  • The History of Painting in Italy, Vol. V
    The History Of Painting In Italy, Vol. V By Luigi Antonio Lanzi HISTORY OF PAINTING IN UPPER ITALY. BOOK III. BOLOGNESE SCHOOL. During the progress of the present work, it has been observed that the fame of the art, in common with that of letters and of arms, has been transferred from place to place; and that wherever it fixed its seat, its influence tended to the perfection of some branch of painting, which by preceding artists had been less studied, or less understood. Towards the close of the sixteenth century, indeed, there seemed not to be left in nature, any kind of beauty, in its outward forms or aspect, that had not been admired and represented by some great master; insomuch that the artist, however ambitious, was compelled, as an imitator of nature, to become, likewise, an imitator of the best masters; while the discovery of new styles depended upon a more or less skilful combination of the old. Thus the sole career that remained open for the display of human genius was that of imitation; as it appeared impossible to design figures more masterly than those of Bonarruoti or Da Vinci, to express them with more grace than Raffaello, with more animated colours than those of Titian, with more lively motions than those of Tintoretto, or to give them a richer drapery and ornaments than Paul Veronese; to present them to the eye at every degree of distance, and in perspective, with more art, more fulness, and more enchanting power than fell to the genius of Coreggio. Accordingly the path of imitation was at that time pursued by every school, though with very little method.

  • Per Una Bibliografia Illustrata Dei Ritratti Di Giambattista Marino
    ———————————— ACME – Annali della Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia dell’Università degli Studi di Milano LXIII – I – Gennaio-Aprile 2010 http://www.ledonline.it/acme PER UNA BIBLIOGRAFIA ILLUSTRATA DEI RITRATTI DI GIAMBATTISTA MARINO Effigiem ne posce animi, sat corporis esto: non illam parvo clausit Apollo libro. «Di me in Roma sono stati fatti mille ritratti, ma pochi, al mio parere, han- no colpito» (L 359): di questa lapidaria affermazione del Marino impressionano almeno due elementi: in primo luogo, un aspetto quantitativo, utile a immagi- nare il proliferare di questi ritratti; poi, un aspetto qualitativo, per cui, dietro alla capziosa attenzione del Marino per la diffusione e la ricezione della propria immagine, si cela la vanagloria dello scrittore immerso in una calibrata politica di autopromozione intellettuale e accademica. Questa dimensione, per dir così, strumentale della ritrattistica mariniana, non di rado sollevata sul piedistallo dell’autorità di artisti di grido, colloca il ritratto stesso in una posizione dominante nella formazione del fenomeno-Ma- rino, il quale, va ricordato, collocherà se stesso tra gli illustri del suo tempo pro- prio strumentalizzando l’autopoetabilità dei ritratti di sé nella Galeria. La rassegna che si presenterà nelle pagine seguenti seguirà dunque una scansione classificatoria basata sulla presenza letteraria dei ritratti riferiti: da quelli presenti nella Galeria e identificabili (1-3) a quelli versificati ma non iden- tificabili (4-7), dai ritratti non messi in versi dal Marino ma oggi noti (8-12), si- no a quelli assenti in trasposizioni poetiche e, per di più, ormai perduti (13-14). Il tutto tenendo conto che non pochi ritratti sono ancora al centro di dibattiti attributivi o almeno presentano ombre di paternità, su cui si daranno indicazio- ni e orientamenti.

    anticSwiss 02/10/2021 13:24:33 http://www.anticswiss.com Luigi Amidani (1591-1629), Holy Family with S. Giovannino FOR SALE ANTIQUE DEALER Period: 17° secolo -1600 Ars Antiqua srl Milano Style: Alta epoca +39 02 29529057 393664680856 Height:32cm Width:26cm Material:Olio su tavola Price:3600€ DETAILED DESCRIPTION: Luigi Amidani (Parma, 1591 - 1629) Holy Family with Saint John Oil on wood, 32 x 26 cm The work in question depicts the Holy Family with the Virgin holding the baby Jesus while he is playing with Saint John handing him the Cross, while Saint Joseph remains aloof on the background of an elaborate woodland landscape. Of great intensity and humanity are the two children who play tenderly together, while the parents assist by paying attention to their little son. The panel shows Luigi Amidani (Parma, 1591 - 1629), a relative of the painter Giulio Cesare Amidani, in the hand of a painter active in the workshop of Bartolomeo Schedoni (Modena, 1578 - Parma, 1615) and very close to his ways in the realization of the Madonnas. , best known to eighteenth-century critics and confused with Luigi until the last century, when his figure as a painter became clear. Luigi continuously studies Schedoni's Madonnas (see the Coronation of the Virgin in the Private Collection), starting with his pupil with the artist in 1607. Together the two Emilians also work on the decoration of the nine chapels in the abbey of Fontevivo, of which only three paintings by Schedoni remain (San Pietro, San Paolo and San Sebastiano, Museo di Capodimonte) and a couple of Amidani still preserved in Naples.

