These tribulations are best exemplified in the tale of Taddeo Zuccaro, a young lad who left his home on the eastern coast of Italy at the tender age of 14 to pursue a career as an artist in the great metropolis of Rome. His tenuous journey of starvation, deprivation, sickness, and ultimately triumph—sensitively recounted by his younger brother, Federico, who would himself become an artist of great significance—will be celebrated in a major international loan exhibition organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum. On view at the Getty Center, October 2, 2007 through January 6, 2008, Taddeo and Federico Zuccaro: Artist-Brothers in Renaissance Rome is the first exhibition devoted to the artist-brothers that focuses on their relationship and brings together some of their greatest drawings.

  • The Collecting, Dealing and Patronage Practices of Gaspare Roomer
    ART AND BUSINESS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY NAPLES: THE COLLECTING, DEALING AND PATRONAGE PRACTICES OF GASPARE ROOMER by Chantelle Lepine-Cercone A thesis submitted to the Department of Art History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (November, 2014) Copyright ©Chantelle Lepine-Cercone, 2014 Abstract This thesis examines the cultural influence of the seventeenth-century Flemish merchant Gaspare Roomer, who lived in Naples from 1616 until 1674. Specifically, it explores his art dealing, collecting and patronage activities, which exerted a notable influence on Neapolitan society. Using bank documents, letters, artist biographies and guidebooks, Roomer’s practices as an art dealer are studied and his importance as a major figure in the artistic exchange between Northern and Sourthern Europe is elucidated. His collection is primarily reconstructed using inventories, wills and artist biographies. Through this examination, Roomer emerges as one of Naples’ most prominent collectors of landscapes, still lifes and battle scenes, in addition to being a sophisticated collector of history paintings. The merchant’s relationship to the Spanish viceregal government of Naples is also discussed, as are his contributions to charity. Giving paintings to notable individuals and large donations to religious institutions were another way in which Roomer exacted influence. This study of Roomer’s cultural importance is comprehensive, exploring both Northern and Southern European sources. Through extensive use of primary source material, the full extent of Roomer’s art dealing, collecting and patronage practices are thoroughly examined. ii Acknowledgements I am deeply thankful to my thesis supervisor, Dr. Sebastian Schütze.

  • Rembrandt: the Denial of Peter
    http://www.amatterofmind.us/ PIERRE BEAUDRY’S GALACTIC PARKING LOT REMBRANDT: THE DENIAL OF PETER How an artistic composition reveals the essence of an axiomatic moment of truth By Pierre Beaudry, 9/23/16 Figure 1 Rembrandt (1606-1669), The Denial of Peter, (1660) Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Page 1 of 14 http://www.amatterofmind.us/ PIERRE BEAUDRY’S GALACTIC PARKING LOT INTRODUCTION: A PRAYER ON CANVAS All four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have reported on the prediction that Jesus made during the Last Supper, stating that Peter would disown him three times before the night was over, and all four mentioned the event of that denial in one form or another. If ever there was a religious subject that was made popular for painters in the Netherlands during the first half of the seventeenth century, it was the denial of Peter. More than twenty European artists of that period, most of them were Dutch, chose to depict the famous biblical scene, but none of them touched on the subject in the profound axiomatic manner that Rembrandt did. Rembrandt chose to go against the public opinion view of Peter’s denial and addressed the fundamental issue of the axiomatic change that takes place in the mind of an individual at the moment when he is confronted with the truth of having to risk his own life for the benefit of another. This report has three sections: 1. THE STORY OF THE NIGHT WHEN PETER’S LIFE WAS CHANGED 2. THE TURBULENT SENSUAL NOISE BEHIND THE DIFFERENT POPULAR PAINTINGS OF PETER’S DENIAL 3.

    THE RUBENS HOUSE HIGHLIGHTS THE RUBENS HOUSE HIGHLIGHTS 1 THE HOUSE In 1610 Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) and his first wife Isabella Brant (1591–1626) bought a house and a piece of land in Antwerp. In the years that followed, the artist had the building enlarged after his own design, adding a covered, semi-circular statue gallery, a studio, a portico in the style of a triumphal arch, and a garden pavilion. The improvements gave his home the air of an Italian palazzo and embodied Rubens’s artistic ideals: the art of Roman Antiquity and the Italian Renaissance. He also assembled an internationally admired collection of paintings and classical sculpture at the house. Rubens lived and worked here until his death in 1640. The building is believed to have retained its original appearance until the mid-seventeenth century, at which point it was fundamentally altered.
