Antique Painting Flemish Landscape Oil on Hardboard XVI Century

Oil on walnut board. Flemish school of the 16th century. The painting presents a landscape characterized by a tall leafy plant in the centre, which vertically divides the scene into two parts, rising from the brown and dark earth in the foreground, towards the horizon of wooded blue hills, which then fade into a chromatic continuum in the sky above, interrupted by the thick foliage of the tree. The scene in the foreground is animated by various figurines of walking characters, scattered across the countryside. The chromatic choices are peculiar, the browns and blues, which together with the type of landscape and the figures refer to Flemish painting; moreover, the use of a walnut panel testifies to a Flemish artist working in Italy, where this pictorial support, unusual in Northern Europe, was used. The painting is presented in a contemporary frame.

The Penitent Magdalene and St. John the Baptist

Oil on slate. Two examples of oil painting on stone are proposed here, a pictorial genre that was particularly popular in the Venetian Republic between the 16th and 17th centuries, in its form of oil painting on blackboard or touchstone. The choice of such a dark stone as a background is not only linked to practical reasons (the proximity of the mines of Brescia and Val Brembana), but, as our two works clearly demonstrate, the emergence of the figures from the dark background responds to the light also full to the new needs of the painting of the time, which in the climate of the Counter-Reformation, tended to express not only the idealized existential certainties of the full Renaissance, but also the anxieties and the opening up to new phases, already tending with Tintoretto towards greater attention to reality and luministic contrasts, to then flow overwhelmingly into seventeenth-century research strongly focused on the contrasting combination of light and shadow. The two works presented here, well within the production of the Venetian area of ​​the first decades of the 17th century, propose two figures of saints, both hermits, placed on a dark, barely visible naturalistic background. The figure of Magdalene emerges from the darkness, leaning to follow the curve of the stone support; she is depicted looking questioningly towards the darkness, as if in a listening attitude, her left hand raised and the other resting on the remarkably shortened "memento mori". In front of her a scourge and the jar of ointment. Painted en pendant, Saint John the Baptist is represented as a young man, with a lamb at his feet, in his hand the processional cross with the banner "ecce agnus dei", while with his right hand he draws from the water source, recalling the episode that will see Jesus Christ baptized. In both paintings the figures stand out in a strong and incisive way thanks to the black that characterizes the slate plaque on which they are depicted. The two paintings, in an oval format, are presented in black wooden frames, from the late 19th century.

Storia del pensiero cristiano tardo-antico

Claudio Moreschini, Francesco Perono Cacciafoco
Bompiani

Il volume esamina la formazione del pensiero cristiano nel mondo antico, nei secoli successivi alla formazione dei testi sacri e alla predicazione apostolica, allorquando la società cristiana, staccatasi oramai definitivamente dalle sue origini ebraiche, è proiettata con sempre maggiore interesse alla diffusione e alla "conquista" del mondo pagano circostante. Per una tale conquista i contatti - anche se frequentemente polemici - con la cultura greca e latina sono essenziali. Come si attua la formazione di una letteratura, di un diritto e di una legislazione romano-cristiana, così sorge anche un pensiero cristiano nel contatto con la filosofia greca. Il presente volume intende esaminare il formarsi di tale pensiero - non di una speculazione patristica - e il suo sempre più vigoroso consolidarsi, fino a giungere senza soluzioni di continuità al pensiero medievale latino e bizantino. Si è ritenuto necessario aggiungere una ricca copia di testi, che costituiscono un'antologia mai tentata fino ad ora, affinché il lettore possa avere un diretto contatto con i filosofi cristiani dei primi secoli. Presentazione di Giovanni Reale.
