Although he is part of the classical tradition stemming from Raphael, he was not exempt from the influence of Baroque painting and particularly in his use of colour. His contemporary and friend, Giovanni Bellori, wrote an early biography on Maratta. • We provide hand painted reproductions of old master paintings.

Pietro Da Cortona in Nineteenth-Century Children's
The Painter and the Scullery Boy: Pietro da Cortona in Nineteenth-Century Children’s Literature* Lindsey Schneider Pietro Berrettini (1597-1669), called Pietro da Cortona, was one of the most influential artists in seventeenth-century Italy and was celebrated as the premier decorative painter of his generation, most notably for his ceiling in the Barberini Palace in Rome (1633-39). His reputation began to suffer soon after his death, however, due in large part to changing standards of taste that no longer tolerated the extravagances of the High Baroque style that he helped to develop and with which he is indelibly linked.1 In 1692 the director of the French Academy in Rome, Matthieu de La Teulière, reported back to Paris that, ‘Pietro da Cortona and his school have spread such great debauchery here, operating under the guise of virtuosity, *<+ giving everything over to the whims of their imaginations,’2 and made similar statements the following year, in which he charged Cortona, Bernini and Borromini with ruining the fine arts with their excess.3 This view endured over the ensuing centuries and the trope of the Baroque as a diseased and cancerous style – with Cortona as one of its prime vectors of transmission – became commonplace in art-theoretical literature. Nearly a century after La Teulière, Francesco Milizia vilified the same trio of artists, saying that Cortona, along with Borromini and Bernini, ‘represent a diseased taste – one that has infected a great number of artists’.4 In London around the same time, James Barry singled Cortona

Les Vite De Giovanni Pietro Bellori (1672) : Entre Valorisation Et Dispersion Du Patrimoine Vasarien
LES VITE DE GIOVANNI PIETRO BELLORI (1672) : ENTRE VALORISATION ET DISPERSION DU PATRIMOINE VASARIEN Ismène COTENSIN Dans la conclusion de 1568 des Vite, Giorgio Vasari s’adresse à ses confrères artistes et laisse entendre que des successeurs éventuels pourraient écrire la suite de son ouvrage : « chi scriverà il rimanente di questa istoria potrà farlo con più grandezza e maestà »1. Cette phrase révèle l’optimisme final qui anime la seconde édition des Vite : la confiance en un avenir glorieux pour les arts. Giovanni Pietro Bellori est l’un de ceux qui exauce le vœu de Giorgio Vasari. Figure centrale de la Rome artistique du XVIIe siècle, réputé pour son érudition et ses nombreuses publications sur les monnaies et les médailles antiques, Bellori a exercé plusieurs charges prestigieuses, dont celles de conservateur des Antiquités pour la cour papale, premier recteur de l’Académie de Saint-Luc, et antiquaire et gardien de la collection de médailles de la reine Christine de Suède. Bellori nous intéresse particulièrement parce qu’il est l’auteur du recueil de Vies d’artistes intitulé, Le Vite de’ pittori, scultori ed architetti moderni, publié à Rome en 1672, soit un siècle après l’édition Giuntina. Bellori entretient un rapport ambigu avec Vasari : dans l’Avis au lecteur, il affirme vouloir prendre ses distances avec Vasari et, dit-il, tous ceux qui ont fait un éloge exagéré des Florentins et des Toscans. En ne sélectionnant que douze artistes pour composer son recueil, Bellori rompt également avec la dimension presque encyclopédique des Vite de Vasari. Néanmoins, l’ouvrage de cet auteur romain reste empreint du paradigme établi un siècle plus tôt.

The Death of Cato (95-46 BC), Who Took His Life with a Sword
GIOVANNI PERUZZINI (ANCONA, 1629 - MILAN, 1694) Oil on canvas, 52 ³/₄ x 38 ³/₈ in (134 x 97.5 cm) England, private collection; 2015, France, private collection. Unpublished. Related work: Montargis, Musée Girodet, inv. 947.16: Giovanni Peruzzini, Saint Jerome, signed and 26 rue Laffitte, 75009 Paris Tel : + 33 1 40 22 61 71 e-mail : [email protected] http://www.canesso.art dated 1665 on the book. The ﬁne handling of our ﬁgure, with its energetic brushstrokes and enhanced by a generous use of impasto in the lighter tonalities, represents a vigorous example of the art of Giovanni Peruzzini, one of a family of artists from the Marches. Judging by his style, we may say that his work of the 1660s and 1670s sought to revive an emphatically chiaroscuro approach; even in the later seventeenth century he was not the sole artist to bring this back into fashion. Discreet touches of blood on the drapery and open book – the body appears miraculously spared – prompt us to identify the subject as the Death of Cato (95-46 BC), who took his life with a sword. The great-grandson of Cato the Elder, he was a Roman senator, a Stoic and a staunch defender of the Republic. He committed suicide in Utica (near what is now the northern coast of Tunisia) in 46 BC after the battle of Thapsus, which saw a decisive victory for the army of his bitter opponent Julius Caesar (100-44 BC). This was an ancient example of a noble death, that of the vanquished who does not wish to submit to the victor.

