  • The Taking of Christ: Caravaggio As the Lantern-Bearer
    The Taking of Christ: Caravaggio as the Lantern-Bearer Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, The Taking of Christ, 1602, Oil on canvas. 133.5 x 169.5cm, National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin. author: alyssa cayetano The Taking of Christ (1602) is an oil painting on canvas by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, which currently resides in the National Gallery of Ireland.1 The painting was a private commission from one of Caravaggio’s lead patrons, Ciriaco Mattei, and depicts the greeting of Christ by Judas as the soldiers arrive to arrest him for his crucifixion.2 On the right side of the painting, standing among the soldiers, is a man holding a lantern. This lantern-bearer has been identified as a self-portrait of Caravaggio.3 The inclusion of a self-portrait in a biblical painting, and particularly the nature of this self-portrait in relation to dress, gesture, expression, composition, and lighting, is extremely curious. Regarding Caravaggio’s self-portraiture, Michael Fried states that “the ‘presence’ of the artist within the depicted scene is the outcome of forces far more complex and conflictual than a desire for self-representation.”4 Thus, the inclusion of Caravaggio’s own likeness is more than a mere novelty. Prior depictions of Caravaggio in his violent biblical scenes, in combination with historical documents such as police and death records, point to his self-portraiture as an expression of his spiritual distance. In this essay, I will be discussing the significance of Caravaggio’s self-portrait as the lantern-bearer in The Taking of Christ, particularly with respect to his relationship with religion.

THE BEL COMPOSTO IN GIAN LORENZO BERNINI’S CORNARO CHAPEL by Samantha Landre A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Art History at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee August 2015 ABSTRACT THE BEL COMPOSTO IN GIAN LORENZO BERNINI’S CORNARO CHAPEL by Samantha Landre The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2015 Under the Supervision of Dr. Tanya Tiffany Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s sculptural altarpiece, The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, in the Cornaro Chapel of the Roman Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria (1652), is regarded as the pinnacle of Baroque “theatricality” in Bernini’s use of the bel composto, or unification of the arts. In this thesis, I argue Bernini’s representation of the mystical event referred to the Counter- Reformation’s canonization process due to the artist’s profound engagement with Teresa’s controversial autobiography, El Libro de la Vida (1562-5).

  • Girolamo Muziano, Scipione Pulzone, and the First Generation of Jesuit Art
    journal of jesuit studies 6 (2019) 196-212 brill.com/jjs Girolamo Muziano, Scipione Pulzone, and the First Generation of Jesuit Art John Marciari The Morgan Library & Museum, New York [email protected] Abstract While Bernini and other artists of his generation would be responsible for much of the decoration at the Chiesa del Gesù and other Jesuit churches, there was more than half a century of art commissioned by the Jesuits before Bernini came to the attention of the order. Many of the early works painted in the 1580s and 90s are no longer in the church, and some do not even survive; even a major monument like Girolamo Muzia- no’s Circumcision, the original high altarpiece, is neglected in scholarship on Jesuit art. This paper turns to the early altarpieces painted for the Gesù by Muziano and Scipione Pulzone, to discuss the pictorial and intellectual concerns that seem to have guided the painters, and also to some extent to speculate on why their works are no longer at the Gesù, and why these artists are so unfamiliar today. Keywords Jesuit art – Il Gesù – Girolamo Muziano – Scipione Pulzone – Federico Zuccaro – Counter-Reformation – Gianlorenzo Bernini Visitors to the Chiesa del Gesù in Rome, or to the recent exhibition of Jesuit art at Fairfield University,1 might naturally be led to conclude that Gianlorenzo 1 Linda Wolk-Simon, ed., The Holy Name: Art of the Gesù; Bernini and His Age, Exh. cat., Fair- field University Art Museum, Early Modern Catholicism and the Visual Arts 17 (Philadelphia: Saint Joseph’s University Press, 2018).

    © Copyright 2020 Karen Marie Lark Bernini’s Blessed Ludovica Albertoni: Drapery and the Permeability of the Body Karen Marie Lark A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2020 Committee: Estelle Lingo Stuart Lingo Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Art History University of Washington Abstract Bernini’s Blessed Ludovica Albertoni: Drapery and the Permeability of the Body Karen Marie Lark Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Estelle Lingo Department of Art History Gianlorenzo Bernini’s Blessed Ludovica Albertoni has remained a footnote at the end of the artist’s long life, with scholarly treatment conveying a deep-seated discomfort with the sculpture and its possible meanings. Scholars’ inability to adequately identify the narrative moment has been compounded by a lack of direct engagement with the Ludovica’s turbulent drapery, particularly in areas which raise questions of sensuality and the body. The present examination returns to the sculptural work itself, seeking to interpret the Ludovica’s drapery with the same intensity offered to treatments of the body, and to demonstrate the centrality of permeability to Bernini’s representation of the Ludovica. Through a series of folds in the center of the sculpture which create a “cavernous opening” between the beata’s legs, Bernini engages with concerns of interior and exterior, death, dissection, wounding, and gender. Connected to the side wound of Christ and vaginal imagery, the “cavernous opening” becomes a site of Eucharistic significance through Bernini’s deeply drilled and intentionally executed drapery folds. Rather than simply providing an acknowledgement of the Eucharistic rite taking place before it, Bernini’s altarpiece can be recognized as a visual enactment of permeability, suggesting the penetration of Christ’s body and the resulting outpouring of salvation.

FRANCIS XAVIER IN EUROPE AND ASIA Rachel Miller, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Recent historical studies have focused on the vital role that Catholic saints played after the Council of Trent, investigating how these holy figures were utilized to alleviate all manner of problems besetting the Post-Tridentine Church, emerging European nation states, and individual Catholics.
