Since the former edition of this work was pub- lished, the able Translator has paid the debt of nature.* Mr. Rigaud being himself a painter, and highly appreciating the merits of Leonardo da Vinci, felt that he should derive pleasure from exhibiting his well-known Treatise on Painting to the Brit- ish public with superior advantage. He, there- fore, not only gave a new translation, but formed a better arrangement of the materials. The merits of Mr. Rigaud' s Translation ha^nng been duly ap- preciated by the public, and the work having been long out of print, another edition, in a neater and more condensed form, is now produced, which, the Publishers pi'esume, may prove a desirable acquisition to students and amateurs. The principal novelty, however, of this edition is the new Life of the Author, by the late J. W. Bro"v\m, Esq., which was first published, in a se- parate volume, in 1828. A long residence in Italy, an intimate acquaintance with its language * See a memoir of Mr. Rigaud, p. c. A 3 VI PREFACE. and literature, together with a constant oppor- tunity of studying the most finished specimens of Art, induced that gentleman to undertake the hiography of Leonardo da Vinci, who so largely contributed to form a new sera in the His tory of the Fine Arts. This distinguished Italian i s not so well known in England as he deserves. Among the various l)iographical sketches of this celebrated character, that written by Giorgio Va- sari is perhaps the most authentic, as he had the advantage of contemporaneous information. But this also is rather an account of his works than of himself, containing little more than what is gene- rally known, and forming only one article in Va- sari's Lives of celebrated Painters. To most of the editions which have been pub- lished of Da Vinci's writings a short biographical notice is prefixed, but they are chiefly copied ver- batim from Vasari. The Signor Carlo Ammoretti, hbrarian of the Ambrosian Library at Milan, has prefixed the best and most ample account of Leonardo da Vinci to the edition of his "Trattato della Pittura," pub- lished at Milan in 1 804 ; which he has entitled " Memorie storiche su la Vita, gli Studj, e le Opere di Leonardo da Vinci." In addition to many sources of information, Mr. Brown had the privilege of constant admittance not only to the private library of his Imperial and PREFACE. VU Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Tuscany, but also to his most rare and valuable collection of Manuscripts in the Palazzo Pitti, where he was permitted to copy from the original documents and correspondence whatever he conceived useful to his subject. In selecting from the mass of documents rela- tive to the subject of the present work, Mr. Brown rejected whatever appeared unsupported by sufficient proof ; and he has given such historical anecdotes of that period as were necessary to the subject, from their having materially influenced the private fortunes of Da Vinci. Sept. 5, 1835. PREFACE Mr. RIGAUD'S TRANSLATION. The excellence of the following Treatise is so well known to all in any tolerable degree conversant with the Art of Painting, that it would be almost superfluous to say any thing respecting it, were it not that it here appears under the form of a new translation, of which some account may be ex- pected. Of the original Work, which is in reality a selec- tion from the voluminous manuscript collections of the Author, both in folio and in quarto, of all such passages as related to Painting, no edition appeared in print till 1651, though its Author died so long before as the year 1519; and it is owing to the circumstance of a manuscript copy of these extracts in the original Italian, having fallen into the hands of Raphael du Fresne, that in the former of these years it was published at Paris in a thin folio volume in that language, accompanied with a set of cuts from the drawings of Nicole ^ TRANSLATOR S PREFACE. IX Poussin and Albert! ; the former having designed the human figures, the latter the geometrical and other representations. This precaution was pro- bably necessary, the sketches in the Author's own collections being so very slight as not to be fit for publication without further assistance. Poussin's drawings were mere outlines, and the shadows and back-grounds behind the figures were added by Errard, after the drawings had been made, and, as Poussin himself says, without his knowledge. In the same year, and size, and printed at the same place, a translation of the original work into French was given to the world by Monsieur de Chambray (well known, under his family name of Freart, as the author of an excellent Parallel of ancient and modern Architecture, in French, which Mr. EveljTi translated into English). Tlie style of this translation by Mons. de Chambray, being thought, some years after, too antiquated, some one was employed to rcAise and modernise it ; and in 17H> a new edition of it, thus polished, came out, of which it may be truly said, as is in general the case on such occasions, that whatever the sup- posed advantage obtained in purity and refine- ment of language might be, it was more than counterbalanced by the want of the more valuable qualities of accuracy, and fidelity to the original, from which, by these variations, it became further removed. X TRANSLATOR S PREFACE. The first translation of this Treatise into English, appeared in the year 1721. It does not declare by whom it was made ; but though it professes to have been done from the original Italian, it is evident, upon a comparison, that more use was made of the revised edition of the French transla- tion. Indifferent, however, as it is, it had become so scarce, and had risen to a price so extravagant, that, to supply the demand, it was found neces- sary^, in the year 17^6? to reprint it as it stood, with all its errors on its head, no opportunity then offering of procuring a fresh translation. This last impression, however, being also dis- posed of, and a new one again called for, the present Translator was induced to step forward, and undertake the ofiice of fresh translating it, on finding, by comparing the former versions both in French and English with the original, many pas- sages which he thought might at once be more concisely and more faithfully rendered. His ob- ject, therefore, has been to attain these ends, and as rules and precepts like the present allow but little room for the decorations of style, he has been more solicitous for fidelity, perspicuity, and precision, than for smooth sentences, and well- turned periods. Nor was this the only advantage which it was found the present opportunity would afford ; for the original work consisting in fact of a number TRANSLATOR S PREPACK. XI of entries made at different times, without any regard to their subjects, or attention to method, might rather in that state be considered as a chaos of intelligence, than a well-digested treatise. It has now, therefore, for the iirst time, been at- tempted to place each chapter under the proper head or branch of the art to which it belongs and by so doing, to bring together those which (though related and nearly connected in substance) stood, according to the original arrangement, at such a distance from each other as to make it troublesome to find them even by the assistance of an index ; and difficult, when found, to com- pare them together.

