FRANCESCO BASSANO Ii
FRANCESCO BASSANO ii (Bassano del Grappa 1549 - Venice 1592) Autumn, with Moses Receiving the Ten Commandments oil on canvas 78 x 103 cm (30¾ x 40½ in) Provenance: Sale, Pescheteau-Badin, Gadeau et Leroy, Paris 29 April 1998, lot 77. Exhibited: To be included in the forthcoming exhibition Arte e Vino, Palazzo della Gran Guardia, Verona. HE RICH ABUNDANCE OF THE HARVEST IS charmingly illustrated in Autumn, with Moses Receiving the Ten Commandments. Set within a lush, mountainous landscape the present work shows rural land workers processing the fruits of their labours, as the sky darkens into the evening. In the Tforeground, along a river bank, the early stages of the wine picking and pressing process are depicted. On the right, a couple pick grapes from a vine that are then placed in woven baskets. Alongside the pair an older woman, accompanied by a loyal spaniel, leans down to lift a pair of baskets. Standing inside a barrel, a young barefoot boy squelches the freshly picked grapes with his feet, his tunic held up above his ankles. On the left, two oxen are tethered and tended by a young boy wearing a feather plumed hat, a wooden stick slung over his shoulder. The oxen are evidently hauling the large wooden barrel that sits atop a wooden cart - presumably for transporting the freshly pressed grape juice for winemaking. Alongside the animals, a young girl kneels and drinks some of the russet coloured liquid from the grapes with a beaker. Beside her, more freshly picked grapes are decanted into a barrel by a bearded man. -

LVisitare la splendida collezione nel palazzo di Carzago (ne ha scritto il suo curatore, Stefano Lusardi, sul numero 131 di AB) significa rivivere il legame tra la storia gardesana e la civiltà lagunare dentro la luce vibrante della pittura sei-set- tecentesca, che della Serenissima ha fatto l’ultimo orizzonte per l’arte italiana. La stessa villa, sede del museo da poco inaugurato, dimostra come l’architettura solida e austera, così tipica di un’antica nobiltà locale, possa dialogare con la raffinatezza che i palazzi del Canal Grande custodiscono da secoli. Ecco dunque la sorpresa, il senso di un percorso che si snoda come una collana di perle. 74 75 DOSSIER Nel MarteS, i protagonisti vestono gli abiti della mi- Balestra, Alessandro Varotari tologia, le scene si fanno spettacolari.

