  • PRESS RELEASE from the FRICK COLLECTION
    ARCHIVED PRESS RELEASE from THE FRICK COLLECTION 1 EAST 70TH STREET • NEW YORK • NEW YORK 10021 • TELEPHONE (212) 288-0700 • FAX (212) 628-4417 PARMIGIANINO’S ANTEA: A BEAUTIFUL ARTIFICE January 29, 2008, through May1, 2008 Press Preview: Monday, January 28, 2008, 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. (Remarks at 10:15am) The Frick Collection, 1 East 70th Street, New York, NY 10021; RSVP: (212) 547-6844 This winter and spring Parmigianino’s hauntingly beautiful portrait of a young woman known as Antea (c.1531–34) will be on view in the United States for the first time in more than twenty years. Generously lent to The Frick Collection by the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, this painting is one of the most important portraits of the Italian Renaissance. Like Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Parmigianino’s Antea is a consummate example of a portrait with compelling psychological presence. The sitter’s penetrating gaze and naturalistic presentation suggest that we may be encountering a real person, yet the identity of this young woman is unknown. Many questions about the painting remain unanswered. Of these, the most persistent concerns the sitter’s identity. One of the earliest mentions of the painting, dating from the late seventeenth century, claims she is Antea, a famous Roman courtesan, and Parmigianino’s mistress; other theories suggest she is the daughter or servant Parmigianino (1503–1540), Antea, c.1531–34, oil on canvas, of the artist, a noble bride, or a member of an aristocratic family. Still others 136 x 86 cm, Museo di Capodimonte, Naples have suggested that the painting is an example of an “ideal beauty,” a popular genre of Renaissance female portraiture in which the beauty and virtue of the sitter were of paramount importance, rather than her identity.

  • The Poetry of Parmigianino's “Schiava Turca”
    Iconic Painting is Newly Interpreted and Comes to the U.S. for the First Time THE POETRY OF PARMIGIANINO’S “SCHIAVA TURCA” The Frick Collection, New York May 13 through July 20, 2014 Legion of Honor, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco July 26 through October 5, 2014 Francesco Mazzola (1503–1540), called Parmigianino after Parma, the Northern Italian city of his birth, was one of the most prolific and celebrated artists of the sixteenth century. Known as “Raphael reborn,” he mastered the arts of painting, drawing, and printmaking and was renowned for his portraits. Today his exquisite portrait of an unknown woman called the Schiava Turca (Turkish Slave) is an icon of Parma. The painting, which has rarely been seen outside its home institution, the Galleria Nazionale di Parma, travels to the United States for the first time for its presentation at The Frick Collection (and subsequently at the Legion of Honor, part of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco). The showing at the Frick marks the museum’s third collaboration with the Foundation for Italian Art & Culture (FIAC), a series of loans focused on the female portrait in the Renaissance. The collaboration previously featured Raphael’s La Fornarina (Rome, Parmigianino, Schiava Turca, c. 1531–34, oil on panel, Galleria Nazionale di Parma, photo: Scala/Art Resource, NY Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica, Palazzo Barberini) and Parmigianino’s Antea (Naples, Museo di Capodimonte). The Poetry of Parmigianino’s “Schiava Turca” will be accompanied by a catalogue and numerous public programs. The exhibition is curated by Aimee Ng, Research Associate at The Frick Collection and Lecturer in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University, and is organized by 1 The Frick Collection with the Foundation for Italian Art & Culture.

  • Van Dyck, Rubens, and the Status of Portraiture Adam Eaker Submitted
    Lore of the Studio: Van Dyck, Rubens, and the Status of Portraiture Adam Eaker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 ©2016 Adam Eaker All rights reserved ABSTRACT Lore of the Studio: Van Dyck, Rubens, and the Status of Portraiture Adam Eaker This dissertation offers a new interpretation of Anthony van Dyck’s art and career, taking as its point of departure a body of contemporary anecdotes, poems, and art theoretical texts that all responded to Van Dyck’s portrait sittings. It makes a decisive break with previous scholarship that explained Van Dyck’s focus on portraiture in terms of an intellectual deficit or a pathological fixation on status. Instead, I argue that throughout his career, Van Dyck consciously made the interaction between painter and sitter a central theme of his art. Offering an alternate account of Van Dyck’s relationship to Rubens as a young painter, the opening chapter examines Van Dyck’s initial decision to place portraiture at the heart of his production. I trace that decision to Van Dyck’s work on a series of history paintings that depict the binding of St. Sebastian, interpreted here as a programmatic statement on the part of a young artist with a deep commitment to life study and little interest in an emerging hierarchy of genres that deprecated portraiture. The second chapter surveys the portrait copies of both Rubens and Van Dyck, demonstrating that imitative and historicist investigations link their approaches to portraiture.

  • Lorenzo Lotto's Portraits of Women
    © COPYRIGHT by Amanda Chadbourne 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED LORENZO LOTTO’S PORTRAITS OF WOMEN: A CASE STUDY OF INNOVATIONS IN CINQUECENTO FEMALE PORTRAITURE BY Amanda Chadbourne ABSTRACT This thesis argues that the Cinquecento Venetian artist Lorenzo Lotto, inspired by the innovations in female portraiture of Leonardo da Vinci and Giorgione, sought to imbue single- sitter portraits of women with a higher level of individualism and personality, resulting in a sense of agency and autonomy not typical of other portraits of women in the period. Through a case study of Lotto’s Portrait of a Lady as Lucretia, with additional analysis of his Lucina Brembati and Laura da Pola portraits, I explore the ambiguity tied to gender and sexuality often present after the rise of new categories of female portraits, especially the new genre depicting mistresses and courtesans in sixteenth century Italy. Further, I propose an alternative identity for the sitter in the Lucretia portrait than the conventional one, which identifies her as a noblewoman named Lucrezia Pesaro. I argue rather that she is a cortigiana onesta, or honest courtesan, who adopted the pseudonym Lucrezia (the vernacular version of Lucretia) in order to convey humanistic learning and ironic wit concerning the theme of chastity in relation to her profession. Courtesans occupied an ambiguous place in Renaissance society; this could at times threaten to upset conventional gender roles in society. Part of my argument is that the artistic traditions of Venice and Northern Italy, along with the unique culture of courtesans in Venice, spurred Lotto’s ingenuity in crafting an ambivalent and multi-dimensional portrait that showcased his sitter’s identity in a novel way.
