In the early 1400’s Florence resisted takeover by the Duke of Milan and victory fostered a spirit of freedom and exciting directions in the arts. The basis for revolutionary development was laid by Lorenzo Ghiberti, who, in 1401, won a competition to decorate the Baptistry doors with bronze reliefs. His work showed an interest in ancient art and scientific perspective that profoundly influenced his successors. Donatello, greatest sculptor of the era, imagined the body first, as did the ancients, and then covered it with draperies—unlike the elegant, unrealistic Late Gothic. He also showed realism and powerful emotion, Della Robbia followed to create spirited terra cotta reliefs. With Verrochio, last great name of the period, there is no hint of Late Gothic or even of Donatello’s restrained classicism. His figures exude love of life, passion and drama. Thus, in Florence, a freer, more modern view of art and the world was born.]]> http://www.nassaulibrary.org/BPLblog/2007/01/the_birth_of_renaissance_sculp.html http://www.nassaulibrary.org/BPLblog/2007/01/the_birth_of_renaissance_sculp.html Series Thu, 25 Jan 2007 06:16:08 -0500 Date: June 13 Time: 2:00 P.M.

Carbonara Date: Tuesday, June 10 Time: 2:00 P.M. Guiseppe Verdi (1813-1901) was the most distinguished Italian composer of opera in the 19th Century. A musical giant, he gained fame for his mastery of theatrical effects, stirring melodies, and for his complex orchestration. Aida, the last opera in Verdi’s richly productive second period, exhibits these qualities in full measure. It was commissioned by the Khedive of Egypt to celebrate the opening of the Suez Canal. First performed in Cairo in 1871, the opera is written in the grand manner and is outstanding for its drama, pageantry, powerful emotional scenes, special effects, and rich harmonies. Both as a play and as music, it is always a magnificent “show,” and it displays the influence of Wagner in its exciting unity of score and text. Enjoy the soaring music and resounding arias and discover why this opera is still such an outstanding favorite.]]> http://www.nassaulibrary.org/BPLblog/2007/01/verdi_and_aida.html http://www.nassaulibrary.org/BPLblog/2007/01/verdi_and_aida.html Series Thu, 25 Jan 2007 06:10:08 -0500
