The Italian Cultural Institute of New York FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Italian Cultural Institute of New York Presents: "Fondazione Zeri: a Voyage through Art History" Thursday, March 22, 2012 - 6:00 PM With the participation of: Anna Ottani Cavina , Director Fondazione Zeri Keith Christiansen , Chairman Department of European Paintings - Metropolitan Museum of Art. Location Italian Cultural Institute New York, 686 Park Avenue NYC New York City art lovers will be introduced to the Fondazione Zeri of Bologna through a power point presentation created especially for this event by the Fondazione Zeri and illustrated by Anna Ottani Cavina , Director of the Fondazione Zeri. A conversation exploring the iconic persona of Mr. Zeri and ties between the United States and the Fondazione will follow. The Fondazione Zeri, named after the renowned Italian art historian Federico Zeri, is located at the University of Bologna and serves as a prestigious center of specialization in the field of humanistic studies. Federico Zeri combined his talent as an art connoisseur with a close network of acquaintances which brought him into contact with the leading collectors and antiquarians of the time, including Vittorio Cini, J. Paul Getty, Alessandro Contini Bonacossi and Daniel Wildenstein. Of great significance were his relations with the United States. As a visiting professor at Harvard University in Cambridge (Mass.) and New York's Columbia University, he was instrumental in setting up the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. He was commissioned to catalogue the Italian paintings in US state-owned collections (1972), publishing the catalogs of the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore (1976) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (1971, 1973, 1980, 1986). Zeri's time was spent between Europe, the States and the Middle East. When not travelling he would retreat to his villa in Mentana, designed especially for him by the architect Andrea Busiri Vici in 1963 to suit his requirements for living and studying. From his isolated location in the Roman countryside he had no hesitation in expressing outspoken views through the Press and television, eventually becoming the critical conscience of Italian culture, which was only later to bring him recognition. In 1993 he was appointed deputy chairman of the National Council for the Cultural Heritage. In February 1998 he was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Bologna, a year after becoming a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, where he took the place of Richard Nixon. The collection The photograph library The photograph archive is one of the world's most complete private archives for the art history sector. Over the years whole photograph collections previously owned by scholars, auction houses and antique dealers were saved by Federico Zeri from dispersion or destruction. The photograph archive numbers 290,000 photos of art works and monuments. For the most part they are black and white prints on paper (gelatin silver prints, albumen prints, carbon prints, collotypes), with a smaller section of colour prints and slides, coming from State photography archives (Fototeca Nazionale, Soprintendenze), Italian and foreign museums, private archives and collections. Besides its rich Italian painting collection (148,000 photographs), the archive contains sizable core collections covering the applied arts (18,000 photos), archaeology (3,600), architecture (8,800), italian sculpture (16,000), drawings (12,700), miniatures (5,500), besides icons and trompe l’oeil. Perhaps the richest and most valuable such core collection is the one on Italian and European still lifes (14,000 photos). The library Federico Zeri’s art library comprises more than 46,000 books as well as about 37,700 auction catalogues and 60 journals. It forms the natural scientific extension to the photograph library with which it is inseparably linked. Over and above the value of every publication, the special feature is the volume arrangement. Novel relations will be found between artists and reading programmes, reflecting Zeri’s own studies and research. Another unique feature is the appearance in many books of hand-written annotations, dedications and attachments such as letters, photographs and articles bearing witness to the critical work of the scholar. As of September 2007, the essential core of Federico Zeri’s art library has been transferred to the Bologna centre. The richest section concerns Italian painting from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century and consists of monographs, catalogues and extracts. There are also important sections covering sculpture, miniatures, medieval art, drawing, engraving, foreign art, applied arts, classical art, Byzantine art, archaeology, architecture, iconography, museum catalogues and sources of art historiography. The section on the twentieth century includes the library of the scholar Franco Russoli (former Superintendent of the Brera) which Zeri purchased to avoid it being dispersed. The collection of auction catalogues (not yet transferred to Bologna) is one of the most important in existence, and includes a number of rare Italian and foreign catalogues from the nineteenth and early twentieth century, as well as catalogues from recent years. Epigraphs During his tireless research activity, Federico Zeri collected a range of different items including mosaics, Fayum portraits and sculptures at his house in Mentana. The bulk of his collection of antiquities is made up of several hundred inscriptions. Though these include some in Greek, the largest proportion consist of hundreds of inscriptions in Latin. Almost always purchased on the antiques market, the origin is only known with certainty in a few cases, though it may be assumed that most of them came to light in Rome, Ostia and elsewhere in Lazio. The collection is distinctive not only for its wealth of contents but also for its unique range of different types, making it almost a "manual" of epigraphy. It contains a few rare examples of Republican inscriptions, for example, besides dedications to divinities, emperors, characters from the senatorial and equestrian ranks, and burial monuments of soldiers as well as artisans and ordinary people. There are also Christian inscriptions, stamped bricks and a few examples of epigraphs in the form of odes. About the speakers Anna Ottani Cavina Anna Ottani Cavina teaches History of Modern Art at the University of Bologna and at Johns Hopkins University (Bologna Center). She published and organized expositions on the themes of Caravaggio paintings, the 17th century in Italy and the Neoclassical and Romantic age (Carlo Saraceni, 1968; Elsheimer and Galileo, 1976; Felice Giani 1758-1823 e la cultura di fine secolo, Electa, 1999, 2 volumes; Il Settecento e l’antico, 1987; Romanticismo, il nuovo sentimento della natura, 1993). One of her volumes, I paesaggi della ragione, received the Morassi Prize for Art History in 1994. Under the direction of Umberto Eco, she designed a program of visual art on CD ROMs produced by Olivetti, dedicated to the history of European civilization in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, 1994, 1995, 1996. Although she was a visiting professor in the American universities of Yale, Brown and Johns Hopkins, she worked mostly at the Washington National Gallery, the Getty Center of Los Angeles and the Metropolitan Museum of New York. In 1996, the Académie de France in Paris bestowed upon her the title of “Chevalier dans l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres”. Furthermore, at Columbia University in New York, she held the 1999 Italian Academy Lecture Series. Keith Christiansen Keith Christensen is Chairman Department of European Paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He has published widely on topics ranging from Sienese painting of the fifteenth century to Tiepolo in eighteenth-century Venice. His 1986 article on Caravaggio's practice of painting from the model, based on a direct examination of the artist's work in the exhibition 'The Age of Caravaggio,' was awarded the Arthur Kingsley Porter prize. The Italian Cultural Institute of New York Founded in 1961, the Italian Cultural Institute of New York is an office of the Italian government, dedicated to the promotion of Italian language and culture in the United States through the organization of cultural events. Under the guidance of its trustees at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, its advisory board, and its staff, the Italian Institute of Culture of New York conforms to this commitment by fostering the cultural exchange between Italy and the US in a variety of areas, from the arts to the humanities to science. Central to the Italian Cultural Institute's mission is a constant effort to encourage the understanding and enjoyment of Italian culture by organizing and promoting cultural events in collaboration with the most prominent academic and cultural institutions of the East Coast. The Italian Cultural Institute of New York focuses on the development of initiatives aimed at showcasing Italian excellence in various fields, such as science, technology, the arts and design. The development of academic exchanges, the organization and support of visual arts exhibitions, the grants for translation and publication of Italian books, the promotion of Italian studies, and the cooperation with local institutions in planning various events that focus on Italian music, dance, cinema, theater, architecture, literature, philosophy etc., are just a few examples of the Institute's initiatives. In conclusion, the Italian Cultural Institute of New York provides an "open window" on the cultural and social aspects of past and current Italy.

