The bustle and noise of Rome vanishes. The vast park, with its 100-year-old trees and rose- Wbeds, its romantic moss-covered fountain, the cypress-lined avenue and classical sculptures, encapsulates all the essential elements of the bygone Romantic era. It is, in fact, an ideal artists’ haven, dreamed up by a man of vision, culture and abundant wealth, who invested part of his fortune in creating the ideal environment where artists could develop in the city that he regarded as the epicentre of European classical art. The main building, the studios and the garden of the German Academy, constructed in the early years of the 20th century by Jewish coal baron Eduard Arnhold, has survived intact, weathering two wars and the onslaught of urban development, without ever deviating from the purpose for which it was built thanks to the foresight of its founder, who gifted it to the Prussian state in 1913 on condition that it would always be used for German artists. The director Joachim Blüher in the grounds of Villa Massimo, the German Academy in Rome. Pointing to the founder’s bust, positioned prominently on the Villa stair - way, Academy director Joachim Blüher explained that “Arnhold believed that everything. But the work just doesn’t get started and no-one will tell us why. an artist should receive what he merits but doesn’t normally get from life.” I can’t understand it.” A lifelong lover of Italy and classical culture, Arnhold purchased the Another pet project is to build a church at Olevano Romano, a village in 36,000-sqm plot off the Via Nomentana – at that time in open countryside – the hills some 60 km east of Rome, where the Academy has two properties: from the Massimo noble family (hence the name).

  • “Caravaggio's Roman Madonnas,” Presented in a Symposium Held In
    “Caravaggio’s Roman Madonnas,” presented in a symposium held in conjunction with The Age of Caravaggio exhibition, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, April 1, 1985 (click here for first page) 1 CARAVAGGIO’S ROMAN MADONNAS The Age of Caravaggio, Symposium, The Metropolitan Museum of Art April 1, 1985 I originally intended my talk this afternoon to serve two incidental purposes, in both of which I fear it is more or less a failure. By focusing on some of the major Roman altarpieces I thought I might compensate a little for their absence from the otherwise splendid exhibition we are celebrating; you will see that the result is rather badly out of focus. Secondly, I had planned to give a thumbnail sketch of a longer study I have been plotting for years on Caravaggio’s Mariolatry; but I was carried away just you might imagine, at the beginning; so you will hear perhaps too much about the first in the series, the Rest on the Flight to Egypt, and nothing at all about the last, the Madonna of the Rosary. The essence of what I have to say is very simple. We are abundantly familiar with the phenomenon of the artist coming to Rome from elsewhere and being overwhelmed by the grandeur of the city’s ancient monuments and the monumental achievements of the great masters of the High Renaissance. The same may certainly be said of Caravaggio, but I believe that he discovered something else in Rome, as well—the Church. That is what I really hope, or rather hoped before I failed, to convey this afternoon.

  • Tommaso Salini Revisited: Two New Attributions Aaron Thom
    Aaron Thom Tommaso Salini Revisited: Two New Attributions Aaron Thom otentially one of the most infamous and idiosyncratic figures from the Caravaggesque coterie, Tommaso Salini (c.1575–1625), also known as ‘Mao,’ is foremost remembered Pfor his bond with his biographer Baglione (1566–1643). It is paradoxical, therefore, that scholars have been far from certain about most of the canvases Salini painted, despite the personal anecdotes peppering his long career. In Baglione’s Lives of 1642, the author waxes lyrical about Salini composing works “with good taste and diligence,” and he credits Salini with being “the first person to place flowers and leaves in vases, with various whimsical and strange inventions.”1 Baglione was possibly biased considering the pair’s close friendship, for Caravaggio (1571–1610) described Salini as Baglione’s “guardian angel.”2 Numerous works have ambiguously carried Salini’s name over the years, and although he had a long career, only a few autograph paintings definitively attributed to him have been discovered. Recent scholarship has refocused connoisseurship on the artist and these contemporary endeavours are an excellent foundation upon which to build a corpus of well-founded attributions. However, the majority of pictures that have been attributed to Salini seem to contradict each other, as they are so dissimilar that they could not have been executed by one hand. Many of them have a contrived aesthetic and picturesque ambience that should not be dated to the first quarter of the seicento in Rome, as they are more sublime and indicative of artists working later in the century. Studies pertaining to Caravaggio and his followers are intrinsically linked to complex problems of attribution.

  • Rome’S Public Art: What’S New, Prospective and Strategies Maurizio Anastasi*
    1 2 Public Art Summit “Strategies for Urban Public Art” New York, 17-18 February, 2005 Rome’s Public Art: what’s new, prospective and strategies Maurizio Anastasi* 1. Premise Facing issues that interact with the socio cultural aspects deeply rooted in the cities history is speaking of Public Art in Italy and Rome. The city cannot be dissociated by its evident historic roots or by the cultural heritage on which the cities art is based upon. Indeed the role of architecture and urban planning, at the core of the territories development in the aftermath of the war, cannot be underestimated. Urban art together with the street art and it’s artists is a western overseas heritage, nevertheless it has now days become part of us and our daily life, changing the citizens approach to art. Paintings and sculptures overwhelm museums and invade the streets where people accept and identify art as an enrichment of their souls and the environment. Indeed Rome and its history have disseminated Public Art in the world, the commonplaces of the city show a citizens day to day approach to art. 2. Historic Public Art The roman citizen does not notice the art that surrounds him, unless pointed out. Historic Public Art present in the central streets of Rome such as classic obelisks, horse shape statues and fountains witness the bond between the artistic development and the urban development of the city which spreads innovation. Two excellent examples are the “Barcaccia” of Bernini and the “Quattro Fontane” of Borromini1. * Maurizio Anastasi, architect, head of Cultural Section of the Technic Office of Rome.
