  • Lamentation of Christ
    Francisco de Goya y Lucientes Lamentation of Christ Painted about 1767/68. Oil on cartoon on canvas. Measurements: 35 x 23 cm (13 ³/ x 9 inches) Description We are facing a picture representing a Lamentation of Christ whose authorship is unanimously assigned to Goya in the catalogues by Gudiol 1970 n8 /1980 n5; Gassier & Wilson1970 n8/1984 n12; De Angelis 1974 /76 n19; Camón Aznar 1980 pág. 42; Xavier de Salas 1984 n9; J.L. Morales 1990 n6 / 1997 n3; Arturo Ansón "Goya y Zaragoza" 1995 pág. 61; catalogue online Fundación Goya y Aragón, año 2012. All these authors coincide in dating this work between 1768 and 1770, just before his journey to Italy, and in considering it one of the devotional paintings young Goya carried out at Fuendetodos. This would coincide with his origin of having belonged, according to Gudiol, to a family of Fuendetodos. The IOMR has made a comparative study of the painting in which we point out its stylistic analogies with other works by Goya: The immediacy and reality with which the painter treats the scene so that one may feel it close to life and real, where the artist reveals the human pathos of death with no conventional mannerisms, excluding figures of the celestial world, such as angels, which might confuse his pure sense of reality so that what first surprises one in the picture and what, in fact, makes it closer to Goya and therefore reminds one of the engraving, Desastre Nº 26 No se puede mirar and Nº 14 of the same series, Duro es el paso in which Goya treats death with a completely contemporary closeness.

Gift of Charles R. Crane, 13.1.1 Fall 2020 Faculty Curriculum: Resiliency and Surviving Trauma Artist Biography Few surviving archival documents provide us with details of the life and career of the painter Colijn de Coter (Netherlandish, ca. 1455—ca. 1538/1539). His name is mentioned in the contracts for two artworks (both of which are now lost or unidentified) and is inscribed on only three surviving paintings, although more have been attributed to him (like the Chazen’s painting). His birthdate can be extrapolated from the information presented in a later document dated 1479 in which he is described as a married painter and the tenant of a house in Brussels. He appears registered as a free master with the painters’ Guild of St. Luke in Antwerp as “Colyn van Brusele” (Colin of Brussels), who was commissioned to paint the vault of a chapel near Mechelen. The account books of the Brussels Confraternity of St. Eligius record that the artist was paid for a painting between 1509 and 1511. He likely died in or shortly before 1538-39. Known at the time as the “Low Countries,” the areas of present-day Belgium (including Brussels), Luxembourg, and the Netherlands were under the rule of the duchy of Burgundy from the end of the fourteenth to the end of the fifteenth centuries, along with Northern France.

This is the penultimate release in Vasily Petrenko’s internationally acclaimed symphonic cycle. The award-winning Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra is the UK’s oldest continuing professional symphony orchestra, dating from 1840.
