Artists today generally paint what they wish to paint, hoping to make a living by selling their work at exhibitions or through dealers. But early in the Italian Renaissance, painters were regarded still as craftsmen rather than artists. They were ruled by the conventions of their workshops, and for any major painting commission they were at the behest of a client or patron. The patron might sometimes be benign, allowing their painter some independence, but often they were considerably more demanding. Contracts usually outlined in detail exactly what the painter was to show in his work, and imposed clear conditions on the quality of materials to be used, the delivery date and how much the painter would be paid.
A brief history of Ponte Vecchio, the Old Bridge in Florence
07 Apr, 2021
Ponte Vecchio is the most famous bridge in Florence.
It earned its name, Old Bridge, by surviving a long and exciting history. It s possible that the bridge existed in some form during the Roman Empire, but it was first recorded as being a defensive structure in Medieval Italy.
The bridge, built of stone and wood, crosses the most narrow point of the Arno River and connects the City Center to the district of Oltrarno. The structure is such an anomaly because it doubles as a marketplace for gold goods and fine jewelry. There are five important years that contribute to Ponte Vecchio s longevity and beauty:
Italian city continues long and charming tradition
FLORENCE, Italy – The Renaissance city of Florence is proud of its heritage but not only proud. The people in charge of lighting this set-piece city hold onto another tradition: manually turning on the streetlights every night. It s the only city in Italy that does it this way. We want to turn them on in the exact moment when one feels the need for artificial light, explains Matteo Casanovi, president of Silfi, the company that runs Florence s lighting systems. And we can also save a few euros each year, he adds.
Three squads keep an eye on the sky and shadows each day. They ve got a few minutes of wiggle room each night to adjust timing depending on cloud cover and a host of other variables. When a wicked storm hit Florence a few years back, they made an exception and threw lights on much earlier than usual to give citizens a sense of comfort.
