Leonardo al Lago 4 Jacopo Pontormo, The Visitation, 1528-29, San Michele, Carmignano Jacopo Pontormo, The Christ Judge with the Creation of Eve (Drawing fot the choir of San Lorenzo church, Florence) and Group of dead people, 1546-56, Uffizi, Florence 5 « Having then closed off the chapel with walls, hoardings and curtains, and given himself over to complete solitude, he kept it for the space of eleven years so firmly locked up, that no living soul except himself ever went in there, neither friends, nor anyone else. ( …) On the other wall is depicted the universal Resurrection of the dead, which is to be on the last glorious day, with such variety and confusion that the event itself will perhaps not be more real or, so to say, true to life that Pontormo has painted it (…) But I have never been able to understand the doctrine of this scene (though I know that Jacopo had a good mind himself and kept company with learned and well-educated people), specifically what he meant to signify in that part of the painting where Christ on high his bringing the dead back to life, while below His feet is God the Father, creating Adam and Eve. (…) in any place at all did he pay heed to any order of composition, or measurement, or time, or variety in the faces, or changes in the flesh colours, or, in brief, to any rule, proportion or law of perspective; and instead, the work is full of nude figures with an order, design, invention, composition, colouring, and painting done in his own personal way, with so much melancholy and so little pleasure for the beholder, that I am resolved, since even I do not understand it though I am painted myself, to let those who see it judge for themselves. For I truly believe I would drive myself mad to become embroiled with this painting, just as, it seems to me, in the eleven years he spent on it, Jacopo sought to embroil himself and whoever looks at it with those extaordinary figures » Giorgio Vasari, The Lives, 1568 Rosso Fiorentino, Descent of the Cross, 1521, Pinacoteca communala, Volterra 6 7 Rosso Fiorentino, Marriage of the Virgin, 1521, Pinacoteca communala, Volterra 8 Raphaël, The Marriage of the Virgin, 1504, 170 x 117 cm, Pincoteca Rosso Fiorentino, Marriage of the Virgin, 1521, Pinacoteca Brera, Milan communala, Volterra Parmigianino, Self-portrait, 1523-24, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna 9 « Then for Madonna Maria Bufolini of Città di Castello, Francesco was commissioned to paint a panel picture intended to be placed in San Salvatore del Lauro, in a chapel near to the door; and in this he painted in the air the figure of Our Lady who is reading and has the Christ Child between her knees, while on the ground below he showed, kneeling on one knee, the figure of St John, who turns his body and points to Christ, in an extraordinarily beautiful attitude, and also here on earth the foreshortened figure of St Jerome in Penitence, lying asleep. But he was prevented from bringing this work to full completion by the sack of Rome in 1527, which not only for a time caused the banishment of the arts but also the taking of the lives of many craftsmen; and Francesco himself came very near to losing his own life, because when the sack of Rome began he was so wrapped in his work that even after the soldiers had started to penetrate the houses and there were already several Germans in his, despite all the uproar he remained intent on what he was doing. But when they reached him and saw him at his work, they were thunderstruck at the painting which they saw, and, like the gentlemen they must have been, let him continue. And so while the poor city of Rome was being devastated by the impious cruelties of those barbarian troops, profane and sacred things alike, with no respect to God or men, Francesco was provided for and greatly honoured by those Germans, and protected from all harm. » Parmigianino, Vision of St Jerome, 1527, National Gallery, Londres 10 Raphaël, Madonna of Foligno, 1511-12, Musei Vaticani, Rome Parmigianino, Vision of St Jerome, 1527, National Gallery, Londres Michelangelo, Bruges Madonna, Onze Lieve Vrouw Church , Bruges Parmigianino, Vision of St Jerome, 1527, National Gallery, Londres 11 Leonardo da Vinci, St John the Baptist, Leonardo da Vinci, The Virgin St Ann and the 1513-16, 69 X 57 cm, Louvre, Paris Child, 1498-1500, 142 x 104,5 cm, National Gallery, London Parmigianino, Vision of St Jerome, 1527, National Gallery, Londres « And would to God that he had always pursued his studies in painting, and not indulged in fantasies of solidifying quicksilver to make himself richer than he had been created by Nature and Heaven! For then he would have been without equal in painting, and truly unique. Whereas by seeking for what he could never find, he wasted time, scorned his art, and did harm to his own life and fame (…) Finally, still always obsessed by that alchemy of his, like all the others who have once lost their wits over it, and changing from gentle and fastidious person into an almost savage man quite different from what he was, with beard and long straggling locks, he was assailed, in this sorry state of