This thesis has been approved and accepted by: Date Committee in Charge: Dr. James Harper, Chair Dr. Lauren Kilroy Dr. Kate Mondloch Accepted by: Dean ofthe Graduate School III © 2009 Read Godard McFaddin IV An Abstract ofthe Thesis of Read Godard McFaddin for the degree of Master ofArts in the Department ofArt History to be taken June 2009 Title: MYSTICAL AND EVANGELICAL REFORM IN TINTORETTO'S SALA DELL'ALBERGO Tintoretto's four-painting Passion cycle in the Sala dell'Albergo ofthe Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice has generated dramatic and affective responses from artists and critics since its completion in the late 1560s. While scholars have addressed the cycle's formal qualities that stimulate such responses, the context surrounding the cycle has not been fully explored. The city was a refuge for reformers and the printing center for potentially heretical writing in the sixteenth century. Tintoretto maintained relationships to members ofthe reformist poligrafi, and the Passion cycle responds to the mystical theologies propagated in widely disseminated works from Ignatius ofLoyola's officially sanctioned treatise, Spiritual Exercises, to the more controversial work ofDon Benedetto and Marcantonio Flaminio, the Beneficio di Cristo.

  • «TINTORETTO IS VENICE, EVEN IF HE DOES NOT PAINT VENICE» Jean-Paul Sartre
    «TINTORETTO IS VENICE, EVEN IF HE DOES NOT PAINT VENICE» Jean-Paul Sartre The special project by the Pushkin Museum is devoted to the 500th anniversary of the great Venetian artist Jacopo Robusti, known as Tintoretto. The main protagonist of Tintoretto’s works is the space. Not just a site for an artwork created, but an infinite universe embodied in his painting. Tintoretto's approach is revolutionary for his times and close to contemporary media artists: the idea of immersion into the space comes to the fore in his art. The artists, who have created four installations at the San Fantin church, follow the same principle. The project by the Pushkin Museum also allows for the exploration of Venice by visiting places related to Tintoretto’s biography and art. As Pavel Muratov wrote: «There is no more worthy goal in the walks in Venice than the quest for Tintoretto. For this one needs to visit many churches, go around the whole city from Madonna dell’Orto to San Trovaso and from San Zaccaria to San Rocco; one also has to go by gondola to the church on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. But first one has to visit the two-storey building of beautiful early 16th-century architecture, called Scuola San Rocco». We offer three routes that embrace hallmark places related to Tintoretto and the key themes of his work. Partner of the Pushkin Technical With the assistance of Professional Museum XXI partner media partner 2 The Scuole Grandi represent an important page in «There was no other artist who would approach the topic of 1 the history of the Venetian Republic.

    Paolo Veronese’s Annunciations A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Jennifer A. Cantu May 2018 © 2018 Jennifer A. Cantu. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Paolo Veronese’s Annunciations by JENNIFER A. CANTU has been approved for the School of Art + Design and the College of Fine Arts by Marilyn Bradshaw Professor of Art History Matthew R. Shaftel Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT CANTU, JENNIFER A., M.A., May 2018, Art History Paolo Veronese’s Annunciations Director of Thesis: Marilyn Bradshaw Paolo Caliari (1528-88), known as Veronese, painted more than a dozen Annunciations and yet, while monographs on the artist provide an overview of his religious paintings, these works are given little attention. My thesis attempts to fill in this gap in the literature. Considering the importance of the Annunciation to Renaissance Venice, I examine Veronese’s numerous paintings of the subject, a number far greater than that of other Venetian artists of his time based on the extant Venetian works focusing on this theme. Creating a catalog of Veronese’s Annunciations, the first catalog to consider all these works in relation to each other, has been central to my research. Based on compilation of the catalog, I propose that Veronese’s Scuola dei Mercanti Annunciation of 1578 became a model for a significant number of Annunciations made by Veronese and his shop in the years following 1578. DEDICATION To my husband, Alex for his unwavering support and encouragement, and to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, whose life on earth begins with The Annunciation.

