  • The Neapolitan Treasury Chapel of San Gennaro and the Matter of Materials
    Beyond Mere Containment: The Neapolitan Treasury Chapel of San Gennaro and the Matter of Materials Helen Hills The grand and imposing Treasury Chapel, which truly can be called a treasure, both for what is kept there, and for what was spent on it.1 What are we to make of the Treasury Chapel of San Gennaro in Naples cathedral (Figs. 1-2)? Built and decorated largely between 1608 and 1770, it is the place where the miraculously liquefying blood of San Gennaro, Naples’ principal patron saint, is kept and was also the principal site of its liquefaction. The Treasury Chapel housed relics of Naples’ many protector saints of which there were as many as thirty-two by 1731, far more than anywhere else in Europe and probably more than anywhere else in the world. At the heart of the chapel was the miraculous blood of San Gennaro (Saint Januarius), Bishop of Benevento, beheaded as a Christian in 305 in Pozzuoli. An ampule of his blood, presciently gathered by a pious Neapolitan woman, when brought into contact with his head relic either miraculously liquefies to indicate that all is well, or fails to do so, auguring calamity. In either case, the sign is interpreted as an affirmation of San Gennaro’s heavenly intercession to protect Naples. We enter via the aisles of the cathedral, through the vast subdued architectural frame of the majestic bronze gate and suddenly the chapel presents itself to our gaze (Fig. 3).

  • Art and Politics at the Neapolitan Court of Ferrante I, 1458-1494
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: KING OF THE RENAISSANCE: ART AND POLITICS AT THE NEAPOLITAN COURT OF FERRANTE I, 1458-1494 Nicole Riesenberger, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Meredith J. Gill, Department of Art History and Archaeology In the second half of the fifteenth century, King Ferrante I of Naples (r. 1458-1494) dominated the political and cultural life of the Mediterranean world. His court was home to artists, writers, musicians, and ambassadors from England to Egypt and everywhere in between. Yet, despite its historical importance, Ferrante’s court has been neglected in the scholarship. This dissertation provides a long-overdue analysis of Ferrante’s artistic patronage and attempts to explicate the king’s specific role in the process of art production at the Neapolitan court, as well as the experiences of artists employed therein. By situating Ferrante and the material culture of his court within the broader discourse of Early Modern art history for the first time, my project broadens our understanding of the function of art in Early Modern Europe. I demonstrate that, contrary to traditional assumptions, King Ferrante was a sophisticated patron of the visual arts whose political circumstances and shifting alliances were the most influential factors contributing to his artistic patronage. Unlike his father, Alfonso the Magnanimous, whose court was dominated by artists and courtiers from Spain, France, and elsewhere, Ferrante differentiated himself as a truly Neapolitan king. Yet Ferrante’s court was by no means provincial. His residence, the Castel Nuovo in Naples, became the physical embodiment of his commercial and political network, revealing the accretion of local and foreign visual vocabularies that characterizes Neapolitan visual culture.

  • Metamorfosi Barocche Nelle Architetture Di Domenico Antonio Vaccaro
    Tra sacro e profano: metamorfosi barocche nelle architetture di Domenico Antonio Vaccaro Elena Manzo Tra sacro e profano: metamorfosi barocche nelle architetture di Domenico Antonio Vaccaro Riassunto Domenico Antonio Vaccaro (Napoli, 1678-1745) è, insieme a Ferdinando Sanfelice, il protago- nista della seconda stagione del barocco a Napoli. Entrambi allievi di Francesco Solimena, segnano, il primo, la svolta verso il rococò, il secondo il passaggio all’illuminismo neoclassico e, in sintonia con lo spirito che caratterizza l’ambiente artistico-culturale coevo, colui che dà corpo ai temi insiti negli ideali intellettuali del libertinaggio, sin dalle sue estrose invenzioni nel campo dell’effi mero, già sperimentate in età giovanile, fi no alle architetture ardite della ma- turità. Primogenito di Lorenzo (1655-1706), Domenico Antonio giunge tardi all’architettura, ma è subito professionalmente autonomo e si allinea alla produzione europea coeva, nel campo tanto dell’edilizia sacra, dove lavora per conto di ordini religiosi e di confraternite, quanto di quella residenziale. Versatile e poliedrico, negli anni trascorsi al fi anco di Solimena ne appren- de le tecniche cromatiche e alcuni dei principali temi, tra cui quello della metamorfosi, che in lui, però, perde qualunque signifi cato ideologico e diventa un tema dominante di tutta la sua opera. Between sacred and profane: Metamorphoses within the Baroque architecture of Domenico Antonio Vaccaro Abstract Domenico Antonio Vaccaro (Naples 1678-1745), along with Ferdinando Sanfelice, are the pro- tagonists of the second Baroque era in Naples. Both artists, disciples of Francesco Solimena, tended towards Rococo (Vaccaro) and the neoclassical Enlightenment (Sanfelice), and, in ac- cordance with the spirit that characterizes the contemporary artistic and cultural environment, they furnished the intellectual debauchery ideals since their fanciful inventions in the fi eld of temporary constructions, which they already experienced in youth, to the adventurous archi- tecture of their maturity.

