    Perspective on Canaletto's Paintings of Piazza San Marco in Venice

    Art & Perception 8 (2020) 49–67 Perspective on Canaletto’s Paintings of Piazza San Marco in Venice Casper J. Erkelens Experimental Psychology, Helmholtz Institute, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands Received 21 June 2019; accepted 18 December 2019 Abstract Perspective plays an important role in the creation and appreciation of depth on paper and canvas. Paintings of extant scenes are interesting objects for studying perspective, because such paintings provide insight into how painters apply different aspects of perspective in creating highly admired paintings. In this regard the paintings of the Piazza San Marco in Venice by Canaletto in the eigh- teenth century are of particular interest because of the Piazza’s extraordinary geometry, and the fact that Canaletto produced a number of paintings from similar but not identical viewing positions throughout his career. Canaletto is generally regarded as a great master of linear perspective. Analysis of nine paintings shows that Canaletto almost perfectly constructed perspective lines and vanishing points in his paintings. Accurate reconstruction is virtually impossible from observation alone be- cause of the irregular quadrilateral shape of the Piazza. Use of constructive tools is discussed. The geometry of Piazza San Marco is misjudged in three paintings, questioning their authenticity. Sizes of buildings and human figures deviate from the rules of linear perspective in many of the analysed paintings. Shadows are stereotypical in all and even impossible in two of the analysed paintings. The precise perspective lines and vanishing points in combination with the variety of sizes for buildings and human figures may provide insight in the employed production method and the perceptual experi- ence of a given scene.

In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas.

TEST OF TIME 2 Abstract This paper deals with the process of canon formation for Flemish and Dutch painters from the seventeenth century onwards. We examine how the essential art-historical treatises and art encyclopedias since Houbraken’s Grote Schouburgh der Nederlandsche Konstschilders en Schilderessen ranked and evaluated the leading painters, based on the attention given to them in these volumes. Using standardized z-scores, we map the relative importance the selected artists received in these publications over the three centuries. In doing so, we emphasize the path-dependency and the dimension of time in explaining the endurance of certain artists in the long run. From our research it emanates that the canon of Netherlandish painters is much more volatile than previously assumed.

It now gives us particular pleasure to be able to present a selection of works on paper from our stock. This Catalogue 26 has a special focus on French, German, Italian and Netherlandish artists. When we look at the price explosion in the market for modern and contemporary art, we have the impression that we are the tortoise to modern art’s hare. But we’re quite comfortable with this. We feel more far more secure with the solid values and historically robust performance of Old Masters. As collectors in this field, we buy only what we like. We are less concerned about the financial impact on our collections of, say, fluctuations in the oil and commodity markets, or in the Dow Jones Index and the FTSE 100. This is the strength of the Old Master market, coupled with dwindling supply and increasing demand – and the sheer beauty, immediacy and appeal of the works we collect. We are pleased to say that Karoline von Kügelgen has joined the company. She is a distinguished expert in 19th and 20th-century works on paper.
  • Classical Archaeology Under the Auspices of European Art

    Classical Archaeology Under the Auspices of European Art

    Classical Archaeology under the Auspices of European Art Tatjana Filipovska Department for Art History and Archaeology Faculty of Philosophy University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius Skopje [email protected] ABSTRACT Whereas men of letters were searching for and reading codices, the new impulses encouraged the architect Filippo Brunelleschi (1377–1446), together with his friend the sculptor Donatello (1386–1466), to stay in Rome at the very beginning of the fifteenth century in order to study the methods of ancient builders and their “musical proportions”. Their research resulted in sketches of all the buildings in and around Rome, accompanied by their dimensions, that is, their breadth, height and length, provided they were available. In an age when research activities blossomed and conclusions regarding ancient ideals and principles of art and architecture abounded, a whole series of treatises appeared: on proportions and perspective (Piero della Francesca), on painting (Alberti), on architecture and sculpture (Alberti, Ghiberti). These were authored by researchers in the role of archaeologists analysing, synthesising, that is, defining, and then becoming authors who, in theory and in practice, through their own creations, demonstrated their newly acquired knowledge, adapting it to contemporary needs. Should one accept the fact that this return—this careful search for codices and monuments, epigraphs and architectural remnants, accompanied by a considerable interest in Latin and Greek—was not a simple invocation of a glorious past but a search for an authoritative foundation for a new human concept of life. The role of the humanist popes in discovering and conserving Roman classical remains are also significant.

  • Gaspard Dughet: Some Problems in the Connoisseurship of Chalk Drawings

    Gaspard Dughet: Some Problems in the Connoisseurship of Chalk Drawings

    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: GASPARD DUGHET: SOME PROBLEMS IN THE CONNOISSEURSHIP OF CHALK DRAWINGS Sarah Beth Cantor, Master of Arts, 2005 Thesis directed by: Professor Anthony Colantuono Department of Art History and Archaeology Little scholarship has been devoted to the graphic oeuvre of Gaspard Dughet (1615-1675), a prominent landscape painter of the seventeenth century. A number of drawings in red and black chalk have been attributed to Dughet based on their connection to documented paintings. Stylistic comparisons with other examples of Dughet’s work as a draughtsman and technical evidence including medium and watermarks, however, reveal that a group of drawings given to the artist are, in fact, copies done in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. Although Dughet’s contributions are under appreciated today, his work influenced the next generation of landscape artists in Italy and abroad, including the British and many Dutch and Flemish artists who traveled to Italy. This thesis examines not only Dughet’s chalk drawings, but the graphic work of his most well-known Northern followers to determine which artist may have executed these copies.
