Giacomo Serpotta tra sacro e profano
2022
We shall be taking an innovative and original approach in our examination of the insuperable figure of Giacomo Serpotta, an outstanding Sicilian stucco sculptor of the 18th century. The complete artistic output of Giacomo Serpotta is traced, oscillating between the sacred and the profane in the sculptural adornment of many churches and oratories. Here, Giacomo Serpotta shifts from the Baroque to Rococo, originating a sculptural art that is profoundly innovative in its language and symbology. Formal reading and chromatic-spatial games are intertwined with the symbolic in the light of significant essays by Carl Gustav Jung, Martin Heidegger and Carlo Giulio Argan
Reconsidering authorship in the Ciceronian corpus through computational authorship attribution
2019
In recent years, methods of computational authorship attribution have offered promising results for the reattribution of classical texts. We use and further develop these methods to verify the authorship of several texts belonging or related to the Ciceronian corpus: Rhetorica ad C. Herennium, De inventione, De optimo genere oratorum, and Commentariolum petitionis. We use two classifiers, Support Vector Machine and Convolutional Neural Network, of which the latter is more accurate except in regard to certain aspects of vocabulary. The most important of our results is that Commentariolum petitionis seems to be authored by Marcus Cicero, not by his brother Quintus. Negli ultimi anni metodi co…
Octavien à la veille d’Actium chez Dion Cassius (L, 24-30 ): haranguer les troupes en diffamant l’adversaire
2014
1. Le compte-rendu des arguments Parmi les nombreuses interventions oratoires insérées dans l’œuvre de Dion Cassius qui montrent avant tout son intérêt à utiliser la rhétorique pour mettre au point des questions importantes sur le plan éthique-politique, en particulier à travers les discours tenus par certains personnages-clefs de l’histoire romaine, on peut distinguer la harangue prononcée devant ses troupes par Octavien à la veille de la bataille d’Actium en 31 av. J.-C. Quoiqu’il ne soit p...
Voglio tempo. Reflejos emblemáticos en Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno de Benedetto Pamphilij y Georg Friedrich Handel.
2014
ABSTRACT: Allegorical and emblematic images do not appear exclusively in visual literature: Genres such as the Italian or the Italian-inspired Counter-Reformation oratorios, cantatas and sacred or moral operas often contain images quite similar in form and function to those published in the Seventeenth and early Eighteenth-century European collections of emblems. This article analyses some of these parallelisms in the particular case of Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno (c. 1707), by the librettist and patron of the arts Cardinal Benedetto Pamphilj and the composer Georg Friedrich Handel. KEYWORDS: Emblem, Opera, Oratorio, Academy, Discourse, Allegory, Rhetoric, Aural, Visual, Pamphilj,…
Un’esperienza di rilevamento architettonico con tecniche integrate
2004
Lo studio esposto riguarda la sperimentazione sulle tecniche per il rilevamento e la rappresentazione di manufatti architettonici caratterizzati dalla presenza di una ricca decorazione scultorea. In particolare, è stata condotta una applicazione sulla parete di ingresso dell’Oratorio del SS. Rosario presso la chiesa di Santa Cita, nel centro storico di Palermo. Nel corso dello studio sono stati messi a confronto ed integrati i dati provenienti dal rilevamento diretto, topografico, fotogrammetrico, e da acquisizioni eseguite con laser a scansione. This paper is addressed to test suitable techniques for surveying and restitution of architectural surfaces decorated with free-form masses (i.e. …
Marka Tullija Cicerōna runas pret Katilīnu
1939
"Pirmā runa, ko viņš teica senātā, sašutuma pārņemts, kad ieraudzīja tur ieradušos Katilīnu, ir tulkota pilnīgi. Pārējās centos pēc iespējas izsmeļoši atstāstīt. Visām runām pievienoju komentārus, kādus man likās nepieciešami, lai tās ilustrētu, beigās ziņas par Cicerōna dzīvi un darbiem kā arī vēsturiskus datus par Katilīnas sazvērestību." / sastādītājs un komentētājs Verners Ābele/
Giacomo Serpotta e il "pareggiamento delle arti": la decorazione degli oratori fra manipolazione vitalistica e vocazione classicista
2009
ABSTRACT GIACOMO SERPOTTA AND THE “EQUALIZATION OF THE ARTS”: DECORATION OF THE ORATORIES BETWEEN VITALISTIC MANIPULATION AND CLASSICIST VOCATION Ettore Sessa The value of the whole of Giacomo Serpotta's artistic vision in the orchestration of the figu¬rative apparatuses of his oratories was certainly one of the principal primers of his historical-critical raising in the modernist period. In 1901 Mauceri and in 1911 Ricci and Basile heighten a profile of it, however synthetic, of angling and above all of different breath from the rediscovery realized in positivist age. Classifiable, in fact, among the eighteenth century precedents of Gesamtkunstwerk aesthetical plant (according to a rather …
Il bianco e l'oro
2019
Giacomo Serpotta (1656-1732) was a brilliant and highly skilled master of the sculptural art of stucco throughout Europe. He was born in poverty in Palermo, and his father was imprisoned shortly after he was born. The canonical critic and historian Antonio Mongitore praised him for his work and for his confident and almost frantic style of drawing, and for his considerable dilicatezza (sensitivity). He defined Serpottaan“outstandingstuccoist”.Asimilaropinion comes from abbot Gioacchino Di Marzo, who greatly praised Serpotta in his essential essay entitled “The Gaginis and sculpture in Sicily”, published in 1980, and recognised the undoubted influence of the Gagini school, which began with h…
«L'arte giottesca portata al suo apogeo»: l'Oratorio di San Giorgio nella discussione dei conoscitori (1837-1846)
2021
The Nineteenth-Century rediscovery of the Oratory of S. Giorgio offers the opportunity to question the conservation methods, historical analysis and creative reception of fourteenth-century painting. This essay reconstructs the historical circumstances of the discovery of Altichiero’s frescoes and the consequent discussions among connoisseurs concerning the autography and the cultural value of the same. The protagonists of this scholarly discussion - the German art historian Ernst Förster (1800-1885) and his Italian colleague Pietro Selvatico Estense (1803-1880) - see the Paduan fresco cycle as a model for both modern draughtsmanship and large-scale fresco decoration. This dualistic charact…
