  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)

    Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)

    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.

  • Sketchbook 46 Introduction

    Sketchbook 46 Introduction

    Introduction to SSB 46 (15 February–27 July 1857) by Philip Cottrell NB. All page references are to SSB 46 and catalogue numbers refer to items from the Art Treasures Exhibition’s Gallery of Ancient Masters unless otherwise specified. SSB 46 contains sketches of around seventy Art Treasures items, and encompasses the longest chronological span of any of the sketchbooks associated with the exhibition, a six- month period from mid-February to the end of July 1857. This has a lot to do with Scharf’s increasing workload at Old Trafford, and his inability to continuously update the content of the sketchbook for days, sometimes weeks, on end. Between February and April Scharf slowed and eventually concluded his countrywide survey of British collections, gradually abandoning plans for tours of Scotland, Ireland and the East of England. As paintings finally began to arrive at the Art Treasures Palace during March and April, he began hurriedly organising the hang of the Gallery of Ancient Masters in time for the opening of the exhibition on Tuesday 5 May.1 He was required to attend various official events associated with the exhibition thereafter, and worked intensively to complete his contribution to its definitive catalogue, which was not ready until the end of May (although a far more abbreviated, provisional edition had been issued in time for the exhibition’s opening). During this month and the next, Scharf was constantly shuttling between London and Manchester in order to fulfil a series of weekly Saturday lectures at Queens College, London. He also had to attend board meetings associated with his new appointment as Secretary to the recently formed National Portrait Gallery which he had secured in early March.

    Titian, ,A Singular Friend'

    Originalveröffentlichung in: Kunst und Humanismus. Festschrift für Gosbert Schüßler zum 60. Geburtstag, herausgegeben von Wolfgang Augustyn und Eckhard Leuschner, Dietmar Klinger Verlag, Passau 2007, S. 261-301 CHARLES DAVIS Titian, ,A singular friend‘ A beautiful, if somewhat mysterious portrait painted by Tiziano Vecellio has found its ,last‘ home in the new world, in far away San Francisco, in a place, that is, which de- rives its name from a Spanish novel describing a paradisiacal island called California (figs. 1, 2, 3). Titian’s authorship of the portrait, now belonging to the San Francisco Art Museums and presently housed at the Palace of the Legion of Honor, is testified to by the painter’s signature, and it has never been questioned since the portrait first re- ceived public notice, belatedly, in 1844, when it appeared in the collection of the Mar- quis of Lansdowne. Less spectacular than some of Titian’s best known portraits, the portrait now in California nonetheless belongs to his finest portrayals of the men of his time. Several identifications have been proposed for the sitter, but none advanced with particular conviction. Although the nameless portrait testifies eloquently to the exi- stence of a noble man at rest, whose existence it indeed preserves and continues, his worldly identity remains an unresolved point of interest.1 The San Francisco Art Museums’ ,Portrait of a Gentleman‘ bear’s Titian’s signa- · ture in the inscription which the sitter holds. It reads unequivocally: D Titiano Vecel- lio / Singolare Amico. In all publications the inscription has been read: Di Tiziano sin- golare amico.

By tracing the development of this motif from its inception to its dispersal in selected Tuscan panel paintings of the late-1300’s, this paper seeks to prove that Bartolommeo Bulgarini was significant to its formation. In addition this paper will examine the use of punch mark decorations in the works of artists associated with Bulgarini in order to demonstrate that the painter was influential in the dissemination of the motif and the subsequent tradition of its depiction. This research is instrumental in recovering the importance of Bartolommeo Bulgarini in Sienese art history, as well as in establishing further proof of the existence of the hypothesized Sienese “Post-1350” Compagnia, a group of Sienese artists who are thought to have banded together after the bubonic plague of c.1348-50.

  • The Man of Grace: Rembrandt's Portraits of Individual As Saints

    The Man of Grace: Rembrandt's Portraits of Individual As Saints

    The Man of Grace: Rembrandt’s Portraits of Individuals as Saints by Su-Chi Lin Introduction While the positive influences of the Reformation have long been considered as limited to the development of a visual tradition in early Protestantism, Rembrandt’s The Apostle Paul in its contemporary setting offers the opportunity for further examining the “inner quality” of Protestant aesthetics in a new way.1 Rembrandt van Rijn’s (1606-1669) The Apostle Paul (1657) and his other late religious portraits are well known for their deep “humanity” (Fig.1).2 Rembrandt’s apostles, as Arthur Wheelock argues, have “Protestant quality” in their humility.3 Through referencing the apostle’s association to the Biblical text and church tradition, Volker Manuth examines the historical importance and artistic reception of apostles in varieties of representations.4 Building upon Wheelock and Manuth’s research on Rembrandt’s apostle series from the lens of Protestantism, this paper asks the question: How does Rembrandt’s The Apostle Paul convey theological expression? I will demonstrate that visual effect in Rembrandt’s The Apostle Paul can shed light on the viewer’s understanding of Protestant imagination. Su-Chi Lin 1 The Spatial Dimension The Apostle Paul is dynamic in its composition, simply composed of the image of a bearded old man with two-thirds length body against a plain wall. Yet, the left shoulder and lower part of the figure are ambiguously hidden in deep darkness. This unusual, inscrutable, dim darkness in composition attracts our eyes and serves as a gateway, invoking silently the viewer’s memory of an unknown “universe.”5 The depth of darkness reveals itself in specific details.
