Giovanni Battista Piazzetta | Rococo Era painter

Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, also called Giambattista Piazetta, (born Feb. 13, 1682, Venice [Italy] - died April 28, 1754, Venice), painter, illustrator and designer who was one of the outstanding Venetian artists🎨 of the 18th century. His art evolved from Italian Baroque🎨 traditions of the 17th century to a Rococo manner in his mature style.

Piazzetta began his career in the studio of his father, Giacomo, a woodcarver. Soon after assisting the latter to carve the still-surviving bookcases of the library of the Church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo at Venice, he abandoned the family profession and began to study painting under Antonio Molinari.

In about 1703 he went to Bologna, where he worked in the studio of Giuseppi Maria Crespi. He was back in Venice by 1711 and continued to work there until his death.

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo | Rococo painter

The Venetian Giovanni Battista Tièpolo (1696-1770) was arguably the greatest painter of eighteenth-century Europe and the outstanding first master of the Grand Manner.

His art celebrates the imagination by transposing the world of ancient history and myth, the scriptures, and sacred legends into a grandiose, even theatrical language.

Colonna’s perspective framework for Tiepolo’s frescoes is crucial to understanding the eighteenth-century notion of painting as a staged fiction-something intended to involve the viewer on a purely imaginative level.

This was in line with theater practice of the day-especially opera.

Emily Dickinson | Se tu dovessi venire in autunno /If you were coming in the Fall

Alan King, 1952 | Massurrealism Art Movement

Se tu dovessi venire in autunno

mi leverei di torno l’estate

con un gesto stizzito ed un sorrisetto,

come fa la massaia con la mosca.

Se entro un anno potessi rivederti,

avvolgerei in gomitoli i mesi,

per poi metterli in cassetti separati -

per paura che i numeri si mescolino.

Pablo Neruda | L'amore..

Che hai, che abbiamo,

che ci accade?

Ahi il nostro amore é una corda dura

che ci lega ferendoci

e se vogliamo

uscire dalla nostra ferita,

separarci,

ci stringe un nuovo nodo e ci condanna

a dissanguarci e a bruciarci insieme.

Caspar David Friedrich | Romantic painter

The German painter Caspar David Friedrich (September 5, 1774 - May 7, 1840) was a landscape painter of the nineteenth-century German Romantic movement, of which he is now considered the most important painter.

A painter and draughtsman, Friedrich is best known for his later allegorical landscapes, which feature contemplative figures silhouetted against night skies, morning mists, barren trees, and Gothic ruins.

His primary interest as an artist was the contemplation of nature, and his often symbolic and anti-classical work seeks to convey the spiritual experiences of life.
