The Symbolism of Blood in Two Masterpieces of the Early Italian Baroque Art
The Symbolism of blood in two masterpieces of the early Italian Baroque art Angelo Lo Conte Throughout history, blood has been associated with countless meanings, encompassing life and death, power and pride, love and hate, fear and sacrifice. In the early Baroque, thanks to the realistic mi of Caravaggio and Artemisia Gentileschi, blood was transformed into a new medium, whose powerful symbolism demolished the conformed traditions of Mannerism, leading art into a new expressive era. Bearer of macabre premonitions, blood is the exclamation mark in two of the most outstanding masterpieces of the early Italian Seicento: Caravaggio's Beheading a/the Baptist (1608)' (fig. 1) and Artemisia Gentileschi's Judith beheading Halo/ernes (1611-12)2 (fig. 2), in which two emblematic events of the Christian tradition are interpreted as a representation of personal memories and fears, generating a powerful spiral of emotions which constantly swirls between fiction and reality. Through this paper I propose that both Caravaggio and Aliemisia adopted blood as a symbolic representation of their own life-stories, understanding it as a vehicle to express intense emotions of fear and revenge. Seen under this perspective, the red fluid results as a powerful and dramatic weapon used to shock the viewer and, at the same time, express an intimate and anguished condition of pain. This so-called Caravaggio, The Beheading of the Baptist, 1608, Co-Cathedral of Saint John, Oratory of Saint John, Valletta, Malta. 2 Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith beheading Halafernes, 1612-13, Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, Naples. llO Angelo La Conte 'terrible naturalism'3 symbolically demarks the transition from late Mannerism to early Baroque, introducing art to a new era in which emotions and illusion prevail on rigid and controlled representation. -
Press Release
FRICK TO PRESENT FIRST MAJOR NORTH AMERICAN EXHIBITION ON RENAISSANCE PAINTER GIOVANNI BATTISTA MORONI MORONI: THE RICHES OF RENAISSANCE PORTRAITURE February 21 through June 2, 2019 In Renaissance Italy, one of the aims of portraiture was to make the absent seem present through naturalistic representation of the sitter. This notion—that art can capture an individual exactly as he or she appears—is exemplified in the work of Giovanni Battista Moroni. The artist spent his entire career in and around his native Bergamo, a region in Lombardy northeast of Milan, and left a corpus of portraits that far outnumbers those of his contemporaries who worked in major artistic centers, including Titian in Venice and Bronzino in Florence. Though Moroni never achieved their fame, he innovated the genre of portraiture in spectacular ways. This winter and spring, Giovanni Battista Moroni (b. 1520–24; d. 1579/80), Portrait of a Young Woman, ca. 1575, oil on canvas, private collection; photo: the Frick presents the first major exhibition in North Michael Bodycomb America devoted to his work, bringing together nearly two dozen of Moroni’s most arresting and best known portraits from international collections to explore the innovations and experiments that belie his masterful illusion of recording reality. They will be shown alongside a selection of complementary objects— Renaissance jewelry, textiles, arms and armor, and other luxury items—that exemplify the material and visual world that Moroni recorded, embellished, and transformed. Moroni: Moroni, Giovanni Gerolamo Grumelli, called The Man in Pink, dated 1560, oil on canvas, Fondazione Museo di Palazzo Moroni, Bergamo–Lucretia The Riches of Renaissance Portraiture was organized by Aimee Ng, Associate Curator, Moroni Collection; photo: Mauro Magliani 1 The Frick Collection; Simone Facchinetti, Researcher, Università del Salento, Lecce; and Arturo Galansino, Director General, Palazzo Strozzi, Florence. -

