The frescoes of Peruzzi, Raphael and Sodoma still dazzle visitors to the Villa Farnesina, but they survive in a stripped-down environment bereft of its landscape, sealed so it cannot breathe. Turner takes you outside that box, restoring these canonical images to their original context, when each element joined in a productive conversation. He is the first to reconstruct the architect-painter Peruzzi's original, well-proportioned, well-appointed building and to re-visualize his lost façade decoration‒erotic scenes and mythological figures who make it come alive and soar upward. More comprehensively than any previous scholar, he reintegrates painting, sculpture, architecture, garden design, topographical prints and drawings, archaeological discoveries and literature from the brilliant circle around the patron Agostino Chigi, the powerful banker who 'loved all virtuosi' and commissioned his villa-palazzo from the best talents in multiple arts. It can now be understood as a Palace of Venus, celebrating aesthetic, social and erotic pleasure.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ... K must go down very far in ancient literature to find the name and the adventures of Psyche. Apuleius, a writer of the Antoniue period, in his curious and somewhat strange book, the Metamorphoses, tells this marvellous story, and he gives it rather as a fairy tale than as a religious legend. An old woman, half crazy, half tipsy, in order to console a young girl ravished by brigands on her wedding day, tells this tale of another maiden's sorrows and troubles. The writer himself, changed into an ass for the occasion, hears the story, and regrets having no tablets or stylet in order to give an exact account of the pretty fable. This is the substance of the old woman's narration. It begins like all fairy tales: "There was once upon a time a king and a queen. . ." This king and this cpueen had three beautiful daughters; but Psyche, the youngest of the sisters, was by far the most beautiful. Never had so marvellous a creature been seen upon earth. Men came from all countries to admire her; but such was this beauty's perfection, that she inspired admiration rather than love. In her honour the temples of Venus were deserted; but her elder sisters married kings, and no one dared to claim her hand. Psyche mourned greatly over the fatal gift bestowed upon her. Venus, whose temples were deserted, furious that a mortal maiden should thus insult her immortal glory, calls upon her son to chastise this audacious young girl; she orders him to wound her with his arrows, to cause her to love the most hideous among men, the most repugnant, the most horrible to look upon. Cupid sees Psyche, but not to hate her. Instead of avenging; his mother's wrongs, he determines to have her as his wife. The parents consult the oracle, who declares that Psyche is not...

Excerpt from Raphael and the Villa Farnesina Renaissance, which all tourists have visited or have attempted to visit, called the Villa Farnesina. The place where this building stands was once occupied by fine gardens belonging to the Emperor Geta, Of tragic memory. He was co-heir with his brother Caracalla to the empire Of the Caesars. But the Roman empire was not in those days a thing to be owned in common. The association was broken by a fratricide, Of which, perhaps, these very gardens were the scene.

This survey explores how and why Romans of the late Republic and early Principate were fascinated with landscaped nature. Thematic discussions and case studies work through what 'landscape' represented and how studying Roman identity in terms of place, environment and the natural world helps us better to understand Rome itself.

Today few would think of astronomy and astrology as fields related to theology. Fewer still would know that physically absorbing planetary rays was once considered to have medical and psychological effects. But this was the understanding of light radiation held by certain natural philosophers of early modern Europe, and that, argues Mary Quinlan-McGrath, was why educated people of the Renaissance commissioned artworks centered on astrological themes and practices. Influences is the first book to reveal how important Renaissance artworks were designed to be not only beautiful but also—perhaps even primarily—functional. From the fresco cycles at Caprarola, to the Vatican’s Sala dei Pontefici, to the Villa Farnesina, these great works were commissioned to selectively capture and then transmit celestial radiation, influencing the bodies and minds of their audiences. Quinlan-McGrath examines the sophisticated logic behind these theories and practices and, along the way, sheds light on early creation theory; the relationship between astrology and natural theology; and the protochemistry, physics, and mathematics of rays. An original and intellectually stimulating study, Influences adds a new dimension to the understanding of aesthetics among Renaissance patrons and a new meaning to the seductive powers of art.
