Museum Collection, the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo Museum Collection, The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo was established in 1959 to house the Matsukata Collection returned to the Japanese government by the French government. While at the time of the opening the majority of the collection was French modern art, such as Renoir paintings and Rodin sculptures, over the course of the half-century since its founding, the museum collection has been expanded in line with the goal of presenting the flow of western art from the Renaissance to the World War II era. Thus the collection today encompasses a much broader spectrum of artist nationality and period than at its founding. 19th Century Hall: Sculpture by Rodin Auguste Rodin The Age of Bronze 1877 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin The Thinker 1881-82 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin Fallen Caryatid Carrying Her Stone c.1881-82 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin Eternal Springtime 1881-84 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin Orpheus and the Maenads Before 1889 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin Balzac (Last Study) 1897 (model), 1961 (cast) Donated by the Asahi Shimbun Auguste Rodin Meditation After 1900 Matsukata Collection 14th-16th Century Paintings Sienese School of the 14th St. Michael and the Dragon 14th century Century Andreas Ritzos Icon: Ascension of Christ with the 15th century Ex-Matsukata Collection Hetoimasia Mariotto di Nardo Predella Panel Representing the Legend of 1408 St. Stephen Carlo Crivelli St. Augustine c.1487-88 (?)

    European Art & Decorative Arts Wall Text and Extended Labels FIRST FLOOR The Morgan Memorial The construction of the Morgan Memorial, completed in two sections in 1910 and 1915, more than doubled the size of the original Wadsworth Atheneum that opened in 1844. The building is dedicated to Junius Spencer Morgan, whose bust by William Wetmore Story stands at the top of the western stairs. Morgan was a Hartford man who founded a banking empire, and his son, J. Pierpont Morgan, chose to build the museum’s new wing as a tribute to his father. The total cost of the Memorial—over $1,400,000—represents the largest of J. Pierpont Morgan’s generous gifts. He spent over twelve years purchasing the several properties on which the Memorial stands, and was involved in its construction until his death in 1913. Benjamin Wistar Morris, a noted New York architect, was selected to design what was to be a new home for the Wadsworth Atheneum’s art collection. It was built in the grand English Renaissance style, and finished with magnificent interior details. Four years after J. Pierpont Morgan’s death, his son, J. Pierpont Morgan Jr., followed the wishes outlined in his father’s will and gave the Wadsworth Atheneum a trove of ancient art and European decorative arts from his father’s renowned collection. Living in the Ancient World Ordinary objects found at sites from the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East reveal a great deal about daily life in the ancient world. Utensils for eating and drinking, glassware, lamps, jewelry, pottery, and stone vessels disclose the details of everyday life.

  • Tirage a Part Strasbourq 1990 DAVID's SLING and MICHELANGELO's BOW
    Tirage a part StrasbourQ 1990 DAVID'S SLING AND MICHELANGELO'S BOW: A SIGN OF FREED OM* IRVING LAVIN It is no accident that the American cartoonist Mike Luckovich should have chosen Michelangelo's David as his vehicle to satirize the recent efforts by certain Federal officials to censor works of art created at government expense (Figs. 1, 2). Luckovich's lampoon is prima facie evidence of the unique status the David has attained in Western society, as a symbol of the defiant spirit of human freedom and independence in the face of extreme adversity. The cartoon also perfectly illustrates the fact that the emblematic preeminence of the David is due largely to Michelangelo's having incorporated in a single, revolutionary image two of the quintessential constituents of the idea of liberty, one creative, and therefore personal, the other political, and therefore communal. We can define this dual significance of the David with a good deal of confidence because of l.Mike Luckovich, cartoon (from Newsweek, August 7, 1989) 108 2. Michelangelo, David, Accademia, Florence a famous but still inadequately understood drawing, preserved in the Louvre, in which Michelangelo virtually says as much himself (Fig. 3). To my knowledge, the drawing is the first instance in which an artist actually articulates in words on a preliminary study the sense of the work he is preparing. My purpose in this paper to define and explore the two, complementary aspects of the David by offering some observations and suggestions concerning the Louvre sheet and its implications. Let me emphasize at once that there is nothing new in suggesting that the David had personal meaning for Michelangelo: Vasari records that Michelangelo returned from Rome to Florence expressly in order to compete for the commission.

  • Egidio Dall'oglio
    Egidio Dall’Oglio Italian / Italiano, 1704–1784 Madonna and Child with St. Anne Appearing to Sts. Anthony, Charles Borromeo, and Philip Neri Oil on canvas, 1748 Egidio dall’Oglio spent six years in the Venice workshop of Giambattista Piazzetta (to whom this large canvas was once attributed) but ultimately settled on the mainland and made a career producing works for churches near Treviso and Belluno. Depicting a heavenly vision of the Madonna and Child with Saint Anne appearing to Saints Anthony, Charles Borromeo, and Philip Neri, this painting is the upper section of an ensemble created for the parish church in Giavera del Montello. In 1918, when Austria invaded northern Italy, a battle was fought in Giavera and the church was damaged, leading to the removal and ultimate sale of this surviving fragment. Madona y niño con Santa Ana en Aparición a los santos Antonio, Carlos Borromeo y Felipe Neri Óleo sobre lienzo, 1748 Egidio dall’Oglio pasó seis años en Venecia en el taller de Giambattista Piazzetta (a quien alguna vez se le atribuyó este gran lienzo), pero finalmente se estableció en tierra firme donde hizo carrera produciendo obras para las iglesias cerca de Treviso y Belluno. Esta pintura, que representa una visión celestial de la Madona y el niño con Santa Ana apareciéndose a los santos Antonio, Carlos Borromeo y Felipe Neri, es la parte superior de un conjunto creado para la iglesia parroquial de Giavera del Montello. En 1918, cuando Austria invadiera el norte de Italia, se libró una batalla en Giavera durante la cual se dañó la iglesia, provocando que este fragmento sobreviviente tuviera que ser retirado y finalmente se vendiera.

