Seated Nude (ca. 1512) by Baccio Bandinelli
Bartolommeo “Baccio” Bandinelli (1493 - 1560), actually born
Bartolommeo Brandini, was a Renaissance Florentine Mannerist sculptor, a
reputed Italian draughtsman and painter. Bandinelli was trained as a
goldsmith by his father, Michelangelo di Viviani de’ Bandini, who was
patronized by the Medici family. Bandinelli,
Michelangelo-influenced works, were also favoured by the Medici
particularly in the second quarter of the 16th century. His
talents assiduitely marked a predilection for sculpture, he worked
under the sculptor Giovanni Francesco Rustici and became one of the
principal artists at the court of the grand dukes of Tuscany. He
founded an academy for artists in the Vatican (1531) and one in
Florence (c. 1550). Accounts of Bandinelli given in Giorgio Vasari’s
Lives and in the Autobiography of the sculptor Benvenuto Cellini
represent him as jealous, malignant, and untalented. He assumed the
surname Bandinelli in 1530.

Tripod found in Pompeii, featuring ithyphallic satyrs
1st century A.D.
Bronze
Naples, National Archaeological Museum
I have loved the above tripod originating from Pompeii since I
was a kid, and I believe I saw it on display at the MFA Boston. The ithyphallic element
is prominent and is an attribute of these followers of Dionysus. Also
in ancient Roman society the erect phallus was displayed to ward off the
evil eye. Another important fact to always keep in mind is that not
many ancient bronzes have survived. So when you encounter one your very
lucky and make a strong mental note :)
I remember to have seen one with the Sotheby’s Versace
Sale, that was in 2009 with the Villa Fontanelle sale; it also had an
elegant feature, that of a removable fig leaf

Oldřich Kulhánek
Oldřich Kulhánek (26 February 1940 – 28 January 2013) was a Czech
painter, graphic designer, illustrator, stage designer and pedagogue.
From 1958 to 1964 he studied at the Prague Academy of Applied Arts, in
the studio of Professor Karel Svolinský. The years of his apprenticeship
there, provided the foundation and inspiration of his artistic career.
Unfortunately his career was amply impeded till after the fall of
communism, where Kulhánek talent was then truly revelated to his fellow
countrymen; the government inviting him to create the design for the
current Czech banknotes and postage stamps.

Nude
images of male athletes and fighters could be found EVERYWHERE in ancient
Greece.
EVERYWHERE!
These
images were present wherever people gathered, to serve as symbols of Areté or
Manliness - to remind the ancient Greeks just how much they valued and
cherished Areté.
These
male nude images were symbols of Righteousness, that when a Man had Areté, that
he was in total possession of his Manhood.
A Man
with Areté had the ability and willingness to fight. He possessed all the Moral
Virtues that make Men GOOD, such as Humility, Integrity, Selflessness, Self
Control and showing the proper Respect for people, places and things.
Areté
was VERY IMPORTANT to the ancient Greeks.
Areté is VERY IMPORTANT to us as well.

Apollo en Hyacinthus en Amor, 1506, Marcantonio Raimondi
Marcantonio Raimondi, (c. 1480 - 1534), simply known as Marcantonio,
was an Italian engraver, known for being the first important printmaker
whose body of work consists mainly of prints copying paintings.
Raimondi received his training in the workshop of the famous goldsmith
and painter Francesco Raibolini, called Francia. The stiff, irregular
hatching; the compositional aspects and figurative details of his
earliest works reveal the influence of Francia. Raimondi’s production
of more than 300 prints did much to disseminate the style of the High
Renaissance throughout Europe, especially the work of Raphael.

MYTHOLOGY MEME: [2/9] greek gods
Dionysus is the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of
ritual madness, fertility, theatre and religious ecstasy in Greek
mythology. He created wine and spread the art of viticulture. He had a
dual nature; on one hand, he brought joy and divine ecstasy; or he would
bring brutal and blinding rage, thus reflecting the dual nature of
wine.