International Journal of Art and Art History December 2017, Vol. 5, No. 2, pp. 13-18 ISSN: 2374-2321 (Print), 2374-233X (Online) Copyright © The Author(s).All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijaah.v5n2p2 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/ijaah.v5n2p2 The Narrowing of Giorgione’s Masterpiece (To the Problem of the Hermitage Judith’s Original Measurements) Ivan Sablin1 The Judith in the museum of Hermitage is one of the few universally acknowledged works by Giorgionei, perhaps the last of them to achieve this standing, for the first time in the 18th century and then definitely, more than a hundred years ago. Such works are rare. Giorgione‟s authorship of even the Castelfranco Madonna has been (recently) contestedii, not to mention a much more complex case of Dresden Venusiii. The most rigorous approach to the size of Giorgione‟s œuvre leaves the artist with only the Three Philosophers in Vienna and the Tempest in Venice, along with the Judith (in spite of some earlier opinions, which have been rejected long ago). None of these attributions is based upon a documentary evidence, be that a verified signature or any archival source, for the only work documented in artist‟s lifetime is the one executed for Fondaco dei tedeschiiv, a fresco cycle long lost to a salty air of Serenissima, its pitiful remains (on show at Franchetti gallery) offering no chance to draw stylistic conclusions for the identification of the other works in question. Yet it is precisely the stylistic analysis that all accepted attributions to Giorgione rely upon, adding to the scarce historic testimonies of not always a trustworthy nature. -
Brescia. the Renaissance in Northern Italy Moretto – Savoldo – Moroni. Raphael – Titian – Lotto 2 June – 28 August 2016
Press release Warsaw 1/06/2016 Brescia. The Renaissance in Northern Italy Moretto – Savoldo – Moroni. Raphael – Titian – Lotto 2 June – 28 August 2016 The exhibition “Brescia. The Renaissance in Northern Italy” set to open in June at the National Museum in Warsaw brings together nearly 50 paintings by masters of the Northern Italian Renaissance: works on loan from the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo in Brescia, from the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo and from Italian private collections alongside a number of canvases by masters of the Lombard/Venetian cinquecento from Polish collections. A standout work serving as both a complement to the other pieces and a key part of the exhibition in its own right is Raphael’s (1483- 1520) Christ Blessing. Raphael, the youngest member of the Italian Renaissance “big three” consisting of himself, Leonardo and Michelangelo, was considered a “divine” painter, his output becoming symbolic of the harmony in Renaissance art and a benchmark of painting perfection. The exhibition invites visitors to compare the work of this great master with the paintings of his contemporaries active in Northern Italy. The exhibition’s presentation, designed by the eminent theatre set designer Boris Kudlička, was envisioned by the exhibition’s creators as having a particularly significant role: to help visitors in identifying and understanding the sources and chief premises of Northern Italian Renaissance painting. From the early 16th century, Venice and other cities of the Veneto and Lombardy regions waged a battle for the supremacy of their painting style – distinct yet still in the shadow of the Tuscan-Roman tradition. Inspiration drawn from the work of the three icons of Renaissance painting and the constant dialogue with them quickly brought magnificent results, with Northern Italian painting growing to become one of the most original and fascinating phenomena in all of European art. -
Raffigurante L'arcangelo Michele Tra I Ss. Valeriano E Giovanni Battista, La
SACCHIS, Giovanni Antonio de’, detto il Pordenone SACCHIS (de Corticellis, Regillo), Giovanni Antonio de’, detto il Pordenone – Nacque verosimilmente a Pordenone verso il 1483-84, figlio del mastro murario Angelo da Brescia (o da Corticelle, donde il de Corticellis che lo designa in alcuni documenti). Nel primo documento noto, del 19-21 maggio 1504, Giovanni Antonio è già indicato come pittore e risulta associato a un collega di origine tedesca, Bartolomeo da Colonia: fatto non strano in una città imperiale quale Pordenone. La cultura figurativa settentrionale è del resto assai ben attestata nel Friuli di primo Rinascimento. A conferma della propria emancipazione, il successivo 16 ottobre il Pordenone sottoscrisse i patti dotali con Anastasia, figlia del maestro Stefano di Giamosa. La prima opera pittorica di cui possediamo la data è il trittico ad affresco della parrocchiale di Valeriano, raffigurante l’Arcangelo Michele tra i ss. Valeriano e Giovanni Battista, la cui iscrizione (oggi pressoché illeggibile ma riportata da Venturi, 1908, pp. 457 s.) suona: «Miser Durigo de / Lasin a fato far questo / S. Michiel per sua devotione / MDCCC: VI. Adì 6 / Zuane Antonio de Sacchis / abitante in Spilimbergo». Il 15 gennaio 1507 il Pordenone fu testimone, in Cordovado, alla consegna della dote al pittore spilimberghese Michele Stella (Pecoraro, 2007, pp. 104, 168 s.). L’informazione della residenza di Giovanni Antonio a Spilimbergo è confermata da un documento del 19 ottobre 1507 che elenca il pittore tra i periti incaricati del collaudo di una perduta pala di Gianfrancesco da Tolmezzo per Castel d’Aviano (Goi, 1991, p. 45, e le precisazioni di Furlan - Francescutti, 2015, p. -

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. -

In reality, however, many talented painters struggled immensely to reach that top, while an even larger number of mediocre painters could only dream of fame and glory. This research is not primarily concerned with the elite artists, nor does it cover the many anonymous painter-craftsmen in the periphery of the art market. Instead, it is devoted to the middle group of ambitious and skilled artists trying to break out of the margins of the art world. Sixteenth-century Venice was a city with an abundance of churches, scuole and palaces, and was governed by a culturally sophisticated elite. -