Palazzo Querini Stampalia Portego
Palazzo Querini Stampalia Museum Portego entrance Giovanni Mythology Bellini room room The earliest documents concerning the construction of the palace are from 1513-14 and point to Nicolò Querini as commissioner of the works. Grandson Francesco continued the works of enlargement and restoration in various stages throughout the first half of the century. From this period archival documents note nothing of importance until the acquisitions of the following century: in 1614 the building which is now the east wing of the palace and in 1653 part of the house between the canal and the church in Campo Santa Maria Formosa. The last radical transformation of Ca’ Querini was between 1789 and 1797 for the occasion of the marriage in 1790 between Alvise, son of Zuanne, and Maria Teresa Lippomano. In addition to the elevation of the third floor, completed after 1795, there was a large scale restructuring of the interiors with the reduction of the length of the portego and the evolution of the decorative scheme on which worked Jacopo Guarana, Davide Rossi, ornamentalist Giuseppe Bernardino Bison, gilder Domenico Sartori and brothers and stucco workers Giuseppe and Pietro Castelli. The museum is presented in such a way as to recall a patrician residence of the eighteenth century with the display of all of the collections of the family: furnishings, porcelain, sculpture, fabrics, chandeliers, globes, as well as paintings, in order to bring to life the spaces once truly inhabited by the Querini. A rich theatre where every detail plays an important role, from the fabrics in some rooms woven according to original patterns, to the curtains and the pelmets which adorn the windows to the original chandeliers. -
Un Ritratto Di Collezionista in Veste Di Perseo Di Bernardo Strozzi*
Linda Borean Un ritratto di collezionista in veste di Perseo di Bernardo Strozzi* «The Burlington Magazine», CXLII, n. 1168, 2000, pp. 429-433 Nel 1937 i fratelli Jean Hugues Maurice e Jeanne Magnin legarono allo stato francese, che la trasformò in un museo nazionale l’anno successivo, la loro collezione d’arte, costruita, quadro dopo quadro, attraverso cinquant’anni di acquisizioni all’Hotel Drouot di Parigi. Questo è quanto sappiamo sulla provenienza della maggior parte dei dipinti che oggi formano il Musée Magnin di Digione, sede di una delle più originali collezioni di pittura italiana del Seicento visibile in Francia, espressione di scelte raffinate e talvolta in controtendenza rispetto a quanto, agli inizi del nostro secolo, poteva attirare l’attenzione dei collezionisti. A quell’epoca un “uomo di gusto” non avrebbe osato dichiarare la sua ammirazione per una tela del Seicento francese o italiano1, e Paul Jamot, amico dei fratelli Magnin, nella prefazione al catalogo della collezione redatto dal proprietario nel 1938 - mai pubblicato -, non spende una parola sui quadri di scuola lombarda, napoletana, romana e veneziana dell’età barocca, a testimoniare il mancato apprezzamento della pittura del XVII secolo nella Francia del primo Novecento2. Tra i dipinti italiani del Seicento entrati a far parte della collezione Magnin - ad una data e a attraverso un’asta non meglio precisabili3-, compare un quadro di Bernardo Strozzi raffigurante, così recita la didascalia del catalogo del museo curato da Brejon de Lavergnée nel 1980 “Portrait de (?) Giulio Strozzi en Persèe”(fig. 1)4. Il ritrovamento di nuovi documenti consente oggi di rintracciare l’antica provenienza e di risolvere gli interrogativi sollevati dall’iconografia di questo intrigante quadro, che sotto il profilo tipologico sembra collocarsi a metà strada tra il dipinto di soggetto profano e il ritratto. -
Castrati Singers and the Lost "'Cords"9 Meyer M
744 CASTRATI SINGERS AND THE LOST "'CORDS"9 MEYER M. MELICOW, M.D. * Given Professor Emeritus of Uropathology Research Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons New York, New York In the Italian language, nouns of feminine gender end with "a", while those of masculine gender end with "o"-yet we label Joan Sutherland a soprano, not soprano and Marian Anderson a contralto, not contralto. Why? T HE year 1600, with the performance of Euridice composed by Jacopo Peri, marks the birth of modem opera. 1-4 Prior to that date, Greek- style dramas were performed in which polyphonic choruses dominated. Vincenzo Galilei, the father of Galileo, and Jacopo Peri rebelled against this and introduced a significant innovation by employing single vocal parts consisting of arias and recitatives. This in time led to bel canto, often for sheer vocal display. At first there were no public opera houses, and performances were given in private theaters or chapels belonging to kings, dukes, bishops, etc. But opera soon caught on and in 1637 the first public opera houses opened in Venice. By 1700 Venice had 17 opera houses and there were hundreds throughout Italy. Some were very ornate, displaying a mixture of baroque and rococo styles. Soon there were performances in Germany (sangspiel), France (opera bouffe, later opera comique), Poland, Sweden, and England (where it was labeled "ballad opera"). 1,2,3 Composers and producers of opera had a problem because for centuries women were not allowed to sing in church or theater. There were no women singers; all roles, male and female, were played by men. -

Italian influences, mainly of Renaissance, Mannerism and Baroque art, can be identified both on the iconographic and the stylistic level of artworks, with theoretical support. This article explores facets of the dialogue of secular painting in the Ionian with Italian art in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, focussing on works and artists that highlight significant aspects of this multilayered phenomenon and also through secondary channels that expand the horizon of analysis. Procession paintings, with their various connotations, and portraiture, which flourished in secular Ionian art, offer the most interesting material as regards the selection, reception and management of Italian models and points of reference. -

ÉBLOUISSANTE Venice: Europe and the Arts in the 18th Century Grand Palais 26 september 2018 – 21 January 2019 Venice fascinated Europe in the 18th century. Its site, on islands transformed into a monumental city, its political regime, its artistic and musical traditions and its carnival made it attractive and unique. At the time, the Republic of Venice, with its rich history, was among the key powers in Europe. But throughout the century, the city also suffered a series of crises, both economic and social, which led to its decline and precipitated its fall in 1797 at the hands of Bonaparte’s armies. Despite this difficult context, the city’s arts scene still displayed an exuberant vitality. Painters, sculptors, decorators and designers were among the most illustrious on the Italian stage. Composers, playwrights, instrumentalists and singers were famous throughout Europe. It is this last golden age that the exhibition aims to recount, with an emphasis on the influence of Venetian artists in England, France, Germany and Spain. It also evokes the power of the myth reflected in their works inspired by the joyful and decadent Serenissima. In addition to fine art, the exhibition also seeks to recreate the atmosphere of these last flames of a civilisation. To this end, the scenography has been entrusted to Macha Makeïeff, a set designer renowned for her lively inventiveness. She has enriched it with the performing arts of theatre, music and dance, brought together for the first time in an exhibition at the Grand Palais, every Wednesday between 8 pm and 9.30 pm, from 3 October to 16 January.