  • Teachers' Notes the GEORGIANS
    Teachers’ Notes THE GEORGIANS (Rooms 9 – 14) Portraits as Historical Evidence These guided discussion notes reflect the way in which the National Portrait Gallery Learning Department works when using portraits as historical sources, with pupils of all ages. As far as possible, pupils are encouraged through questioning to observe in detail and to form their own hypotheses; a small amount of information is fed into the discussion at appropriate points to deepen their observations. These notes therefore consist of a series of questions, with suggested answers; where there is information to add this is shown in a box. The questions, perhaps slightly rephrased, would be suitable for pupils at both primary and secondary level; what will differ is the sophistication of the answers. The information will need rephrasing for younger pupils and it may be necessary to probe by adding extra questions to get the full interpretation of the picture. Please note we cannot guarantee that all of the portraits in these notes will be on display at the time of your visit. Please see www.npg.org.uk/learning/digital for these and other online resources. Other guided discussions in this series of online Teachers’ Notes include: Tudors Stuarts Regency Victorians Twentieth Century and Contemporary These guided discussions can be used either when visiting the Gallery on a self-directed visit or in the classroom using images from the Gallery’s website, www.npg.org.uk/collections.

SALA WEIL WEISS Promossa e prodotta dal Comune di Milano - Cultura, Castello Sforzesco e Palazzo Reale, inaugura il 15 maggio al Castello Sforzesco la mostra Bramantino a Milano , curata da Giovanni Agosti, Jacopo Stoppa e Marco Tanzi, in programma fino al 25 settembre 2012, con ingresso gratuito. L’esposizione si articola nelle due grandi Sale del Castello Sforzesco che ospitano già importanti lavori dell’artista: la Sala del Tesoro dove domina l’ Argo , il grande affresco realizzato intorno al 1490 e destinato a vegliare sul tesoro sforzesco, e la soprastante Sala della Balla, che accoglie i dodici arazzi della collezione Trivulzio, acquisiti dal Comune nel 1935. “Con la mostra sul Bramantino il Comune di Milano realizza, con assoluta autonomia di mezzi e di gestione – non accadeva da 20 anni – una mostra che valorizza lo straordinario patrimonio milanese di opere lasciateci da un autore su cui si sta concentrando l’attenzione della storiografia critica internazionale. Con il Bramantino al Castello Sforzesco – ha detto l’asses - sore alla Cultura Stefano Boeri – inauguriamo un nuovo corso della stagione espositiva milanese. Una mostra di grande qua - lità che si offre gratuitamente al pubblico per condividere con la città lo spirito di una nuova idea di cultura ”. Bergamasco, documentato dal 1480 e morto nel 1530, Bartolomeo Suardi, detto il Bramantino, deve il suo peculiare soprannome al rapporto con il marchigiano Bramante, pittore e architetto alla corte di Ludovico il Moro.

