  • Reading 1.2 Caravaggio: the Construction of an Artistic Personality
    READING 1.2 CARAVAGGIO: THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ARTISTIC PERSONALITY David Carrier Source: Carrier, D., 1991. Principles of Art History Writing, University Park, Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania State University Press, pp.49–79. Copyright ª 1991 by The Pennsylvania State University. Reproduced by permission of the publisher. Compare two accounts of Caravaggio’s personality: Giovanni Bellori’s brief 1672 text and Howard Hibbard’s Caravaggio, published in 1983. Bellori says that Caravaggio, like the ancient sculptor Demetrius, cared more for naturalism than for beauty. Choosing models, not from antique sculpture, but from the passing crowds, he aspired ‘only to the glory of colour.’1 Caravaggio abandoned his early Venetian manner in favor of ‘bold shadows and a great deal of black’ because of ‘his turbulent and contentious nature.’ The artist expressed himself in his work: ‘Caravaggio’s way of working corresponded to his physiognomy and appearance. He had a dark complexion and dark eyes, black hair and eyebrows and this, of course, was reflected in his painting ‘The curse of his too naturalistic style was that ‘soon the value of the beautiful was discounted.’ Some of these claims are hard to take at face value. Surely when Caravaggio composed an altarpiece he did not just look until ‘it happened that he came upon someone in the town who pleased him,’ making ‘no effort to exercise his brain further.’ While we might think that swarthy people look brooding more easily than blonds, we are unlikely to link an artist’s complexion to his style. But if portions of Bellori’s text are alien to us, its structure is understandable.

  • Una Congiuntura Romana Nella Marca Di Fine Duecento? Il Vescovo Francescano Rambotto Vicomanni E La Cattedrale Di Santa Maria Maggiore a Camerino
    PORTICVM. REVISTA D’ESTUDIS MEDIEVALS NÚMERO III. ANY 2012 ISSN: 2014-0932 Una congiuntura romana nella Marca di fine Duecento? Il vescovo francescano Rambotto Vicomanni e la cattedrale di Santa Maria Maggiore a Camerino LUCA PALOZZI Istituto Nazionale di Studi sul Rinascimento, Firenze Abstract: Sullo scorcio del Settecento l’antica cattedrale di Camerino, nelle Marche, era danneggiata in maniera irrimediabile da un terremoto. Le disiecta membra dell’edificio di origine medievale confluivano nella cripta del duomo nuovo (1800-1833), dove si conservano ancora oggi. Tra queste, di grande interesse sono i resti della fabbrica duecentesca, oggetto di questo contributo. Epigrafi, sculture e frammenti architettonici permettono di ripercorrere un tratto decisivo nella vita della cattedrale medievale, e gettano nuova luce sulla committenza artistica del francescano Rambotto Vicomanni, vescovo della diocesi camerte dal 1285 alla morte, poco dopo il 1305. Già cappellano del cardinale romano Giacomo Savelli, poi papa Onorio IV (1285-1287), Rambotto auspicava il rinnovamento dell’ecclesia maior affidandosi a maestranze aggiornate sulle novità gotiche dell’Urbe. Tra gli artefici di cui si avvalse spicca il nome dello scultore marchigiano Armanno da Pioraco, influenzato in maniera decisiva dalle novità sperimentate a Roma da Arnolfo di Cambio. Parole chiave: Scultura; Gotico; Marca d’Ancona; Armanno da Pioraco; Jacopo da Camerino Abstract: Towards the end of the 18th century the ancient cathedral of Camerino, in the Marche, had been irreparably damaged by an earthquake. The medieval building’s disiecta membra merged into the crypt of the new cathedral (1800-1833), where they are still kept today. Among these, the ruins of the 13th century church, focus of this contribution, are of great interest.

