(86.4 x 69.9cm) Provenance: Hôtel Drouot, Paris, sale of June 24 1929, lot 8. Acquired directly from the above sale. Walter Andrew Newman, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Newman Galleries, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (as Circle of Rogier van der Weyden, Flemish, 1399-1464). Acquired directly from the above in 2004. Private Collection, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. EXHIBITED: La Salle University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 2005. NOTE: Traditionally regarded as the founder of the Antwerp School of Flemish painting, Quentin Massys was born in Leuven (in what is now Belgium) in 1466. The son of a clockmaker and architect, it is said that Massys was trained as an ironsmith before eventually taking up painting. As an artist, he fell under the influence of the local artist Dirk Bouts, also incorporating the styles of the late Hans Memling and especially Rogier van der Weyden, who coined images and iconographies that Massys took as references and further elaborated. He officially settled in Antwerp in 1491, the same year he became a member of the city's prestigious Guild of Saint Luke. During his career Massys became known as a skilled religious artist, producing many altarpieces and private devotional subjects like the present work for local collectors or churches. He also produced portraits influenced by the Italian Renaissance and typical genre subjects. This powerful and impressive Lamentation is a very close copy of a lost prototype that Massys executed in the 1520s. Here, the artist depicts a dead Christ lying in his mother's arms after his crucifixion on Calvary. Christ is shown naked, his sides flanked by a white drapery that cushions his head, which the Virgin is supporting with both of her hands. Mary is shown fully veiled, wearing a red dress covered by a blue fur coat. She tilts her anguished face towards her son and tenderly brushes her mouth against his newly inanimate lips. In the upper right background stand the three crosses upon which Christ and the malefactors were crucified, while to the left two figures are shown marching on a dirt road, both dressed in oriental garments and carrying presents. In the distance lays Jerusalem, with its distinctive city walls. Several paintings either by or after Massys are comparable to the present work. Arguably the closest related version of the subject is a half-length Pietá now in the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique in Brussels, which may have been painted during the artist's lifetime. Other similar compositions can be found in the Koninklijk Museum in Antwerp and the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, both probably painted after Massys's death, as the present work. The Brussels painting has a different background and a less fully elaborated landscape than the present painting, with a foreground ledge that prominently displays the instruments of Christ's Passion- particularly the crown of thorns and the nails. This ledge obscures the view of the lower extremities of the figures that are in fact visible in our image. The Antwerp picture reduces the pictorial field even further and only shows the two figures at bust-length, almost like a close-up. Yet in all three examples the tender embrace between the Virgin and Christ is depicted-that is, the essential subject matter remains the same. While her hand placement varies in each, Mary is shown in each example wearing the same white linen cap and a garment whose sleeve is delimited by a grey fur cuff. The Munich image is closer to the present work in that it presents the exact same landscape of the three crosses and a view of the city of Jerusalem in the distance (without the figures). Yet, the Munich composition is inverted, with Mary facing left instead of right. This exception indicates that the original, lost prototype was perhaps more in accordance with the present work, which appears as the largest, fullest, and most inclusive record of all the Pietá images from Massys' circle. Contrary to earlier Pietás that were rather small and opted for the full-length format, the artist working in Massys' circle here prefers to adopt a more intense, portrait-style composition in order to focus on the characters' emotions. Ultimately, the work bears the hallmarks of Massys' mature œuvre in that it reflects the Italian influences of Leonardo da Vinci through the aggravated sorrow and sadness of the Virgin Mary, while its composition and feeling of intense religious piety is characteristic of the Netherlandish tradition, as immortalized by Rogier van der Weyden. The present painting was examined in 2004 by Dr. Larry Silver, Professor of History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania. It will be accompanied by a copy of a letter dated November 1, 2004, in which Dr. Silver authenticates the painting as a close contemporary copy of a lost original by Massys..

  • The Early Netherlandish Underdrawing Craze and the End of a Connoisseurship Era
    Genius disrobed: The Early Netherlandish underdrawing craze and the end of a connoisseurship era Noa Turel In the 1970s, connoisseurship experienced a surprising revival in the study of Early Netherlandish painting. Overshadowed for decades by iconographic studies, traditional inquiries into attribution and quality received a boost from an unexpected source: the Ph.D. research of the Dutch physicist J. R. J. van Asperen de Boer.1 His contribution, summarized in the 1969 article 'Reflectography of Paintings Using an Infrared Vidicon Television System', was the development of a new method for capturing infrared images, which more effectively penetrated paint layers to expose the underdrawing.2 The system he designed, followed by a succession of improved analogue and later digital ones, led to what is nowadays almost unfettered access to the underdrawings of many paintings. Part of a constellation of established and emerging practices of the so-called 'technical investigation' of art, infrared reflectography (IRR) stood out in its rapid dissemination and impact; art historians, especially those charged with the custodianship of important collections of Early Netherlandish easel paintings, were quick to adopt it.3 The access to the underdrawings that IRR afforded was particularly welcome because it seems to somewhat offset the remarkable paucity of extant Netherlandish drawings from the first half of the fifteenth century. The IRR technique propelled rapidly and enhanced a flurry of connoisseurship-oriented scholarship on these Early Netherlandish panels, which, as the earliest extant realistic oil pictures of the Renaissance, are at the basis of Western canon of modern painting. This resulted in an impressive body of new literature in which the evidence of IRR played a significant role.4 In this article I explore the surprising 1 Johan R.

