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Arts and Law The University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. 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.

    BOOK REVIEWS BOKODY, Péter: Images-within-Images in Italian Painting (1250–1350). Reality and Reflexivity, Ashgate, Farnham – Burlington, 2015. xiv+229 pages, 20 pages of plates A picture within another picture begins appear- ing from the second half of the thirteenth cen- tury, when a powerful turn can be discerned in Italian painting. Earlier, painters tried to per- suade viewers of the “real presence” of sacred things; from this moment up to about the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries they tried to represent these things, to render them visible. Representations became truer to reality towards the end of the duecento, with an aim of mirroring small details, too. The spatial correla- tion of persons and objects was pondered about, the goal being to grasp real space, to make the third dimension visible. The growing interest in representing reality, in rendering the plasticity and spatial placement of figures gave rise to the possibility of depicting separate pictures within a picture: images-within-images. Though connoisseurs and researchers of painting have been aware of this phenomenon for ages, it was a lecture by André Chastel in 1964 that first analyzed it thoroughly after some occa- sional mentions,1 after which research began to inquire into it as a self-contained phenomenon. Chastel retraced the device to the Eyckian turn Cover illustration: Crucifixion. Giotto di Bondone: in the early fifteenth century and pointed out Allegory of Obedience, 1310s, fresco.

  • Bocche Inutili: Incorporating Pisa in the Florentine Imaginary Cristelle L
    Early Modern Women: An Interdiciplinary Journal 2006, vol. 1 Bocche Inutili: Incorporating Pisa in the Florentine Imaginary Cristelle L. Baskins wo pictures, today in Dublin at the National Gallery of Ireland, Tserved originally as the front panels of a pair of fifteenth-century Florentine cassoni, or wedding chests, made as containers for the dowry goods of brides.1 These panels represent the Conquest of Pisa in 1406 (figures 1 and 2) and the Battle of Anghiari that took place in 1440 (figure 3). No documentation has yet come to light to inform us about the artist or artists responsible for these pictures or the commission to paint them. The style of the panels suggests a date circa 1460. The subject matter and the heraldry represented point to the Capponi family as likely patrons.2 The Conquest of Pisa features a foreground frieze of soldiers on horseback and on foot, with the tents of their encampment visible along the bottom perimeter of the panel. The city of Florence is seen at the upper left, identified by civic monuments including the Duomo and the tower of the Palazzo della Signoria. Opposite Florence we find a large cityscape of Pisa, including its most famous landmark, the Leaning Tower. The Conquest of Pisa represents the climactic entry of Florentine troops through the gate of S. Marco and the replacement of the Pisan standard with the lily of Florence. Located precisely in the middle ground of the composition, just outside the walls of the conquered city, almost lost amid the chaos of battle, are two groups of women and children, the “useless mouths” (bocche inutili).