  • David Bowie's Tintoretto Photographic Credits Madrid © Real Academia De Bellas Artes De San Fernando: Fig
    David Bowie’s Tintoretto Angel Foretelling the Martyrdom of Saint Catherine of Alexandria Edited by Benjamin van Beneden and Nicola Jennings Preface Colnaghi has over the past 250 years sold many masterpieces to well-known clients on both sides of the Atlantic. One of these sales was Jacopo Tintoretto’s Angel Foretelling the Martyrdom of Saint Catherine of Alexandria which in the 1980s we sold to the legendary rock star David Bowie. When Bowie died early last year, the painting was auctioned along with the rest of his collection at Sotheby’s, London. In a remarkable twist of fate, the Tintoretto sold by Colnaghi was bought by a good friend and client of ours, who has now generously placed it on long-term loan at the Rubenshuis in Antwerp. We were delighted, then, when we were asked to collaborate with the Rubenshuis to produce a scholarly monograph on the work and its wider influence. Given the profound influence of Tintoretto and Venetian art on Rubens, Van Dyck, and many other Baroque artists from northern and southern Europe, the Angel Foretelling the Martyrdom of Saint Catherine of Alexandria is a work of considerable importance. It was commissioned by members of the Scuola di Santa Caterina for the Church of San Geminiano in the Piazza San Marco in Venice. Sadly this exquisite church, designed by Jacopo Sansovino, was destroyed under Napoleon. The catalogue includes articles not only on the altarpiece itself, but also on the church and on other painters including Rubens, Van Dyck, and Maerten de Vos whose work was influenced by Tintoretto.

    “THE CARRACCI AND VENICE: ANNIBALE CARRACCI’S STYLISTIC RESPONSE TO VENETIAN ART, AND THE INTERMEDIATE ROLES OF LUDOVICO AND AGOSTINO CARRACCI by Catherine E. Copp A thesis submitted to the Department of Art History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (May, 2014) Copyright © Catherine E. Copp, 2014 Abstract It has always been acknowledged that Venetian art was one of the components from which Annibale Carracci formed his painting style. There is little documentary evidence concerning Annibale’s career and no Venetian sources to inform us of his contact with Venice. Taking his art as the primary source, this study examines the timing and nature of Annibale’s contact with Venetian art and artists. It also investigates the works of his brother Agostino and his cousin Ludovico to discover their roles in directing Annibale towards Venetian art and communicating its qualities to him. The working method used is comparative analysis between Annibale’s art and key paintings he could have seen in Venice and North Italian collections. Sources such as the early biographies and the marginal comments in the Carracci’s copy of Vasari’s Vite supplement the primary artistic evidence. This study compiles and critically engages with analyses from previous scholarship. The thesis investigates the role of prints in the early orientation of the Carracci in Bologna, particularly those reproducing Titian’s work, and how these affected Annibale’s ideas about composition and the representation of figures and landscape. It reconsiders Agostino’s role as an engraver of Venetian paintings in transmitting ideas about Venetian art to Annibale.

  • Tintoretto 1 Tintoretto
    Tintoretto 1 Tintoretto Tintoretto Detail of a self-portrait Birth name Jacopo Comin Born 29 September 1518Venice, Republic of Venice, in present-day Italy Died 31 May 1594, aged 75Venice, Republic of Venice, in present-day Italy Nationality Venetian Field Painting Movement Italian Renaissance Tintoretto (September 29, 1518 – May 31, 1594), real name Jacopo Comin, was an Italian painter and a notable exponent of the Venetian Renaissance school. For his phenomenal energy in painting he was termed Il Furioso. His work is characterized by its muscular figures, dramatic gestures and bold use of perspective in the Mannerist style, while maintaining color and light typical of the Venetian School.[1] In his youth, Tintoretto was also known as Jacopo Robusti as his father had defended the gates of Padua in a rather robust way against the imperial troops during the War of the League of Cambrai (1509–1516). His real name "Comin" has only recently been discovered by Miguel Falomir, the curator of the Museo del Prado, Madrid, and was made public on the occasion of the retrospective of Tintoretto at the Prado in 2007. Comin translates to the spice cumin in the local language.[2] Tintoretto 2 Life The years of apprenticeship Tintoretto was born in Venice in 1518, as the eldest of 21 children. His father, Giovanni, was a dyer, or tintore; hence the son got the nickname of Tintoretto, little dyer, or dyer's boy, which is anglicized as Tintoret. The family originated from Brescia, in Lombardy, then part of the Republic of Venice. Older studies gave the Tuscan town of Lucca as the origin of the family.
