Item 10G.Pdf T Date: November 2, 2016 To: Mayor and City Council CC: Brian Snyder From: Randy RandaiiL;~-' Subject: Prado Follow-up Materials At the request of the Finance Committee, attached you will find the following additional information relating to the Prado Exhibit and the proposed involvement of the City through TOURISM Santa Fe. 1. Information relating to the roles of the participating organizations. 2. Timeline 3. The proposed event budget. 4. Proposed exhibit layout in Cathedral Park. The Finance Committee also requested written documentation from Mr. Jim Long as to the commitment for the additional funding requirement shown in the budget. Mr. Long is out of the country and I am not able to make the request at this time. I have discussed this with the City Attorney and she feels confident that with a PSA outlining the City's involvement and financial responsibility along with a requirement that City funding through TOURISM Santa Fe only be made after other funding has been obtained for the exhibit will sufficiently protect the City for any obligation beyond what is currently envisioned. The PSA will bind Mr. Long to the commitment to raise the required funds and the City will not have any direct agreement for services with the museum. The PSA will also stipulate that the event is free to the public. The final request from the Finance Committee was for information on the fund balance that may be used for the $75,000 which will be provided by Adam Johnson. 1 RANDALL, RANDY From: David Setford <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2016 7:00AM To: David Setford Subject: Meeting of Prado Exhibition/Summer of Internationa Meeting of Prado Exhibition/Summer ofInternational art Steering Group September 14th, 2.30 pm, at Santa Fe Tourism Present: Jim Long, Randy Randall, Chris O'DonnelL David Setford (1) Roles. Further to the document previously circulated by David Setford it was agreed that: * Chris O'Donnell would be responsible for all aspects of preparation, transport, installation and design of the exterior exhibit (design in consultation with all parties including City/Railyards) * Fiscal agent. If possible SCAS would be fiscal agent for grants, if not Jim Long's Cultural Foundation * Ads, placement ofPR, website, etc, would be the responsibility of Cynthia Delgado and John Feins (Santa Fe Tourism). Randy would ask John Feins to secure domain name pradosantafe.com. * David Setford would coordinate all efforts including ancillary "partners", materials to Cynthia Delgado/John Feins, liaison with New Mexican regarding insert,opening celebrations, etc * Jim Long would take charge of all fundraising * Randy Randall and where appropriate David Setford would liaise locally with City and Railyards (2) Ancillary Programs. David Setford described positive reaction from local institutions (Opera, O'KM, Museum of Fine Arts, SCAS, Botanical Garden, Folk Art Museum, etc) regarding taking part in a wider program which would be publicised along with the Prado and which would create even greater draw to the City of Santa Fe. TITLE: Summer of International Art featuring Prado Museum in Santa Fe. David was contacting all institutions for written details of programs and photographs. (3) Budget (see attached). Changes were made to the preliminary budget submitted by David Setford to reflect greater income and greater expenditure in particular on Advertizing & PR (4) Jim Long reported a meeting with Albert Gallegos (Honorary Consul of Spain in Santa Fe) and Fred Mondragon (Honorary Consul of Spain in Albuquerque) who had committed to helping to involved American and International corporations as partners and funders. Fred would approach the legislature, while Albert would approach Ambassadors. (5) Site visits. The Group adjourned to the Railyards and met with representatives who gave a tour of the areas where the Prado installation could be placed. While two small areas North of the station were deemed unacceptable, the larger areas either side ofthe tracks and roughly opposite REI, Verizon, Violet Crown, were seen as most appropriate. The group then merged to Cathedral Park. The group felt that this Park was a beautiful and appropriate setting though the plaza and the Railyards were perhaps more lively. One suggestion was that the exhibition could start in the plaza (May - early July); move to the Cathedral Park for two months; and then finish up in the Railyards for September/October. 1 2 Chris felt that impact would be lost having the Prado exhibit in three separate location at different times. He suggested as an alternative having it placed for the entire run of May - November in Cathedral Park. The group decided this was worth investigation. David Setford would engage a photographer to make a study of Cathedral Park to send to the Prado. The meeting ended at 4.30 pm. Sent from my iPad 2 3 International Art Summer in Santa Fe, 2017 (As of 8/15/16. Not for publication at this time. Awaiting further replies and participants} FEATURING: The Prado Museum in Santa Fe.