Diploma Lecture Series 2012 Absolutism to Enlightenment: European Art and Culture 1665-1765
Diploma Lecture Series 2012 Absolutism to enlightenment: European art and culture 1665-1765 Art in Rome after 1650 Christopher Allen 8 / 9 February 2012 Lecture summary: We are much more familiar with art in Rome in the first half of the seventeenth century than in the second: everyone knows the work of Caravaggio, Annibale Carracci and Bernini, and to a lesser extent that of Guido Reni, Domenichino and Pietro da Cortona. The two great French artists who dominate the field of painting in Rome around the mid-century, Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain, have never ceased to be celebrated. But the painters of the later decades remain shadowy figures – whether the academic Carlo Maratta or the Baroque decorators Baciccio and Andrea Pozzo. This obscurity reflects among other things the rise of France, enjoying a golden age of literature, art and philosophy under the reign of Louis XIV and imposing itself as the new cultural centre of Europe. The result, in Rome itself, is a polarization between artists who emulate the French model to a certain extent, and those who pursue an unbridled form of Baroque in the service of religious expression. After the death of Louis XIV and with the decline of French power, Rome would regain its position as pre-eminent capital of European art in the mid-eighteenth century, although increasingly as a centre of postgraduate study rather than of contemporary practice. Slide list: 1. Andrea Sacchi, La Divina Sapienza, 1629-33, Ceiling fresco; Rome, Palazzo Barberini. 2. Pietro da Cortona, The Triumph of Divine Providence, 1633-39, Fresco; Rome, Palazzo Barberini 3.

The Courtyard of Honour the Courtyard
The Courtyard of Honour The Courtyard of Honour of the Quirinale Palace appears to be a large arcaded piazza, unified and harmonious in shape, but it is in fact the result of four separate phases of construction which were carried out between the end of the 1500s and next century. The oldest and most easily distinguishable section forms the backdrop to the courtyard with the tower rising above it. This part of the palace was originally an isolated villa, whose construction was begun in 1583 by Pope Gregory XIII who wished to pass the hot Roman summers on the Quirinal Hill, a fresher and airier location than the Vatican. The architect who designed this first building was Ottaviano Mascarino, from Bologna. The next pope, Sixtus V, decided to enlarge the structure with a long wing running down the piazza and a second building directly in front of the older villa; Domenico Fontana was in charge of these projects. The palace and the Courtyard were completed under Pope Paul V by the architect Flaminio Ponzio, who designed the wing on the side of the gardens, and Carlo Maderno, who rebuilt the Sixtus V structure in order that it could accommodate larger and more solemn ceremonial spaces. The clock-tower was originally a simple viewing tower crowning the 16th Century villa. At the beginning of the 17th Century it was fitted with a clock and bell, and towards the end of that century a mosaic of the Madonna and Child was carried out, based on a design by Carlo Maratta. Above the tower fly the Italian and European flags as well as the presidential standard, which is lowered when the Head of State is not in Rome.

The Landscapes of Gaspard Dughet: Artistic Identity and Intellectual Formation in Seventeenth-Century Rome
ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE LANDSCAPES OF GASPARD DUGHET: ARTISTIC IDENTITY AND INTELLECTUAL FORMATION IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ROME Sarah Beth Cantor, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Professor Anthony Colantuono, Department of Art History and Archaeology The paintings of Gaspard Dughet (1615-1675), an artist whose work evokes the countryside around Rome, profoundly affected the representation of landscape until the early twentieth century. Despite his impact on the development of landscape painting, Dughet is recognized today as the brother-in-law of Nicolas Poussin rather than for his own contribution to the history of art. His paintings are generally classified as decorative works without subjects that embody no higher intellectual pursuits. This dissertation proposes that Dughet did, in fact, represent complex ideals and literary concepts within his paintings, engaging with the pastoral genre, ideas on spirituality expressed through landscape, and the examination of ancient Roman art. My study considers Dughet’s work in the context of seventeenth-century literature and antiquarian culture through a new reading of his paintings. I locate his work within the expanding discourse on the rhetorical nature of seventeenth-century art, exploring questions on the meaning and interpretation of landscape imagery in Rome. For artists and patrons in Italy, landscape painting was tied to notions of cultural identity and history, particularly for elite Roman families. Through a comprehensive examination of Dughet’s paintings and frescoes commissioned by noble families, this dissertation reveals the motivations and intentions of both the artist and his patrons. The dissertation addresses the correlation between Dughet’s paintings and the concept of the pastoral, the literary genre that began in ancient Greece and Rome and which became widely popular in the early seventeenth century.

