Poussin, Ballet, and the Birth of French Classicism COLUMBIA Poussin, Ballet, and the Birth of French Classicism Emily A. Beeny Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Emily A. Beeny All rights reserved Abstract Poussin, Ballet, and the Birth of French Classicism Emily A. Beeny Examining a group of pictures painted in the early-to-mid 1630s, this dissertation sets out to demonstrate that Nicolas Poussin’s turn to the subject of dance helped him transform his style from the sensuous Venetian manner of his early years to the cool, crisp, relief-like approach that would characterize his mature work and form the basis for French Classicism in subsequent decades. Painting dancers allowed Poussin to work through the problem of arresting motion, to explore the affective potential of the body represented, and to discover a measured, geometric compositional method capable of containing and harnessing that potential. The resulting pictures, painted in Rome, were warmly received in Paris by a group of early collectors that included dancers, patrons, amateurs, and theorists of another modern French art: the ballet de cour. Ballet’s cultivation of a fiercely controlled physicality, its wild Dionysian characters and learned Apollonian conceits, above all, its insistence on a hidden geometric order underlying the chaos of embodied experience primed early French observers of Poussin’s dancing pictures to recognize something of themselves in his new approach. Though Poussin did not set out to define French Classicism, and though his brief service as premier peintre to Louis XIII demonstrates how ill-suited he was to the role of official artist, the fact that his dancing pictures shared so much—on the level of patronage, iconography, even, perhaps, theoretical underpinnings— with the ballet de cour may help explain why these works (and, indeed, Poussin himself) were so eagerly appropriated by France in the Classical Age.

Roberts Professor George Haggerty, UC Riverside Professor Kevis Goodman Fall 2013 Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment Copyright 2013 by Jonathan Rhodes Lee ABSTRACT Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Throughout the 1740s and early 1750s, Handel produced a dozen dramatic oratorios. These works and the people involved in their creation were part of a widespread culture of sentiment. This term encompasses the philosophers who praised an innate “moral sense,” the novelists who aimed to train morality by reducing audiences to tears, and the playwrights who sought (as Colley Cibber put it) to promote “the Interest and Honour of Virtue.” The oratorio, with its English libretti, moralizing lessons, and music that exerted profound effects on the sensibility of the British public, was the ideal vehicle for writers of sentimental persuasions. My dissertation explores how the pervasive sentimentalism in England, reaching first maturity right when Handel committed himself to the oratorio, influenced his last masterpieces as much as it did other artistic products of the mid- eighteenth century. When searching for relationships between music and sentimentalism, historians have logically started with literary influences, from direct transferences, such as operatic settings of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, to indirect ones, such as the model that the Pamela character served for the Ninas, Cecchinas, and other garden girls of late eighteenth-century opera.

    4 awfw ^ifjljtLintii \^Jfflti4rij THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART Succeeding the majesty of the Sun King's reign, the courts oi Louis XV and XVI turned artistic canons from splendid pomp to the quintessence of grace. Charming refinements ruled manners and tastes throughout the eighteenth cen­ tury until, with the monarchy, they were overthrown and re­ placed by the austere classicism of Napoleon's Empire. Eighteenth-century art­ ists, many of whom de­ pended upon royal pa­ tronage, were masters at recording and popu­ larizing the balls and banquets, the theatrical per­ formances, the hunts and picnics that were the daily distractions of a pleasure-hungry court. Highly creative and receptive to a wide range of subject matter these artists found inspiration as readily on OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY Mount Olympus as in the shepherd's bower or the rococo drawing room. A shift in interest from the lives of gods and heroes to the pleasures of contemporary life, particularly the delights of the privileged classes, is evident in the estampes galantes, elaborately engraved after designs by Moreau Le Jeune, Baudouin, and Lavreince. They are the most illuminating documents of aristocratic manners, of costume, and of the decoration of houses and palaces. These documents of not acquire original drawings.
