After the dark centuries of the Middle Ages, characterized by the overwhelming power of the church and the absolute belief that God was everything and man nothing, <strong>Renaissance culture<\/strong> places man and his rational actions at the center of its interests. Thus, the <strong>Renaissance man<\/strong>, freed from the heavy constraints of the Middle Ages, reaffirms himself as the <strong>architect of his own existence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This renewed <strong>centrality of man<\/strong> also takes shape in the <strong>organization of urban spaces<\/strong>, rethinking the <strong>city in a unified and proportionate key<\/strong>. The <strong>ideal city<\/strong> of the Renaissance, governed by the absolute laws of <strong>geometry<\/strong> and <strong>proportion<\/strong>, is a true <strong>hymn to man and the centrality of his intellect.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing the problem of adapting the existing city to new needs, in the first half of the fifteenth century, <strong>Leon Battista Alberti<\/strong>, architect, writer, mathematician, and humanist, codifies a new practice of architecture and urban planning. Starting from the study of antiquity and the measurement of ancient monuments, Alberti&#8217;s treatise lays the foundations for new types of modern buildings. Painters, in turn, adopt these indications, and in their paintings, Renaissance scenes, rich in classical references, are composed in an ideal <strong>harmony<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-work-of-the-ducal-palace-of-urbino\"><strong>The Work of the Ducal Palace of Urbino<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A striking example of this humanist conception is the work <strong>Ideal City<\/strong><em>,<\/em> preserved at the <strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.artsupp.com\/it\/gnmarche\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Gallery of the Marche<\/a> <\/strong>in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/artsupp.com\/it\/urbino?orig=247628\">Urbino.<\/a><\/strong><br>The <strong>painting<\/strong> represents the ideals of <strong>perfection<\/strong> and <strong>harmony<\/strong> of the <strong>Italian Renaissance<\/strong>, in the orderly and symmetrical form of a city depicted with the scientific principles of <strong>central perspective<\/strong>. In the foreground, on the sides, there are two wells with octagonal bases, placed in a perfectly symmetrical manner. Dominating the scene is a large religious building with a circular plan. A baptistery? A mausoleum? Who knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Schermata-2022-07-19-alle-17.33.30-1024x330.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Schermata-2022-07-19-alle-17.33.30-1024x330.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Schermata-2022-07-19-alle-17.33.30-300x97.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Schermata-2022-07-19-alle-17.33.30-768x248.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Schermata-2022-07-19-alle-17.33.30-1536x496.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Schermata-2022-07-19-alle-17.33.30-2048x661.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Schermata-2022-07-19-alle-17.33.30-600x194.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Ideal City<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Enhancing the <strong>perspective vision<\/strong> are the <strong>facades of the noble Renaissance palaces<\/strong> that delimit the square. To the perfect <strong>geometric perspective<\/strong>, a similarly refined choice of colors is added: gray-blue buildings, others in orange hues. To increase the sensation of eternal peace and silence, there is the <strong>absolute absence of any human figure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carefully observing the work, one perceives how the indications of <strong>Leon Battista Alberti<\/strong> regarding architecture had also been assimilated by artists. In his treatise <strong><em>De re \u00e6dificatoria<\/em>, Alberti<\/strong> identifies the <strong>stylistic elements<\/strong> of the classical repertoire to be revived: large arches reminiscent of triumphal ones, pillars, columns, wide domes; all elements that we find in the work preserved at the <strong>Ducal Palace of Urbino.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-mysterious-work\"><strong>A Mysterious Work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A veil of <strong>mystery<\/strong> surrounds this work that we all know so well but of which, at the same time, we know so little. The <strong>author<\/strong> remains <strong>unknown<\/strong>, and it is only known that it <strong>was created between 1480 and 1490<\/strong> in <strong>Urbino<\/strong> at the court of <strong>Federico da Montefeltro<\/strong> and that it most likely belonged to the ducal family. It is said that <strong>Elisabetta da Montefeltro<\/strong>, daughter of Federico, may have taken the painting with her when she entered the monastery after becoming a widow in 1482.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its function also raises doubts and conjectures. Some say it was used as a wooden backrest for a piece of furniture, or even as a model for a set design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ideal-city-the-other-versions\"><strong>Ideal City: The Other Versions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that there are two other <strong>versions<\/strong> of <strong>\u201cView of the Ideal City\u201d<\/strong>, one of which is preserved at the <strong>Walters Art Museum in Baltimore<\/strong> attributed to the same author as the Urbino panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Anonimo-Citta-ideale-1480-84-ca.-olio-e-tempera-su-tavola-8033\u00d72198-cm.-Walters-Art-Museum-Baltimora-1024x371.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Anonimo-Citta-ideale-1480-84-ca.-olio-e-tempera-su-tavola-8033\u00d72198-cm.-Walters-Art-Museum-Baltimora-1024x371.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Anonimo-Citta-ideale-1480-84-ca.-olio-e-tempera-su-tavola-8033\u00d72198-cm.-Walters-Art-Museum-Baltimora-300x109.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Anonimo-Citta-ideale-1480-84-ca.-olio-e-tempera-su-tavola-8033\u00d72198-cm.-Walters-Art-Museum-Baltimora-768x278.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Anonimo-Citta-ideale-1480-84-ca.-olio-e-tempera-su-tavola-8033\u00d72198-cm.-Walters-Art-Museum-Baltimora-600x217.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Anonimo-Citta-ideale-1480-84-ca.-olio-e-tempera-su-tavola-8033\u00d72198-cm.-Walters-Art-Museum-Baltimora.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><strong>View of the Ideal City<\/strong>, <strong>Walters Art Museum in Baltimore<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other, different from the other two in style and colors, is preserved at the <strong>Gem\u00e4ldegalerie in Berlin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Citta_ideale_di_berlino_2-1024x385.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86900\" width=\"764\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Citta_ideale_di_berlino_2-1024x385.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Citta_ideale_di_berlino_2-300x113.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Citta_ideale_di_berlino_2-768x289.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Citta_ideale_di_berlino_2-600x226.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Citta_ideale_di_berlino_2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Version preserved at the<\/strong> <strong>Gem\u00e4ldegalerie in Berlin<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Before going to admire it in person at the <strong>Ducal Palace of Urbino<\/strong>, you can see all the details of the work in high definition on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artsupp.com\/it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Artsupp<\/strong><\/a> <strong> <em><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.artsupp.com\/it\/gnmarche\/Artworks\/Pittore-dellItalia-centrale-gia-attr-a-Luciano-Laurana-Citta-ideale\/2261\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ideal City<\/a><\/em><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.artsupp.com\/it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"discover-the-ideal-city-and-all-the-other-works-at-the-ducal-palace-of-urbino-click-here\" class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Discover the Ideal City and all the other works at the Ducal Palace of Urbino<\/strong>! <strong>Click here!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/artsupp.com\/it\/urbino\/musei\/galleria-nazionale-delle-marche-palazzo-ducale-di-urbino\/opere#partner-header\">Discover the Ducal Palace of Urbino<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"tmnf_excerpt\"><div class=\"tmnf_excerpt\"><p>How many of us, opening a history book to the chapter dedicated to the Renaissance, have come across the work we will discuss today?
