  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)
    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.

BUCHANAN’S) No. 60, PALL-MALL. ADJOINING THE BRITISH GALLERY". % Admittance One Shilling.— Descriptive Catalogue Eighteen-pence, .In England, where there is no National Gallery for the reception of the chefs-d’oeuvre of the Great Mas¬ ters of the various schools, where the amateur or the student might at all times have an opportunity of improving his taste, or forming his. knowledge on works of art, every thing must naturally be considered as desirable, which can in any degree tend to afford facility for such study, or acquirements. The numerous applications which have been made to view the Collection of Pictures belonging to Prince •Lucien Buonaparte have induced those under whose direction it has been placed, to open the New Gallery, in Pall-Mall, to the Public, in the manner usually adopted in this country : they have also resolved to allow the Collection itself to he separated, and sold, in the same manner as the celebrated Collection of the Duke of Orleans; being convinced that Collectors will feel more satisfied in having an opportunity afforded them of gratifying their wishes individually, by a selection of such pictures as may suit the taste of each purchaser. 2 This Collection has been formed from many of the principal Cabinets on the Continent, during a period of the last fifteen years; and not only has the greatest attention been paid to a selection of agreeable subjects of the different masters, but also to the quality and state of preservation of the pictures themselves.

  • Body, Identity, and Narrative in Titian's Paintings

Winter iii Abstract: In the Renaissance, the bodies of individuals were understood as guides to their internal identities, which influenced the public understanding of the figure represented in art—be it in terms of politics, personal life, or legacy. The classicizing and religious paintings by Titian (c. 1488/90-1576) show the subject’s state of being, at a particular moment in a story, through the use of body language. The body is a vehicle for narrative that demonstrates the sitter’s identity, relating the intricacies of the body to both the mind and the story. By exploring the humanist combination of philosophical theories regarding the relationship between the soul and the body, it is clear that Titian used these concepts to elevate the human figures in his narrative paintings. Formal analysis and Renaissance artistic theories by Alberti and others suggest that Renaissance artists operated under the assumption that how their sitters appeared was tantamount to representing their identities. Current scholarship has not yet considered this particular relationship in Titian’s works.

  • The Leiden Collection Catalogue, 2Nd Ed
    Abraham Bloemaert (Gorinchem 1566 – 1651 Utrecht) How to cite Bakker, Piet. “Abraham Bloemaert” (2017). Revised by Piet Bakker (2019). In The Leiden Collection Catalogue, 2nd ed. Edited by Arthur K. Wheelock Jr. New York, 2017–20. https://theleidencollection.com/artists/abraham-bloemaert/ (archived June 2020). A PDF of every version of this biography is available in this Online Catalogue's Archive, and the Archive is managed by a permanent URL. New versions are added only when a substantive change to the narrative occurs. Abraham Bloemaert was born in Gorinchem on Christmas Eve, 1566. His parents were Cornelis Bloemaert (ca. 1540–93), a Catholic sculptor who had fled nearby Dordrecht, and Aeltgen Willems.[1] In 1567, the family moved to ’s-Hertogenbosch, where Cornelis worked on the restoration of the interior of the St. Janskerk, which had been badly damaged during the Iconoclastic Fury of 1566. Cornelis returned to Gorinchem around 1571, but not for long; in 1576, he was appointed city architect and engineer of Utrecht. Abraham’s mother had died some time earlier, and his father had taken a second wife, Marigen Goortsdr, innkeeper of het Schilt van Bourgongen. Bloemaert probably attended the Latin school in Utrecht. He received his initial art education from his father, drawing copies of the work of the Antwerp master Frans Floris (1519/20–70). According to Karel van Mander, who describes Bloemaert’s work at length in his Schilder-boek, his subsequent training was fairly erratic.[2] His first teacher was Gerrit Splinter, a “cladder,” or dauber, and a drunk. The young Bloemaert lasted barely two weeks with him.[3] His father then sent him to Joos de Beer (active 1575–91), a former pupil of Floris.

  • The Triumph of Flora
    Myths of Rome 01 repaged 23/9/04 1:53 PM Page 1 1 THE TRIUMPH OF FLORA 1.1 TIEPOLO IN CALIFORNIA Let’s begin in San Francisco, at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor in Lincoln Park. Through the great colonnaded court, past the Corinthian columns of the porch, we enter the gallery and go straight ahead to the huge Rodin group in the central apse that dominates the visitor’s view. Now look left. Along a sight line passing through two minor rooms, a patch of colour glows on the far wall. We walk through the Sichel Glass and the Louis Quinze furniture to investigate. The scene is some grand neo-classical park, where an avenue flanked at the Colour plate 1 entrance by heraldic sphinxes leads to a distant fountain. To the right is a marble balustrade adorned by three statues, conspicuous against the cypresses behind: a muscular young faun or satyr, carrying a lamb on his shoulder; a mature goddess with a heavy figure, who looks across at him; and an upright water-nymph in a belted tunic, carrying two urns from which no water flows. They form the static background to a riotous scene of flesh and drapery, colour and movement. Two Amorini wrestle with a dove in mid-air; four others, airborne at a lower level, are pulling a golden chariot or wheeled throne, decorated on the back with a grinning mask of Pan. On it sits a young woman wearing nothing but her sandals; she has flowers in her hair, and a ribboned garland of flowers across her thighs.

