Kia Vahland. The Da Vinci Women: The Untold Feminist Power of Leonardo's Art
Этот новый биографический взгляд на Леонардо да Винчи исследует новаторское изображение женщин, созданное мастером эпохи Возрождения, которое навсегда изменило способ изображения женских форм. Леонардо да Винчи был революционным мыслителем, художником и изобретателем, о котором писали и прославляли на протяжении веков. Менее известным, однако, является его революционное и вдохновляющее изображение современной женщины за несколько столетий до первых женских освободительных движений. До да Винчи портреты женщин в Италии были неподвижными, безличными и в основном изображались в профиль. Леонардо раздвинул границы изображения женщин, заставив несколько своих героев-женщин, в том числе его Мону Лизу, смотреть на зрителя, давая им власть, которая в то время была скрыта от женщин. Историк искусства и журналист Киа Валанд рассказывает всю жизнь Леонардо, начиная с 15 апреля. , 1452 г., внебрачным ребенком, рожденным в Винчи, до своей смерти 2 мая 1519 г. во французском замке фон Клу. Включено 80 эскизов и картин, демонстрирующих подход Леонардо к женской форме (включая анатомические зарисовки рождения), а также другие произведения искусства, а также примеры других художников 15 и 16 веков. Валанд объясняет, как такие художники, как Рафаэль, Джорджоне и молодой Титан, находились под влиянием женщин да Винчи, в то время как Микеланджело, главный соперник да Винчи, создавал мужские образы женщин, противоречащие изображениям Леонардо.This new biographical look at Leonardo da Vinci explores the Renaissance master's groundbreaking portrayal of women which forever changed the way the female form is depicted.Leonardo da Vinci was a revolutionary thinker, artist, and inventor who has been written about and celebrated for centuries. Lesser known, however, is his revolutionary and empowering portrayal of the modern female centuries before the first women's liberation movements.Before da Vinci, portraits of women in Italy were still, impersonal, and mostly shown in profile. Leonardo pushed the boundaries of female depiction having several of his female subjects, including his Mona Lisa, gaze at the viewer, giving them an authority which was withheld from women at the time.Art historian and journalist Kia Vahland recounts Leonardo's entire life from April 15, 1452, as a child born out of wedlock in Vinci up through his death on May 2, 1519, in the French castle of von Cloux. Included throughout are 80 sketches and paintings showcasing Leonardo's approach to the female form (including anatomical sketches of birth) and other artwork as well as examples from other artists from the 15th and 16th centuries. Vahland explains how artists like Raphael, Giorgione, and the young Titan were influenced by da Vinci's women while Michelangelo, da Vinci's main rival, created masculine images of woman that counters Leonardo's depictions.

Isaacson W. Leonardo Da Vinci
The creator of Salvator Mundi (Saviour of the World) officially sold at auction in New York in November 2017 for the record-breaking sum of GBP341 million. He was historys most creative genius. What secrets can he teach us? Based on thousands of pages from Leonardos astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardos genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy. He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and technology. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him historys most creative genius. His creativity, like that of other great innovators, came from having wide-ranging passions. He peeled flesh off the faces of cadavers, drew the muscles that move the lips, and then painted historys most memorable smile. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. Isaacson also describes how Leonardos lifelong enthusiasm for staging theatrical productions informed his paintings and inventions. Leonardos delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance of instilling, both in ourselves and our children, not just received knowledge but a willingness to question it-to be imaginative and, like talented misfits and rebels in any era, to think different.
