  • The Domed Temple in Renaissance Italy and in Early Printed Sources
    CHAPTER EIGHT THE DOMED TEMPLE IN RENAISSANCE ITALY AND IN EARLY PRINTED SOURCES During the Italian Renaissance the motif of the circular or octagonal Temple of Solomon took on a life of its own, for it became linked to the idea of a centralized church plan. Such a circular plan with its uniformity and har- mony came to connote the justice of God. Architects of the period ranked round and domical temples above all others, often spurred on, additionally, by their admiration for classical Roman architecture such as the Pantheon.1 In this climate, evoking Solomon’s Temple as a circular building was per- fectly natural, even though it contradicted the biblical text and the rectilin- ear measurements supposedly handed down by God.2 One of the first Renaissance paintings to include a circular Temple is Perugino’s “Delivery of the Keys to St. Peter” in the Sistine Chapel, dating from 1481. (fig. 8.1) Perugino executed the painting under the patronage of Sixtus IV, the pope responsible for the remodeling of the old Capella Magna into the new Sistine Chapel. The architecture and the mural paintings were planned simultaneously in the 1470s and were developed to emphasize the primacy of Rome and the papacy. The Perugino image reflects precisely that theme. In a wide piazza in front of the Temple, Christ gives the keys of temporal and spiritual power to the kneeling Peter. The Gospel passage referenced is Jesus’ pronouncement that he will hand over the keys of heaven to Peter (Matthew 16:18–20). Though Matthew’s Gospel records Jesus’ words, the text does not relate the actual handover—that had to be imagined.

  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)
    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.

  • The Last Supper Seen Six Ways by Louis Inturrisi the New York Times, March 23, 1997
    1 Andrea del Castagno’s Last Supper, in a former convent refectory that is now a museum. The Last Supper Seen Six Ways By Louis Inturrisi The New York Times, March 23, 1997 When I was 9 years old, I painted the Last Supper. I did it on the dining room table at our home in Connecticut on Saturday afternoon while my mother ironed clothes and hummed along with the Texaco. Metropolitan Operative radio broadcast. It took me three months to paint the Last Supper, but when I finished and hung it on my mother's bedroom wall, she assured me .it looked just like Leonardo da Vinci's painting. It was supposed to. You can't go very wrong with a paint-by-numbers picture, and even though I didn't always stay within the lines and sometimes got the colors wrong, the experience left me with a profound respect for Leonardo's achievement and a lingering attachment to the genre. So last year, when the Florence Tourist Bureau published a list of frescoes of the Last Supper that are open to the public, I was immediately on their track. I had seen several of them, but never in sequence. During the Middle Ages the ultima cena—the final supper Christ shared with His disciples before His arrest and crucifixion—was part of any fresco cycle that told His life story. But in the 15th century the Last Supper began to appear independently, especially in the refectories, or dining halls, of the convents and monasteries of the religious orders founded during the Middle Ages.

Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

  • The Last Supper’ by Leonardo Da Vinci
    ‘The Last Supper’ by Leonardo da Vinci Background Information This fresco called ‘The Last Supper’ was painted by Leonardo da Vinci on the wall of a monastery’s dining hall in Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy, during the 16th century. Unlike other frescoes, it was painted when the wall was dry, not wet, using tempera paint. This has meant that the painting has deteriorated a lot over time. It has been extensively restored for that reason. It is believed that it took over three years for it to be completed. The fresco measures over eight metres in width and over 4 metres in height. Take a look at the following labels. See if you can link them into the correct part of the painting using the clues given. Draw a line between each one to the correct part of the painting to do this.

