  • ELISABETTA SIRANI's JUDITH with the HEAD of HOLOFERNES By
    ELISABETTA SIRANI’S JUDITH WITH THE HEAD OF HOLOFERNES by JESSICA COLE RUBINSKI (Under the Direction of Shelley Zuraw) ABSTRACT This thesis examines the life and artistic career of the female artist, Elisabetta Sirani. The paper focuses on her unparalleled depictions of heroines, especially her Judith with the Head of Holofernes. By tracing the iconography of Judith from masters of the Renaissance into the mid- seventeenth century, it is evident that Elisabetta’s painting from 1658 is unique as it portrays Judith in her ultimate triumph. Furthermore, an emphasis is placed on the relationship between Elisabetta’s Judith and three of Guido Reni’s Judith images in terms of their visual resemblances, as well as their symbolic similarities through the incorporation of a starry sky and crescent moon. INDEX WORDS: Elisabetta Sirani, Judith, Holofernes, heroines, Timoclea, Giovanni Andrea Sirani, Guido Reni, female artists, Italian Baroque, Bologna ELISABETTA SIRANI’S JUDITH WITH THE HEAD OF HOLOFERNES by JESSICA COLE RUBINSKI B.A., Florida State University, 2003 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2008 © 2008 Jessica Cole Rubinski All Rights Reserved ELISABETTA SIRANI’S JUDITH WITH THE HEAD OF HOLOFERNES by JESSICA COLE RUBINSKI Major Professor: Dr. Shelley Zuraw Committee: Dr. Isabelle Wallace Dr. Asen Kirin Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia May 2008 iv To my Family especially To my Mother, Pamela v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank Robert Henson of Carolina Day School for introducing me to the study of Art History, and the professors at Florida State University for continuing to spark my interest and curiosity for the subject.

  • Pietro Da Cortona in Nineteenth-Century Children's
    The Painter and the Scullery Boy: Pietro da Cortona in Nineteenth-Century Children’s Literature* Lindsey Schneider Pietro Berrettini (1597-1669), called Pietro da Cortona, was one of the most influential artists in seventeenth-century Italy and was celebrated as the premier decorative painter of his generation, most notably for his ceiling in the Barberini Palace in Rome (1633-39). His reputation began to suffer soon after his death, however, due in large part to changing standards of taste that no longer tolerated the extravagances of the High Baroque style that he helped to develop and with which he is indelibly linked.1 In 1692 the director of the French Academy in Rome, Matthieu de La Teulière, reported back to Paris that, ‘Pietro da Cortona and his school have spread such great debauchery here, operating under the guise of virtuosity, *<+ giving everything over to the whims of their imaginations,’2 and made similar statements the following year, in which he charged Cortona, Bernini and Borromini with ruining the fine arts with their excess.3 This view endured over the ensuing centuries and the trope of the Baroque as a diseased and cancerous style – with Cortona as one of its prime vectors of transmission – became commonplace in art-theoretical literature. Nearly a century after La Teulière, Francesco Milizia vilified the same trio of artists, saying that Cortona, along with Borromini and Bernini, ‘represent a diseased taste – one that has infected a great number of artists’.4 In London around the same time, James Barry singled Cortona

  • Giovanni Pietro Bellori: Excerpts from the Idea of the Painter, Sculptor, and Architect
    1 GIOVANNI PIETRO BELLORI: EXCERPTS FROM THE IDEA OF THE PAINTER, SCULPTOR, AND ARCHITECT The highest and eternal intellect, author of nature, in fashioning his marvelous works looked deeply into himself and constituted the first forms, called Ideas, in such a way that each species was expressed by that original Idea, giving form to the marvelous context of things created. But the celestial bodies above the moon, not subject to change, remained forever beautiful and well-ordered, so that we come to know them from their measured spheres and from the splendor of their aspects as being eternally most just and most beautiful. Sublunar bodies on the contrary are subject to change and deformity; and although nature always intends to produce excellent effects, nevertheless, because of the inequality of matter the forms change, and human beauty is especially disarranged, as we see from the infinite deformities and disproportions that are in us. For this reason the noble Painters and Sculptors imitating that first maker, also form in their minds an example of superior beauty, and in beholding it they emend nature with faultless color or line. This Idea, or truly the Goddess of Painting and Sculpture when the sacred curtains of tine lofty genius of a Daedalus or an Apelles are parted, is revealed to us and enters the marble and the canvases. Born from nature it overcomes its origin and becomes the model of art; measured with the compass of the intellect it becomes die measure of the hand; and animated by fantasy it gives life to the image.

  • Les Vite De Giovanni Pietro Bellori (1672) : Entre Valorisation Et Dispersion Du Patrimoine Vasarien
    LES VITE DE GIOVANNI PIETRO BELLORI (1672) : ENTRE VALORISATION ET DISPERSION DU PATRIMOINE VASARIEN Ismène COTENSIN Dans la conclusion de 1568 des Vite, Giorgio Vasari s’adresse à ses confrères artistes et laisse entendre que des successeurs éventuels pourraient écrire la suite de son ouvrage : « chi scriverà il rimanente di questa istoria potrà farlo con più grandezza e maestà »1. Cette phrase révèle l’optimisme final qui anime la seconde édition des Vite : la confiance en un avenir glorieux pour les arts. Giovanni Pietro Bellori est l’un de ceux qui exauce le vœu de Giorgio Vasari. Figure centrale de la Rome artistique du XVIIe siècle, réputé pour son érudition et ses nombreuses publications sur les monnaies et les médailles antiques, Bellori a exercé plusieurs charges prestigieuses, dont celles de conservateur des Antiquités pour la cour papale, premier recteur de l’Académie de Saint-Luc, et antiquaire et gardien de la collection de médailles de la reine Christine de Suède. Bellori nous intéresse particulièrement parce qu’il est l’auteur du recueil de Vies d’artistes intitulé, Le Vite de’ pittori, scultori ed architetti moderni, publié à Rome en 1672, soit un siècle après l’édition Giuntina. Bellori entretient un rapport ambigu avec Vasari : dans l’Avis au lecteur, il affirme vouloir prendre ses distances avec Vasari et, dit-il, tous ceux qui ont fait un éloge exagéré des Florentins et des Toscans. En ne sélectionnant que douze artistes pour composer son recueil, Bellori rompt également avec la dimension presque encyclopédique des Vite de Vasari. Néanmoins, l’ouvrage de cet auteur romain reste empreint du paradigme établi un siècle plus tôt.
