How has commissioning changed for the artist and for the entity requesting the art piece? What can be predicted as the future of the commissioning world? Our May issue explores the many and different ramifications of art commission in the past and in the present. Historical facts and recent scandals can make a quirky encapsulation of what is like to be commissioned to do art; to be commissioned an art piece for an individual, business, or government can sometimes be compared to making an agreement with the devil. “Commissioned artwork can be anything: a portrait, a wedding gift, artwork for a hotel, etc. Unfortunately, there are no universal rules for art commissions. Consequently, many clients take advantage of artists,” says Clara Lieu, an art critic for the Division of Experimental and Foundation studies and a professor at the Rhode Island School of Design. This issues aims to track down the history of ancient civilizations and the Renaissance in its relation to commissioned work, and its present manifestations in within political quarrels of 01 respectable art institutions. A Brief History of Artwork Commission: Ancient Rome and the Italian Renaissance An artwork commission is the act of soliciting the creation of an original piece, often on behalf of another.

  • The Emergence of the Duchy of Milan: Language and the Territorial State

Firenze University Press 1 Reti Medievali Rivista, 14, 1 (2013) <http://rivista.retimedievali.it> ISSN 1593-2214 © 2012 Firenze University Press DOI 10.6092/1593-2214/388 The emergence of the duchy of Milan: language and the territorial state di Jane Black The map that appears opposite page one of Bueno de Mesquita’s biography of Giangaleazzo Visconti is labelled Northern and Central Italy, showing the ter- ritories of Giangaleazzo Visconti in 1402; no area on the map is identified as 1 the Duchy of Milan . The titles bestowed on Giangaleazzo by Wenceslas, king of the Romans, in 1395 and 1396 had raised Milan initially, and then the other Vis- 2 conti territories in Lombardy, to the status of duchy . Giangaleazzo himself al- luded to his cities collectively as such: in the testament of 1397, produced in the first flush of his acquisition of the second diploma, he appointed his son Giovanni Maria heir to two areas – «the duchy, or rather the city and diocese of Milan», and «the duchy of the cities of Brescia, Cremona, Bergamo, Como, Lodi, Piacenza, 3 Parma, Reggio and Bobbio» . The duke would surely have been disappointed that his greatest achievement was not recognized on Bueno de Mesquita’s map. And yet the author’s terminology was more realistic than Giangaleazzo’s: it would take more than a dazzling diploma to create a new territory with a name and a rec- ognized identity.

This broader picture of court politics and diplomatic networks – which also relied on familial and kin ties – provides a way of studying the political role of women in early modern Europe. This role has to be studied taking into account the overlapping of familial and political concerns, where the intersection of women as mediators and coordinators of extended networks is a central feature of European societies.

  • 9. Chapter 2 Negotiation the Wedding in Naples 96–137 DB2622012
    Chapter 2 Negotiation: The Wedding in Naples On 1 November 1472, at the Castelnuovo in Naples, the contract for the marriage per verba de presenti of Eleonora d’Aragona and Ercole d’Este was signed on their behalf by Ferrante and Ugolotto Facino.1 The bride and groom’s agreement to the marriage had already been received by the bishop of Aversa, Ferrante’s chaplain, Pietro Brusca, and discussions had also begun to determine the size of the bride’s dowry and the provisions for her new household in Ferrara, although these arrangements would only be finalised when Ercole’s brother, Sigismondo, arrived in Naples for the proxy marriage on 16 May 1473. In this chapter I will use a collection of diplomatic documents in the Estense archive in Modena to follow the progress of the marriage negotiations in Naples, from the arrival of Facino in August 1472 with a mandate from Ercole to arrange a marriage with Eleonora, until the moment when Sigismondo d’Este slipped his brother’s ring onto the bride’s finger. Among these documents are Facino’s reports of his tortuous dealings with Ferrante’s team of negotiators and the acrimonious letters in which Diomede Carafa, acting on Ferrante’s behalf, demanded certain minimum standards for Eleonora’s household in Ferrara. It is an added bonus that these letters, together with a small collection of what may only loosely be referred to as love letters from Ercole to his bride, give occasional glimpses of Eleonora as a real person, by no means a 1 A marriage per verba de presenti implied that the couple were actually man and wife from that time on.

