	October Feature: The Other Michelangelo
		Michelangelo Merisi (1571-1610), called Caravaggio, is the second Michelangelo, born a few years after the death of Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564), sculptor of the Pietà and painter of the Sistine Chapel.
		Michelangelo Buonarroti's The Conversion of St. Paul (Saul) and The Crucifixion of St. Peter are works that were much too terrible for their century and for any century but our own (they are still off limits to visitors to the Vatican).
		The High Renaissance achievements of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael, based as they were on intense competition among gigantic egos and stupendous talents, reached such a peak that further serious art seemed impossible.

		Hupka, incaricato di redigere il programma musicale per il Padiglione Vaticano, destinato ad accogliere l’opera di Michelangelo in una scenografia appositamente creata, deve anche realizzare una fotografia per il disco-ricordo del’avvenimento.
		Il secondo incontro chiave della vita di Hupka è quello con la Pietà di Michelangelo, che nel 1964 lascia Roma per approdare a New Yok in occasione dell’Esposizione Universale.
		Robert Hupka muore a New York il 3 luglio 2001, pochi giorni dopo aver presenziato, a Lourdes, all’inaugurazione della mostra fotografica sulla Pietà che oggi possiamo ammirare in Vaticano.

	Art/Auctions: Important Old Master Paintings auction at Christie's, Jan. 27, 2000
		While Dr. Härb states that Vasari used Michelangelo's famous statue of Pietà as a model for his painting, the poses are quite different since Christ is on the ground in Vasari's painting as opposed to resting on the Madonna's lap in Michelangelo's sculpture.
		At the same time, however, Vasari also drew on the medieval tradition of representing the disks of the sun and the moon 9n the renderings of the Crucifixion, a motif that Vasari reused many years later in his altarpiece of the Crucifixion in the church of S. Maria del Carmine, Florence (1560),"Dr. Härb observed.
		The catalogue reproduces a very lovely drawing by Vasari of the Pietà that also has the gods at the top but has the Madonna with her left hand on the shoulder of Christ.

	IL SOLE 24 ORE
		La Pietà di Michelangelo come non l’avete mai vista e, soprattutto, come sarà praticamente impossibile vederla in futuro: il capolavoro michelangiolesco, dopo le mutilazioni subite nel 1972 per opera di un folle, è infatti da allora protetto da una vetrata antiproiettile che tiene il pubblico a una distanza di 6 metri.
		L’opera di Hupka è stata raccolta in un mostra che da dieci anni viene allestita in tutta Europa e che fino al 23 luglio farà tappa a Roma, nella Sala del Braccio di Carlo Magno del Bernini, a due passi dall’originale in marmo.
		Un contatto quasi diretto con la Pietà diviene reale guardando le straordinarie fotografie di Robert Hupka, che ebbe la possibilità di eseguire scatti da ogni angolazione quando la statua, in occasione dell’Esposizione Universale di New York del 1964, lasciò Roma per essere esposta nella città americana.

	Ekphrasis Renaissance Art
		Though he does recognize the St. Peter’s pietá of Michelangelo as a direct model for Pontormo’s figure of Christ, Steinberg fails to mention another virgin with child sculpture by Michelangelo, where the Christ child precariously teeters off of her lap.
		Though his tone is far from authoritative, he posits that Pontormo drew upon Raphael and especially Tintoretto by incorporating the chapel space as the physical end of the illusory scene.
		Yet Pontormo’s altarpiece deviates from the path prescribed by these other paintings, and as a Mannerist work of art, the boundaries of the picture plane become surprisingly porous.

	The Sistine Chapel and The Last Judgement - Rome

		Highlights are the Sala delle Asse, a frescoed room still sometimes attributed to Leonardo da Vinci (1690-1730), and Michelangelo's unfinished Rondanini Pietà believed to be his last work.
		Noted for its medieval architecture, the Basilica of St. Ambrose was consecrated by St. Ambrose in AD 387 and was the model for all Lombard Romanesque churches.
		This intricate Gothic structure - Italy's largest - was begun by Galeazzo Visconti III (1351-1402), first duke of Milan, in 1386.

