  • Jheronimus Bosch-His Sources
    In the concluding review of his 1987 monograph on Jheronimus Bosch, Roger Marijnissen wrote: ‘In essays and studies on Bosch, too little attention has been paid to the people who Jheronimus Bosch: his Patrons and actually ordered paintings from him’. 1 And in L’ABCdaire de Jérôme Bosch , a French book published in 2001, the same author warned: ‘Ignoring the original destination and function his Public of a painting, one is bound to lose the right path. The function remains a basic element, and What we know and would like to know even the starting point of all research. In Bosch’s day, it was the main reason for a painting to exist’. 2 The third International Bosch Conference focuses precisely on this aspect, as we can read from the official announcement (’s-Hertogenbosch, September 2012): ‘New information Eric De Bruyn about the patrons of Bosch is of extraordinary importance, since such data will allow for a much better understanding of the original function of these paintings’. Gathering further information about the initial reception of Bosch’s works is indeed one of the urgent desiderata of Bosch research for the years to come. The objective of this introductory paper is to offer a state of affairs (up to September 2012) concerning the research on Bosch’s patronage and on the original function of his paintings. I will focus on those things that can be considered proven facts but I will also briefly mention what seem to be the most interesting hypotheses and signal a number of desiderata for future research.

Jewitt, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2014 Landscape painting assumed a new prominence in Venetian painting between the late fifteenth to early sixteenth century: this study aims to understand why and how this happened. It begins by redefining the conception of landscape in Renaissance Italy and then examines several ambitious easel paintings produced by major Venetian painters, beginning with Giovanni Bellini’s (c.1431- 36-1516) St. Francis in the Desert (c.1475), that give landscape a far more significant role than previously seen in comparable commissions by their peers, or even in their own work. After an introductory chapter reconsidering all previous hypotheses regarding Venetian painters’ reputations as accomplished landscape painters, it is divided into four chronologically arranged case study chapters.

  • Translating Magic: Remedios Varo's Visual Language A
    TRANSLATING MAGIC: REMEDIOS VARO’S VISUAL LANGUAGE A THESIS IN Art and Art History Presented to the Faculty of the University Of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of The requirement for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by MEREDITH DERKS B.A., University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011 Kansas City, Missouri 2017 © 2017 MEREDITH DERKS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TRANSLATING MAGIC: REMEDIOS VARO’S VISUAL LANGUAGE Meredith Derks, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2017 ABSTRACT Remedios Varo was fascinated by esoteric subject matter. Her studies included alchemy, Russian mysticism, Tarot, and the occult. While her paintings frequently depict a scientist, explorer, or some magical figure in a meticulously rendered setting there is a deeper understanding to be gained though examining what Varo studied and how she used specific iconography and references in her work. Varo created her own personal symbolic language, which, once learned, allows the viewer to read her paintings. Each chapter of this thesis aims to dissect an aspect of Varo’s work, or a source of inspiration for her work, in an effort to translate Varo’s personal visual language. After the first introductory chapter, the second chapter will look at the symbol of the mountain and its incorporation into Varo’s oeuvre. The third chapter discusses Varo’s attachment to Hieronymus Bosch and the influence his work had on her. The fourth chapter uses the Tarot, and its iconography, as well as the Surrealist’s interpretation of the Tarot and examines where certain visual cues can be seen in her work.

This study explores the representation of holy places in devotional images from the early Christian era to the post-Byzantine period. I delineate five phases of this development. The first phase (300s-500s) was connected to the rise of Christian sacred sites. Christian ideas about sacredness of locations built upon the Greek and Roman cults, and the Jewish religion but reflected Christianity’s own practices. Despite the variety of Christian holy places, only biblical sites appeared in religious images. This tendency changed in the post-Iconoclastic period. After the 900s, non-biblical sacred places gradually populated icons. All of these were monastic. The roots of this iconographic development must be sought in the standardization of the representation of saints. The Menologion of Basil II (976- 1025) exemplifies the first systematic association of saints with specific locations.

C. PREFACE SINCE in the last quarter of the nineteenth century the art of Japan began to captivate the Western world, collectors and students have gradually come to understand that the colour- prints, the lacquer, and the small ivories which were the first revelation of that art to Europe are, in fact, but subordinate manifestations of a great pictorial tradition. And the more the painting of Japan is studied, the more one is brought to realise its intimate relation with the painting of China; and that, again, can never be rightly understood without some knowledge of the successive waves of religious impulse and idea which have their origin in India. This unity of Asia is the main thesis of Mr. Kakuzo Okakura’s “ Ideals of the East,” a little book which aimed at tracing the varying phases of the Asian ideal as it is shown in art.
