  • TASTE and PRUDENCE in the ART of JUSEPE DE RIBERA by Hannah Joy Friedman a Dissertation Submitted to the Johns Hopkins Universit
    TASTE AND PRUDENCE IN THE ART OF JUSEPE DE RIBERA by Hannah Joy Friedman A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May, 2016 Copyright Hannah Joy Friedman, 2016 (c) Abstract: Throughout his long career in southern Italy, the Spanish artist Jusepe de Ribera (1591- 1652) showed a vested interest in the shifting practices and expectations that went into looking at pictures. As I argue, the artist’s evident preoccupation with sensory experience is inseparable from his attention to the ways in which people evaluated and spoke about art. Ribera’s depictions of sensory experience, in works such as the circa 1615 Five Senses, the circa 1622 Studies of Features, and the 1637 Isaac Blessing Jacob, approach the subject of the bodily senses in terms of evaluation and questioning, emphasizing the link between sensory experience and prudence. Ribera worked at a time and place when practices of connoisseurship were not, as they are today, a narrow set of preoccupations with attribution and chronology but a wide range of qualitative evaluations, and early sources describe him as a tasteful participant in a spoken connoisseurial culture. In these texts, the usage of the term “taste,” gusto, links the assessment of Ribera’s work to his own capacity to judge the works of other artists. Both taste and prudence were crucial social skills within the courtly culture that composed the upper tier of Ribera’s audience, and his pictures respond to the tensions surrounding sincerity of expression or acceptance of sensory experience in a novel and often satirical vein.

    2020/2021 1 Foreword When I started this piece in early March, the number of confirmed Coronavirus infections worldwide had just passed 100,000. Today, as some museums in the UK re-open, the number of confirmed cases worldwide is nearly 11 million, with over half a million deaths across 188 countries. Early March seems like a distant world, with countless lives now ended prematurely, and many families, households, and businesses facing an uncertain future. Phrases like “the new normal”, “socially-distanced”, “Zooming”, “online learning”, “shielding” and “household bubbling” have all now entered our lingua franca. We’ve also learned more about the effects of this terrible disease, how it seems to affect certain communities and age groups more than others, and how it may have existed undetected for many weeks, even months, before the first recorded cases emerged in January. This much still seems certain: the number of reported infections will rise, and it’s likely that all of us will have to keep on changing the way we live: in travel, work, shopping, education and business. The publishing world has seen the shuttering of bookstores, a decline in books sales, short-notice movements in production from the Far East to Europe and back again, and the cancellation of the Bologna, London and Paris book fairs. While Frankfurt Book Fair is officially set to happen in October, it’s unclear how many of us will physically visit it. But we can, and must, build some collective head-space away from Head Office and General Enquiries the seeming unstoppable narrative of anxiety-inducing events, and look D Giles Limited 66 High Street forward to a better place, where difficult truths are confronted, discussed Lewes and debated, and resolved.