	Tom Piatak on Mel Gibson's The Passion and his attackers
		If Fredriksen’s clique actually wielded the power they desire, it is hard to see how either Michelangelo’s “Pietà” or Bach’s Passions could pass muster.
		Fredriksen tries to conceal the radical nature of the attack on Passion by appealing to history: “the historical fact behind the Passion narratives—Jesus’s death on a cross—points primarily to a Roman agenda.” But Fredriksen did not always regard as self-evident the conclusions she now draws from the manner of Jesus’ death.
		Fredriksen was part of a group of professors who reviewed the script of Gibson’s film at the behest of Eugene Fisher, a bureaucrat at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and Eugene Korn, a functionary at the Anti-Defamation League.

	The Pieta' Project
		We have been engaged in a project to create a detailed three-dimensional model of Michelangelo's Florentine Pietà.
		This project was defined and driven by the research interests of Dr. Jack Wasserman, professor emeritus of art history at Temple University.
		We used a 3D scanner to measure shape and appearance of each part of the statue, and developed new algorithms to merge all the information into a single accurate digital model.

	a key to Milan [guidebook] - City Council Art Collections
		Identification plates in solid wood, imaginative settings created without excessive regard to expense, the tall shell-shaped panelling which encloses the Rondanini Pietà by Michelangelo are solutions that reflect the finest taste of the 1950's.
		Outstanding in terms of sculpture is the Monument of Bernabò Visconti by Bonino da Campione (1360-80 circa), which comes from the demolished church of San Giovanni in Conca.
		The Statue of Gaston de Foix (1515-1523), by Agostino Busti called Bambaja, also comes from a demolished church (in 1990 this monument reacquired its originally intended appearance, thanks to the purchase of high-relief sculptures and statues that had been made for the tomb of the young French general but found their way into private collections).

	Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano, Roma - parte I
		La sontuosità dell’interno lascia senza fiato: 45 altari, 11 cappelle, circa 10mila metri quadri di mosaici e altre numerose opere d'arte quali la Pietà di Michelangelo.
		Piazza San Pietro con il celebre colonnato, una delle trovate più geniali di Gian Lorenzo Bernini, è profonda 320 metri con un ellissi centrale di 240 metri ed è circondata da 4 file di 284 colonne e 88 pilastri.
		La Basilica di San Pietro è situata nella Città del Vaticano, stato sovrano indipendente sulla riva destra del Tevere, dentro Roma; minuscolo di dimensioni, lo stato Vaticano è quanto resta dei domini temporali della Chiesa, che alla fine dell'Ottocento furono annessi all'Italia unita.

	Study for the Colonna Pietà by MICHELANGELO di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni
		In 1538, three years before the completion of the Last Judgment, Michelangelo had met Vittoria Colonna.
		We find evidence of this in a drawing of the Pietà, made for Vittoria Colonna.
		It is true, however, that he felt the need for divine grace, and, from this point onwards, this had great bearing on his creative life.

		Michelangelos David Michelangelos David, finished by Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1504 (started in 1501) is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture and one of Michelangelos two greatest works of sculpture, along with the PietÃ.
		David was the eighth and youngest son of Jesse, a citizen of Bethlehem.
		David was sent for, and the prophet immediately recognized him as the chosen of God, chosen to succeed King Saul, who was now departing from the ways of God, on the throne of the kingdom.

	Madonna and Child by MICHELANGELO Buonarroti
		In this group Michelangelo, deliberately harking back to the hieratic forms of Byzantine and medieval iconography, represents the Child standing between his mother's knees and enveloped in her robe.
		This work, just under life-size and highly finished with the same care and refinement as the Pietà, was sold to a Flemish merchant and shipped to Flanders soon after it was finished.

	The Sistine Chapel - Rome
		Michelangelo gave the latter the face of Biagio da Cesena, who had strongly criticised the artist's work.
		If we can say that the Pietà (Mary lamenting the Dead Christ) is the product of the artist's juvenile genius, in the Last Judgement Michelangeloexpressed the highest level of his mature art.
		The Sistine Chapel takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV Della Rovere (it is therefore also called Sixtine Chapel), and was built between 1475 and 1480.

	The Life of Michelangelo Buonarroti Symonds, John Addington. Introduction by Creighton E. Gilbert
		With the ability to consult the massive amount of material in the archives, Symonds produced the first documented, and considered by many still to be the best, biography of Michelangelo.
		The Italian government, predisposed to Symonds for his impeccable scholarship of Renaissance art, gave Symonds full access to the Buonarroti archives in the 1880s, the first independent scholar so honored.
		Symonds's expertise as a historian and critic gives added depth to this biography, and it is here that the public first learned that translations of Michelangelo's poetry had been altered to opaque the artist's sexuality.