melancholy and oddness, by a grave fever and dysentry which in a few days made him pass to another life; and in this way he found an end to the travails of this world, which was never known to him save as a place full of trials and tribulations (…) Francesco took delight in playing lute, and his hand and mind were so well accomodated to this, that he was no less excellent at it than he was in painting. But it is certainly true that he had not worked capriciously and had put aside the foolishness of the alchemists, he would truly have been one of the rarest and most outstanding painters of our age (…) I certainly blame anyone who is happy to work very little or not at all, and always wastes time on thinking up schemes, seeing that the wish to use trickery and so attain a goal one cannot achieve otherwise often causes one to lose what one knows in seeking what cannot be known. » Giorgio Vasari, The Lives…, 1568 12 Parmigianino, Judith, ca.1530 Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti), Miracle of the Slave, 1548, Michel-Ange, the Sunset, vers 1525, New Sacristy, San Accademia, Venise Lorenzo, Florence 13 Raphaël, Sacrifice at Lystra, c. 1515-16, Victoria an Albert Museum, Londres Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti), Miracle of the Slave, 1548, Accademia, Venise Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti), Discovery of the Body of St Mark, 1562-66, Pinacoteca Brera, Milan 14 Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti), Translation of the Body of St Mark, 1562-66, Accademia, Venise Tintoretto, Massacre of the Innocents, c.1579-81, Scuola di San Rocco, Venise 15 Tintoretto, Massacre of the Innocents, c. 1528-27, Scuola di San Rocco, Raphael Sanzio, Fire in the Borgo, c.1514, Vatican, Rome Venise Leonardo da Vinci, Last Supper, 1498, Santa Maria delle Grazie Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti), Washing of the feet, c.1547, Prado, Madrid 16 Hendrik Goltzius.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-13150-7 — Raphael and the Redefinition of Art in Renaissance Italy Robert Williams Frontmatter More Information i RAPHAEL AND THE REDEFINITION OF ART IN RENAISSANCE ITALY S Raphael was one of the most important artists of the Italian Renaissance and one of the most important and inl uential in the entire history of art. His prac- tice of “synthetic” or “critical” imitation became a model of creative method; his engagement with the principle of decorum revealed its deeper expressive and philosophical signii cance, and the operation of his workshop helped to redei ne the nature of the work that artists do. Robert Williams draws upon the history of literature, philosophy, and religion, as well as upon economic history, to support his detailed and illuminating accounts of Raphael’s major works. His analyses serve as the foundation for a set of hypotheses about the aims and aspirations of Italian Renaissance art in general and the nature of art- historical inquiry. Robert Williams is Professor of the History of Art at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He received his Ph.D. at Princeton, under the supervision of John Shearman, and is the author of Art, Theory, and Culture in Sixteenth- Century Italy: From Techne to Metatechne (Cambridge, 1997) and Art Theory: An Historical Introduction, which has been translated into Chinese and Korean. Among his recent publications is Michael Baxandall, Vision, and the Work of Words , co- edited with Peter Mack of the University of Warwick. © in this web service

The church is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Heavenly Altar ("Aracoeli"). The basilica is built on the lower of the two peaks of the Capitoline Hill, called the Arx, on the site of the Temple of Juno Moneta. It is sandwiched between the splendor of Michelangelo’s Renaissance masterpiece of urban architecture, the Campidoglio, and the awkward enormity of the Victor Emmanuel Monument.

C. AND E. C. JACK 16 HENRIETTA STREET, W.C. AND EDINBURGH 1911 Art Library *VD so PREFACE Although I have little practice with the pen, I feel impelled to say a few words upon this History of Painting, and upon the man who has written it. Here is a book on painting in which the writer comes into the art and tries to appreciate it, instead of dishing up hackneyed laws and recipes for the making of it. All arts are akin ; and Haldane Macfall realises this vital fact. If the writers upon art would only hesitate at times, and remember that those who practise it have been through the difficulties of the perplexing business in their apprenticeship to their craft, and have accepted or rejected most of the theories that they pour forth as discoveries, there would be less hidebound talk about painting. I take it that Haldane Macfall has done what we do : he has been through the toil of apprenticeship to his craft ; he has found all the bookish theories to be dead stuff; and then he has gone straight to life, come to grips with life, and discovered that living art is only to be found in the interpretation of Life— in the personal expression of the impressions that life has made upon him.