FLAMENCO-from Spain to New Mexico is the most comprehensive exhibition to celebrate and study this living tradition as an art form.

It was natural to assume that Bosch, like so many other Netherlandish painters, had designed tapestries. When in 190o3 the Conde V. de Valencia de Don Juan published, in good reproductions, the magnificent collection of tapestries belonging to the Spanish Crown,2 it became obvious that the tapestries connected with Bosch, although still dating from the sixteenth century, must have been woven a considerable time after the death of the artist (Pls.

  • Danaëandvenus and Adonis
    AiA Art News-service Danaë and Venus and Adonis Danaë, Titian, 1551-1553. Oil on canvas, 192.5 cm x 114.6 cm. The Wellington Collection, Apsley House Venus and Adonis, Titian, 1554. Oil on canvas, 186 cm x 207 cm. Madrid, Museo Nacional del Prado The first "Poesie" presented to Prince Philip were Danaë(1553) and Venus and Adonis (1554), versions of other previous works, but endowed with all the prestige of the commissioning party. In turn, these works became models for numerous replicas. Danaë depicts the moment in which Jupiter possesses the princess in the form of golden rain. Titian painted his first Danaë in Rome in 1544-45 for Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, in reference to the Cardinal's love affair with a courtesan. This Danaë was the model for the version created for Philip II, in which Cupid was replaced by an old nursemaid, whose inclusion enriched the painting by creating a series of sophisticated counterpoints: youth versus old age; beauty versus loyalty; a nude figure versus a dressed figure. Philip II received this work in 1553 and it was kept in the Spanish Royal Collection, first at the Alcázar and, subsequently, at the Buen Retiro Palace, until Ferdinand VII presented the work to the Duke of Wellington following the Peninsula War. Its original size was similar to that ofVenus and Adonis, but at the end of the 18th century, the upper third of the painting was removed for reasons of preservation. Historical descriptions and a Flemish copy reveal that the upper section included Jupiter's face and an eagle with bolts of lightning, both attributes of this particular god.

  • Titian, the Rape of Europa, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston
    Titian, The Rape of Europa, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston Titian, Danaë, Wellington Collection, Apsley House, London The National Gallery’s much anticipated exhibition Titian – Love, Desire, Death opened on Monday, 16 March and I was lucky enough to see it the following day. It closed on the Wednesday of that week, together with the Gallery’s permanent collection, due to the Coronavirus crisis. A remarkable display, the most ravishing small-scale exhibition I have ever seen, the official closing date is 15 June, so if the Gallery reopens before then, please try to see it. The exhibition is due to continue at three of the other four art galleries whose generous loans have made this ground breaking art historical event possible: Edinburgh’s Scottish National Gallery, 11 July – 27 September; Madrid’s Prado Mueum, 20 October – 10 January; and Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, 11 February – 9 May next year. So, should we not be able to feast our eyes on these spectacular works in London, we must hope for the opportunity elsewhere. The catalogue for the London, Edinburgh and Boston versions of the exhibition, also titled Titian – Love, Desire, Death is, given the closure of normal booksellers, widely available via Amazon or similar web suppliers: the ISBN number is 978 1 8570 9655 2 and costs £25. The Prado will publish a separate catalogue. As you may know, we have a Study Day in connection with the exhibition scheduled for 13 May and we very much hope that this may still be possible? Meanwhile, by way of anticipation I have written this short review of the exhibition, which I hope you will find of interest? 2 Titian, Venus and Adonis, Prado Museum, Madrid The exhibition represents a series of amazing ‘firsts’.

