    The Master of the Unruly Children and His Artistic and Creative Identities

    The Master of the Unruly Children and his Artistic and Creative Identities Hannah R. Higham A Thesis Submitted to The University of Birmingham For The Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Art History, Film and Visual Studies School of Languages, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines a group of terracotta sculptures attributed to an artist known as the Master of the Unruly Children. The name of this artist was coined by Wilhelm von Bode, on the occasion of his first grouping seven works featuring animated infants in Berlin and London in 1890. Due to the distinctive characteristics of his work, this personality has become a mainstay of scholarship in Renaissance sculpture which has focused on identifying the anonymous artist, despite the physical evidence which suggests the involvement of several hands. Chapter One will examine the historiography in connoisseurship from the late nineteenth century to the present and will explore the idea of the scholarly “construction” of artistic identity and issues of value and innovation that are bound up with the attribution of these works.

Russell May 2015 © 2015 Sandra E. Russell. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Donatello’s Terracotta Louvre Madonna: A Consideration of Structure and Meaning by SANDRA E. RUSSELL has been approved for the School of Art + Design and the College of Fine Arts by Marilyn Bradshaw Professor of Art History Margaret Kennedy-Dygas Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 Abstract RUSSELL, SANDRA E., M.A., May 2015, Art History Donatello’s Terracotta Louvre Madonna: A Consideration of Structure and Meaning Director of Thesis: Marilyn Bradshaw A large relief at the Musée du Louvre, Paris (R.F. 353), is one of several examples of the Madonna and Child in terracotta now widely accepted as by Donatello (c. 1386-1466). A medium commonly used in antiquity, terracotta fell out of favor until the Quattrocento, when central Italian artists became reacquainted with it. Terracotta was cheap and versatile, and sculptors discovered that it was useful for a range of purposes, including modeling larger works, making life casts, and molding. Reliefs of the half- length image of the Madonna and Child became a particularly popular theme in terracotta, suitable for domestic use or installation in small chapels. Donatello’s Louvre Madonna presents this theme in a variation unusual in both its form and its approach. In order to better understand the structure and the meaning of this work, I undertook to make some clay works similar to or suggestive of it.

These chiefly support our dissertation, research and publication grants, our travel grants for modern topics, February 15, 2019 programs like Emerging Scholars workshops, and the cost of networking and social events including receptions. The costs Dear Members of the Italian Art Society: of events, especially, have risen dramatically in recent years, especially as these have largely been organized at CAA and I have generally used these messages to RSA, usually in expensive cities and often at even more promote upcoming programing and events, to call expensive conference hotels. The cost of even one reception attention to recent awards, and to summarize all the in New York, for example, can quickly balloon to activities we regularly support. There are certainly no overshadow our financial support of scholarship. It will be a shortage of such announcements in the near future and significant task for my successor and our entire executive I’m certain that my successor Mark Rosen will have committee to strategize for how we might respond to rising quite a bit to report soon, including our speaker for the costs and how we can best use our limited resources to best 2019 IAS/Kress lecture in Milan.

    Passepartour 2019

    PASSEPARTOUR 2019 FIRENZE OLTRARNO THE KEYS OF ACCESSIBILITY Florence is a world heritage site and as such it must be accessible to all, without exclusion. Florence welcomes people with physical disabilities due to an abundance of pedestrian areas and accessible historical and artistic sites. It is also unde- niable that some routes of the city-center - similar to many other historical cities throughout the world - may present some difficulties for people using wheelchairs: for example narrow streets, tiny sidewalks that are not easily passable or not homogeneous pavement. To address this problem and provide information on which paths are the best to follow for people with physical disabilities, the Municipality of Florence in collaboration with Kinoa Srl have designed and published this Guide. The PASSEPARTOUR project is made up of four volumes, each describing four different tourist itineraries "without barriers". In addition, the guide provides a map of the historical city-center, highlighting all the areas that can be navigated with complete autonomy, or with the support of a helper. In addition, Kinoa has developed the navigation app Kimap, which acts as a companion tool to the guide for the mobility of disabled people. Kimap can be downloaded for free on every smartphone: the app shows the most accessible path to reach your desired destination and is constantly updated. We hope that this project will contribute to improve the tourist experi- ence for those visiting our marvellous City, opening the doors to its extraordinary heritage. Cecilia Del Re Councilor for Tourism of the City of Florence Florence is a world heritage site and as such it must be accessible to all, without exclusion.

(Romy) van den Bosch Student no.: s1746960 Email address: [email protected] First reader: Dr. E. Grasman Second reader: Prof. dr. S.P.M. Bussels Specialisation: Early modern and medieval art Academic year: 2018-2019 Declaration: I hereby certify that this work has been written by me, and that it is not the product of plagiarism or any other form of academic misconduct. Signature: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This thesis is the result of a long and intense process and it would not have been possible without the help and encouragement of a number of people. I would first like to thank my thesis advisor Dr. Edward Grasman. Thanks to his patience and guidance throughout this long process and the necessary steering in the right direction when I needed it, I can now finish this project. Secondly, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Paul van den Akker and Drs. Irmgard Koningsbruggen. My love for Florence began during a school excursion led by these two great teachers, who showed us the secret and not so secret places of Florence, and most importantly, introduced me to the Palazzo Davanzati. Finally, I must express my profound gratitude to my parents and my sister for their love, unfailing belief and continuous encouragement in me during this process, and to my friends, family and roommates, who picked me up when I had fallen down and constantly reminded me that I was able to finish this process.