  • BOZZETTO STYLE” the Renaissance Sculptor’S Handiwork*
    “BOZZETTO STYLE” The Renaissance Sculptor’s Handiwork* Irving Lavin Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton NJ It takes most people much time and effort to become proficient at manipulating the tools of visual creation. But to execute in advance sketches, studies, plans for a work of art is not a necessary and inevitable part of the creative process. There is no evidence for such activity in the often astonishingly expert and sophisticated works of Paleolithic art, where images may be placed beside or on top of one another apparently at random, but certainly not as corrections, cancellations, or “improved” replacements. Although I am not aware of any general study of the subject, I venture to say that periods in which preliminary experimentation and planning were practiced were relatively rare in the history of art. While skillful execution requires prior practice and expertise, the creative act itself, springing from a more or less unselfconscious cultural and professional memory, might be quite autonomous and unpremeditated. A first affirmation of this hypothesis in the modern literature of art history occurred more than a century-and-a-half ago when one of the great French founding fathers of modern art history (especially the discipline of iconography), Adolphe Napoléon Didron, made a discovery that can be described, almost literally, as monumental. In the introduction to his publication — the first Greek-Byzantine treatise on painting, which he dedicated to his friend and enthusiastic fellow- medievalist, Victor Hugo — Didron gave a dramatic account of a moment of intellectual illumination that occurred during a pioneering exploratory visit to Greece in August and September 1839 for the purpose of studying the medieval fresco and mosaic decorations of the Byzantine churches.1 He had, he says, wondered at the uniformity and continuity of the Greek * This contribution is a much revised and expanded version of my original, brief sketch of the history of sculptors’ models, Irving Lavin, “Bozzetti and Modelli.

  • The Rebuilding and Redecoration of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople: a Reconsideration , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 23:1 (1982:Spring) P.79
    WHARTON EPSTEIN, ANN, The Rebuilding and Redecoration of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople: A Reconsideration , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 23:1 (1982:Spring) p.79 The Rebuilding and Redecoration of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople: A Reconsideration Ann Wharton Epstein NY MATERIAL REMAINS of the Church of the Holy Apostles in A Constantinople are now inaccessibly buried under the eigh­ teenth-century Fetih Mosque. l Despite the fact that this great church no longer exists, it continues to concern art and architectural historians for a number of good reasons. After Saint Sophia, the Holy Apostles was the most important church in the capital of the Byzantine Empire, not only because of its size and dedication, but also because of its function as the burial place of the emperors from the fourth to the eleventh century. Furthermore, along with monu­ ments like the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the Holy Apostles was one of the most influential buildings of the Middle Ages, providing the model for numerous foundations with Apostolic dedications. Finally, associated with the Holy Apostles is a relatively rich cache of literary sources, including several mediaeval ekphrases or descrip­ tions. These texts have not merely aroused academic interest~ be­ cause of their impressionistic form they have also stimulated schol­ arly imagination. It is not the object of this note to review the various reconstructions of the Holy Apostles that have been put forward. Rather it is simply a reconsideration of the post-ninth­ century phases of rebuilding and of redecoration that have been postulated by Professor Richard Krautheimer and Professor Ernst Kitzinger respectively.2 These hypotheses deserve close attention as they have considerably influenced the contemporary historiography of Byzantine art.

  • Giovanni Battista Contini
    Giovanni Battista Contini Italian architect of the Late Baroque period (1641-1723) Son of Francesco and Agata Baronio was born in Rome on May 7, 1642. He had the first training of an architect by his father who "nobility educated him and sent to all the schools to which the nobles were subjected", but he also perfected under Gian Lorenzo Bernini. He was so attached to the great master that he would assist him to death and to have a portrait of him "printed on canvas with black frame". The first important commission of CONTINI to be known seems to be the erection of the catafalco for Alexander VII (1667). arrived through Bernini. In Rome, in addition to carrying out practical duties such as those of measuring and architect of the Apostolic Chamber and Architect of the Virgin Water, in which he succeeded Bernini (1681-1723), he dedicated himself particularly to the erection of family chapels and altars; but his main activity soon moved to different places and often far from Rome, and yet in the papal state. Three years after the death of Bemini, in 1683, CONTINI became principal of the Accademia di S. Luca, succeeding Luigi Garzi in a prestigious duty function as indicative of the professional stature he had reached at that time. In the Academy, however, he was disappointed, demonstrating in a way too obvious that his interest focused on practicing the profession.