  • From Patinir's Workshop to the Monastery of Pedralbes. a Virgin
    https://doi.org/10.5565/rev/locus.323 LOCVS AMŒNVS 16, 2018 19 - 57 From Patinir’s Workshop to the Monastery of Pedralbes. A Virgin and Child in a Landscape Rafael Cornudella Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona [email protected] Reception: 05/04/2018, Acceptance: 23/06/2018, Publication: 04/12/2018 Abstract Among the paintings of netherlandish origin imported into Catalonia during the first half of the 16th century, preserved at the Monastery of Pedralbes, there is a small panel featuring the Madonna and Child in a landscape which is attributed here to Patinir’s workshop, not excluding the possibility of some autograph intervention by the master. Whatever the case, this article sets out to situate the piece both in the context of its production and in that of its reception, that is, the community of nuns of Saint Claire of Pedralbes. What is interesting about this apparently modest work is the fact that it combines a set of ingredients typical of Patinir in a composition that is otherwise atypical as regards his known output as a whole, above all in terms of the relationship between the figure and the landscape, although also of its presumed iconographic simplicity. The final section of the article examines the piece in relation to the ever-controver- sial issue –which still remains to be definitively resolved– of the authorship of the figures in the works of Patinir. Keywords: Joachim Patinir; 16th Century Netherlandish Painting; landscape painting; The Virgin suckling the Child; The Rest during the Flight into Egypt; Monastery of Santa Maria de Pedralbes Resum Del taller de Patinir al monestir de Pedralbes.

  • Chapter 1. in Search of Memling in Rogier's Workshop
    CHAPTER 1. IN SEARCH OF MEMLING IN ROGIER’S WORKSHOP Scholars have long assumed that Memling trained with Rogier van der Weyden in Brussels,1 although no documents place him in Rogier’s workshop. Yet several sixteenth-century sources link the two artists, and Memling’s works refl ect a knowledge of many of Rogier’s fi gure types, compositions, and iconographical motifs. Such resemblances do not prove that Memling was Rogier’s apprentice, however, for Rogier was quoted extensively well into the sixteenth century by a variety of artists who did not train with him. In fact, Memling’s paintings are far from cop- ies of their Rogierian prototypes, belying the traditional argument that he saw them in Rogier’s workshop. Although drawings of these paintings remained in Rogier’s workshop long after his death, the paintings themselves left Brussels well before the period of Memling’s presumed apprenticeship with Rogier from 1459 or 1460 until Rogier’s death in 1464.2 Writers have often suggested that Memling participated in some of Rogier’s paintings, al- though no evidence of his hand has been found in the technical examinations of paintings in the Rogier group.3 One might argue that his style would naturally be obscured in these works because assistants were trained to work in the style of the master.4 Yet other styles have been revealed in the underdrawing of a number of paintings of the Rogier group; this is especially true of the Beaune and Columba Altarpieces (pl. 3 and fi g. 9), the two works with which paintings by Memling are so often associated.5 Molly Faries and Maryan Ainsworth have demonstrated that some of Memling’s early works contain brush underdrawings in a style remarkably close to that of the underdrawings in paint- ings of the Rogier group, and they have argued that Memling must have learned this technique in Rogier’s workshop.6 Although these arguments are convincing, they do not establish when and in what capacity Memling entered Rogier’s workshop or how long he remained there.

  • The Implementation of Chiaroscuro Visual Characters Using Woodcut Printmaking Technique on Textile
    6th Bandung Creative Movement International Conference in Creative Industries 2019 (6th BCM 2019) The Implementation of Chiaroscuro Visual Characters Using Woodcut Printmaking Technique on Textile Mochammad Sigit Ramadhan1 1Craft Textile and Fashion, School of Creative Industries, Telkom University, Indonesia [email protected] Abstract One of the characteristics in the 15th century Renaissance that there was a dramatic visual expression in the worNs of art, especially painting. ,t‘s usually visualized Ey the artists at that time with the use of the light-dark principle on the objects presented in the artwork. This light-dark principle is known as chiaroscuro, and in the history of its development this chiaroscuro principle was applied also in printmaking by several artists in Europe. The chiaroscuro character can be built with the composition of color values with different intensities through the process of printing a matrix on the print media. There are two methods that can be used to produce color printmaking work, multi-block and reduction method that have their own advantages and disadvantages in visualizing the chiaroscuro principle. In addition to paper materials, the application of woodcut printmaking is also carried out on textile materials known as block-printing. However, there are not many works on textile materials that use the chiaroscuro principle because in general the coloring character in the visual image or design used tends to be solid color. Based on the explanation, there is an opportunity to apply the visual chiaro- scuro character to the textile materials by using woodcut printmaking technique. The use of woodcut printmaking technique allows artist to produce a number of different color values by referring to the light layer falling on the object, so that the impression of volume and depth created in the artwork will be more visible.
