Yale art fellow to give illustrated talkThe Luigi and Anita Traverso Italian Studies Endowment presents, “Old and New in the Italian Garden an Illustrated Lecture,” by John Marciari, fellow at the Yale University Art Gallery, at 5 p.m., Tuesday, April 20, in Lecture Center 100.
Dr. Marciari's slide-illustrated lecture provides a broad overview of the Italian Villa Garden. He will begin with a look at how the ‘Italian Style’ of garden developed in the Renaissance, especially with respect to the revival of interest in Roman antiquity and to theories of art and artifice in the 16th century. After addressing the question of why Italian Gardens look the way that they do, he will look at two of the greatest Renaissance gardens, the Villa d'Este at Tivoli and the Villa Lante at Bagnaia, near Viterbo. The lecture will conclude with a consideration of later developments, from baroque gardens to the Italian Renaissance garden in the early 20th century. Marciari is currently the Florence B. Selden Post- Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Prints, Drawings, & Photographs of the Yale University Art Gallery. The recipient of several national and international awards, he has lectured and published widely in the field of Renaissance art and culture. A reception will follow the lecture, which is open to the public. |
