As an English as a second language speaker I can guarantee reading children’s books and studying art is one of the fastest and best way to learn English and improve your vocabulary.

Georgina Adam’s predictions for 2018 art market is very optimistic, she believes the sale of the Salvator Mundi had a significant effect in Old Masters’s and also in the over all marketplace: What will 2018 hold for the art market?

I also thought was funny the fact that she mentioned Martin Kemp’s noticeable increase of submissions after the Last Da Vinci’s big sale, he must be thrilled…

 

The Last Leonardo’s

I’m beyond excited about Christie’s forthcoming sale of the ‘Salvator Mundi’ by Leonardo (the last one). Some may not like the fact that Christie’s is marketing this picture as a  contemporary piece, but in my personal opinion Da Vinci’s work transcends time and movement and trying to make Old Masters relevant to new audiences is worth a shot.

The Borghese Gallery has announced its own formation of the Caravaggio Research Institute; with the help of some supporters the institute will home some of Caravaggio’s works and serve as an authentication and art-historical research study center. At a press conference, Galleria Borghese director Anna Coliva said the institute was formed “since the great specialists of Caravaggio are no longer here, anyone can decide to attribute a piece to the artist.”

The Borghese’s will also be hosting some international exhibition of the artist, the first one being at the Getty Museum opening on November 21, 2017, which I really, really and really would like to attend, so if you are in California or near by and able to go please send me an email letting me know how it went, I would appreciate it!  And if you like me are in the east coast don’t be jealous, we got Michelangelo at the Met.

I am a firm believer that art can change someone’s life, and help to develop a more beautiful, creative and smarter point of view, which can also improve your performance in your career.  Like the Renaissance’s artists taught us, combining science, philosophy, mathematics,  visual art, literature… etc will assist us to achieve excellence.   Which is why I’m so happy to find out that some universities are including art classes to their med curriculum: Why Med Schools Are Requiring Art Classes

 

Apologies…

The ISMS in Art I – RENAISSANCE: Illusionism

Illusionism is the technique used by artists to create perspective illusion, when the viewer is tricked into mistaking painted objects for real ones.  In the Renaissance era it was very admired, since it cares the ambition of bringing images into existence.

There are two technical terms used in illusionism, the first one is “Trompe I’oeil” French for “deceiving the eye” normally used for smaller objects, and the second one is “Quadratura” referring to larger scale of painting, like this one I used to illustrate the term.  In this painting Andrea Mantegna brings the illusion of an open ceiling, where we have the lovely conception of direct connection to heaven and its angel, always being guarded, always being blessed by their presence.

Some of the Artists:

  • Donato Bramante
  • Correggio
  • Jan Van Eyck
  • Andrea Mantegna

 

New Paintings by Raphael

Conservators cleaning frescoes in the Room of Constantine at the Vatican have discovered that two of the figures were painted by Raphael himself, not his students as was previously believed. The breakthrough came when it was found that two of the figures in the fresco were painted in oil, not the usual paint in wet plaster technique.
