In the present, the version of the extension of the blessing is respected, understood with the right hand of the Son, coinciding with the dextera Dei more generally, which here moves three fingers as a tribute to the Trinity. The debt towards Byzantine art, the first elaborator of gestures of assent, is here overcome and replaced, figuratively, with the western adlocutio, with which the Roman commanders called the troops. The Christian resemantization is evident: the divine now recalls the faithful / Saint John, promising him Salvation. The typically seventeenth-century emotional charge is poured out in the present also through the extraordinary plasticism that chiaroscuro the portraits. A sculptural colorism slides along garments and silhouettes, solidifying the pictorial material with turgid realism. The heartfelt interest in the three-dimensional investigation and in the luminous mirrors that reflect the couple of the Virgin with the Son, himself a source of light, with a candid pallor, denounce the artist's belonging to the Emilian school. For compositional and formal evidence it is possible to place the author in that particular workshop that arose from the influence of Lorenzo Sabatini (Bologna, 1530-Rome, 1576), where typically central Italian stylistic features were adopted by virtue of the artist's stay in the cities of Rome and Florence. The main influence, however, derives from the suggestions of Guido Reni (1575-1642), essential in the Emilian territory, here reworked through a more lyrical and direct definition of the physiognomies. In the concretely material modeling, contaminations deriving from the legacy of the Genoese Bernardo Strozzi and the Modenese Bartolomeo Schedoni (1578-1615) are recognizable. It is appropriate to 1 / 3 anticSwiss 28/09/2021 20:23:47 http://www.anticswiss.com compare the present with paintings of a similar subject made by Giovanni Andrea Sirani (1610-1670) as well as Domenico Maria Canuti (1625-1684), closer to it in terms of dating. Sirani's artistic parable started through an internship with Giacomo Cavedone to finally reach a heartfelt apprenticeship with Guido Reni, of whom the artist was a favorite disciple. Canutì instead signed a canvas in which the same figurative innovation occurs, especially in the hands of the Virgin and in the setting of the group; A pupil of Ludovico Carracci, Canuti also participated, like the present, in the polyformed Emilian Baroque artistic culture. https://www.anticswiss.com/en/fine-art-antiques/madonna-with-child-and-san-giovannino-17th-century-24436 2 / 3 anticSwiss 28/09/2021 20:23:47 http://www.anticswiss.com Gallery 3 / 3 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

Studienkurs Hertziana (Rom, 17-27 Sep 06) Veronika Birbaumer Studienkurs der Bibliotheca Hertziana, Max-Planck-Institut für Kunstgeschichte „Vom Manierismus über die Reform zur virtuosen Quadratura. Malerei in Bologna von der Mitte des 16. bis zum Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts“ vom 17. September bis 27. September 2006 Die Bibliotheca Hertziana (Max-Planck-Institut für Kunstgeschichte) in Rom veranstaltet in der Zeit vom 17. September (Anreisetag in Bologna) bis zum 27. September (Abreisetag aus Rom) einen Studienkurs für deutschsprachige Doktoranden und jüngere promovierte Kunsthistoriker mit dem Thema „Vom Manierismus über die Reform zur virtuosen Quadratura. Malerei in Bologna von der Mitte des 16. bis zum Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts“ unter der wissenschaftlichen Leitung von Prof. Dr. Sybille Ebert-Schifferer. Von der Eroberung durch Julius II. 1512 bis zur Französischen Revolution war Bologna, Sitz der ältesten Universität der Welt, die zweitwichtigste Stadt des Kirchenstaates, intellektuelles Zentrum und reiche Handelsstadt zugleich. In der Renaissance erlebte die Malerei eine vorrangig durch ferraresische Künstler geprägte erste Blüte, bis mit dem Eintreffen der von Elena Duglioli bestellten „Hl. Cäcilie“ Raffaels, wahrscheinlich im Jahr 1515, schlagartig die Moderne eintraf und fortan ein enger Austausch mit Rom begann. Das Wirken des Raffael-Schülers Pellegrino Tibaldi und des Niccolò dell’Abate führte zur Ausprägung eines Bologneser Manierismus, der sich vor allem in profanen Palastdekorationen niederschlug und wichtige Grundlagen für die illusionistischen Architekturen der Quadraturamalerei des 17. Jahrhunderts respektive für die Landschaftsauffassung der Carracci in der Stadt legte. Als letzter Tagungsort des Konzils von Trient und Wirkstätte des Kardinals Gabriele Paleotti, der ab 1566 Bischof von Bologna war, wurde die Stadt zu einem Zentrum tridentinischer Reformversuche, die sich auch in der nachfolgenden Künstlergeneration in Form verschiedener experimenteller Neuansätze äußerten.