  • Bacchus and Ariadne by Titian
    PRIMARY TEACHERS’ NOTES PRIMARY TEACHERS’ NOTES BACCHUS AND ARIADNE TITIAN Open daily 10am – 6pm Charing Cross / Leicester Square Fridays until 9pm www.nationalgallery.org.uk 1 PRIMARY TEACHERS’ NOTES ‘BACCHUS AND ARIADNE’ BY TITIAN (born between 1480 and 1485; died 1576) The actual size of the picture is 172.2 x 188.3 cm. It was painted in oils on canvas in about 1521-3. These notes and a large print of Titian’s ‘Bacchus and Ariadne’ are for primary teachers attending the one-day course ‘In the Picture’ at the National Gallery in 2000/2001. Cross- curricular work produced in schools as a result of these courses will be shown in an exhibition called Take One Picture to be held at the National Gallery in 2002. The notes offer teachers basic information about the painting and the artist, as well as suggestions for classroom activities, and curriculum links. The Take One Picture project is generously supported by Mr and Mrs Christoph Henkel. Open daily 10am – 6pm Charing Cross / Leicester Square Fridays until 9pm www.nationalgallery.org.uk 2 PRIMARY TEACHERS’ NOTES Why was the painting made? ‘Bacchus and Ariadne’ was commissioned by Alfonso d’Este, Duke of Ferrara, as part of a decorative scheme for a small room, the Camerino d’Alabastro (alabaster chamber), in the ducal palace. Alfonso’s plan was for works by the best artists in Italy to hang together there, to recreate an ancient picture gallery, as described in a lateantique Greek text. Two of the commissioned artists, Raphael and Fra Bartolommeo, died before completing their works, and Titian ended up painting three pictures (the other two are in the Prado, in Madrid).

Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Hwang, Eunyoung, Reinterpreting Hieronymus Bosch's Table Top of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things through the Seven Day Prayers of the Devotio Moderna. Master of Arts (Art History), August 2000, 140 pp., 35 illustrations, references, 105 titles. This thesis examines Hieronymus Bosch's Table Top of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things. Instead of using an iconographical analysis, the thesis investigates the relationship between Bosch's art and the Devotio Moderna, which has been speculated by many Bosch scholars. For this reason, a close study was done to examine the Devotio Moderna and its influence on Bosch's painting. Particular interest is paid to the seven day prayers of the Devotio Moderna, the subjects depicted in Bosch's painting, how Bosch's painting blesses its viewer during the time of one's prayer, and how the use of gaze ties all of these ideas together.

Jewitt, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2014 Landscape painting assumed a new prominence in Venetian painting between the late fifteenth to early sixteenth century: this study aims to understand why and how this happened. It begins by redefining the conception of landscape in Renaissance Italy and then examines several ambitious easel paintings produced by major Venetian painters, beginning with Giovanni Bellini’s (c.1431- 36-1516) St. Francis in the Desert (c.1475), that give landscape a far more significant role than previously seen in comparable commissions by their peers, or even in their own work. After an introductory chapter reconsidering all previous hypotheses regarding Venetian painters’ reputations as accomplished landscape painters, it is divided into four chronologically arranged case study chapters.

The Feast of the Gods, 1529, oil on canvas Above: Map of 16th century Venice Left: Giovanni Bellini. Self-Portrait The High Renaissance in Venice coincided with the decline of the empire and the threat that the city would lose the independent status it had enjoyed for eight hundred years. Formidable foreign powers such as the French and Spanish kings, the pope, the Holy Roman emperor, and the rulers of Milan united against Venice and formed the League of Cambrai in 1509. They took most of the Venetian territory, including the important city of Verona, but not Venice itself. By 1529, peace was restored along with most of the territory, and Venice propagated the myth of its uniqueness in having survived so great a threat. In this illustration of a scene from Ovid’s, Fasti the gods, Jupiter, Neptune, and Apollo among them, revel in a wooded pastoral setting, eating and drinking, attended by nymphs and satyrs.
