Scientific Proust

During my university period my prof. History of contemporary art said that who hasn’t read La recherché of Marcel Proust(1871-1922) is a worm. We must consider that this judgment is certainly much severe and I think that very much didn’t read the Recherché and I know perfectly that they live although they don’t read or don’t know what is the Recherché, but it is very true that who has read the Recherché lives equally. Anyway I want identifier origin of episode of Madeleine, that sweet that Proust told eating during his childhood, and he has descripted on a romance; it has a taste that has remembered to Marcel Proust his childhood; this description is merely psychological and we can live or lived this experience through image or contest we think that has lived during other contest and time. We can think that is our memory and contest that we took against from other time; and this is certainly true, although may alone a bit is relatable to that contest. But origin of this phenomenon is relatable to amygdala in the brain, it is an organ that works emotional and it gives a mean to information that we take from external and internal contest, then we can know our emotions and reaction because we have amygdala; then we can know and understand Proust and his episode of Magdalene because we have worked same experience, trough amygdala. Then if somebody read the Recherché or stand in other contest that has known origin it will be clearer.(anyway I want recommend the read of Recherché)

 Salvator human politicy

If we consider some time or historical contest, we find every time some “salvator” who has employee from policy alone to save his condition, economic, moral, and his presence, that has determined very reinforcement of human psychology then of policy system; we can consider death of Socrates(b.Ch.399), during serious crisis of Athens, that was defeated from Sparta during war of Peloponnese(b.Ch. 431-404), and by now in Athens has been restored democracy, crisis was very deep and historical moment was very serious, then it was necessary that psychology was cured, and somebody have to accused of atrocities, so that Athens people become calm, because every Athenian was reassured; then Socrates was ideal man, because he hasn’t political duty and he was very poor then irrelevant, Socrates was right man for reinforces psychology and above all become calm it; then he have to die. Socrates was determining factor of reassured of Athenians. During Catholic Reform and his Council(1545-1563), the Church beatified, on 1622, Ignazio de Loyola, Francesco Saverio, Teresa D’Avila, Filippo Neri and Isodoro, and Saint Charles Borromeo beatified on 1610 and Saint Francesca Roman beatified on 1608. These Saints have completed long run of Concilio of Trento, because they have characteristic between them very different, but every tied to Church. The Church employee these Saints to save his presence in Occident. But also women has had a principal role to save, now the France, this is I want mean Joan of Arc that after liberation of Orleans from British, 8^th march on 1429; she has employee from Policy, Charles VII king of France, to same role that has had Socrates, she was heroic woman that is liberating the France from British armies during the hundred years war. Then these are become emblems of liberation or atrocities or salvation of souls. Every time has had his heroic man or woman that policy has used to restored his position and power. Every historical event has his determining factor and contest, but political dynamic is same to every time, employee somebody to save the contest.

Concrete ideal: Piero della Francesca

Piero della Francesca(1412-1492), Italian painter, is usually thought as ideal painter, and platonic painter, more mathematical painter than real painter, but I think that he was also concrete and he showed some relevant reference for realism or terrain behavior, certainly human reality. The angels on left side of Baptism of Christ(fig.1), are certainly a human and platonic representation, we can understand it by gaze of angel to us and his hand on shoulder of other angel, we certainly are involved by that gaze, and it is more human and psychological, certainly Piero della Francesca didn’t know never psychological dynamics, but certainly he has knew the will of human gender to involve to the painting. On same painting is other reference, man is undressing to right side on background(Fig.2), he is a touch of human gender during divine event; that is human dynamic that we do every day, then Piero has seen somebody during his undressing and he has showed this figure. The third painting of Piero is like others, perfect meeting of ideal and terrain reality; the Resurrection of Christ(Fig.3) has some expedient very human and he meets some human nature, as the militaries sleeping(Fig.4), the anatomy is very marked, and it shows the concrete analysis of human gender that collides to divine nature of Christ(Fig.3). Piero has suggested also a posture of figure to Federico Barocci(1535-1612), he born to Urbino, Italian city, distant far from Borgo San Sepolcro, where born Piero, 43 miles, and it not was very long distant, we must consider that we are thinking about 16^th century, anyway that figure is below Crucifixion(Figs.5-6) on polyptych of Misericordia, and I think that Barocci has seen certainly this figure or he has remembered this figure to a Saint Francis(Fig.7) to Vision of Saint Francis(Fig.8), then Piero is platonic painter and very terrain and he has used these two natures to his painting. But Piero has influenced also some painter his contemporary as Desiderio da Subiaco(Fig.12), in fact the physiognomy of figures of this painter are very next, so that to typology(Figs.4, 9, 10), eyebrows very marketed, labial curve likewise marketed and beard treated for single lines as Saint Jerome(Fig.11); Desiderio da Subiaco could seen Piero and his frescos in Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, in ex chapel of Saint Michael, now very fragmentary.
