Pittura - Parte prima /22

Tu dici, o pittore, che la tua arte è adorata, ma non imputare a te tal virtú, ma alla cosa di che tal pittura è rappresentatrice.
Qui il pittore risponde: O tu, poeta, che ti fai ancora tu imitatore, perché non rappresenti tu colle tue parole cose che le lettere tue contenitrici di tali parole ancora esse sieno adorate?
Ma la natura ha piú favorito il pittore che il poeta, e meritamente le opere del favorito debbono essere piú onorate, che quelle di chi non è in favore.

Trattato della Pittura- Parte prima /24

Poiché noi abbiamo concluso la poesia essere in sommo grado di comprensione ai ciechi, e che la pittura fa il medesimo ai sordi, noi diremo tanto di piú valere la pittura che la poesia, quanto la pittura serve a miglior senso e piú nobile che la poesia, la qual nobiltà è provata esser tripla alla nobiltà di tre altri sensi; perché è stato eletto di volere piuttosto perdere l'udito ed odorato e tatto, che il senso del vedere; perché chi perde il vedere, perde la veduta e bellezza dell'universo, e resta a similitudine di uno che sia chiuso in vita in una sepoltura, nella quale abbia moto e vita.

Tieni sempre presente che la pelle fa le rughe,
i capelli diventano bianchi,
i giorni si trasformano in anni.
Però ciò che é importante non cambia;
la tua forza e la tua convinzione non hanno età.
Il tuo spirito e` la colla di qualsiasi tela di ragno.
Dietro ogni linea di arrivo c`e` una linea di partenza.
Dietro ogni successo c`e` un`altra delusione.

"Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss" is a sculpture by Antonio Canova first commissioned in 1787 by Colonel John Campbell. It is regarded as a masterpiece of Neoclassical sculpture, but shows the mythological lovers at a moment of great emotion, characteristic of the emerging movement of Romanticism. It represents the god Cupid in the height of love and tenderness, immediately after awakening the lifeless Psyche with a kiss. The story of Cupid and Psyche is taken from Lucius Apuleius' Latin novel The Golden Ass and was popular in art.

The manneristic celebrated group Rape of the Sabines by the Flemish artist Jean Boulogne, better known as Giambologna (1529-1608), is part of the statuary under the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence’s Piazza Signoria.
The massive statue is 4.10 meters high (statues became much bigger after Michelangelo’s David) and depicts a young man lifting a girl up over his shoulder, as an older man is crouched at his feet in complete dismay. For this reason, the statue is also known as the "Three ages of Man". At the base of the statue there is a bronze plaque that depicts scenes of the abduction of the Sabine women in bas-reliefs.

The Rape of Polyxena is a marble statue located in the Loggia dei Lanzi, the  open-air museum in Florence, Italy’s Piazza della Signoria.
It was sculpted in 1868 by Italian sculptor who worked chiefly in the Romantic style, Pio Fedi (1815-1892), but it was placed alongside several sculptures from the Renaissance. The Rape of Polyxena embodies Hellenistic, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassicist mannerisms regarding its style and theme. Fedi intricately blended multiple styles and stories in order to construct The Rape of Polyxena. The most prominent literary sources of the Greek legend concerning Polyxena are Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Euripides’ Hecuba and Bocaccio’s Famous Women. This project discusses the various sources of the scene presented and the different sculptures that may have inspired Fedi to create his work.

The marble group of Hercules and the Centaur Nessus, was completed in 1599 by Flemish sculptor Giambologna, born Jean Boulogne (1529-1608). The sculpture was carved, impressively, from a single block of marble by Giambologna and it sits in the open-air gallery Loggia dei Lanzi on the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, among the square's other famous marble occupants.
Showing an advanced understanding of anatomy - visible in Hercules' rib cage, showing through his taut skin and the veined legs of the centaur, poised in battle - Giambologna's statue is a powerful evocation of the strength of mortal man.

Lorenzo Bartolini | Neoclassical sculptor

Lorenzo Bartolini (7 January 1777 - 20 January 1850) has been recognised as one of the great sculptors of Europe. His style is quite different from the traditional Neo-Classical style of Antonio Canova and Bertel Thorvaldsen, because it is not based on the antique or on standard Academic principles. He was a controversial and polemical artist. His fascinating life has all the drama of a novel by Stendhal. He was proud and independent; a rebel, revolutionary and republican. At Paris he became Napoleonist and remained so all his life. His views were always strong and he was inclined to quarrel, even with friends. Today there can be few connoisseurs who do not appreciate the beauty and quality of his works. | © Sotheby's

William Powell Frith (1819-1909) was British painter. The few pictures that made Frith's reputation are of contemporary subjects. These started, tentatively, with a picture of a servant girl (c. 1853), which was engraved with the saleable title of Sherry Sir?
Frith produced his first ambitious modern-life subject: Life at the Seaside (or Ramsgate Sands, exh. RA 1854; London, Buckingham Pal., Royal Col.).. Its purchase by Queen Victoria encouraged Frith to produce the equally popular Derby Day (exh. RA 1858; London, Tate) and the Railway Station (1862; Egham, U. London, Royal Holloway & Bedford New Coll.).

Italian translation ➦ William Shakespeare ~ I Sonetti, 1609

Lorado Zadoc Taf (1860-1936) The Solitude of the Soul

Sonnet I
From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st thy light'st flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament
And only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within thine own bud buriest thy content
And, tender churl, makest waste in niggarding.
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.
