  • Incisioni, Richiestissime Da Un Mercato Molto Fiorente, Giunge Ora Una Rassegna Di Rilevante Interesse, Che Si Apre Oggi Alle 17 Nei Saloni Della Biblioteca Palatina
    Parmigianino e l’incisione <Padre dell'acquaforte italiana> l'ha definito Mary Pittaluga. E Giovanni Copertini ha specificato <Sebbene non si possa più considerare come l'inventore della tecnica dell'acquaforte, pure è da esserne stimato il creatore spirituale ché, con le sue stampe, ha insegnato agli artisti a trasfondere luce d'idealità in poche linee e in un tenue motivo di segni incrociati>. E' questo il lato meno noto del Parmigianino: incantevole pittore, straordinario disegnatore e anche abilissimo incisore; una caratteristica, quella di grafico, che nella grandiosa mostra allestita per celebrare il quinto centenario della nascita dell'artista passa un po' inosservata di fronte alla parata affascinante dei dipinti e dei disegni. Ad illuminare questo aspetto non secondario dell'attività del Parmigianino sia come autore diretto sia soprattutto come fornitore di disegni da trasformare in incisioni, richiestissime da un mercato molto fiorente, giunge ora una rassegna di rilevante interesse, che si apre oggi alle 17 nei saloni della Biblioteca Palatina (fino al 27 settembre) e che ha come titolo <Parmigianino tradotto. La fortuna di Francesco Mazzola nelle stampe di riproduzione tra il Cinquecento e l'Ottocento>. La correda un catalogo, pubblicato dalla Silvana Editoriale, comprendente la presentazione del direttore della Biblioteca Leonardo Farinelli, un approfondito saggio critico di Massimo Mussini e un'introduzione alle schede di Grazia Maria de Rubeis, responsabile del gabinetto delle stampe; il volume documenta tutte le incisioni <parmigianinesche> posseduta dalla Palatina, comprese quelle non esposte, cosicché assume un notevole valore scientifico in un settore ancora scarsamente esplorato con sistematicità. E' a Roma, dove si trasferisce nel 1524, che Francesco Mazzola entra nell'ambiente degli incisori fornendo disegni a Ugo da Carpi, considerato il padre della silografia, e a Jacopo Caraglio, incisore a bulino allievo di Marco Antonio Raimondi.

  • Following the Early Modern Engraver, 1480-1650 September 18, 2009-January 3, 2010
    The Brilliant Line: Following the Early Modern Engraver, 1480-1650 September 18, 2009-January 3, 2010 When the first engravings appeared in southern Germany around 1430, the incision of metal was still the domain of goldsmiths and other metalworkers who used burins and punches to incise armor, liturgical objects, and jewelry with designs. As paper became widely available in Europe, some of these craftsmen recorded their designs by printing them with ink onto paper. Thus the art of engraving was born. An engraver drives a burin, a metal tool with a lozenge-shaped tip, into a prepared copperplate, creating recessed grooves that will capture ink. After the plate is inked and its flat surfaces wiped clean, the copperplate is forced through a press against dampened paper. The ink, pulled from inside the lines, transfers onto the paper, printing the incised image in reverse. Engraving has a wholly linear visual language. Its lines are distinguished by their precision, clarity, and completeness, qualities which, when printed, result in vigorous and distinctly brilliant patterns of marks. Because lines once incised are very difficult to remove, engraving promotes both a systematic approach to the copperplate and the repetition of proven formulas for creating tone, volume, texture, and light. The history of the medium is therefore defined by the rapid development of a shared technical knowledge passed among artists dispersed across Renaissance and Baroque (Early Modern) Europe&mdash;from the Rhine region of Germany to Florence, Nuremberg, Venice, Rome, Antwerp, and Paris. While engravers relied on systems of line passed down through generations, their craft was not mechanical.

  • Che Si Conoscono Al Suo Già Detto Segno Vasari's Connoisseurship In
    Che si conoscono al suo già detto segno Vasari’s connoisseurship in the field of engravings Stefano Pierguidi The esteem in which Giorgio Vasari held prints and engravers has been hotly debated in recent criticism. In 1990, Evelina Borea suggested that the author of the Lives was basically interested in prints only with regard to the authors of the inventions and not to their material execution,1 and this theory has been embraced both by David Landau2 and Robert Getscher.3 More recently, Sharon Gregory has attempted to tone down this highly critical stance, arguing that in the life of Marcantonio Raimondi 'and other engravers of prints' inserted ex novo into the edition of 1568, which offers a genuine history of the art from Maso Finiguerra to Maarten van Heemskerck, Vasari focused on the artist who made the engravings and not on the inventor of those prints, acknowledging the status of the various Agostino Veneziano, Jacopo Caraglio and Enea Vico (among many others) as individual artists with a specific and recognizable style.4 In at least one case, that of the Martyrdom of St. Lawrence engraved by Raimondi after a drawing by Baccio Bandinelli, Vasari goes so far as to heap greater praise on the engraver, clearly distinguishing the technical skills of the former from those of the inventor: [...] So when Marcantonio, having heard the whole story, finished the plate he went before Baccio could find out about it to the Pope, who took infinite 1 Evelina Borea, 'Vasari e le stampe', Prospettiva, 57–60, 1990, 35. 2 David Landau, 'Artistic Experiment and the Collector’s Print – Italy', in David Landau and Peter Parshall, The Renaissance Print 1470 - 1550, New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1994, 284.

