Rubens is undoubtedly the most influential Flemish painter. Through reproductions in print, his compositions had an immense impact, even during his lifetime. Himself indebted to Titian, Rubens became a role model to Van Dyck, Rembrandt and Velázquez, and influenced artists well beyond his time, including figures such as Cézanne, Picasso, Bacon and Freud. This stunning new volume explores Rubenss legacy thematically, through a series of sections devoted to Violence, Power, Lust, Compassion, Elegance and Poetry. Illustrating some of the artists most famous paintings alongside great works that bear his influence, each section will link artists across the centuries in their references to Rubens, from Van Dyck and Watteau to Manet, Daumier, Renoir and Van Gogh, as well as Gainsborough, Constable and Turner.--

Acclaimed by some as one of the best portraitists of all time, Italian painter Giovan Battista Moroni (1522-1579) created penetrating images of the aristoc-racy of Bergamo, in which the sitters often gaze at the spectator with an unflinching directness. Admired in Italy since the 16th century, when Titian is said to have praised his portraits, Moroni did not achieve an international reputation until the 19th century and remains relatively little known. This handsome catalog encompasses Moroni's entire career. It includes portraits of all formats and styles, demonstrating not just Moroni's brilliance at capturing the elegance of his sitters and the fashions of the time, but also his realistic representation of Bergamo's society, which became a model for Caravaggio. The volume also includes Moroni's religious paintings, which also incorporate highly accomplished likenesses of their patrons, once again showing the striking psychological insight for which Moroni is acclaimed. Arturo Galansino, curator at the Royal Academy of Arts, has also curated exhibitions for the Louvre and the National Gallery, London. Simone Facchinetti is curator at the Museo Diocesano in Bergamo.

eDossier: una collana di Art e Dossier. Un artista da leggere, un movimento da conoscere come un racconto, una raccolta di saggi agile e accessibile. Bill Viola ( New York 1951) si forma come videoartista a fianco di Nam June Paik e Bruce Nauman negli anni Settanta. In quegli anni incontra Kira Perov, che sarà sua moglie e la sua principale collaboratrice. Nel 1995 rappresenta il suo Paese alla Biennale di Venezia con Buried secrets. Negli anni successivi si dedica da un lato all'approfondimento tecnico delle sue videoinstallazioni, con schermi a cristalli liquidi e al plasma, riprese simultanee; dall'altro approfondisce, attraverso le immagini che crea, temi come il passaggio vita-morte, le emozioni, il rapporto con l'arte del passato.

Ce catalogue d'exposition retrace les évolutions de la peinture vénitienne depuis l'installation définitive de Véronèse à Venise en 1553 jusqu'à la mort de Titien en 1576.¦¦Un parcours chronologique et thématique met en regard les oeuvres des trois principaux acteurs de la peinture lagunaire : Titien le génie inventif, Tintoret le génie dynamique et Véronèse le génie décoratif.¦¦

On the occasion of the exhibition "Tracey Emin. Sex and Solitude", organized by Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and open to the public from March 16 to July 20, 2025, Marsilio Arte is publishing the exhibition catalogue of the same name. Tracey Emin is a contemporary British artist known for works deeply rooted in the feminist tradition, with an uncompromising and unapologetic approach to themes such as desire, the body, and solitude. Her art delves into complex personal states through openly expressionist styles and techniques: vulnerability, rawness, and physicality are key words in her artistic world, where tenderness and love are interwoven with pain and sacrifice. The catalogue includes three substantial essays: the first, Sex and Solitude, written by curator Arturo Galansino, explores Emin's personal and professional journey. As Emin states, "Even if you're with someone, you're still alone [...] I believe that to be an artist, you need more solitude to create, and as the years go by, I crave solitude more than ever." The second essay is a dialogue between the curator and the artist, offering an intimate and wide-ranging portrait of Emin as they discuss sexuality, religion, and literature. The final essay, The Rebirth of Tracey Emin, written by Nicholas Cullinan, Director of the British Museum in London, is a tribute to the artist's multifaceted practice and her "commitment to honesty," which Cullinan defines as "a monument to truth." The catalogue features images of the works on display, divided into eleven sections: both historical and recent pieces from public and private collections around the world, reflecting the controversial and piercing aesthetic of one of the most influential artists in shaping the image of women and the relationship between body and existence in contemporary art over the past thirty years.
