Document Summary
Angels: raphael, tintoretto, and titian 11/21/2016 3:13:00 pm. The fact of raphael"s comparatively early death would set into motion and historiographical systems different from those dealing with michelangelo and leonardo and their many decades of life, lived human experience, and artistic production. Angels and the representation of angels in the visual arts offer an idea opportunity to reconsider the changes in renaissance naturalism. When moving away from the medieval goldground system and some of its more symbolic renditions of angels, renaissance angels can appear in a strong, bodily, concrete hyperrealism (raphael) or in an almost transparent, ethereal format (tintoretto). A strong codification of images and meaning becomes widely available through printed books such as cesare ripa"s iconologia, first edition published in 1593. Raphael: the sistine madonna, 1512, today in dresden, germany, self-portrait, (silverpoint drawing) ca. 1499: portrait of a lady with a unicorn, ca. Rome: sacra conversazione with st. cecilia, 1514, pinacoteca.
