  • 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). Fig 1 Naples Cathedral with the Treasury Chapel of San Gennaro. Detail from Paolo Petrini, Pianta ed alzata della città di Napoli (Naples, 1718).

  • 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.

    DATE: June 17, 2008 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE GETTY MUSEUM DEBUTS FIRST MAJOR EXHIBITION OF PORTRAIT BUSTS BY RENOWNED 17TH CENTURY SCULPTOR GIAN LORENZO BERNINI Celebrated sculptures from the Bargello, Palazzo Barberini, Galleria Borghese, and other prominent Italian collections will be on view for the first time in America Bernini and the Birth of Baroque Portrait Sculpture At the J. Paul Getty Museum, Getty Center August 5 – October 26, 2008 At the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa November 28, 2008 – March 8, 2009 Image courtesy of the Museo Nazionale del Bargello. Please see last page for full caption information. LOS ANGELES—Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598–1680) is widely acknowledged as the greatest Baroque sculptor for his monumental works such as Apollo and Daphne (1622–25) and the Ecstasy of St. Theresa (1647–52). His unparalleled talent as a portrait sculptor transformed the practice and earned him the patronage of the Catholic Church and nobility in 17th- century Rome, as well as important commissions from foreign rulers. Co-organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum and the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Bernini and the Birth of Baroque Portrait Sculpture is the first major exhibition of Bernini’s work in North America and the first ever comprehensive exhibition of the artist’s portrait busts. On view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center, August 5 through October 26, 2008, the special exhibition will also include Bernini’s portrait drawings, as well as portrait busts by other important sculptors in 17th-century Rome such as Francesco Mochi, François Duquesnoy, Giuliano Finelli, and Alessandro Algardi.

    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.

  • Sant Agostino
    (078/31) Sant’Agostino in Campo Marzio Sant'Agostino is an important 15th century minor basilica and parish church in the rione Sant'Eustachio, not far from Piazza Navona. It is one of the first Roman churches built during the Renaissance. The official title of the church is Sant'Agostino in Campo Marzio. The church and parish remain in the care of the Augustinian Friars. The dedication is to St Augustine of Hippo. [2] History: The convent of Sant’Agostino attached to the church was founded in 1286, when the Roman nobleman Egidio Lufredi donated some houses in the area to the Augustinian Friars (who used to be called "Hermits of St Augustine" or OESA). They were commissioned by him to erect a convent and church of their order on the site and, after gaining the consent of Pope Honorius IV, this was started. [2] Orders to build the new church came in 1296, from Pope Boniface VIII. Bishop Gerard of Sabina placed the foundation stone. Construction was to last nearly one and a half century. It was not completed until 1446, when it finally became possible to celebrate liturgical functions in it. [2] However, a proposed church for the new convent had to wait because of its proximity to the small ancient parish church of San Trifone in Posterula, dedicated to St Tryphon and located in the Via della Scrofa. It was a titular church, and also a Lenten station. In 1424 the relics of St Monica, the mother of St Augustine, were brought from Ostia and enshrined here as well.

  • Artists, Patrons, and Trust in Seventeenth-Century Naples: the Case of the Certosa Di San Martino
    Artists, Patrons, and Trust in Seventeenth-Century Naples: The Case of the Certosa di San Martino J. Nicholas Napoli Introduction In his 1739 essay on commerce, “Del Commercio del Regno di Napoli,” presented as a letter addressed to Don Francesco Ventura, the newly appointed President of the Magistrate of Commerce under Charles of Bourbon, Paolo Mattia Doria reflected on the city’s economic development during the period of Spanish viceregal rule and suggested possibilities for present- day and future reform. He argued that the regime fostered several practices in the civil life of the kingdom—including usurious rates of interest, the inconsistent registration and enforcement of loans and contracts, and the resultant lawsuits of hopeless complexity and interminable duration—that fed widespread distrust of commerce in the realm.1 For Doria, trust in each of these exchanges was critical in establishing and maintaining commerce, and ultimately rendered civil life possible.2 In Lezioni di economia civile, Doria defined trust as the reciprocal confidence of one citizen in another. In terms of commerce, it was the voluntary participation in economic exchange made possible by freedom and security of contracts.3 Doria developed his thinking about trust in the academic circles of late seventeenth- century Naples where the Accademia degli Investiganti and the Accademia Medina Coeli fostered intellectual exchange and allowed for the dissemination of the emerging philosophical trends in Europe.4 As a member of the Accademia Medina Coeli, Doria presented and listened to papers, or lezioni, alongside Giuseppe Valletta, Luc’Antonio Porzio, and younger members who would become the most prominent thinkers in the Neapolitan Enlightenment, including Niccolò 1 Paolo Mattia Doria, “Del Commercio del Regno di Napoli,” Il Pensiero Civile di Paolo Mattia Doria negli Scritti Inediti, 1739, edited by Enrico Vidal (Milan: A Giuffrè Editore, 1953), 178-79, 205.
