PREFACE The essays presented in the following pages are the prod- uct of no hasty thought. I am grateful to the kind friends who have encouraged their publication, and to the publishers for giving them so attractive a form. The choice of illustrations has been difficult. It has seemed best, however, to reproduce in full the little-known sketches of Bernini showing the development, in his mind, of the design for the Piazza of St. Peter's, and the sculptor's models wrought by his own hands. For the rest I have thought that it would be more serviceable for the reader to have a few typical examples illustrating the main points of the text rather than a larger, and perhaps more confusing, selection of subjects from the almost inexhaustible wealth of available material. I am under deep obligation for the gen- erous permission to include among the illustrations material in the Brandegee Collection (at Faulkner Farm, Brookline, Massachusetts) hitherto unpublished. The heliotype plates were prepared and printed under the direction of Mr. William C. Ramsay, of Boston. RICHARD NORTON. London, July, 1914. CONTENTS BERNINI I. An Estimate of Bernini 3 II.

AN ESTIMATE OF BERNINI During the last hundred years there has come a great change in the feeling of naost people towards the art of the different epochs of the Renaissance. Whereas our grand- fathers and our great-grandfathers held Carracci and Guido and others of the same time in high esteem, we are now .taught that these later men are of little value or interest in comparison with the artists of the fifteenth century, and even the most halting and stuttering " Primitive " is held of more worth than the more able masters of the seventeenth century. This change is natural enough, but betokens a lack of true understanding of the purpose and powers of the fine arts. The altered mental attitude in religious matters which ren- ders most people incapable of feeling the appeal of the mystical fervour of the seventeenth century explains in a measiire why the earlier work is preferred ; and added to this is the effect of the development of archaeological training which has given rise to an interest in the mere search for origins — search that has done infinite harm in blinding the eyes of students to the fact that, for the world at large, it is far more important to see whither life is carrying us than from what slow, groping, and inexplicable protoplasm and haphazard chance it sprung. The teachers of our universities go on in their dull round, like Dervishes, repeating that the Par- 3 ; 4 STUDIES thenon was the most perfect expression of Greek art, and there are those who cannot see the beauty of the silver vases from Boscoreale because they choose to call them Roman. With- out doubt there are many sound reasons for the purely ar- chaeological study of classic art, and recently a small but per- ceptive band of scholars has raised Roman art from the ignorant neglect into which it had fallen and given it the proper position due to any such able expression of great ideas this justifies the hope that the worth of the later Italian schools will become once more manifest, not again to be for- gotten.

  • The Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2016: an Ineffective Remedy for Returning Nazi-Looted Art
    THE HOLOCAUST EXPROPRIATED ART RECOVERY ACT OF 2016: AN INEFFECTIVE REMEDY FOR RETURNING NAZI-LOOTED ART SOFFIA H. KUEHNER GRAY* During World War II, the Third Reich engineered the “greatest art theft in history,” stealing over 650,000 works of art from across Europe. Nearly a century later, many of these works are still missing or have yet to be reunited with their prewar owners. Despite substantial efforts to both facilitate and expedite the restitution process, it still remains relatively difficult for individuals to reclaim art stolen from their families by the Na- zis during the war. This Note first examines the processes through which countries—in particular, the United States—have handled art restitution. This Note then analyzes the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act (“HEAR”) and its potential effectiveness in providing a suitable remedy to the victims of the Nazi art theft. Ultimately, this Note suggests several modifications to HEAR so that it provides an effective remedy to the victims while still pro- tecting the interests of good-faith purchasers.

At 10 Oclock a.m. I started for Mr. Schutte’s silver mine of Orcopampa, my party was rather numerous; it consisted of course of myself on mule back with a led beast for change, the muleteer Delgado, his lad Mateo, both mounted, an Indian guide on foot named Condor, and seven mules laden with various articles for the mine as well as some provisions for myself, two or three fowls, half a sheep, potatoes, bread, salt, and sugar, also some sperm candles, and a metal candlestick. The mules carried each a load from eight to nine arrobes, besides four arrobes the weight of the gear and trappings. I may as well say en passant that I carried the above various articles of food because I had been assured that on this route I should find few eatables. I, accustomed to the ways and habits of the Sierra, saw nothing particular in the costume of my companion, nevertheless I will describe it, the muleteers wore ordinary woollen trowsers, and jackets, a woollen poncho over the shoulders, Chilian boots to the legs, shoes to their feet, but with only a single spur, on the principle that if one side of the animal moved the other could not be left behind; their head covering was a Guayaquil straw hat, underneath it Delgado wore a woollen cap, also round his neck a piece [_] jerga, for the purpose of blind folding his beasts when loading [_] a second piece round his waist the two ends of which [_] [3] and preserved his trowsers.

  • Motion As Lust in Bernini's Apollo and Daphne
    Motion as Lust in Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne BY DANIEL WHITTEN The artists of the Renaissance era faced a very delicate challenge in the interpretation of classical myths, as this required the interpreter to be faithful to both pagan literature and Christian orthodoxy. Specifically, these authors sought to reconcile the seeds of Christian morality within pagan works with both the original context and the truth of revealed religion. Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Italian artist and architect, follows this tradition in his sculptural adaptation of Ovid’s “Apollo and Daphne.”1 Bernini juxtaposes the concepts of motion and stability in the sculpture to convey the unstable nature of lust compared with the solidity of love. From a standpoint steeped in a Christian tradition that associates motion with lust and has a tradition of moralizing interpretations of Ovid, Bernini emphasizes the moralizing aspects of the myth; he implies a Christianized chronology of events both before and after the moment he sculpts. This portrayal aligns well with the ecclesiastical position of his patron, Cardinal Borghese, and earns a moralizing epitaph from the future Pope Urban VIII. The association of lust with motion is deeply rooted in the Christian theological tradition. This theology sees lust as the impetus for unhealthy motion within the soul and body of the sinner. St. Augustine writes, “And this lust not only takes possession of the whole body and outward members, but also makes itself felt within, and moves the whole man with a 1 See appendix, fig. 1, fig. 2. Valley Humanities Review Spring 2014 1 passion in which mental emotion is mingled with bodily appetite.”2 Dante interprets this view vividly in the Inferno, where “the carnal sinners, who subject reason to lust” are punished.
