Advanced Member L'Ancien Regime Posted November 1, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Thank you, Digman, L'Ancien Regime. Whatever that means LOL You're so kind, but not unreal. Lot of wrong strokes around. The crazy is that I find lot of of these wrong things in maters works. Do we miss something? Masters, particularly masters of the Maniera didn't concern themselves with anatomical correctness once they were past their apprenticeship. I think they've got all sorts of other agendas operating. Michaelangelo's David is totally wrong in terms of proportion; the hands and feet are too big the head is too big for the body and the eyes are too big for the head. But it works while a photographically correct work would not work correctly, or feel right. This is partly attributable to stage craft, tricking the eyes and the mind behind them, but also the Maniera of the late Renaissance is a rejection of Albertian classicism of the early Renaissance with its clarity of light and Euclidian proportions; the Maniera is the adoption of the occult, the mysterious, and the alchemical. Stylizations with deep abstract impulsions come to dominate the icons, pushing aside mere proportional correctness with strange distortions that suggest spiritual qualities that are unspoken, cryptic. An analogous movement takes place in the sciences with Galileo's classical geometrical astronomical mechanics being shouldered aside by the mysterious and occult force of gravity for which there is still no obvious mechanical explanation or even rational model. Gravity travels through space instantaneously in some cases, at the speed of light in other cases. It's occult. The Maniera is occult. The later Michelangelo is of the Maniera and has more to do with Bronzino's peculiar proportions than it does with Leonardo's brilliant Albertian analyses...
