Bernini and the Practice of Physiognomy FAH 1288S Professor
Bernini and the Practice of Physiognomy FAH 1288S Professor E. Levy May 1, 2003 Wendy Walgate In regard to the concord and discord of the motions, we consider how two, three or four may be united together and expressed in the self same body, showing forth their vigor in the same face: which thing the best Painters both ancient and new have done. 1 - Paolo Giovanni Lomazzo, 1598 Introduction Seventeenth century painters and sculptors believed that the activities of the soul were physically impressed on the face, such that a trained viewer could read them. This was “physiognomy” and as its name suggests, it was accepted as science at the time, much like astrology. Humanistic interests of the Renaissance revived the Aristotelian concept of correlating facial traits with personality. 2 In addition, practitioners of physiognomic “science” believed that the face itself distinctly and truthfully mirrored a person’s soul. 3 As a contemporary of the painter Alberti, the humanist Guarino da Verona praised a painting of St. Jerome sent to him by Pisanello as “a wonderful example of your power and skill. The noble whiteness of his beard, the stern brow of his saintly countenance, simply to behold these is to have one’s mind drawn to higher things. 4 Renaissance theory urged artists to portray figural and facial expression so that the spectator might experience emotional inspiration by the physiognomic characterization. 5 In addition, handbooks of this period suggested that artists examine the emotional composition of subjects of different age, sex, rank and character. 6 Artists such as Bernini, attempted to interpret their subjects’ characters and personal dispositions to gain insight into their souls in order to represent them in art. -

© Copyright 2020 Karen Marie Lark Bernini’s Blessed Ludovica Albertoni: Drapery and the Permeability of the Body Karen Marie Lark A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2020 Committee: Estelle Lingo Stuart Lingo Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Art History University of Washington Abstract Bernini’s Blessed Ludovica Albertoni: Drapery and the Permeability of the Body Karen Marie Lark Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Estelle Lingo Department of Art History Gianlorenzo Bernini’s Blessed Ludovica Albertoni has remained a footnote at the end of the artist’s long life, with scholarly treatment conveying a deep-seated discomfort with the sculpture and its possible meanings. Scholars’ inability to adequately identify the narrative moment has been compounded by a lack of direct engagement with the Ludovica’s turbulent drapery, particularly in areas which raise questions of sensuality and the body. The present examination returns to the sculptural work itself, seeking to interpret the Ludovica’s drapery with the same intensity offered to treatments of the body, and to demonstrate the centrality of permeability to Bernini’s representation of the Ludovica. Through a series of folds in the center of the sculpture which create a “cavernous opening” between the beata’s legs, Bernini engages with concerns of interior and exterior, death, dissection, wounding, and gender. Connected to the side wound of Christ and vaginal imagery, the “cavernous opening” becomes a site of Eucharistic significance through Bernini’s deeply drilled and intentionally executed drapery folds. Rather than simply providing an acknowledgement of the Eucharistic rite taking place before it, Bernini’s altarpiece can be recognized as a visual enactment of permeability, suggesting the penetration of Christ’s body and the resulting outpouring of salvation. -

Katie Blake Dr. Hofrichter HA 651, Pratt Institute Fall 2011 The Elephant and Obelisk The Elephant and Obelisk is a monument situated in front of the Dominican church, Santa Maria sopra Minerva and near by the Pantheon. Dedicated under Pope Alexander VII to Divine Wisdom1, this monument has stood since its unveiling in 1667 at the center of a piazza largely unchanged these last many hundreds of years. The work remains underrepresented in scholarly examinations about its designer, Gian Lorzeno Bernini and his oeuvre. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the formation of this monument from its commission to completion using extant documents and by compilation of contemporary scholarly research with the understanding that this work is from a generation from which, “-religious art was assigned the task of rousing the mind from vision to visions.” 2 Much like his predecessors, Pope Alexander VII’s vision of Rome included many commissions of architecture, sculpture and art which changed the face of the city. Alexander wanted his pontificate to help restore some of the grandeur he believed had been lost since the height of the Roman Empire. He and his contemporaries are described as having concerns that, “Rome could no longer be seen in the very midst of Rome.”3 To rectify that concern, Alexander invested himself and the church’s treasury in a large-scale architectural program for the city of Rome, one which would allow buildings to be seen from their best advantage.4 His plan to accomplish this included the restructuring of church-fronting -

Dickerson III, Anthony Sigel, Ian Wardropper, and others Metropolitan Museum of Art/ Yale University Press, 416 pp., $65.00 In 1619, at the ripe age of twenty, Gian Lorenzo Bernini set himself the seemingly impossible challenge of carving the human soul in marble. Two souls, in fact: a blessed soul bound for Heaven and a wicked soul newly damned to Hell, the most insubstantial of beings portrayed in solid stone from the neck up. These two remarkable images, preserved since the seventeenth century in the Spanish embassy in Rome, recently provided the focus for a small but choice exhibition at the Museo del Prado in Madrid. -
