modern style (in a 16th c. date) modern Explanation: as a transition between two styles ... modern does not mean contemporary. Tullio Lombardo (Tullio di Pietro Solari da Carona) - 1455-1532: "lo stile dell'artista è quello che corrisponde alla transizione dal linguaggio prospettico e umanistico quattrocentesco al classicismo maturo della “maniera moderna”, sia nell'architettura sia nella scultura veneziana." For a sculptor in late fifteenth-century Venice, to be modern meant to breathe new life into the lost world of classical antiquity, glimpsed through literature and fragmentary ancient remains and envisioned as a wondrous place of ideal beauty. Tullio’s sculpture summoned up an antiquity of imagination, with works of a kind never seen before: busts in high relief portraying figures based on Greek and Roman models, but given contemporary (fifteenth-century) hairstyles and costumes. http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/2009/tullio/index.shtm |
