Abstract: Andrea Mantegna (c. 1431–1506) and Giovanni Bellini (active c. 1459; died 1516) each produced groundbreaking paintings, marked by pictorial and technical innovations, that are among the masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance. Exploring the fruitful dynamic between Mantegna’s inventive compositional approach and interest in classical antiquity and Bellini’s passion for landscape painting, this fascinating volume examines how these two artists, who were also brothers-in-law, influenced and responded to each other’s work. Full of new insights and captivating juxtapositions—including comparisons of each of the artist’s depictions of the Agony in the Garden and the Presentation to the Temple—this study reveals that neither Mantegna’s nor Bellini’s achievements can be fully understood in isolation and that their continuous creative exchanges shaped the work of both.

Taccuino. Milano, Rizzoli 1983, cm.14x22, pp.173, brossura con copertina figurata a colori. Ho letto, non ricordo dove, la più esauriente lezione di saggezza che si possa dare. Era un aneddoto di sei o sette righe. Lo trascrivo a memoria: Un professore di filosofia sale in cattedra e, prima di iniziare la lezione, toglie dalla cartella un grande foglio bianco con una piccola macchia d’inchiostro nel mezzo. Rivolto agli studenti domanda: “Che cosa vedete qui?”. “Una macchia d’inchiostro”, risponde qualcuno. “Bene”, continua il professore, “così sono gli uomini: vedono soltanto le macchie, anche le più piccole, e non il grande e stupendo foglio bianco che è la vita”.
Usato, accettabile
Note: Evidenti gore ai tagli e a diverse pagine fuori testo. Imperfeizoni e tracce d'uso. Il testo risulta comunque feruibile nella sua interezza.