Historiography Lesson 2-17Th C. Biographers
Historiography Lesson #2 Critiquing Primary Sources: 17 th century Art Theorists and Biographers November 27, 2007 Directions: 1. Divide into 4-5 groups. 2. Read through the biographies on this sheet individually. 3. Among your group members, share the seventeenth-century text provided; have each member read aloud a sentence or two. 4. In your groups, consider the following about the text: What kind of information is presented? How is it presented? Are there apparent biases or opinions? Why? How might this text this useful to historians and researchers? How might this text NOT be useful? 5. Report Out. Gian Pietro Bellori (also known as Giovanni Pietro Bellori or Giovan Pietro Bellori , (1613 - 1696) was a prominent biographer of the Italian Baroque artists of the seventeenth century. As an art historian, he was the Baroque equivalent of Giorgio Vasari. Born in Rome, he was considered by his contemporaries as the most authoritative witness of the artistic culture of his own time; modern art historiographers, on their part, claim that Bellori has played a predominant role in determining the character of art literature over a long period of time. In his texts the platonizing theory of art was given its ultimate formulation, thus achieving canonical status – a status that was to retain its currency at least up to the beginning of the 19th century. Bellori also contributed, by promoting the graphical documentation of the excavation objects, to anticipating the 17th century methodology of research, thus setting the example for modern archaeology. Around 1660, he began to write, with an European viewpoint, the seventeenth-century artists biographies, selecting those who, in his opinion, had better served the cause of classicictic tradition.

Amalia Mezzetti, Contributi a Carlo Maratti
CONTRIBUTI A CARLO MARATTI EGLETTO dalla storiografia artistica il Maratti non è stato mai; in bene o in male, N in un senso o nell'altro, si è sempre parlato di lui. Senza tuttavia che per questo gli studi sulla sua pittura facessero - almeno fino ai primi decenni di questo secolo - degli effettivi progressi i>. Alle oscillazioni del giudizio qualitativo dei posteri - spesso in singolare contrasto sia con l'indirizzo del pensiero estetico, sia con le correnti artistiche del tempo - si ag giunge, nella vicenda critica del Maratti, anche un singolarissimo spostamento di valuta zione storica: cosa che non credo si sia verificata per alcun altro artista; per cui gli accadde di essere considerato esponente, ad un tempo, di tendenze opposte, barocco per gli uni, classicheggiante e accademico per gli altri, e come tale ora biasimato ora lo dato: situazione questa che riflette l'incertezza di giudizio inevitabile di fronte ad una personalità così complessa, contraddittoria e sfuggente, che, con l'intellettualismo cri tico tipico del tempo, aveva cercato di accogliere e di conciliare in sé il passato e il presente, Raffaello e i Carracci, con il Lanfranco e Pietro da Cortona. Dopo il coro delle voci incondizionatamente esaltatrici dei contemporanei e dei posteri immediati, che dal Sacchi suo maestro 2> attraverso al Bellori 3>, al Titi, al Pa scoli, al Passeri 4>, giunge fino al Bottari e all'Algarotti 5>, basta che il gusto dominante si sia orientato verso i valori di quella restaurazione classica che si svolgeva dalle pre messe dell'idealismo belloriano, perché il Maratti, che a quell'idealismo si era diretta mente abbeverato e dal Bellori era stato salutato come salvatore della pittura, cominci a ricevere i primi appunti.

Carlo Maratti and the Barberini Family: Two Paintings for Churches in Palestrina
Carlo Maratti and the Barberini family: two paintings for churches in Palestrina by GIOVAN BATTISTA FIDANZA IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY, Palestrina, about 40 kilometres east of Rome, was the main town of an important principal- ity, which in 1630 was acquired by the Barberini family from Francesco Colonna.1 It is not widely known that Carlo Maratti (1625–1713) painted two altarpieces for churches in Palestrina. One, which has not survived, was for the high altar of S. Rosa- lia, the other for the church of the Annunciation. The first of Maratti’s biographers to mention the S. Rosalia painting was G.P. Bellori (1613–96), who accurately describes its subject, S. Rosalia interceding for victims of the plague in Palestrina. He also states that the painting was commissioned by Prince Maffeo Barberini (1631–85), whose palace was attached to the church of S. Rosalia, to fulfil a vow made by the town council during an outbreak of plague in 1656, when the people prayed to S. Rosalia of Palermo, known for her protection from epidemics. Bellori adds that the painting had already been moved to Palazzo Barberini in Rome and replaced with a copy by Francesco Reale, whom Bellori de- scribes as a pupil of Maratti. According to Bellori, this transfer was made for reasons of conservation, above all because the can- vas was in direct contact with the rock on which the church was built.2 Regarding the date of the painting, Bellori writes only that it was executed after the epidemic. Of Maratti’s other biographers, Francesco Saverio Baldi- nucci (1663–1738), writing around 1725–30, adds no useful in- formation about the date of the altarpiece.