  • The Body Politic Metaphor in Communal and Post-Communal Italy – Some Remarks on the Case of Lombardy
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by AIR Universita degli studi di Milano The Body Politic Metaphor in Communal and Post-Communal Italy – Some Remarks on the Case of Lombardy Andrea Gamberini University of Milan [email protected] Abstract This paper uses the body politic metaphor to explore the dialectic of power between different political players in communal and post-communal Lombardy. On the one hand, notions of corporeal links, drawing upon an ancient and venerable tradition, were key strands of public debate on state formation in the Late Middle Ages. On the other hand, there were distinctively communal and post- communal discourses based upon the body politic metaphor. My purpose is to investigate all of these aspects through analysis of the so-called “pragmatic writings” (such as letters, decrees, notarial deeds), sources usually overlooked by historians of political thought. As is shown in this paper, the novelty of this approach makes it possible to appreciate corporeal metaphors as performative tools and instruments of political action. Keywords City communes – Lombardy – Duchy of Milan – Body politic – political discourse 1. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to trace a brief history of the use of corporeal metaphors in political discourse in the Po Valley (i.e., Lombardy) in the communal and post-communal ages. As will be shown, there are many sources in political literature that establish an analogy between the political body and the human body. This is not particularly surprising; medieval Europe inherited corporeal metaphors from diverse cultural traditions, ranging from the theological tradition (think of the famous image of the body and limbs handed down from the first of Paul’s Letters to the Corinthians 1 – “But now are they many members, but yet one body”; 12:20) to the classical tradition (going from Plato and Aristotle to Livy).1 These terminological genealogies have been extensively investigated by historians of political thought.

  • Benedetto Reguardati of Nursia (1398-1469)
    BENEDETTO REGUARDATI OF NURSIA (1398-1469) by JULIANA HILL COTTON BENEDETrO REGUARDATI was a physician and a diplomat.' His medical skill, shared by his younger son, Dionisio, was an inherited calling, for he came from the stock of the Norcini, medicine men, renowned throughout the ages for traditional skill in magic and healing. In his own lifetime Reguardati is said to have 'greatly increased the glory of his family' acquired in the past by his ancestors in the city of Nursia' (ac domus sue splendorem quem in Nurisina civitate vetustis temporibus comparatum a suis maioribus, ipse plurimum auxit, Cicco Simonetta, 1 September 1464). He himself bore the proud name ofhis more famous compaesano, St. Benedict ofNursia (480-543), whose mother had been Abbondanza Reguardati. Reguardati's diplomatic career deserves consideration in any detailed study of Renaissance diplomacy, a neglected field to which the late Garrett Mattingly has drawn attention. To the Reguardati family this also was a traditional vocation. Benedetto's brother, Marino, his son Carlo, both lawyers, became Roman Senators. Carlo served the court of Milan at Urbino (M.A.P. IX, 276, 14 March 1462)2 and at Pesaro. He was at Florence when Benedetto died there in 1469. Another diplomat, Giovanni Reguardati, described by Professor Babinger as 'Venetian' ambassador to Ladislaus, King of Hungary in 1444,3 was probably a kinsman, one of the many Norcini in the pay of Venice. Francesco Filelfo (1398-1481) in a letter to Niccolo Ceba, dated 26 February 1450, recalls that Benedetto Reguardati

  • Artisti Civatesi Alla Corte Visconteo Sforzesca E L’Abate Commendatario Card
    Artisti civatesi alla corte visconteo sforzesca e l’abate commendatario Card. Ascanio Sforza Visconti Relazione di Carlo Castagna Tre sono gli elementi chiave che ritengo indispensabili per capire la realtà del monastero civatese negli anni del passaggio dal ‘400 al ‘500, gli anni gli anni in cui Leonardo fu presente sul territorio lariano: a) La testimonianza documentata dello stretto rapporto avuto dal monastero di San Pietro e Calocero sin dalle origini col potere politico-religioso; b) La testimonianza della presenza degli artisti civatesi alla corte visconteo-sforzesca; c) La contemporanea presenza a Civate della importante figura del Card. Ascanio Maria Sforza Visconti, figlio di Francesco Sforza e fratello dei due duchi, Giangaleazzo Maria Sforza Visconti e Ludovico detto il Moro, come primo abate commendatario ufficiale del monastero. 1. Il rapporto politico-religioso in sintesi: La rifondazione benedettina del monastero regale di san Pietro al Monte, avvenuta a metà del IX secolo, con la costruzione a valle del monastero di San Calocero fu personalmente voluta dal terzo imperatore, Lotario, e affidata al magister Hildemarus ed all’abate Leodegarius. Forti furono da allora per secoli i legami con i monasteri affratellati della Reichenau, attraverso la fratenitatis Sancti Galli, Augensis et Fabariensis. Già nell’880, tuttavia, il monastero milanese di Sant’Ambrogio, il vescovo della città e la nobiltà milanese contestarono la legittimazione dei possessi della Reichenau, attraverso San Pietro al Monte, nella corte di Limonta, evento che si ripeté con l’abate Andrea nel 1018. Nel 1162, Federico di Svevia, detto il Barbarossa, riconfermò con un Diploma imperiale i possessi, i privilegi e l’indipendenza del monastero civatese (quod est nostrum) dal potere locale; indipendenza mantenuta integra sino alla sua sconfitta a Legnano nel 1176.
