ABSTRACT This thesis examines a group of terracotta sculptures attributed to an artist known as the Master of the Unruly Children. The name of this artist was coined by Wilhelm von Bode, on the occasion of his first grouping seven works featuring animated infants in Berlin and London in 1890. Due to the distinctive characteristics of his work, this personality has become a mainstay of scholarship in Renaissance sculpture which has focused on identifying the anonymous artist, despite the physical evidence which suggests the involvement of several hands. Chapter One will examine the historiography in connoisseurship from the late nineteenth century to the present and will explore the idea of the scholarly “construction” of artistic identity and issues of value and innovation that are bound up with the attribution of these works.

    BOOK REVIEWS BOKODY, Péter: Images-within-Images in Italian Painting (1250–1350). Reality and Reflexivity, Ashgate, Farnham – Burlington, 2015. xiv+229 pages, 20 pages of plates A picture within another picture begins appear- ing from the second half of the thirteenth cen- tury, when a powerful turn can be discerned in Italian painting. Earlier, painters tried to per- suade viewers of the “real presence” of sacred things; from this moment up to about the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries they tried to represent these things, to render them visible. Representations became truer to reality towards the end of the duecento, with an aim of mirroring small details, too. The spatial correla- tion of persons and objects was pondered about, the goal being to grasp real space, to make the third dimension visible. The growing interest in representing reality, in rendering the plasticity and spatial placement of figures gave rise to the possibility of depicting separate pictures within a picture: images-within-images. Though connoisseurs and researchers of painting have been aware of this phenomenon for ages, it was a lecture by André Chastel in 1964 that first analyzed it thoroughly after some occa- sional mentions,1 after which research began to inquire into it as a self-contained phenomenon. Chastel retraced the device to the Eyckian turn Cover illustration: Crucifixion. Giotto di Bondone: in the early fifteenth century and pointed out Allegory of Obedience, 1310s, fresco.

  • The Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italian: Torre Pendente Di Pisa) Or Simply
    The Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italian: torre pendente di Pisa) or simply the Tower of Pisa (torre di Pisa [ˈtorre di ˈpiːza; ˈpiːsa][1]) is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa, known worldwide for its nearly four-degree lean, the result of an unstable foundation. The tower is situated behind the Pisa Cathedral and is the third-oldest structure in the city's Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo), after the cathedral and the Pisa Baptistry. The height of the tower is 55.86 metres (183.27 feet) from the ground on the low side and 56.67 metres (185.93 feet) on the high side. The width of the walls at the base is 2.44 m (8 ft 0.06 in). Its weight is estimated at 14,500 metric tons (16,000 short tons).[2] The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. The tower began to lean during construction in the 12th century, due to soft ground which could not properly support the structure's weigcompletion of construction in the 14th century. By 1990, the tilt had reached 51⁄2 degrees.[3][4][5] The structure was stabilized by remedial work between 1993 and 2001, which reduced the tilt to 3.97 degrees.[6]There has been controversy about the real identity of the architect of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. For many years, the design was attributed to Guglielmo and Bonanno Pisano,[7] a well-known 12th-century resident artist of Pisa, known for his bronze casting, particularly in the Pisa Duomo.

  • Bocche Inutili: Incorporating Pisa in the Florentine Imaginary Cristelle L
    Early Modern Women: An Interdiciplinary Journal 2006, vol. 1 Bocche Inutili: Incorporating Pisa in the Florentine Imaginary Cristelle L. Baskins wo pictures, today in Dublin at the National Gallery of Ireland, Tserved originally as the front panels of a pair of fifteenth-century Florentine cassoni, or wedding chests, made as containers for the dowry goods of brides.1 These panels represent the Conquest of Pisa in 1406 (figures 1 and 2) and the Battle of Anghiari that took place in 1440 (figure 3). No documentation has yet come to light to inform us about the artist or artists responsible for these pictures or the commission to paint them. The style of the panels suggests a date circa 1460. The subject matter and the heraldry represented point to the Capponi family as likely patrons.2 The Conquest of Pisa features a foreground frieze of soldiers on horseback and on foot, with the tents of their encampment visible along the bottom perimeter of the panel. The city of Florence is seen at the upper left, identified by civic monuments including the Duomo and the tower of the Palazzo della Signoria. Opposite Florence we find a large cityscape of Pisa, including its most famous landmark, the Leaning Tower. The Conquest of Pisa represents the climactic entry of Florentine troops through the gate of S. Marco and the replacement of the Pisan standard with the lily of Florence. Located precisely in the middle ground of the composition, just outside the walls of the conquered city, almost lost amid the chaos of battle, are two groups of women and children, the “useless mouths” (bocche inutili).

  • Siena Study Center: Art History
    UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS – SIENA PROGRAM HISTORY OF MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE SIENESE ART INSTRUCTOR: FEDERICA FISCALETTI [email protected] CELL. +39 347 37 51 800 COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will trace the development of Sienese art through visual, historical, and critical analyses. Siena has a history steeped in art, religion and politics that makes it a fascinating place to study (and in which to live). Sienese artists were pivotal in shaping medieval and Renaissance Italian painting, sculpture and architecture. From the mid-13th century until the fall of the Sienese Republic to Florence in 1555, Siena experienced its own ‘renaissance’. Particular emphasis will be given to the ‘golden age’ of the Sienese Gothic (Duccio, Simone Martini, etc.) and to the special relationship that the city held (and still holds) with the Virgin Mary and its myriad of saints and blesseds (Saint Catherine of Siena, San Bernardino, the Blessed Agostino Novello, to name but a few).