  • Roberto Longhi E Giulio Carlo Argan. Un Confronto Intellettuale Luiz Marques Universidade Estadual De Campinas - UNICAMP
    NUMERO EDITORIALE ARCHIVIO REDAZIONE CONTATTI HOME ATTUALE Roberto Longhi e Giulio Carlo Argan. Un confronto intellettuale Luiz Marques Universidade Estadual de Campinas - UNICAMP 1. Nel marzo del 2012 ha avuto luogo a Roma, all’Accademia dei Lincei e a Villa Medici, un Convegno sul tema: “Lo storico dell’arte intellettuale e politico. Il ruolo degli storici dell’arte nelle politiche culturali francesi e italiane”[1]. L’iniziativa celebrava il centenario della nascita di Giulio Carlo Argan (1909) e di André Chastel (1912), sottolineando l’importanza di queste due grandi figure della storiografia artistica italiana e francese del XX secolo. La celebrazione fornisce l’occasione per proporsi di fare, in modo molto modesto, un confronto intellettuale tra Roberto Longhi (1890-1970)[2] e Giulio Carlo Argan (1909-1992)[3], confronto che, a quanto ne so, non ha finora tentato gli studiosi. Solo Claudio Gamba allude, di passaggio, nel suo profilo biografico di Argan, al fatto che questo è “uno dei classici della critica del Novecento, per le sue indubitabili doti di scrittore, così lucidamente razionale e consapevolmente contrapposto alla seduttrice prosa di Roberto Longhi”[4]. Un contrappunto, per quello che si dice, poco più che di “stile”, e nient’altro. E ciò non sorprende. Di fatto, se ogni contrappunto pressuppone logicamente un denominatore comune, un avvicinamento tra i due grandi storici dell’arte pare – almeno a prima vista – scoraggiante, tale è la diversità di generazioni, di linguaggi, di metodi e, soprattutto, delle scelte e delle predilezioni che li hanno mossi. Inoltre, Argan è stato notoriamente il grande discepolo e successore all’Università di Roma ‘La Sapienza’ di Lionello Venturi (1885-1961), il cui percorso fu contrassegnato da conflitti con quello di Longhi[5].

