Johann Zoffany, Classical Art, Italy and Russian Patronage: Shedding New Light on Models, Men and Paintings
664 Anna Maria Ambrosini Massari УДК 7.034(410.1)8 ББК 85.03 DOI:10.18688/aa155-7-72 Anna Maria Ambrosini Massari Johann Zoffany, Classical Art, Italy and Russian Patronage: Shedding New Light on Models, Men and Paintings Antiquity was the great theme in European art and culture in the second half of the 18th century. Johann Zoffany’s (1733–1810) famous painting of theTribuna of the Uffizi (Royal Collections, UK, Ill. 112) made in Florence between 1772 and 1777, does not portray that room as it was, but sums up a number of classical models of paramount importance in the artistic and social education of any well-bred eighteenth-century European. The astonishing concentration of masterpieces in the Tribuna was a sum of the ideas of beauty selected from antiquity and the Renaissance, even if, considering the first, Rome was undoubtedly the place to go to discover and experience the antique in eighteenth-century Europe. Zoffany himself had discovered classical heritage while living in Rome, from 1750 to 1757 and being a pupil of Anton Raphael Mengs who was, together with Johann Joachim Winckelmann, the main testimonial of antiquity’s values and models. It was in Rome that Zoffany approached the composite community of Grand Tourists who probably showed him how much England was becoming the center of modern Europe and contributed to his decision to move there [8, p. 18] 1. Zoffany’s Classical education is very well shown by a painting he executed in 1753 — in Rome, or perhaps the reason for a short return to Germany — I’m pointing to the Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew (Regensburg, Museen der Stadt) [14, p. -

The Victorians: Art and Culture Transcript
The Victorians: Art and Culture Transcript Date: Monday, 4 October 2010 - 6:00PM Location: Museum of London The Victorians: Art and Culture Professor Richard J Evans FBA 4/10/2010 (1) Perhaps the most characteristic and certainly, subsequently, the most notorious apostle of Victorian culture was Dr Thomas Bowdler, editor ofThe Family Shakespeare, in Ten Volumes; in which nothing is added to the original text; but those words and expressions are omitted which cannot with propriety be read aloud in a family. The omissions were indeed striking. Derogatory references to clergymen are expunged, parts of the body are not referred to, the word "body" itself is generally replaced with the word "person", and immoral characters such as the prostitute Doll Tearsheet (2) in Henry IV Part II, a popular subject for illustrators like Thomas Rowlandson, disappear entirely. When it comes to Othello, a play in which adultery (a subject "unfortunately little suited for family reading", as Bowdler complained), is at the core of the plot, the self-appointed censor gave up the unequal struggle, praising the play as an admirable vehicle for teaching the Christian lesson that "adultery is a crime next to murder", but warning that if his version was not deemed suitable for family reading, it should be removed "from the parlour to the cabinet". Bowdler also produced a sanitized edition of Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, cutting out entirely the famous or notorious fourteenth and fifteenth chapters, with their savage and satirical attack on Christianity, and, as his nephew later noted, producing a text which "could no longer raise a blush on the cheek of modest innocence, nor plant a pang in the heart of the devoutest Christian". -

A Cosmopolitan Victorian in the Midlands: Regional Collecting and the Work of Sophie Anderson (1823-1903)
1 A Cosmopolitan Victorian in the Midlands: regional collecting and the work of Sophie Anderson (1823-1903) Kate Nichols Collections: Birmingham Museums Trust, The New Art Gallery Walsall, New Walk Museum and Art Gallery Leicester, Wolverhampton Art Gallery The Victorian artist Sophie Anderson lived and worked between France, America, England, and Italy. In 1871 she became one of the first living female artists to have art works purchased by a British public museum, but today her work is barely known. Five of the eight paintings by Anderson in public ownership in Britain are in the Midlands. This article provides the first sustained analysis of her work, and the histories of its collection and display in the region. Key