  • Presents the Chiaroscuro Woodcut in Renaissance Italy, the First Major Exhibition on the Subject in the United States
    (Image captions on page 8) (Los Angeles—April 26, 2018) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents The Chiaroscuro Woodcut in Renaissance Italy, the first major exhibition on the subject in the United States. Organized by LACMA in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, this groundbreaking show brings together some 100 rare and seldom-exhibited chiaroscuro woodcuts alongside related drawings, engravings, and sculpture, selected from 19 museum collections. With its accompanying scholarly catalogue, the exhibition explores the creative and technical history of this innovative, early color printmaking technique, offering the most comprehensive study on the remarkable art of the chiaroscuro woodcut. “LACMA has demonstrated a continued commitment to promoting and honoring the art of the print,” said LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director Michael Govan. “Los Angeles is renowned as a city that fosters technically innovative printmaking and dynamic collaborations between artists, printmakers, and master printers. This exhibition celebrates this spirit of invention and collaboration that the Renaissance chiaroscuro woodcut embodies, and aims to cast new light on and bring new appreciation to the remarkable achievements of their makers.” “Although highly prized by artists, collectors, and scholars since the Renaissance, the Italian chiaroscuro woodcut has remained one of the least understood techniques of early printmaking,” said Naoko Takahatake, curator of Prints and Drawings at LACMA and organizer of the exhibition.

Rosso Fiorentino Drawings, Prints and Decorative Arts consists of 117 objects, including 28 drawings by Rosso, 80 prints after his compositions, majolica and enamel platters, and tapestries made from his designs. On view through Jan. 3, 1988, the exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. Giovanni Battista di Jacopo (1494-1540), best known as Rosso Fiorentino, worked in Florence from 1513 until 1524, when he went to Rome. He left the city during the infamous Sack of Rome in 1527, wandering about Italy until 1530, when he went to France to work for King Francis I at Fontainebleau. Rosso began his career with a style modeled on the art of the Florentine Renaissance, but he is now seen as one of the founders of the anticlassical style called Mannerism. An intense and eccentric individual, Rosso was internationally famous in the 16th century while today he is most readily recognized for his work at Fontainebleau and for the great impact of his Italian style on French art.

  • Homage to Goltzius: Four Disgracers in One
    HOMAGE TO GOLTZIUS: FOUR DISGRACERS IN ONE Lawrence O. Goedde The Fralin Art Museum at the University of Virginia was recently given a drawing that is immediately recognizable as an adaptation of Hendrick Goltzius’s famous series of engravings, The Four Disgracers, of 1588. This artist apparently found in Goltzius’s demonstration of artistry both an inspiration and a challenge since he or she not only set about copying the four figures but also combined them into a single composition. The result is a work that reveals a clear determination to rival the virtuosity of the original; and to some degree it succeeds, creating a work in the spirit of Goltzius himself. DOI: 10.18277/makf.2015.02 he Fralin Art Museum at the University of Virginia was recently given a drawing (fig. 1) based on the work of Hendrick Goltzius that is immediately recognizable as an adaptation of Goltzius’s famous series of engravings The Four Disgracers, of 1588 (fig. 2).1 Displaying four figures tumbling through the air and seen from unusual Tangles, Goltzius’s prints, which are based on designs by Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem, demonstrate his artistic virtuosity in a variety of ways.2 Not only are the four figures depicted with their limbs splayed out, in poses requiring the use of extreme foreshortening, but each is also carefully composed within the circular field of a tondo format, enhancing the effect of twisting motion through space. The prints display Goltzius’s command of male anatomy in the convoluted poses, which on closer examination are basically the same pose seen from different angles.

This may be in part attributed to the lack of firm documentary evidence regarding his activities there and to the small corpus of works that survive from his Italian period, many of which are furthermore controversial. The present study focuses on Domenicos’ Roman years and questions the traditional notion that he was a spiritual painter who served the principles of the Counter Reformation. To support such a view I have looked critically at the Counter Reformation, which I consider more as an amalgam of diverse and competitive institutions and less as an austere movement that strangled the freedom of artistic expression. I contend, moreover, that Domenicos’ acquaintance with Cardinal Alessandro Farnese’s librarian, Fulvio Orsini, was seminal for the artist, not only because it brought him into closer contact with Rome’s most refined circles, but principally because it helped Domenicos to assume the persona of ‘pictor doctus’, the learned artist, following the example of another of Fulvio’s friends, Pirro Ligorio.

  • The Young Talent in Italy
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Jonckheere, Koenraad (Hrsg.): Michiel Coxcie, 1499 - 1592, and the giants of his age : [...on the occasion of the exhibition "Michiel Coxcie: the Flemish Raphael", M - Museum Leuven, 31 October 2013 - 23 February 2014], London 2013, S. 50-63 und 198-204 Eckhard Leuschner THE YOUNG TALENT IN ITALY 4U ichiel Coxcie appears to have been in Italy between about 1530 and a.539.1 With just two exceptions (see below), no contemporary archival documentation relating to this phase of his career has so far been published. Giorgio Vasari mentions that he met Coxcie in Rome in M1532,2 and the surviving paintings, drawings and prints indicate that that is where he spent almost all his time in Italy. As far as the art history of Rome in the Cinquecento is concerned, the 1530s may well be the least studied decade of the century. 3 That is partly due to the political events of the previous years, especially the Sack of Rome in 1527 and its aftermath. When the troops of Emperor Charles V stripped the city of its treasures and political importance, they also weakened the finances of local patrons and the demand for art in general. However, the onset of the Reformation in the North had made itself felt even before then, and the number of works of art commissioned and produced in Rome had been in decline since the early 1520s.4 Although the city ’s artistic life never came to a complete standstill (not even during or immediately after the sack), the scarcity of information on artists active in Rome around 1530 speaks for itself.