  • Inventing an Italian Landscape @ Columbia University's
    Inventing an Italian Landscape @ Columbia University’s Italian Academy for Advanced Studies Distinguished Visiting Professorship Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Inventing an Italian Landscape @ Columbia University’s Italian Academy for Advanced Studies Distinguished Visiting Professorship Iwona Adamczyk (April 02, 2012) Italian Academy Distinguished Visiting Professorship in art history, archaeology, and Italian studies at Columbia University’s Italian Academy for Advanced Studies is made possible by the Compagnia di San Paolo. Lurking with its serene and ethereal postcard images, Venice continuously becomes part of itineraries of travelers to the Bel Paese. Not many people who had the opportunity to travel to Italy have skipped the city built on water. It is hard to believe such was not the case in the eighteenth century. “At the end of the eighteenth century, Venice is not on the maps of travelers as they follow in the classicism and antiquity and therefore end up visiting Rome, Naples and Sicily” – stated Professor Anna Ottani Cavina [2] at the inaugural lecture of the Compagnia di San Paolo [3] Italian Academy Distinguished Visiting Professorship, held on March 21st, at Columbia University’s Italian Academy for Advanced Studies. [4] CU’s Italian Academy CU’s Italian Academy Professor Ottani Cavina is the first to hold this prestigious position established at Columbia University [5] by a generous multi-year funding from the Compagnia di San Paolo. “The Visiting Professorship in art history, archeology and Italian studies although in its first year, is already attracting a wide student audience” - pointed out Abigail Asher, Page 1 of 3 Inventing an Italian Landscape @ Columbia University’s Italian Academy for Advanced Studies Distinguished Visiting Professorship Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) the Director of Development and Publications at the CU Italian Academy.