  • Callisto Fine Arts
    CALLISTO FINE ARTS 17 Georgian House 10 Bury Street London SW1Y 6AA +44 (0)207 8397037 [email protected] www.callistoart.com Attributed to Lorenzo Vaccaro (Naples, 1655 – Torre del Greco, 1706) David and Moses Pair of bronzes, 34 cm Lorenzo Vaccaro was an important sculptor and decorator of the late seventeenth-century Naples. In his youth, he was an apprentice of Cosimo Fanzago (1591-1678) and Dionisio Lazzari (1617-1689), the most famous sculptor-architects in Naples at the time. However, he did not keep producing decorative sculpture subordinated to architecture, but he dedicated his career to more sober and monumental works. Lorenzo’s most noteworthy works are still housed by the most important ecclesiastical buildings in the city: the Duomo, the Church of S. Giovanni Maggiore, the Church of S. Maria delle Grazie at Caponapoli and in the Church of the Certosa di San Martino. He was also active as a modeller for silversmiths and worked in stucco and in bronze. Lorenzo Vaccaro’s chief inspiration during his career was the painter Francesco Solimena (1657- 1747), who was also one of his closest friends. Both of them sojourned for a period in Rome and were deeply influenced by the Baroque artists operating in the city and in particular by Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598-1680). Bernardo De Dominici’s Vite de’ Pittori, Scultori ed Architetti Napoletani (Naples, 1742) gives us a lot of information regarding their relationship and reminds that Vaccaro modelled groups to help Solimena in his paintings, while Solimena in exchange gave Lorenzo the bozzetti that he composed from them.

  • Superb Naples, a Journey Through Twenty-Seven Centuries of History and Culture
    4 JANUARY 2017 CATERINA POMINI 3858 SUPERB NAPLES, A JOURNEY THROUGH TWENTY-SEVEN CENTURIES OF HISTORY AND CULTURE Summarizing a city like Naples in just one article is quite challenging. Founded by the ancient Greeks in the 6th century BC, the capital of Campania is so old, large and filled with amazing sights that it's almost impossible to make a complete list of things to see and do. We did our best, so we hope that the information provided will help you enjoy your visit. A popular travel destination since the time of the Grand Tour of Europe, Naples is mainly synonymous with impressive archaeological treasures, superb architecture and mouth-watering food. Anarchic but breathtaking, Italy's third-largest city boasts a historic centre that is studded with Medieval, Baroque and Renaissance buildings and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. Furthermore, the capital of Campania is home to one of the oldest universities in the world ( University of Naples – Federico II), the artistic tradition of Capodimonte porcelain and numerous theatres where – during the Late Baroque period – opera seria and opera buffa had their origins. Certainly, at first glance, this city can look shabby and neglected; but if you look beyond the veneer, you will discover a place of unexpected charm and beauty. A (very) brief history of Naples Prior to becoming a Roman colony (326 BC), Naples had been a Greek settlement. According to legend, Greek sailors from Rhodes first established a small commercial port on the former island of Megaride, where Castel dell'Ovo now stands.

Each condemnation brings a different aspect of that genesis into focus. The four condemnations are 1) the Condemnation of 1277, 2) the condemnation of Meister Eckhart in 1328, 3) the condemnation and execution of Giordano Bruno in 1600, 4) the condemnation of Galileo Galilei in 1633.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: LYING with the SAINTS: HEAVENLY
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: LYING WITH THE SAINTS: HEAVENLY BODIES AND EARTHLY BODIES IN THE SUCCORPO OF SAN GENNARO Nicole Riesenberger, Master of Arts, 2011 Directed By: Professor Meredith J. Gill, Department of Art History and Archaeology In January 1497, when the powerful Carafa family translated the relics of San Gennaro, patron saint of Naples, to the city’s cathedral, a devastating plague that had ravished the region is said to have immediately ceased. The presence and miraculous power of the saint’s relics give meaning to the Succorpo, Cardinal Oliviero Carafa’s funerary chapel in the cathedral. This magnificent foundation serves two functions: first, it is the private funerary chapel of Carafa and select members of his family; second, it is the locus of the cult of San Gennaro himself. My thesis examines the chapel’s dual functions and explores the iconography of its decoration. I present new propositions regarding the architectural plan and artistic attributions of the chapel, and I provide a close reading of the portrait sculpture of Cardinal Carafa in the Succorpo, considering how its strategic placement informs our understanding of the program and its meaning.

  • Xxxiii Annual Congress U.A.E
    Napoli 28, 29 giugno 2019 XXXIII ANNUAL CONGRESS U.A.E. On 28-29 June 2019, the European Lawyers’ Union-Union des Avocats Européens (U.A.E.) will hold the XXXIII Annual Congress at the Rari Hall of the "Vittorio Emanuele III” National Library in the Royal Palace of Naples and at the "A . De Marsico” Library in Castel Capuano. Since the "High Culture" value of the Congress was recognized, the event is sponsored by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and the National Library, so the UAE will be allowed to carry out the event in the most important Rooms and Sections. The Congress will take place in the “Manoscritti and Rari Hall", while the lunch, with typical Neapolitan dishes, will be held in the "Palatina Hall" close to the "Pompeian Rooms" of the Royal Apartments, which are closed to the public. Quite exceptionally, upon reservation, the possibility of visiting the "Papiri Ercolanensi", of the "Fondo Aosta" Sections as well as the other rooms located on the second loor of the Library is granted. Pagina !1 Napoli 28, 29 giugno 2019 The National Library "Vittorio Emanuele III" of the Royal Palace of Naples The Manuscripts and Rare Section is located in the halls of the Royal Palace overlooking the Maschio Angioino and the gardens: back in the nineteenth century, those rooms housed the private apartment of the sovereigns. A signiLicant evidence of the original use of the rooms is the presence of the private chapel of the royals where the altar, the beautiful silver cruciLix and the partition with the panels depicting saints painted in 1858 by Vincenzo De Angelis are still preserved.