The Parting of Rinaldo and Armida Pen and Brown Ink and Brown Wash, Over an Underdrawing in Red Chalk
Domenico Maria Canuti (Bologna 1620 - Bologna 1683) The Parting of Rinaldo and Armida Pen and brown ink and brown wash, over an underdrawing in red chalk. Inscribed canuti f.18 on the verso, backed. 189 x 258 mm. (7 1/2 x 10 1/8 in.) Canuti was known for his inventive compositions, and produced a number of drawings on literary or mythological themes, most of which do not seem to have been intended as studies for paintings and may have been produced as finished works of art for sale to collectors. The present sheet is one of several drawings by Canuti depicting scenes from the story of Rinaldo and Armida, taken from Torquato Tasso’s epic poem Gerusalemme Liberata. These include another drawing of The Parting of Rinaldo and Armida, different in composition but very similar in style and technique to the present sheet, in the Louvre, as well as a drawing in the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin and two drawings in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. Other stylistically comparable drawings by Canuti include another study of a subject from Tasso (possibly The Condemnation of Sophronia), and a Battle Scene, both in the Louvre, a group of five drawings of scenes from the life of Saint George in Stockholm and a drawing of The Sack of Troy in a private collection. Artist description: Domenico Maria Canuti trained with Guido Reni, Guercino and Giovanni Andrea Sirani in Bologna where, apart from two periods spent in Rome in the 1640’s and 1670’s and some time spent in Padua in the 1660’s, he worked for most of his career.

Co-chair: Anne D. Hedeman, Ph.D. Co-chair: Sally J. Cornelison, Ph.D. Douglas Dow, Ph.D. Philip Stinson, Ph.D. John Pultz, Ph.D. ____________________________ Heba Mostafa, Ph.D. Date Defended: 14 April 2017 ii The dissertation committee for Loren Whittaker certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: An American Jesuit Treasury of Religious Art: The Van Ackeren Collection in the Greenlease Gallery at Rockhurst University Co-Chair: Anne D. Hedeman, Ph.D. Co-Chair: Sally J. Cornelison, Ph.D. Date Approved: 14 April 2017 iii Abstract On 13 October 1967 Virginia P. and Robert C. Greenlease donated a walnut crucifix by French sculptor César Bagard to Rockhurst University’s Jesuit community in Kansas City, Missouri. This gift initiated a collaboration of thirty years between Mrs. Greenlease and Rockhurst’s president, Father Maurice E. Van Ackeren, S.J. Together they sought to enhance the university and its students’ spiritual and educational experience by making fine religious works of art accessible for viewing on campus. Virginia financed the purchases that Father Van Ackeren made, the sum of which came to be known as the Van Ackeren Collection of Religious Art. Throughout their endeavor, the two took advantage of the expertise of the curators of the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art in Kansas City, Missouri (now known as The Nelson- Atkins Museum of Art) and employed that institution as an intermediary station for evaluating works before they were purchased.