Moran and Mallory: The Guido Riccio controversy THE GUIDO RICCIO CONTROVERSY AND RESISTANCE TO CRITICAL THINKING GORDON MORAN and MICHAEL MALLORY HE PALAZZO PUBBLICO IN SIENA, ITALY, is decorated Twith some of Italian art's most famous murals, or frescoes. The undisputed favorite of many art lovers and of the Sienese them­ selves is the Guido Riccio da Fogliano at the Siege ofMontemassi (fig. 1, upper fresco), a work traditionally believed to have been painted in 1330 by Siena's most renowned master, Simone Martini. Supposedly painted at the height of the golden age of Sienese painting, the Guido Riccio fresco has come to be seen as the quintessential example of late medieval taste and the em­ bodiment of all that is Sienese in the art of the early decades of the four­ teenth century.

  • The Crucifixion C
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Italian Thirteenth and Fourteenth Century Paintings Paolo Veneziano Venetian, active 1333 - 1358 The Crucifixion c. 1340/1345 tempera on panel painted surface: 31 x 38 cm (12 3/16 x 14 15/16 in.) overall: 33.85 x 41.1 cm (13 5/16 x 16 3/16 in.) framed: 37.2 x 45.4 x 5.7 cm (14 5/8 x 17 7/8 x 2 1/4 in.) Inscription: upper center: I.N.R.I. (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews) Samuel H. Kress Collection 1939.1.143 ENTRY The Crucifixion is enacted in front of the crenellated wall of the city of Jerusalem. The cross is flanked above by four fluttering angels, three of whom collect the blood that flows from the wounds in Christ’s hands and side. To the left of the Cross, the Holy Women, a compact group, support the swooning Mary, mother of Jesus. Mary Magdalene kneels at the foot of the Cross, caressing Christ’s feet with her hands. To the right of the Cross stand Saint John the Evangelist, in profile, and a group of soldiers with the centurion in the middle, distinguished by a halo, who recognizes the Son of God in Jesus.[1] The painting’s small size, arched shape, and composition suggest that it originally belonged to a portable altarpiece, of which it formed the central panel’s upper tier [fig. 1].[2] The hypothesis was first advanced by Evelyn Sandberg-Vavalà (originally drafted 1939, published 1969), who based it on stylistic, compositional, and iconographic affinities between a small triptych now in the Galleria Nazionale of Parma [fig.

  • Roberto Longhi and the Historical Criticism of Art

It has been accepted for inclusion in Differentia: Review of Italian Thought by an authorized editor of Academic Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected]. The Eloquent Eye: Roberto Longhi and the Historical Criticism of Art David Tabbat Bernard Berenson once observed that Vasari's greatest strength as a writer was that sure instinct for narrative and char­ acterization which made him a worthy heir of Boccaccio. Lest his readers misconstrue this appreciation of Vasari's "novelistic ten­ dency" as a denigration of his work when judged by purely art­ historical criteria, Berenson added that the author of the Lives "is still the unrivaled critic of Italian art," in part because "he always describes a picture or a statue with the vividness of a man who saw the thing while he wrote about it." 1 To a remarkable degree, these same observations may aptly introduce the work of Roberto Longhi (1890-1970),2who is often regarded by the Italians themselves (whether specialists or inter­ ested laymen) as the most important connoisseur, critic, and art historian their country has produced in our century.

Fellowships are open to scholars at the postdoctoral level and above who wish to devote a semester or a full academic year to genuinely innovative work in any field relating to culture, cultural memory, and the relations between culture, the sciences, and the social sciences. Fellows are chosen by a jury of experts in the relevant fields. The most advanced part of the Fellowship Program is the Academy’s ongoing Project in Art and Neuroscience, in which scholars in both the humanities and the sciences work together in assessing the significance of the latest developments in genetics and the neurosciences for the humanities—and vice versa. The Academy also serves as the chief reference point in the United States for all links between the worlds of higher education in Italy and the U.S. Thanks to its prestige and its location in New York, the Academy has become a critical site for meetings between distinguished members of the Italian and American business and political communities. Its theater, library, and other public spaces offer important locations for a variety of conferences, concerts, films, and exhibitions.
