  • Prints from Private Collections in New England, 9 June – 10 September 1939, No
    Bernardo Bellotto (Venice 1721 - Warsaw 1780) The Courtyard of the Fortress of Königstein with the Magdalenenburg oil on canvas 49.7 x 80.3 cm (19 ⁵/ x 31 ⁵/ inches) Bernardo Bellotto was the nephew of the celebrated Venetian view painter Canaletto, whose studio he entered around 1735. He so thoroughly assimilated the older painter’s methods and style that the problem of attributing certain works to one painter or the other continues to the present day. Bellotto’s youthful paintings exhibit a high standard of execution and handling, however, by about 1740 the intense effects of light, shade, and color in his works anticipate his distinctive mature style and eventual divergence from the manner of his teacher. His first incontestable works are those he created during his Italian travels in the 1740s. In the period 1743-47 Bellotto traveled throughout Italy, first in central Italy and later in Lombardy, Piedmont, and Verona. For many, the Italian veduteare among his finest works, but it was in the north of Europe that he enjoyed his greatest success and forged his reputation. In July 1747, in response to an official invitation from the court of Dresden, Bellotto left Venice forever. From the moment of his arrival in the Saxon capital, he was engaged in the service of Augustus III, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony, and of his powerful prime minister, Count Heinrich von Brühl. In 1748 the title of Court Painter was officially conferred on the artist, and his annual salary was the highest ever paid by the king to a painter.

Hults It is we women, said Leonora, who lighten men’s burden of worries. When we take charge of household affairs. , we take over a part of their work, overseeing the whole household. And it’s certainly true that a man can never really find true domestic contentment and harmony without the fond companionship of a woman, . without someone to look after him and take care of all his needs, and to share all the good times and the bad times with him. —Moderata Fonte, The Worth of Women, c. 1592 Keeping House, Making Art Even when they did not make art, early modern women contributed to its production, whether as models, female kin, mistresses, or wives. Marriage itself was often a sign of professional status for the early modern male artist, although its legal and social benefits for men varied.1 Artists’ wives might keep accounts, prepare materials, sell works, or run large households (like Rubens’s in Antwerp), sustaining master, pupils, and assistants and offering hospitality to visitors and patrons.2 Margaret Lemon, van Dyck’s cultivated mistress, ran his residence at Blackfriars between 1632 and 1639, also modeling for portraits and mythological and religious images in which her personality and relationship with the artist became part of the artistic content.3 Similarly, Rembrandt’s relationship with Hendrickje Stoffels 11 EMW_2010.indb 11 7/15/10 7:57 AM 12 EMWJ 2010, vol. 5 Linda C.