  • Meet the Masters February Program Grade 3 How Artists Portray Women
    Meet the Masters February Program Grade 3 How Artists Portray Women Mary Cassatt "The Child's Bath" Leonardo Da Vinci "Ginevra De' Bend" About the Artist: (See the following pages.) About the Artwork: "The Child's Bath" by Mary Cassatt was painted in 1893. This is one of Cassatt's most famous works, it is typical of her art due to it's emphasis on the figure and the common theme of woman and child. This was painted over one hundred years ago, when homes did not have running water and separate rooms for bathing. Unlike Renaissance painters who tried to create an illusion of reality and depth by using scientific perspective, Cassatt's composition tilt's toward us as if we were looking down from above. Our attention is drawn to the tenderness displayed between the woman and her child. The stripes of the woman's dress and the diamond patterns in the carpet provide an almost flat background on which the figures appear to be three dimensional. Both figures are totally absorbed in the bathing ritual. "Ginevra De' Benci" by Leonardo Da Vinci was painted around 1474. During the time of Leonardo it was customary for young women to have their portraits painted just before their weddings. This was probably Ginevra's wedding portrait as she was married in 1474 at the age of seventeen. In this portrait of Ginevra De' Benci the light floods her face and hair to reveal a glowing the tiny curls of her hair and the rounded shape of her face. The soft fabric of her clothing can be seen in the lower part of the painting.

  • Mona Lisa: a Comparative Evaluation of the Different Versions S
    ONA LISA: A COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF THE MDIFFERENT VERSIONS AND THEIR COPIES Salvatore Lorusso* Dipartimento di Beni Culturali Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna, Ravenna, Italy Andrea Natali Dipartimento di Beni Culturali Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna, Ravenna, Italy Keywords: “Mona Lisa”, versions, copies 1. Introduction In a previous study [1], which included stylistic and diagnostic analyses, it was found that the oil painting on canvas “Mona Lisa with columns”, part of a private collection in a museum in St. Petersburg (Figure 1), is a copy of the “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo (Figure 2) dating to a period between 1590 and 1660. Noteworthy features include the good quality, readability and expressiveness emanating from the work, which presum- ably is of Nordic influence, specifically German-Flemish. Figure 1.

The Louvre “Mona Lisa” More specifically, given the importance of the subject, which includes Leonardo’s well-known masterpiece, the conclusion that was reached in defining the above paint- ing a copy of the original, involved examining, from a methodological point of view, investigations carried out in 2004 on the Louvre “Mona Lisa” by the “Center for Re- search and Restoration of the Museums of France”, and published in “Au coeur de La Joconde – Léonard de Vinci Décodé”. This sequence of investigations – which were certainly not aimed at authentication – were examined together with those of the Na- tional Gallery in London, thus enabling comparisons to be made with other works by Leonardo [2-3].

  • The Use of Scordatura in Heinrich Biber's Harmonia Artificioso-Ariosa
    RICE UNIVERSITY TUE USE OF SCORDATURA IN HEINRICH BIBER'S HARMONIA ARTIFICIOSO-ARIOSA by MARGARET KEHL MITCHELL A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF MUSIC APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE aÆMl Dr. Anne Schnoebelen, Professor of Music Chairman C<c g>'A. Dr. Paul Cooper, Professor of- Music and Composer in Ldence Professor of Music ABSTRACT The Use of Scordatura in Heinrich Biber*s Harmonia Artificioso-Ariosa by Margaret Kehl Mitchell Violin scordatura, the alteration of the normal g-d'-a'-e" tuning of the instrument, originated from the spirit of musical experimentation in the early seventeenth century. Closely tied to the construction and fittings of the baroque violin, scordatura was used to expand the technical and coloristlc resources of the instrument. Each country used scordatura within its own musical style. Al¬ though scordatura was relatively unappreciated in seventeenth-century Italy, the technique was occasionally used to aid chordal playing. Germany and Austria exploited the technical and coloristlc benefits of scordatura to produce chords, Imitative passages, and special effects. England used scordatura primarily to alter the tone color of the violin, while the technique does not appear to have been used in seventeenth- century France. Scordatura was used for possibly the most effective results in the works of Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber (1644-1704), a virtuoso violin¬ ist and composer. Scordatura appears in three of Biber*s works—the "Mystery Sonatas", Sonatae violino solo, and Harmonia Artificioso- Ariosa—although the technique was used for fundamentally different reasons in each set. In the "Mystery Sonatas", scordatura was used to produce various tone colors and to facilitate certain technical feats.
