Galerie des Offices de Florence Le terme du musée, au temps de Laurent de Magnifique (1449-1492) désignait sa collection de sculptures antiques dans le jardin de Saint-Marc. Giorgio Vasari rapportera que des peintres comme Léonard de Vinci et Michel-Ange y viendront "pour la beauté, l'étude et le plaisir". La construction de l'édifice appelé les Offices remonte à 1560. Côme Ier de Médicis (1519-1574) demandera à Vasari de lui dessiner un grand palais à deux ailes, "sur le fleuve et presque en l'air", pour y héberger les treize Magistratures, autrement dit les bureaux (uffizi) administratifs et judiciaires du duché de Toscane. Le même architecte reliera, cinq années plus tard, ces bureaux au palais Pitti, la résidence des Médicis, par un corridor qui traversera l'Arno en passant au-dessus des échoppes du Ponte Vecchio.
Léonard de Vinci - Italien - Langues en ligne Léonard de Vinci, ingénieur et savant Plus qu'un génial précurseur, Léonard de Vinci fut avant tout un homme de son temps, passionné par les nouvelles conceptions du monde comme par les innovations en matière de sciences et de techniques. Mathématiques, zoologie, géographie, anatomie, mécanique... aucun domaine n'échappe à son insatiable curiosité. Les centaines de dessins qui remplissent ses codex témoignent des recherches qu'il mena, souvent sous l'impulsion des princes, parfois à la demande des corporations, au service desquels il mit son extraordinaire énergie créatrice. A1-A2 (Primaire-6e) Léonard de Vinci, le peintre et l’inventeur Dans cette séquence pédagogique, on travaille sur deux facettes du personnage : Léonard, le peintre, à travers son autoportrait et l’universellement célèbre Joconde, et Léonard, l’inventeur, qui rêvait de voler. B1-B2 (Lycée) Léonard de Vinci, scientifique visionnaire
Leonardo da Vinci | Renaissance Man | Artist Leonardo got his start as an artist around 1469, when his father apprenticed him to the fabled workshop of Verocchio. Verocchio's specialty was perspective, which artists had only recently begun to get the hang of, and Leonardo quickly mastered its challenges. In fact, Leonardo quickly surpassed Verocchio, and by the time he was in his early twenties he was downright famous. Renaissance Italy was centuries away from our culture of photographs and cinema, but Leonardo nevertheless sought a universal language in painting. With perspective and other realistic elements, Leonardo tried to create faithful renditions of life. In a culture previously dominated by highly figurative and downright strange religious paintings, Leonardo's desire to paint things realistically was bold and fresh. No slouch when it came to the techniques of the day, Leonardo went beyond his teaching by making a scientific study of light and shadow in nature.

Histoire des Arts à JBC Lines and Colors: a blog about drawing, painting, illustration, comics, concept art and other visual arts » The Face of Leonardo? It has long been assumed that the red chalk drawing shown above is a self-portrait by Leonardo da Vinci. It certainly looks like what we expect or want the great Renaissance artist to look like, his penetrating deep-set eyes gazing out at us from distant past, weighted with the perhaps painful wisdom of great insight into the nature of the world and the ways of man; but its status as a self portrait has been called into question in recent years by prominent art historians; leading to the inevitable question of whether we really know what Leonardo looked like. There are even those who claim, based on the assumption that the above image is a self-portrait, that similarities between key points in the facial structure show that the enigmatic face of the Mona Lisa could have been modeled on his own. I don’t buy that one, but I have always accepted the above image as a self portrait, mainly because I recognize in it that “look” that I’ve seen in hundreds of self-portraits.

Partners The Museum of Online Museums (MoOM) Exceptional exhibits are highlighted each quarter. Selections from previous seasons are archived here. Please consider joining our MoOM Board of Directors won't you? While even the most daring critic would find it difficult to describe computer viruses as "art," there's a certain bizarre artistry mixed among the prankster-ism and the outright cruelty of their creators. Back in the day my brand was the TDK SA 90, although the Maxell XLII would do in a pinch. Between 1979 and 2010 Sony sold 400 million Walkmen and the compact design and engineering of these mechanically complicated and ingenious devices still feels relevant. Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum has embraced the web like no other major arts institution. 150,000 works are beautifully scanned and available for "patrons" to search, download, remix, and pretty much do with whatever they like. Sometimes the name of a site is all we need to know that it belongs in The MoOM. like this for example, The Space Food Hall of Fame from NASA.
Musée Virtuel : Art et Culture Art Contextually it’s pivotal, an artistic exploration of the metaphysical, developed in the digital; all rhymes aside, Los Angeles based artist Anthony Gargasz,’s new collection ‘Metallic Faces’ simply cannot be ignored for these three reasons. Fifteen years ago there was no such thing as ‘Photoshop art’. The thought that art could be generated on computers would have made traditionalists cringe. However, what Anthony has managed to achieve by using his background in digital design is breathtaking and its art in the finest sense of the word. His work is far more than simply ‘generated’, instead it’s an array of elaborate details carefully constructed, layer upon layer to create clean and unique imagery. Anthony follows the exact same artistic progression as somebody who paints, sculpts or draws yet the main point of difference is that his tools are a keyboard, mouse and drawing tablet. His work does what good art should do, it takes familiarity and makes you question it.