Giuseppe Maria Crespi (Bologna 1665 - Bologna 1747) Study of a Model Posed as a Seated Hercules Verso: Study of a Male Figure red chalk (recto); black chalk (verso) 29 x 35.3 cm (11⅜ x 13⅞ in) This solidly muscular study of a figure masquerading as Hercules inevitably owes much to the time that Giuseppe Maria Crespi spent at a life-drawing academy, as well as to the figure drawings of Michelangelo. The seated Hercules’ pose allows the artist to experiment with perspective, as the figure’s enormous hand shows. Jacob Bean has noted that Crespi’s drawings and paintings often have little in common: ‘it was only with brush in hand that he took those liberties that give his work its particular savour.’¹ This is in spite of the sometimes identical subject matter; Crespi did, for instance, fresco part of the Palazzo Pepoli in Bologna with The Triumph of Hercules. As a draughtsman, Crespi seems to have been a diligent professore del disegno working in an established Bolognese tradition. His Hercules Holding a Club (Recto); A Nude Tracing a Circle with a Compass (Verso) provides a useful comparison to the present work, especially the standing Hercules figure wielding a club. The style, both of this work, and of the present Study of a Male Nude Posed as Hercules, recalls the artistic style of one of Crespi’s tutors, Maria Canutti (1625-1684). The attribution to Giuseppe Maria Crespi was proposed by Donatella Biagi Maino, who has suggested that the present work must be a rare example of the artist’s early style.

La passione per l’arte e la ricerca, svolta tra importanti collezioni private e aste di tutto il mondo, ha reso possibile una mostra che conta ben trentatré autori e quarantatré opere che spaziano dal Trecento all’Ottocento: da qui il titolo scelto di “Itinerari d’arte”. Il consueto appuntamento autunnale, atteso da collezionisti e appassionati d’arte, si apre con un prezioso trittico del bolognese Simone dei Crocifissi e una Madonna dell’umiltà di Antonio Orsini, protagonista del tardogotico a Ferrara. Ben rappresentati sono il Cinquecento e il Seicento felsinei: quest’ultimo anche grazie alla presenza di due capiscuola come Guido Reni, di cui si espone un’intensa Lucrezia, e il Guercino, al quale spetta un toccante San Giuseppe col Bambino.

La Tentation Néoclassique: Les Plafonds Peints Romains De Panini À Mengs’, in Jean-Marc Olivesi (Ed.), ‘Les Cieux En Gloire’
The following is the original English text of: Marshall, David R., ‘La tentation néoclassique: les plafonds peints romains de Panini à Mengs’, in Jean-Marc Olivesi (ed.), ‘Les Cieux en Gloire’. Bozzetti et modelli pour les eglises et les palais de la Rome Baroque, Ajaccio, 2002, pp. 377-386. La tentation néoclassique: les plafonds peints romains de Panini à Mengs In 1711 Giovanni Paolo Panini arrived in Rome from Piacenza; fifty years later in 1761 Anton Raphael Mengs left Rome for Madrid. The former, better known as a painter of architectural capricci and vedute, was the heir to the Bolognese Baroque tradition of quadratura, or illusionistic architectural painting; the latter at the Galleria Albani rejected Baroque illusionism for the strict quadro riportato, or fictive framed easel painting, and so produced the first Neoclassical ceiling. Their paths seem hardly to have crossed, yet both worked for Cardinal Alessandro Albani, and both had to accommodate themselves to the mainstream of Roman ceiling painting, the illusionistic tradition stemming from Pietro da Cortona and reformulated in the last quarter of the seventeenth century in terms of an opposition between Carlo Maratta and G.B. Gaulli, Il Baciccio. Common to the masterpieces of these artists—the ceiling of the Salone of the Palazzo Altieri and the vault of the Gesù—is the ceiling cartouche, or rectangular field with semicircular ends, a framing motif that played so conspicuous a part in subsequent Roman ceilings that the history of the eighteenth-century Roman ceiling can be written in terms of the history of the relationship between the cartouche and the rest of the ceiling.