  • SAINT NICHOLAS and the BIRTH of CHRIST (A Christmas Sunday Sermon)
    SAINT NICHOLAS AND THE BIRTH OF CHRIST (A Christmas Sunday sermon) John 1:1-18 Jolly old St. Nicholas Lean your ear this way Don't you tell a single soul What I'm going to say Christmas Eve is coming soon Now, you dear old man Whisper what you'll bring to me Tell me if you can… Such are the opening lines to that well-known song that originated as a civil war era poem written by Emily Huntington Miller. Interestingly the music to which the poem is connected was composed by John Pierson McCaskey, the former mayor of Lancaster after whom the J.P. McCaskey High School is named! Around the same time that Emily wrote her poem, Benjamin Hanby (in 1864) wrote "Up on the House Top" with its graphic words, Up on the housetop, reindeer pause, Out jumps good old Santa Claus. Down through the chimney with lots of toys All for the little ones, Christmas joys… But at this time of celebration of the birth of Jesus, how did we ever end up with this red- caped, white bearded, overweight man named St. Nicholas or Santa Claus who rides around in a sleigh driven by 8 – make that 9 if the visibility is bad – reindeer? The answer goes back a long, long, long ways. Hollywood recently came out with the quite good film about 19th century Charles Dickens and his writing of The Christmas Carol (the film quite badly entitled "The Man Who Invented Christmas"), but the traditions associated with "jolly old Saint Nicholas" go back much further than the 19th century.

  • A Little Rome at Home
    A little Rome at home An exhibition of Michelangelo’s frescoes opens at MacArthur Center today Delphian Sybyl from “Michelangelo – A Different View.” The exhibition lets viewers see details they couldn’t spot at the Sistine Chapel. (Courtesy of Virginia Arts Festival ) BY DENISE M. WATSONSTAFF WRITER For the next three weeks, locals can take a Roman holiday in Norfolk. The Virginia Arts Festival and MacArthur Center are co-presenting “Michelangelo — A Different View,” which includes high-resolution reproductions of the artist’s famous frescos from the Sistine Chapel in Rome. The exhibition comprises nearly 50 pieces by Renaissance masters, primarily Michelangelo’s depictions of Biblical stories, from the creation of Adam to Christ’s administering the last judgment. Also in the show are 14 reproductions of the “Quattrocento” frescoes that decorate some of the chapel’s walls, which were completed by Pietro Perugino, Sandro Botticelli, Cosimo Rosselli and Domenico Ghirlandaio, one of Michelangelo’s teachers. Images of the interior and exterior of the Sistine Chapel are also included. The fabric panels, the largest more than 18 feet tall, will be displayed in the former Forever 21 on the second floor of the mall. The exhibition allows viewers to see details they couldn’t normally spot, even in a visit to Rome. The chapel’s ceiling hovers 70 feet above visitors’ heads. Michelangelo spent four years, 1508 to 1512, transforming the ceiling of the chapel, working from special scaffolding he created. He returned to the chapel and painted the elaborate “Last Judgment” on the altar wall between 1536 and 1541.

  • Reinterpreting Hieronymus Bosch's Table Top of the Seven
    REINTERPRETING HIERONYMUS BOSCH'S TABLE TOP OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS AND THE FOUR LAST THINGS THROUGH THE SEVEN DAY PRAYERS OF THE DEVOTIO MODERNA Eunyoung Hwang, B.A., M.F.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2000 APPROVED: Scott Montgomery, Major Professor Larry Gleeson, Committee Member Don Schol, Committee Member and Associate Dean William McCarter, Chair of Art History and Art Education Jack Davis, Dean of the School of Visual Art C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Hwang, Eunyoung, Reinterpreting Hieronymus Bosch's Table Top of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things through the Seven Day Prayers of the Devotio Moderna. Master of Arts (Art History), August 2000, 140 pp., 35 illustrations, references, 105 titles. This thesis examines Hieronymus Bosch's Table Top of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things. Instead of using an iconographical analysis, the thesis investigates the relationship between Bosch's art and the Devotio Moderna, which has been speculated by many Bosch scholars. For this reason, a close study was done to examine the Devotio Moderna and its influence on Bosch's painting. Particular interest is paid to the seven day prayers of the Devotio Moderna, the subjects depicted in Bosch's painting, how Bosch's painting blesses its viewer during the time of one's prayer, and how the use of gaze ties all of these ideas together.
