The Master of the Unruly Children and His Artistic and Creative Identities
The Master of the Unruly Children and his Artistic and Creative Identities Hannah R. Higham A Thesis Submitted to The University of Birmingham For The Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Art History, Film and Visual Studies School of Languages, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines a group of terracotta sculptures attributed to an artist known as the Master of the Unruly Children. The name of this artist was coined by Wilhelm von Bode, on the occasion of his first grouping seven works featuring animated infants in Berlin and London in 1890. Due to the distinctive characteristics of his work, this personality has become a mainstay of scholarship in Renaissance sculpture which has focused on identifying the anonymous artist, despite the physical evidence which suggests the involvement of several hands. Chapter One will examine the historiography in connoisseurship from the late nineteenth century to the present and will explore the idea of the scholarly “construction” of artistic identity and issues of value and innovation that are bound up with the attribution of these works. -

ALBERT STEFFEN CENTENNIAL ISSUE NUMBER 39 AUTUMN, 1984 ISSN 0021-8235 . Albert Steffen does not need to learn the way into the spiritual world from Anthroposophy. But from him Anthroposophy can come to know of a living “Pilgrimage ” — as an innate predisposition o f the soul — to the world of spirit. Such a poet-spirit must, if he is rightly understood, be recognized within the anthroposophical movement as the bearer o f a message from the spirit realm. It must indeed be felt as a good destiny that he wishes to work within this movement. H e adds, to the evidence which Anthroposophy can give of the truth inherent within it, that which works within a creative personality as spirit-bearer like the light of this truth itself.

Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530
PALPABLE POLITICS AND EMBODIED PASSIONS: TERRACOTTA TABLEAU SCULPTURE IN ITALY, 1450-1530 by Betsy Bennett Purvis A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto ©Copyright by Betsy Bennett Purvis 2012 Palpable Politics and Embodied Passions: Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530 Doctorate of Philosophy 2012 Betsy Bennett Purvis Department of Art University of Toronto ABSTRACT Polychrome terracotta tableau sculpture is one of the most unique genres of 15th- century Italian Renaissance sculpture. In particular, Lamentation tableaux by Niccolò dell’Arca and Guido Mazzoni, with their intense sense of realism and expressive pathos, are among the most potent representatives of the Renaissance fascination with life-like imagery and its use as a powerful means of conveying psychologically and emotionally moving narratives. This dissertation examines the versatility of terracotta within the artistic economy of Italian Renaissance sculpture as well as its distinct mimetic qualities and expressive capacities. It casts new light on the historical conditions surrounding the development of the Lamentation tableau and repositions this particular genre of sculpture as a significant form of figurative sculpture, rather than simply an artifact of popular culture. In terms of historical context, this dissertation explores overlooked links between the theme of the Lamentation, the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, codes of chivalric honor and piety, and resurgent crusade rhetoric spurred by the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Reconnected to its religious and political history rooted in medieval forms of Sepulchre devotion, the terracotta Lamentation tableau emerges as a key monument that both ii reflected and directed the cultural and political tensions surrounding East-West relations in later 15th-century Italy. -
Il Ruolo Di Igino Benvenuto Supino Per La Conoscenza, Tutela E Valorizzazione Del Patrimonio Artistico Italiano
Editoriale INTRECCI d’arte DOSSIER – n. 4/2018 IL RUOLO DI IGINO BENVENUTO SUPINO PER LA CONOSCENZA, TUTELA E VALORIZZAZIONE DEL PATRIMONIO ARTISTICO ITALIANO Marinella Pigozzi Gli storici dell'arte e gli studiosi che già alla fine del secolo XIX si resero conto di quanto la fotografia intesa come laboratorio, occasione d'indagine personale, potesse aiutare la conoscenza del patrimonio artistico e contribuire alla crescita della neonata disciplina Storia dell’arte e dei relativi coinvolgimenti nella ricerca, nella didattica, nel restauro, non furono molti. In Italia, accanto ad Adolfo Venturi e a Corrado Ricci, più volte interlocutori di Supino, possiamo ricordare Luca Beltrami (1854-1933), che aveva iniziato molto presto a raccogliere per i suoi studi e lavori riproduzioni fotografiche di documentazione. Oggi le vediamo nella raccolta del Civico Archivio Fotografico del Castello Sforzesco di Milano di cui divennero nel 1926 il nucleo iniziale. Giulio Cantalamessa (1846-1924) fece lo stesso nel 1906 quando, trasferendosi a Roma, decise di donare la propria raccolta fotografica alle Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia di cui era stato curatore dal 1894. Nel resto dell’Europa, il Bildarchiv Foto di Marburg vide la sua nascita nel 1913 grazie all’interesse di Richard Hamann (1879-1961)1. Il Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie a l’Aia aprì al pubblico nel 1932 in seguito alla donazione di più di 100.000 fotografie raccolte durante la sua carriera dallo storico dell’arte olandese Cornelis Hofstede de Groot (1863-1930)2. Gli archivi fotografici di William Conway (1856-1937) e di Robert Witt (1872-1952), di Samuel Courtauld e di Arthur Hamilton Lee diedero l’avvio alle famosissime collezioni del Courtauld Institute of Art di Londra. -