    AN ORMOLU-MOUNTED MAHOGANY SECRÉTAIRE IN THE MANNER OF S. JAMAR H: 53 in / 135 cm | W: 29 in / 73 cm | D: 17.5 in / 44 cm An Ormolu-Mounted Mahogany Secrétaire In the manner of S. Jamar The Central Panel Inset with A Rare Hand-Painted Porcelain Plaque On Vienna Porcelain After the original by Franceschini Constructed from the finest flamed Cuban Mahogany and dressed with cast and fire-gilt bronze mounts, the fall- front secretaire posed on a rectangular plinth and supported on two columns with an open-arched backboard beneath a single lockable frieze drawer, the central door set with a central hand-painted porcelain plaque depicting Venus and Cupid within an ormolu border and flanked by fluted solid bronze Corinthian columns with acanthus leaf capitals; the hinged panel opening en abattant and incorporating a gilt-tooled leather writing surface as well as an arrangement of pigeon holes and six drawers with fine bronze rosette handles; the cabinet surmounted with a fine Carrara marble top finished with an ormolu three-quarter gallery. The plaque inscribed to the back "Copy from a Picture by Franceschini / in the Collection of Count Czernin in […]/ in Vienna Porcelain." English, Circa 1820 Literature: A few London cabinetmakers active during the first half of the 19th century could have been responsible for this cabinet combining the height of French design with the quality of English craftsmanship. However, it is the work of S. Jamar, based from Wardour St and Gerrard St in Soho, which comes closest to the present flamed mahogany secretaire. In an advertisement dated 1818, Jamar claimed his furniture manufactured in London in the French taste was "equal to any made in Paris," employing similar techniques and materials.

  • Palazzo Della Cultura Della Memoria Storica E
    Villa Altieri in the XVII and XVIII centuries The construction of the villa dates back to the Seventies years of the XVIIth century, by the will of Cardinal Paluzzo Altieri, nephew of Pope Clement X (1670-1676). He commissioned the building to the architect Giovanni Antonio De Rossi, who also designed the “Palazzo Altieri al Gesù”, the urban palace of the family. This new suburban residence was located within a large estate on the site of a rustic farmhouse. The noble “Casino of delights”, was ap- proached by a monumental portal with long driveway on the via Felice (now S. Croce in Gerusalemme) and constituted only a small part, the pars urbana , of a vast area, which was originally surroun- ded by parks and gardens with fountains, tree-lined streets, vineyards and orchards ( pars rustica ), and accompanied by a wonderful laby- COMMISSARIO STRAORDINARIO rinth of boxwood hedges, still visible in the early XXth century.

Cecco del Caravaggio (active c. 1610 – mid-1620s), now known as Francesco Buoneri, is one of several artists who painted in the style of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Giulio Mancini in Considerazioni sulla Pittura, mentions a 'Francesco detto Cecco del Caravaggio' as one of the great master's more noteworthy followers. During analyzing the painting (the analytical light, IR, X- ray, UV, cross- sections, SEM-EDS, XRF, GC-MS, FTIR), it turned out that the artist made corrections to the composition, including the most important, changing theme of the painting. X-ray images show that under the figure of the saint there is an image of Christ at the column. Examinations show that the pigments used by the Cecco were typical 17th century earth-based pigments and similar to Caravaggio palette. A very interesting part about the palette of the Caravaggisti is the use of white: they used calcium carbonate or chalk as an extender to lead white. The research on Cecco del Caravaggio painting technique was conducted as part of an exploratory project: Technique and technology of caravaggisti paintings based on polish museum collections.
