Renaissance Artists | Sitemap

Renaissance - French word meaning rebirth, now used in English to describe the great revival of art that took place in Italy from about 1400 under the influence of the rediscovery of classical art and culture.

The Renaissance reached its peak (known as the High Renaissance) in the short period from about 1500-1530 in the work of Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael.

The Renaissance style then underwent a myriad of successive transformations in Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism, and the Romantic movement.

Rodolfo Amoedo (11 December 1857, Salvador - 31 May 1941, Rio de Janeiro) was a Brazilian painter🎨, designer and decorator.

His interest in art and decoration began when a family friend (who was a lyricist) invited him to do work on the now defunct Teatro São Pedro.

In 1873, he enrolled at the "Liceu de Artes e Ofícios do Rio de Janeiro", where he studied with Victor Meirelles.

The following year, he transferred to the Academia Imperial de Belas Artes.

His teachers there included João Zeferino da Costa, Agostinho José da Mota and the sculptor Francisco Manuel Chaves Pinheiro.

He won a gold medal at the "Exposição Nacional Comemorativa do 1º Centenário da Abertura dos Portos do Brasil" (1908).

He later became a Professor at the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes (ENBA), where he encouraged students to research the various process of painting (tempera, encaustic, watercolor etc.).

He also served as Vice-Director and Acting Director on several occasions.

In addition to his canvases, he painted panels for the Supremo Tribunal Federal in 1909, the Biblioteca Nacional and the Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro in 1916.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau | The Mimosa Flower, 1899

William-Adolphe Bouguereau | The Mimosa Flower, 1899

In February 1899, the French🎨 painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905)🎨 and his wife travelled with their son Paul to Menton, a small town on the French Riviera.

The journey was on the advice of Paul's doctors, who hoped the sea air would improve his recently diagnosed tuberculosis.

Paul (then 30) left behind his law practice, and Bouguereau put his painting aside as they settled into the elegant Hôtel des Îles Britanniques.

Though initially planned to last a month, the trip was extended week by week, and Bouguereau grew anxious to paint, writing to a friend "I finally found a room on the north side of the hotel and a few little models, and set to work" (as quoted from a letter dated March 1, 1899 in Bartoli, p. 394).

The artist went on to complete a series of six compositions including the first, Mimosa, and le Citron (sold in these rooms, November 04, 2011, lot 47, illustrated), which feature a young model holding one of the region's vibrant botanicals.

In the present work, the mimosa's distinctive fern-like stalk is lightly grasped in the girl's fingers, suggesting her mindfulness of the delicate blossoms, their sunny, yellow color complimented by the glinting gold of her small hoop earrings and blond hair.

The mimosa plant was brought to Europe from the southern hemisphere, and continued to bloom in January and February, its cheerful color and lovely scent a welcome respite from winter and a promise of the joys of spring; in the present work it is a poignant symbol for the artist tending to his ailing son. | © Sotheby's

Nel febbraio del 1899, William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905)🎨 e sua moglie viaggiarono con il loro figlio Paul a Mentone, una piccola città della Costa Azzurra. Il viaggio era su consiglio dei medici di Paul, che speravano che l'aria di mare avrebbe migliorato la sua tubercolosi diagnosticata di recente.

Paul (allora 30) lasciò il suo studio legale, e Bouguereau mise da parte il dipinto mentre si sistemavano nell'elegante Hôtel des Îles Britanniques (Damien Bartoli con Frederick Ross, William Bouguereau, La sua vita e il lavoro, New York, 2010, p. 394).

Anche se inizialmente era programmato per durare un mese, il viaggio è stato esteso di settimana in settimana, e Bouguereau è diventato ansioso di dipingere, scrivendo ad un amico:

"Ho finalmente trovato una stanza sul lato nord dell'hotel e con alcuni piccoli modelli, e mi sono messo al lavoro".

L'artista ha continuato a completare una serie di sei composizioni tra cui la prima, Mimosa e le Citron, che presenta una giovane modella che tiene in mano uno dei vivaci botanici della regione.

Nel presente lavoro, il caratteristico gambo simile ad una felce è leggermente afferrato nelle dita della ragazza, suggerendo la sua consapevolezza dei delicati fiori, il loro colore giallo solare, complimentato dall'oro scintillante dei suoi piccoli orecchini a cerchio e capelli biondi.

La pianta della mimosa fu portata in Europa dall'emisfero australe, e continuò a fiorire in gennaio e febbraio, il suo colore allegro ed il profumo delizioso di una piacevole tregua dall'inverno e la promessa delle gioie della primavera; nel presente lavoro è un simbolo commovente per l'artista che tende al figlio malato. | © Sotheby's

Otto Mueller | Expressionist painter

Otto Müeller (born 1874, Liebau, Ger. - died Sept. 24, 1930, Breslau, Ger.), German painter🎨 and printmaker who became a member of the Expressionist movement.

He is especially known for his characteristic paintings of gypsy women.

When, in 1910, he joined Die Brücke, a Dresden-based group of Expressionist artists, his work still displayed the early influence of the curvilinear art of Jugendstil, the German Art Nouveau movement.

But his radically elongated figures reveal his affinity for the work of the Expressionist sculptor Wilhelm Lehmbruck.

He taught at the Breslau Academy from 1919 until his death. Like the work of many other modern German artists, his was declared “decadent” when the Nazis gained power in Germany in 1933. | © Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
