Episode 05 - Canons of proportion
มุมมอง 1.1K4 ปีที่แล้ว
The history of canons of proportions and their use by sculptors is discussed in this week's episode. From the Egyptians up to the present day, artists have sought the key to caputring an ideal, or a norm, in human form. As it happens, notions of ideals - and of what we consider normal - change over time, which has given rise to dozens of canons practiced by different artists at different times....

Episode 09 - Giambologna
มุมมอง 1.4K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Giambologna's remarkable and prolific career is the missing link between the Renaissance and the Baroque, between Michelangelo and Bernini, and between medieval and modern conceptions of how a sculptor's career is conducted.

    Yes thank you for reading it. One thing he mentions in he biography is how much wood he has to round up for each project to melt the gold. Being a gold smith myself in this day having to go get wood for each project would make want to take a nap after the hunt for wood. In his book he says he had two boys that find him wood.

    I have a very good 3 foot copy of this sculpture in alabaster. It is gorgeous and glows. I assume it was purchased in the early 19th century during a grand tour. It originally was purchased by my father in Scotland at an auction on a grand estate. It is in very good condition and still has the original plinth. I have had it conserved at Queens U at Kingston by the Conservation and Restoration dept.

    Looking at the 10:32 point in your video, I thought it would make sense to offset your two triangular, vertical, table top supports, one to the left, and one to the right, by only 1/2 the material's thickness, both ways, giving you a combined offset dimension between the two, of the overall material's thickness. By doing this, it would allow your two table top's triangular supports to then slide all the way down without running into the tops of your two legs. With this slight modification, your tabletop would now be adjustable to an even a lower point than your current design. Your table top would then be able to rest on top of the stand's legs. This design modification to the table top's height would basically allow for a person to be at a sitting position in front of the stand, if so desired. Just a thought.
