ΚΝΙΞQUΑΊLΚΊΓΚΙΞ§ ΚΝ ΊΓΗΙΞ WORIΚ Of IΞJL GRIΞCO AND ΊΓΗΙΞΚR ΚΝΊΓΙΞRΙΡRΙΞΊΓΑΊΓΚΟΝ 175 by Nicos Hadjinicolaou In memoryof Stella Panagopoulos, whose presence at the lecture gave me great pleasure The organization of a series of lectures in honour of a distinguished l art critic could bring the invited art historians in the delicate or uncomfortable position of defining the limits proper to art criticism and art history, thus reviving a rather sterile paragon of the 20th century. If, in the debate about the primacy of sculpture or of painting, Vasari (out of conviction it seems and not for reasons of tactics) declared that the controversy was futile because both arts were equally based οη "d isegno", Ι am afraid that tod ay a similar proposition to remove the object of dissent between art criticism and art history by claiming tha.t both were equally based οη "artistic theory" would, unfortunately, be rejected as being tόta11y out of place. Reconciliation being, at least for the moment, impossible, an art historian might be allowed to stress what in his eyes is one of the advantages of art criticism over art history: that it takes a stand, that it takes risks, that it measures the relevance of a work for the present and for the immediate future. It goes without saying that an art critic also jud ges a contemporary work under the burden of his or her knowledge of the art of the past and of the literature written ab out it. Υ et, this does not change the fundamental fact that the appreciation of the work and the value judgements about its assumed "quality" or "validity as a statement" are elements insid e a perspective looking towards the future and not towards the past. -

The Madre Della Consolazione Icon in the British Museum: Post-Byzantine Painting, Painters and Society on Crete*
JAHRBUCH DER ÖSTERREICHISCHEN BYZANTINISTIK, 53. Band/2003, 239–255 © 2003 by Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Wien ANGELIKI LYMBEROPOULOU / BIRMINGHAM THE MADRE DELLA CONSOLAZIONE ICON IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM: POST-BYZANTINE PAINTING, PAINTERS AND SOCIETY ON CRETE* With two plates A small portable icon (350 × 270 mm), now in the British Museum, Department of Medieval and Later Antiquities (reg. No. 1994, 1–2, 6), depicts the Virgin and Child (fig. 1). It is painted on a single panel of pine wood, apparently without fabric between the ground and wood support. The icon was bequeathed by Guy Holford Dixon JP, who bought it from the Temple Gallery. A label on the back, attached when the icon was in the possession of the Temple Gallery, describes it as being Russian of the six- teenth century. In a preliminary Museum catalogue, however, the origin was given as Italy or Crete and the date as seventeenth century.1 The truth about the origin and the dating of the icon, as we shall see, lies in the mid- dle: I will argue that it is from Crete and of the sixteenth century. The Virgin is depicted half-length, holding the Christ-Child in her right arm while touching His left leg gently with her left hand. Her head is tilted towards the Child, although she does not look at Him. She wears a green garment and a purple maphorion on top, which bears pseudo-kufic decoration on the edges; decorative motives are also visible on the gar- ment’s collar and left sleeve. The maphorion is held together in front of the Virgin’s chest with a golden brooch, which apparently used to have decora- tion, now lost. -
Aspects of St Anna's Cult in Byzantium
ASPECTS OF ST ANNA’S CULT IN BYZANTIUM by EIRINI PANOU A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham January 2011 Acknowledgments It is said that a PhD is a lonely work. However, this thesis, like any other one, would not have become reality without the contribution of a number of individuals and institutions. First of all of my academical mother, Leslie Brubaker, whose constant support, guidance and encouragement accompanied me through all the years of research. Of the National Scholarship Foundation of Greece ( I.K.Y.) with its financial help for the greatest part of my postgraduate studies. Of my father George, my mother Angeliki and my bother Nick for their psychological and financial support, and of my friends in Greece (Lily Athanatou, Maria Sourlatzi, Kanela Oikonomaki, Maria Lemoni) for being by my side in all my years of absence. Special thanks should also be addressed to Mary Cunningham for her comments on an early draft of this thesis and for providing me with unpublished material of her work. I would like also to express my gratitude to Marka Tomic Djuric who allowed me to use unpublished photographic material from her doctoral thesis. Special thanks should also be addressed to Kanela Oikonomaki whose expertise in Medieval Greek smoothened the translation of a number of texts, my brother Nick Panou for polishing my English, and to my colleagues (Polyvios Konis, Frouke Schrijver and Vera Andriopoulou) and my friends in Birmingham (especially Jane Myhre Trejo and Ola Pawlik) for the wonderful time we have had all these years. -

This may be in part attributed to the lack of firm documentary evidence regarding his activities there and to the small corpus of works that survive from his Italian period, many of which are furthermore controversial. The present study focuses on Domenicos’ Roman years and questions the traditional notion that he was a spiritual painter who served the principles of the Counter Reformation. To support such a view I have looked critically at the Counter Reformation, which I consider more as an amalgam of diverse and competitive institutions and less as an austere movement that strangled the freedom of artistic expression. I contend, moreover, that Domenicos’ acquaintance with Cardinal Alessandro Farnese’s librarian, Fulvio Orsini, was seminal for the artist, not only because it brought him into closer contact with Rome’s most refined circles, but principally because it helped Domenicos to assume the persona of ‘pictor doctus’, the learned artist, following the example of another of Fulvio’s friends, Pirro Ligorio. -

The most popular Spanish painter of the early 17th Century, called by his contemporaries "The Divine", because of the religious intensity of his paintings. From the Renaissance he also frequently used sfumato modeling, and simple compositions, but combined them with Flemish style precision of details. His subjects included many devotional images, including the Virgin and Child. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ El Greco Self Portrait 1595-1600 Doménikos Theotokópoulos (1541 – 1614), most widely known as El Greco, was a painter, sculptor and architect of the Spanish Renaissance. El Greco was born in Crete, which was at that time part of the Republic of Venice, and the center of Post-Byzantine art. He trained and became a master within that tradition before traveling at age 26 to Venice, as other Greek artists had done. In 1570 he moved to Rome, where he opened a workshop and executed a series of works. During his stay in Italy, El Greco enriched his style with elements of Mannerism and of the Venetian Renaissance. In 1577, he moved to Toledo, Spain, where he lived and worked until his death. -

In 1874 Notre Dame’s founder, Rev. Edward Sorin, C.S.C., brought Vatican artist Luigi Gregori to campus. For the next seventeen years, Gregori beautified the school’s interiors––painting scenes on the interior of the Golden Dome and the Columbus murals within the Main Building, as well as creating murals and the Stations of the Cross for the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. In 1875 the Bishops Gallery and the Museum of Indian Antiquities opened in the Main Building. The Bishops Gallery featured sixty portraits of bishops painted by Gregori. In 1899 Rev. Edward W. J. -

Pompeo Batoni, John Wodehouse Oberlin Pompeo Batoni's Portrait of John Wodehouse In March, 1761, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo wrote Count Algarotti regarding sketches of his for a commission for S. Marco in Rome: 'You then do me the pleasure of sending me the news of Batoni's indulgence about the small sketches. ."' One wonders what Raphael Mengs, just finishing his Villa Albani ceiling, thought of Tiepolo's sketches. Three decades younger than Tiepolo, Mengs was now a famous painter whose opinion would have carried weight. Both Batoni (1708-1787) and Mengs were favored by the new Venetian pope, Clement XIII (whom they painted in 1760 and 1758 respectively), and by this pope's dis tinguished family; also, both artists at least indirectly can be connected with the Venetian church in Rome, S. -
