  • Classical Nakedness in British Sculpture and Historical Painting 1798-1840 Cora Hatshepsut Gilroy-Ware Ph.D Univ
    MARMOREALITIES: CLASSICAL NAKEDNESS IN BRITISH SCULPTURE AND HISTORICAL PAINTING 1798-1840 CORA HATSHEPSUT GILROY-WARE PH.D UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT Exploring the fortunes of naked Graeco-Roman corporealities in British art achieved between 1798 and 1840, this study looks at the ideal body’s evolution from a site of ideological significance to a form designed consciously to evade political meaning. While the ways in which the incorporation of antiquity into the French Revolutionary project forged a new kind of investment in the classical world have been well-documented, the drastic effects of the Revolution in terms of this particular cultural formation have remained largely unexamined in the context of British sculpture and historical painting. By 1820, a reaction against ideal forms and their ubiquitous presence during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wartime becomes commonplace in British cultural criticism. Taking shape in a series of chronological case-studies each centring on some of the nation’s most conspicuous artists during the period, this thesis navigates the causes and effects of this backlash, beginning with a state-funded marble monument to a fallen naval captain produced in 1798-1803 by the actively radical sculptor Thomas Banks. The next four chapters focus on distinct manifestations of classical nakedness by Benjamin West, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Stothard together with Richard Westall, and Henry Howard together with John Gibson and Richard James Wyatt, mapping what I identify as

  • Rembrandt, Vermeer and Other Masters of the Dutch Golden Age at Louvre Abu Dhabi
    REMBRANDT, VERMEER AND OTHER MASTERS OF THE DUTCH GOLDEN AGE AT LOUVRE ABU DHABI SOCIAL DIARY | FEBRUARY, 2019 From 14 February to 18 May 2018, Louvre Abu Dhabi will present Rembrandt, Vermeer and The Dutch Golden Age: Masterpieces from The Leiden Collection and the Musée du Louvre. Jan Lievens (1607-1674) Boy in a Cape and Turban (Portrait of Prince Rupert of the Palatinate) ca. 1631 Oil on panel New York, The Leiden Collection Image courtesy of The Leiden Collection, New York. Marking the 350th anniversary of Rembrandt’s death, this new exhibition at Louvre Abu Dhabi is the largest showing to date in the Gulf Region of works by Dutch 17th-Century masters. This exhibition is the result of a remarkable collaboration of Louvre Abu Dhabi, The Leiden Collection, The Musée du Louvre and Agence France-Museums who have worked very closely to showcase this extraordinary assemblage of 95 paintings, drawings and objects. Also a rare opportunity to see 16 remarkable paintings by Rembrandt van Rijn, along with rare pieces by Johannes Vermeer, Jan Lievens or Carel Fabritius. Not familiar with The Dutch Golden Age? It was a brief period during the 17th century when the Dutch Republic, newly independent from the Spanish Crown, established itself as a world leader in trade, science and the arts, and was regarded as the most prosperous state in Europe. During this period, Rembrandt and Vermeer established themselves at the forefront of a new artistic movement characterized by a deep interest in humanity and daily life. This exhibition is drawn primarily from The Leiden Collection, one of the largest and most significant private collections of artworks from the Dutch Golden Age.

Endnotes 49. Figure List 55. Figures 57. Bibliography 70. Winter iii Abstract: In the Renaissance, the bodies of individuals were understood as guides to their internal identities, which influenced the public understanding of the figure represented in art—be it in terms of politics, personal life, or legacy. The classicizing and religious paintings by Titian (c. 1488/90-1576) show the subject’s state of being, at a particular moment in a story, through the use of body language. The body is a vehicle for narrative that demonstrates the sitter’s identity, relating the intricacies of the body to both the mind and the story. By exploring the humanist combination of philosophical theories regarding the relationship between the soul and the body, it is clear that Titian used these concepts to elevate the human figures in his narrative paintings. Formal analysis and Renaissance artistic theories by Alberti and others suggest that Renaissance artists operated under the assumption that how their sitters appeared was tantamount to representing their identities. Current scholarship has not yet considered this particular relationship in Titian’s works.

  • Titian: Venus Anadyomene (Venus Emerging from the Sea), C 1525
    Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2015 Meet the Masters: Highlights from the Scottish National Gallery Titian: Venus Anadyomene (Venus emerging from the sea), c 1525 Louise Marshall 18/19 February 2015 Lecture summary: “In 1524 Federico Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, commissioning a work from Sebastiano del Piombo, wrote that he did not want ‘saint’s stuff [cose di sancti]’ but ‘some pictures which are attractive and beautiful to look at’. He seems to have been part of a trend.” (Peter Burke, The Italian Renaissance: culture and society in Italy,165.) Federico Gonzaga would certainly have approved of Titian’s Venus, which exemplifies the new genre of the poesie, or painted poetry, developed in Venice in the early sixteenth century with the paintings of Giorgione (d. 1510) and Titian (c. 1490?-1576). This lecture discusses the ways in which Renaissance patrons and artists looked back to the classical past for inspiration while at the same time transforming and adapting classical subject matter to suit their own purposes. We will look at the way Titian’s deceptively simple composition engages in the paragone (debate/competition) between ancient and modern art, and between painting and sculpture—since it is a recreation of a lost work by Apelles, the most famous and celebrated of all Greek painters, whose composition was known through Roman sculpted copies. In this sense it can be seen as a kind of manifesto, a triumphant proclamation of Titian’s superiority over all comers, a celebration of the power of his brush and its power to transmute paint into living, palpable flesh.