Roten: Mary and the Way of Beauty MARY AND THE WAY OF BEAUTY johann G. Roten, S.M * The way of beauty (via pulchritudinis) is an expression coined by Paul VI on May 16, 1975.1 In his closing address to the participants of the Mario logical Congress held in Rome, he outlined a twofold approach to the figure and reality of Mary: there is first the way of the learned ones, mariologists and the ologians of various colors (couleurs), who reach out to Mary in biblical, historical, and theological speculation. They walk the way of truth (via veritatis). There exists a second way accessible to everybody, simple souls included, which Paul VI called the via pulchritudinis (way of beauty). Did Paul VI in tend with these distinctions some sort of programmatic decla ration, as commentators thought and still believe?2 This does not seem likely. The scope of the Pope's address was to high light the specific theme of the 1975 Roman Marian Congress, which dealt with the relationship between Mary and the Holy Spirit. -

Riassunto Anita Simon, Letteratura e arte figurativa : Franco Sacchetti, un testimone d'eccezione?, p. 443-479. Questo studio intende rilevare l'importanza del Trecentonovelle di Franco Sacchetti (1332 ca.-1400) quale fonte per un'analisi dello stato e della funzione dell'arte figurativa nella Firenze del pieno '300 e dei suoi ri-flessi sull'immagine di coloro che di questo processo creativo sono gli artefici : i 'dipintori' protagonisti di varie di queste novelle. Importanza in primo luogo determinata dalla posizione dell'autore nei confronti della produzione figurativa, nella quale, uomo politico di successo, è direttamente coinvolto in qualità di ideatore di opère pittoriche di grande rilievo nella città, a carattere sia religioso, sia profano. Posizione, questa, che offre un eccezionale punto d'osservazione sulla funzione dell'arte figurativa "vera fonte di bellezza", quindi di prestigio e di potere, in rapporto aile nuove esigenze di espressione e affermazione sia dell'individuo che della civitas tutta.

Béla Zsolt Szakács the Fresco Cycle of the Holy Virgin in the Franciscan
Béla Zsolt Szakács The Fresco Cycle of the Holy Virgin in the Franciscan Church of Keszthely The fresco cycles of the former Franciscan church at Keszthely in Western Hungary count to the richest examples of this art in Central Europe. After its discovery in 1974, its restoration took almost a decade and it was published in several articles and catalogue entries. However, there are still obscure points in the decoration system among which I would like to clarify to a certain extant the cycle of the Holy Virgin. The Franciscan church was built by one of the most important aristocrats of his age, Stephen (II) Lackfi, who was an important member of the court of King Louis the Great (i.e. ban of Croatia and Dalmatia 1371-72, voivode of Transylvania 1372-76), and King Sigismund (palatine between 1387-92), but after loosing this position he revolted against the king and was massacred in February of 1397. He was buried in the Franciscan church at Keszthely where his tombstone is still preserved. For the dating of the church, the keystones can serve as starting points. In the sanctuary there is a keystone with the damaged coat of arms of the Angevin dynasty and another one representing the dragon of the Lackfi family, thus that part was surely built before 1397. In the nave, however, the symbols of another family, the Gersei Petõ, can be found, which can be attested in the region after 1404 and owned the town from 1427. The fresco cycle is limited to the sanctuary. Since in the lower zone painted symbols of the Lackfi family are preserved, it was probably ready before the founder's death of 1397.
