I). The monumental palace stretches for eighty ,five metres along the Western flank of the piazza from the Southern corner coward the Northern end. The exceptionally long fapde is organised into a symmetrical sequence of bays with a projecting central section and is buttressed, at the North end, by a distinct fapde with a large serliana win, dow (an arch with crabeaced sides). The exterior boasts a profusion of ornament that enlivens the surface and punctuates the horizontality of the building. Through sheer scale and abundance of form, the Palazzo Pamphilj bespeaks grandeur and authority. Architecture serves the rhetorical functions of communication and persuasion. In the early modem period (ca. 1500-1800), palaces in particular became synonymous with the statm of their owners. Today, the Palazzo Pamphilj houses the Embassy of Brazil in Rome, but until the government ofBrazil purchased the palace in 1960, it had belonged to the Pamphilj family.

Most were Dutch and Flemish artists, including Andries and Jan Both, Karel Dujardin, Jan Miel and Johannes Lingelbach, who brought existing traditions of depicting peasant subjects from sixteenth-century Netherlandish art with them to Italy. The name, meaning ‘ugly doll’, derived from the nickname of Pieter van Laer, credited with initiating the Bamboccianti School, due to his ungainly proportions. In Rome during this period, the work of the Bamboccianti School served as an important countermovement which eschewed the lofty subject matter and grand scale of the conventional art of the time. Artists such as Salvator Rosa lamented that the city had been invaded by a group of painters whose works represented “nothing but rogues, cheats, pickpockets, bands of drunks and gluttons, scabby tobacconists, barbers, and other sordid subjects”1. Rosa was outraged that 1 Levine, David A. (December 1988). "The Roman Limekilns of the Bamboccianti".

Felsina Pittrice LIVES of the BOLOGNESE PAINTERS
CARLO CESARE MALVASIA’S Felsina pittrice LIVES OF THE BOLOGNESE PAINTERS Published for the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art, Washington Harvey Miller Publishers An Imprint of Brepols Publishers THE FELSINA PITTRICE Count Carlo Cesare Malvasia’s Felsina pittrice, or Lives of the Bolognese Painters, first published in two volumes in Bologna in 1678, is one of the most important sources for the history and criticism of painting in Italy. Conceived in part as a response to Giorgio Vasari’s Le vite de’ più eccellenti pittori, scultori e architettori (1550/1568), the Felsina pittrice combines close observation with documentary history, and careful analysis with polemical debate. It offers the fullest account of Bolognese artists from Simone dei Crocefissi to Prospero and Lavinia Fontana, from Guercino to Elisabetta Sirani. The Carracci are treated as a family of artists, and their school (including Guido Reni, Domenichino, and Francesco Albani, among others) is documented by Malvasia in far greater detail than by any other biographer. The great art historian Luigi Lanzi (1732- 1810) said that no other school in Italy had been described by a more capable pen, and he considered the two volumes of the Felsina pittrice to be “a treasure of the most beautiful knowledge gathered from the pupils of the Carracci, whom Malvasia knew, and who helped him in this work, which was, however, accused of sometimes burning with an excessively patriotic zeal.” 2. THE CRITICAL EDITION Accusations of excessive passion for his local school, combined with unjustified charges of forgery and unreliability, have for centuries clouded the reception and understanding of Malvasia’s extraordinarily important text, which was last edited and published in 1841-44.

This image depicts the goddess and her nymphs actively engaged in various activities. This portrayal is drastically different from common depictions of the time period, in which the goddess is portrayed as vulnerable, weak, and subjected to male voyeurism.

Dutch Artists in Italy
THE ROYAL COLLECTION TRUST Dutch Landscapes The Dutch artists in Italy In The Foundation of the Noble, Free Art of Painting , 1604, Carel van Mander describes Rome as ‘the city where before all other places the Painter’s journey is apt to lead him, since it is the capital of Pictura’s Schools; but it is also the right place for spendthrifts and prodigal sons to squander their money.’ He goes on to say that ‘one must fall in love with the beauty of that land and with the Italian people … on the whole they are neither treacherous nor thievish but subtle and very polite, even though they are loud- mouthed and tight-fisted.’ Paintings such as Karel du Jardin’s A Muleteer and Two Men Playing the Game of Morra reflect the ambivalent view that many Dutch artists had of their new surroundings. Karel du Jardin, A Muleteer and Two Men Playing the Game of Morra , Most northern travellers experienced a mix of wonder and fear c.1650 -52 when considering Rome and of fascination and disillusionment upon arrival. What initially met those who made the journey to the city was the disabitato , the ‘rubble-belt’, the two-thirds of the area of the ancient city of Rome that was without human habitation. These chaotic surroundings would have offered a stark contrast to the tightly-packed, walled cities of Holland, which were expanding according to careful plans. At the same time, however, Rome was undergoing a process of transformation at the hands of the great ‘town- planning’ Popes – Sixtus V (1585-90), Paul V (1605-21), Urban VIII (1623-44), Innocent X (1644- 55) and Alexander VII (1655-67) – and the creation of the Roman Baroque.

