  • Valmontone Conference on Mattia Preti
    Baroque Routes - 2014 / 15 5 Valmontone Conference on Mattia Preti A scholarly conference focused on the Cavaliere Calabrese, the artist Mattia Preti, was held on Monday 3 November 2014 at Palazzo Pamphilj in Valmontone, around 30 kilometres from Rome. Participants examined the status of research into this artist following the celebrations of the 400th centenary of his birth (1613-2013). The event was titled ‘Sotto la volta dell’aria. Mattia Preti: Approfondimenti e ricerche.’ This conference was organised by the International Institute for Baroque Studies at the University of Malta in association with the Soprintendenza PSAE del Lazio and the Comune di Valmontone. For this purpose an on-site scientific committee composed of Sante Guido, Dora Catalano of the Superintendence extensive decoration of eighteenth-century of the region, Monica Di Gregorio, director palaces throughout Europe. Allegorical figures of the museum of Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, representing the natural elements, such as Day, and Giuseppe Mantella, a leading restorer of Night, Dawn, as well as Love, Fortune and many Mattia’s Preti’s works, was set up.

  • Gaspard Dughet: Some Problems in the Connoisseurship of Chalk Drawings
    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: GASPARD DUGHET: SOME PROBLEMS IN THE CONNOISSEURSHIP OF CHALK DRAWINGS Sarah Beth Cantor, Master of Arts, 2005 Thesis directed by: Professor Anthony Colantuono Department of Art History and Archaeology Little scholarship has been devoted to the graphic oeuvre of Gaspard Dughet (1615-1675), a prominent landscape painter of the seventeenth century. A number of drawings in red and black chalk have been attributed to Dughet based on their connection to documented paintings. Stylistic comparisons with other examples of Dughet’s work as a draughtsman and technical evidence including medium and watermarks, however, reveal that a group of drawings given to the artist are, in fact, copies done in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. Although Dughet’s contributions are under appreciated today, his work influenced the next generation of landscape artists in Italy and abroad, including the British and many Dutch and Flemish artists who traveled to Italy. This thesis examines not only Dughet’s chalk drawings, but the graphic work of his most well-known Northern followers to determine which artist may have executed these copies.

  • Revision and Exploration German Landscape
    REVISION AND EXPLORATION GERMAN LANDSCAPE DEPICTION AND THEORY IN THE LATE 18TH CENTURY Ph.D. Thesis History of Art University College London Mark A. Cheetham June, 1982 THESIS ABSTRACT "Revision and Exploration: German Landscape Depiction and Theory in the Late Eighteenth Century" My thesis focuses on the work of German painters in Italy c.l770-1800, and addresses issues raised by their complex relationship with the 17th century Italianate landscape tradition. Jakob Philipp Hackert (1737-1807), Johann Christian Reinhart (1761-1847), and Joseph Anton Koch (1768- 1839) worked in Italy precisely because they considered them- selves to be thg inheritors of the 17th century landscape style of Claude, Dughet, Rosa, and Nicolas Poussin. But while the German paintings do resemble the earlier works, they also revise the 17th century programme of representing Ideal nature. They are more detailed and precise in their depiction of natural phenomena; they also represent natural events and sites not included in the traditional canon. Extrapolating from 18th century critical terminology, I have developed the term "particularity" to focus attention on this unprecedented attentiontt the details of nature. I argue that the late 18th century German landscapes revise the Italianate landscape tradition so that it embodies particularity, and that the impetus for this change comes from two contemporary sources: natural history -- especially the nascent sciences of geology and biology -- and art theory. My argument is divided into three sections. In the first, I establish the existence and visual characteristics of particu- larity first by contrasting 17th century versions of the famous cascades at Tivoli (by Claude, Dughet, and others) with depic- tions of the same site by late 18th century German artists, and second, by describing the new sites which were explored and depicted by Hackert, Reinhart, and Koch.

  • Britain's Political, Cultural & Industrial Revolutions: As Seen by Eighteenth
    Britain’s Political, Cultural & Industrial Revolutions: As Seen by Eighteenth-Century Observers and Later Historians By: Penelope J. Corfield, Prof. Emeritus ISECS Vice President Affiliation: Royal Holloway University of London and Newcastle University UK October 2013 © Penelope J. Corfield (2013) For publication in web-journal Current Research: Literature, Culture and Media (Syddansk University, Odense, Denmark, 2014): ISSN 1903 5705 and on PJC personal website www.penelopejcorfield.co.uk as Pdf31 This essay is expanded text of a seminar presentation with Powerpoint, given at the International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies Special Conference, hosted by Erasmus University, Rotterdam, on Wednesday 28 August 2013.1 1 With thanks for stimulating discussions from panel chair Annelien de Dijn, fellow panellist Hanca Jürgens, and all ISECS seminar participants; to Anne-Marie Mai for the invitation to publish; and to Tony Belton for his as-ever critical reading of the text. 1 Summary Using previously unknown evidence from contemporary onlookers (both famous and little-known), this essay identifies and classifies the major references to ‘Revolution’ in eighteenth-century Britain. At the start, the most common category of comments referred to abrupt political-regime change. The ‘Happy Revolution’ or what became later known as ‘the Glorious Revolution’ of 1688/9 was the prototype. This political terminology was revived in the 1770s, to denote, whether in praise or blame, the American colonists’ revolt and, after 1789, the massive upheavals in France. Alongside that, a much less well known strand of commentary referred to social and cultural change in terms of ‘revolution’ or ‘the world turned upside down’.

Exploring the effects of an elemental vortex, Snow Storm - Steam Boat off a Harbour’s Mouth (Tate), shows a swift suggestion of a steam-ferry in the heart of the composition. The vessel is heavily suffering under the rough weather conditions of a snowstorm at sea, which, by an eruption of swirls of paint onto the canvas, denies the viewer the possibility to fully survey the entire episode. Instead, the viewer is swept away into the vortex, leaving him nothing else but the terrifying sensation of mankind’s futility opposed to the tempestuous forces of nature.

    Ham House The Green Closet miniatures and cabinet pictures Ham House The Green Closet miniatures and cabinet pictures A HISTORIC HANG REVIVED The collection of miniatures at Ham House is one of the largest accumulations of miniatures by one family to have remained substantially intact. Its display with small paintings and other images in an early 17th-century picture closet is without surviving parallel in England. By 1990, however, almost all the pictures and miniatures were displayed elsewhere, and the original purpose of the Green Closet was no longer evident. The substantial restoration of the historic groupings on its walls, with the kind agreement of the Victoria & Albert Museum, has revived the spirit, and much of the appearance, of the traditional arrangement.