  • Perspectives on the Académie
    PERSPECTIVES ON THE ACADÉMIE LA LETTRE DE L’ACADÉMIE NUMBER 91 1 | | 2 Editorial | As we were editing this special issue of the Lettre de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts presenting our Compagnie’s activities and heritage, the Wednesday 15 January 2020 election of Catherine Meurisse to the Painting section further broadened the spectrum of disciplines it embraces. This young artist, elected at the age of 39, became the youngest member not only of our Académie but of the entire Institut de France. With her, we welcome comics – often referred to as the Ninth Art – as well the art of press cartooning. Sixty years thus separate Catherine Meurisse from our beloved oldest member, Pierre-Yves Trémois. This election is yet another demonstration the extraordinary diversity of aesthetics and means of expression found within each section of the Académie de Beaux-Arts. Catherine Meurisse, an artist whose path has been rich and open to life, but also tragic, knows that she will join women and men committed to supporting creation and defending our artistic heritage. As you will see in the following pages, our Compagnie makes full use of the means available to encourage the emergence of new talent while affording an ever wider public access to the magnificent works and sites in its care. And to salute the election of our young colleague, a future issue of the Lettre de l’Académie will be devoted to the teeming world of comics. Need one still say that it is an art in its own right, with its techniques and codes, its major trends and collectors and a considerable public: an art that has been shown in major exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou and elsewhere? It would be as ridiculous as wanting to engage in a defence and illustration of cinema.

When these Satires were shown to Pope at a late period of his poetical career, he was so sensible of their merit as to wish he had seen 1 them sooner . I doubt not that every reader who takes them up for the first time will be surprised that so much sterling good sense, such nervous language, and such masterly ver- sification should not have commanded more popularity. Yet nothing can be less true than Warton's remark, that Hall is better known as a poet than as a prelate or polemic. The Ser- mons and Meditations of the divine retained 1 Warburton told Warton, that in a copy of Hall's Satires in Pope's library, the whole first satire of the sixth book was corrected in the margin, or interlined in Pope's own hand ; and that Pope had written at the head of that satire optima satira.

  • SAMSON and HERCULES a Comparison Between the Feats of Samson and the Labours of Hercules by GARY G
    SAMSON AND HERCULES A comparison between the feats of Samson and the labours of Hercules by GARY G. CoHEN THIS fresh examination of the solar-myth theory of the Samson story, which was propounded at least as early as 1856, comes from the Professor of New Testament in Faith Theological Seminary, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. Dr. Cohen is the author of "Pilgrim's Progress in the Twentieth Century" (1968), "Understanding Revela­ tion" (1968), and "Biblical Separation Defended" (1966), and served as Coordinating Editor of Volume IJ of the "Encyclopedia of Christianity" ( 1968). I. THE PROBLEM IN this article we are concerned with the hypothesis which connects the Biblical hero Samson in one way or another with the Greek strongman Hercules. The hypothesis, Which is advocated or alluded to in many com­ mentaries is that either (1) one of the two accounts, i.e., Samson or Hercules, borrowed from the other, or (2) because of parallel­ isms, both show that strongman stories follow the same pattern in their mythological development. It has been suggested by some that since Samson's name is derived from Hebrew shemesh, which means "sun", the Samson account is a solar mytlh wherein the hero, the sun, fights the various animals in the heavenly Zodiac as the sun makes its yearly run. As a result of reading such suggestions from time to time, the author has been stimulated actually to look into t1he matter himself to see whether or not these claims are stated as accurately as is averred. Did Samson, like Hercules, perform exactly twelve labours? Is Samson a solar myth or a Hebrew version of the Hercules story? Here it might be valuable at the outset to state some sample observations Which have been made by various commentators in the past.

Introduction Né au Ve siècle avant notre ère au sein du discours médical hippocratique, le concept de la mélancolie connut une fortune extraordinaire dans les traditions médico-philosophique et littéraire occidentales durant les millénaires suivants, fortune qui ne s'est toujours pas démentie et dont témoignent force publications récentes.1 Si le concept a en effet évolué à travers le temps, recouvrant les ré- alités pathologiques différentes durant les périodes différentes, son pouvoir de fascination est resté le même, interrogeant le rapport que l'homme entretient avec la mort d'une part, et la créativité de l'autre.