The Head of a Young Woman Looking Upwards Black and Red Chalk, with Touches of White Chalk, on Pale Brown Paper
Guido RENI (Calvenzano 1575 - Bologna 1642) The Head of a Young Woman Looking Upwards Black and red chalk, with touches of white chalk, on pale brown paper. Inscribed No 35, Reni Guido and 1609 no 23 Guido Reni at the bottom of the sheet. Further inscribed Raccolta di S.M.G. San Germano on the former backing sheet. 377 x 270 mm. (14 7/8 x 10 5/8 in.) ACQUIRED BY THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, HOUSTON, TEXAS. Guido Reni often produced individual, large-scale chalk drawings of heads as studies for the figures in his paintings. The present sheet was first published, as a work of Reni’s Roman period, by the late Stephen Pepper in 1981, and the attribution has since been confirmed by Babette Bohn and other scholars. While the drawing is not related to any surviving work by the artist, Pepper suggested that the 17th century inscription ‘Raccolta di S.M.G. San Germano’ on the old backing sheet may refer to a certain Bartolo di Villa San Germano, a figure mentioned in an interesting passage in Malvasia’s biography of Reni. As Malvasia relates, ‘Guido also gave works by his hand to whomever he found pleasing, and whomever, by showing they were disinterested, won him over...[including] a very lovely little Madonna for a certain Bartoli of Villa di S. Germano in the diocese of Rimini, a very handsome robust old man 105 years old, whose venerable head Guido painted a good eight times; but the painting was wickedly taken away from him by a gentleman in the Roman countryside, where he, Bartoli, was showing it to everyone and receiving incredible alms for it.’ The present sheet may perhaps be related to this now-lost Madonna, although this can only be conjecture.

The accompanying captions hopefully provide some relevant biographical information ‘varnished’ with a thin layer of art history, where applicable! Putting together a selection of new acquisitions for sale often entails considerable research, especially with artists unfamiliar to us or whose work appears infrequently on the art market. The preference and style of often tends to focus on the context and merit of the Gallery Notes corresponding picture or drawing within the painter’s œuvre and, space permitting, we try to include as much up to date research as possible. Above all, our own individual interpretation is offered as guidance and, we trust, an alternative to ‘write-ups’ in standard reference books and websites. The pictures by Lagrenée, Voet and Ward have all emerged from private collections and present the chance to learn yet more about the lives of these painters who appear to have worked almost exclusively from one commission to the next with little let-up. In fact all the painters represented here were acknowledged specialists in their genre and (p.7) probably meant as much to its owner, in the flesh as well as in oil (! ), as Lagrenée’s Worthy devotional (p.3) did to the many generations of Rochefoucaulds.

Gallery Private Patronage in Italy, 1600-1700 While the papacy was financing an ambitious array of public projects in 17th-century Rome, such as Bernini’s colonnade for St. Peter’s Basilica, a market was also emerging among private patrons for smaller, more personal works of art. Members of the papal entourage, as well as the rising classes of bankers, merchants, and civil servants, were clamoring to assemble their own collections with art by the leading painters of the day. Though Francesco Albani had executed several large altarpieces as a younger artist in Bologna, he earned a reputation as a painter of cabinet pictures during his mature years in Rome. Pietro da Cortona was known for his magnificent fresco cycles, but he also produced easel paintings for privileged clients. The archaizing painter Sassoferrato built a career almost exclusively on commissions for pictures of moderate dimensions for private residences. The diverse backgrounds and interests of the new patrons also permitted a wider range of subject matter than was customary in the art of Counter-Reformation Italy. Small pictures often depicted tales from Greek and Roman mythology, and religious pieces took on a more devotional and intimate scale, as seen in the paintings of Carlo Dolci and Francesco Furini. Such works were also coveted by collectors outside Italy, such as Lord Arundel, a British diplomat under King Charles I, whose collection formed the foundation of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. The Docent Collections Handbook 2007 Edition Carlo Dolci, attributed to Italian, 1616-1687, active in Florence The “Blue” Madonna, c. 1670 Oil on canvas Bequest of John Ringling, 1936, SN 136 In this painting the popular subject of the Madonna of Sorrows, or Mater Dolorosa, is endowed with a physical presence and simplicity that has affected many pious viewers.