It was regarded as both necessary training for warfare and an important court ritual. As a result, Spanish royal hunting portraits comprise a distinct geme ofportraiture, one with its own set ofconventions and iconography that encode monarchic power. This thesis investigates the evolution ofSpanish royal hunting portraits from the reign ofPhilip IV (r. 1621-1665) to that ofCharles IV (r. 1789-1808). It focuses in particular on works by Diego Velazquez (1599-1660) and Francisco Goya (1746-1828). v CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Olivia Nicole

  • "Roman Charity" Oil on Canvas: 12 ¼ X 16 Inches / 31.3 X 40.8 Cm
    BARTOLOME ESTEBAN MURILLO (1617 Seville 1682) "Roman Charity" Oil on canvas: 12 ¼ x 16 inches / 31.3 x 40.8 cm This oil sketch for Murillo’s Caritas Romana, and a related drawing in the Boymans-van Beuningen Museum, are all that remain of a once-famous composition whose picaresque history ended with its destruction by fire at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts in 1845. A rare classical subject in Murillo’s oeuvre, the theme of Roman Charity is based on the text of Valerius Masimus (Factorum et Dictorum, Book IV, V, 4) which describes how the Roman matron Pero saved the life of her dying father, Cimon, who had been condemned to death by starvation, by giving suckle from her breast. The theme, which was a common subject among the northern followers of Caravaggio, is usually interpreted as an allegory of filial love, but it has been noted that Caravaggio himself included it in his masterpiece The Seven Acts of Mercy (Capodimonte, Naples) as a reference to the charitable act of “feeding the hungry.” It is generally agreed that Murillo based his composition on several engravings after Rubens’s Caritas Romana in the Hermitage, but Enriqueta Harris, while acknowledging this, has astutely observed the differences between the compositions by Rubens and Murillo, and between Murillo’s own preparatory drawing and the finished painting. In the drawing, the matron touches her breast with her right hand, while in the oil sketch and the finished painting she extends her drapery with her right hand, partially covering the nakedness of her father.

  • THE EARLY COMMERCIAL and CRITICAL FORTUNES of NEAPOLITAN BAROQUE STILL-LIFE PAINTING Christopher R
    129 ‘MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN NATURE ITSELF’: THE EARLY COMMERCIAL AND CRITICAL FORTUNES OF NEAPOLITAN BAROQUE STILL-LIFE PAINTING Christopher R. Marshall Abstract This article considers the early reception of Neapolitan baroque still-life painting by seventeenth- and early eighteenth- century viewers. Although originating as a relatively cheap and critically under-valued picture type, Neapolitan still life nonetheless came to enjoy widespread popularity in baroque Naples. An analysis of primary and early secondary sources (ranging from payment documents, to art inventories, to early writings on art) reveals a surprisingly high value attached to Neapolitan still life from a relatively early date. This contrasts markedly with the situation in Rome where the local specialists were significantly under-priced relative to their Neapolitan counterparts. Neapolitan still life was highly valued in both a critical as well as an economic sense. Early writing on Neapolitan still life is also remarkably free of the commonplace deprecation of still-life imagery in relation to the supposedly more exalted category of history painting that is found so commonly expressed in other European art-theoretical writings. The positive Neapolitan attitude culminates in Bernardo de’ Dominici’s Vite de’ pittori napoletani (1742–45). While the early Roman biographers tended to downplay the achievements of the Roman still-life specialists or else ignore them altogether, de’ Dominici set the seal on the Neapolitan predilection for still life by writing the first systematic account of a regional school of Italian still-life painting. Keywords: Naples, baroque art, still-life painting, art-market studies, Luca Forte, Giacomo Recco, Giuseppe Recco Full text: http://openartsjournal.org/issue-6/article-7 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5456/issn.2050-3679/2018w07 Biographical note Christopher R.
