Gallerie degli Uffizi


#Ercole e Nesso, agli #Uffizi dal 1595, ci offre lo spunto per riflettere sul #restauro dall'antichita ai giorni nostri.Allo scultore Giovanni #Caccini (1565-1613) was infatti consegnato a marmo of II sec.dCcon il corpo acefalo di un #centauro with a braccio poggiato sulle spalle; Sulla base due piedi sostenevano l'ipotesi che if it was di quello che rimaneva di un gruppo di Ercole e Nesso in lotta.Il gruppo was stato rimaneggiato in antico gives a certo Maestro Silla cheva aveva stabilizzato with a blocco di #marmo sulla base.Caccini ricevette also shows a figure of Ercole abbozzata from altra mano: the complete e riusci abilly ad assemblare marmi antichi e moderni in an elaborate and fanciful combination.'aura di sacralita che oggi per noi sta return ad un'opera d'arte e che If it is necessary to keep it and restore it, it is possible to place it in the same way as the census of the consegnata, not to belong to the antico thinker: a marmo antico poteva essere integrato, rimaneggiato e completeto per offrirne un'interpretazione nuova.Cio che oggi noi vediamo in quest'operae il risultato del lavoro di piu artisti, dai primi secoli dopo Cristo fino al #Rinascimento fiorentino: an ottimo restauro (in the modern sense of the term) esteguito nel 2015 ha infine recuperato lo splendore dei marmi e fatto chiarezza sulla storia di integrazioni e rimodellamenti.🌎ENG: This gorgeous marble group representing # Hercules and Nessus offers us an interesting sample to discuss about the different meanings the concept of restoration assumes throughout the centuries.The group consists of different parts: the bottom of the Centaur was made in the 2nd cADby an anonymous Roman sculptor, while all the rest was created, adapted and integrated with modern marbles by the #Renaissance sculptor Giovanni Caccini (1565-1613).restoration was completely different from the contemporary one: during the Renaissance artists used to nonchalantly integrate ancient and damaged marbles so to utterly create new works of art.Today conservators rather tend to regain the originality of pieces as much as possible (colors, marks, fractures , old integrations etc.).


A post shared by Gallerie degli Uffizi (@uffizigalleries) on Feb 13, 2017 at 4:38 am PST

One of the essential places for art lovers is the Gallery of Uffizi in Florence.And for those who cannot travel to Italy, Instagram gives them the opportunity to enjoy the genius of artists of a golden age for the development of man.Botticelli's Venus greets us as a representative image of everything we can find in this account.Art and love.An extraordinary desire to disseminate an artistic content that hopefully the new generations know how to value.The explanations of their works or about artists are a plus for images.


Guggenheim

With more than a million followers, the @guggenheim account is one of the most valued by instagramers.The Solomon R.Guggenheim Foundation has distributed its work and presence throughout the world.We know them for their work in Bilbao, but on the web we can find a compendium of their artistic manifesto.The images uploaded to the network are also recognized for the authors who "carry" the firm's Instagram , something that tells us about the importance of the author.


Tate

One of the artistic reference accounts on Instagram.Tate is one of the most important institutions in Britain and its profile on the web, with more than a million and a half followers is an example of it.He knows how to address his followers so that they feel involved in the life of the museum.Initiatives such as #Hockneyinspired demonstrate this.It is a proposal to encourage users to show their own works and creations , this time inspired by the work of artist David Hockney.


Museums carry the sap that has made us grow as people.Its pictures, sculptures or representations show us how man is able to get beauty and knowledge out of his interior, but also desires for justice and freedom. Without art, we would be nothing .