words: women artists, Orientalism, classicism, children, collecting This article explores the work of one Victorian artist who happened to be a woman, and whose paintings have, since the 1880s, been housed predominantly in the Midlands. Sophie Anderson was a successful and well-known artist in the nineteenth century, but is barely known today; this is the first published article to substantially engage with more than one of her paintings. The five Anderson paintings in the Midlands span an eclectic range of subjects, and can be understood as one woman’s contributions to contemporary understandings of femininity, childhood, the classical past, an exoticised ‘Orient’, and the Southern Mediterranean. Anderson’s work both fits into and complicates the nineteenth- century limitations placed on her by her gender, and by the twentieth and twenty-first century conceptions of Victorian art and regionality. The appearance of Anderson’s work in Midlands collections from the 1880s onwards offers a concrete example of the ways in which women actively contributed to public culture in Victorian Britain – and far beyond London. -
Richard Cosway, RA and Maria Cosway
Richard Cosway, RA and Maria Cosway Richard Cosway, RA (5 November 1742 – 4 July 1821) was a leading English portrait painter of the Regency era, noted for his miniatures. He was a contemporary of John Smart, George Engleheart, William Wood, and Richard Crosse. His wife was the Italian-born painter Maria Cosway, a close friend of Thomas Jefferson. Cosway was born in Tiverton, Devon, the son of a schoolmaster. He was initially educated at Blundell's School but at the age of twelve he was allowed to travel to London to take lessons in painting. He won a prize from the Society of Artists in 1754 and by 1760 had established his own business. He exhibited his first works at the age of 20 in 1762 and was soon in demand. He was one of the first group of associate members of the Royal Academy, elected in August 1770, and was elected a full member the following March, on the casting vote of the academy's president, Sir Joshua Reynolds. He is included in Johan Zoffany's group portrait of the members of the academy (begun in 1771); a late addition to the composition, he was painted on an extra strip of canvas, attached to the right-hand side of the painting. Cosway painted the future King George IV in 1780 and was appointed Painter to the Prince of Wales in 1785—the only time this title was ever awarded. His subjects included the Prince's first wife, Maria Anne Fitzherbert, and various English and French aristocrats, including Madame du Barry, mistress of King Louis XV of France. -
Maria Cosway (1760-1838)
MARIA COSWAY (1760-1838) By: Hillory Bingham Maria Louisa Catherine Cecilia Cosway, Baroness Cosway in the nobility of the Austrian empire (1760–1838) by Valentine Green, pubd 1787 (after self-portrait) Early Life ◦ Maria Louisa Catherine Cecilia Hadfield was born in Florence, Italy on July 17, 1760 to Charles Hadfield and Isabella Pocock. ◦ Cosway had four older siblings, which she and her parents claimed were smothered by a Catholic nursemaid and murdered before they could be baptized into the Protestant faith. ◦ She cited this traumatic experience as the cause for her emotional development as a woman and mother. ◦ Her early life entailed a lot of traveling through Italy, meeting highly respected artists and enjoying extended stays with the Banks family in Rome. ◦ Her father’s death in 1776 led the family to move to England in 1779. Adult Life ◦ After moving to England in 1779, Cosway and her family quickly blew through the money that had been left by her father, and Maria eventually married artist Richard Cosway on January 18, 1781. ◦ The Cosways thrived both socially and artistically in the 1780s ◦ From 1781 to 1789, Cosway distanced herself from copy painting and began to exhibit her historical and “in- character” paintings at the Royal Academy. ◦ This new style of art was heavily influenced by other artists such as Angelica Kauffman, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and Henry Fuseli. ◦ Cosway met Thomas Jefferson in Paris in 1786, and they stayed in contact until Cosway’s death in 1838. ◦ On May 4, 1790, Cosway gave birth to her daughter, Louisa Paolina Angelica. ◦ On July 29, 1796, Louisa died of a fever, and both Richard and Maria Cosway were devastated.
