DIRECTIONS to BAROQUE NAPLES Helen Hills 1 INTRODUCTION: DIRECTIONS TO BAROQUE NAPLES Helen Hills Abstract How have place in Naples and the place of Naples been imagined, chartered, explored, and contested in baroque art, history and literature? This special issue revisits baroque Naples in light of its growing fashionability. After more or less ignoring Naples for decades, scholars are now turning from the well-trodden fields of northern and central Italy to the south. This is, therefore, an opportune moment to reconsider the paradigms according to which scholarship has -- often uncritically – unrolled. How has scholarship kept Naples in its place? How might its place be rethought?

She taught at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Manchester before being appointed Anniversary Reader at York. Her research focuses on Italian baroque art and architecture in relation to religion, gender, and social class, exploring how architecture and place are productive and discontinuous, even disjunctive. She has published widely on baroque theory, southern Italian baroque art and architecture; religious devotion and social divisions; miracles and materiality; and post-industrial architecture. Her books include: The Matter of Miracles: Neapolitan Baroque Architecture & Sanctity (Manchester University Press, 2016), which investigates the relationship between matter and miracle in baroque Naples; Invisible City: The Architecture of Devotion in Seventeenth-Century Neapolitan Convents (Oxford University Press, 2004), awarded the Best Book Prize by the Society of Early Modern Women; and Marmi Mischi Siciliani: Invenzione e identità (Società Messinese di Storia Patria, 1999). Edited books include Rethinking the Baroque (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2011), an exploration of ‘baroque’ at the interstices of history, philosophy, and art. Recent publications include: ‘Taking place: Architecture and holiness in seventeenth-century Italy’, in A. Payne (ed), Renaissance and Baroque Architecture.

It is important to acknowledge the inability of linear narrative either to accommodate DIRECTIONS TO effectively the spatiality of historical processes or to BAROQUE NAPLES interrogate that spatiality. An assumption that place is a priori tends to occlude the politics of place. If place Helen Hills, University of York is not assumed to be fixed and stable, what part does it play? What happens when place is thought, not only in terms of extension, but in terms of contestation, Introduction discontinuity, and dislocation? What, then, emerges as at This special issue investigates artworks, literature, stake in the place and places of Naples? and histories of baroque Naples through a critical Recent scholarship has provided innovative interrogation of their relationship to place. It aims to approaches to materiality and the processes of consider ‘baroque Naples’ as a critical question, not in transformation in art and architecture (Lloyd Thomas, terms of periodisation, stylistic moment, or place set in 2007; Bennett, 2010; Benjamin, 2011). On the whole, time, as if these things are already known and settled, however, art-historical engagement with the material but in terms of convulsion, shifts, differences, and turn has been limited to objects, materials, and disparities. What are the dislocating effects of baroque techniques (Anderson, Dunlop & Smith, 2015). The interventions? How have place in Naples and the place question of how materiality might relate specifically of Naples been imagined, invented, chartered, explored, to place has fallen out of focus. Historical scholarship and contested in baroque art, history, and literature? and art and architectural history tend to take the place By what means – scholarly, cultural, social, political, and of Naples for granted, treating it as passive backdrop economic – has Naples been kept in its place and with to more spectacular or momentous events that are what consequence for the interpretation of its culture? understood to unfold within it or even on it, such as In what ways might ‘Naples’ be usefully thought, less the ‘arrival’ of Caravaggio which suffices to explain in terms of reassertion of identity or of city as given his ‘influence’. Space and place are thus conceived and place in terms of continuity, than in relation to in terms of measurable extent. Yet, such approaches displacement, difference, and disjunction? What hitherto have been challenged by scholarship in geography obscured aspects of Neapolitan baroque culture might and philosophy (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987; De Landa, thereby be allowed to emerge? The aim is not to 2002). Space, by these accounts, is intensive as well interpret the particular in terms of the general, nor as extensive. While such scholarship focuses on film, to essentialise either ‘Naples’ or ‘baroque’. Instead, we maps, and contemporary issues, it has opened the wish to bring the terms ‘baroque’ and ‘Naples’ together question of how place might be thought in intensive percussively and generatively. The term ‘baroque’ is thus terms historically in relation to art, architecture, and not posed as description, style, or period; nor does texts of all kinds. This collection aims to bring place, ‘Naples’ simply designate place as given. Indeed, one displacement, materiality, and transformation into issue explored here is the extent to which ‘baroque’ relation. The city of Naples is approached here as and ‘Naples’ have been held apart or collapsed into provisional, in production, under pressure, contested, each other without sufficient consideration of ellipses and riven with contradiction and conflict, rather than as or friction between them.

An interrogation of the terms ‘Naples’ and ‘baroque’ necessarily foregrounds the problem of place. What Individual Essays possibilities for rethinking baroque Naples are opened, In a brilliant essay Sergius Kodera explores Giovan if one resists assumptions that ‘the city’ is a given, or Battista della Porta’s performative natural philosophy that place secures continuity or is a passive container in relation to the topography of Naples in which the that accommodates interventions that take place within fate of human beings is inscribed topographically, it while leaving the ‘container’ unchanged, apart from physiologically, and somatically.

Rather than treating these artworks as if they palmistry, probably written between 1599 and 1608, is represent a pre-existing political contract (viceregency), interpreted via Naples’ topographies and geographies. it is argued that they interrogate the legitimacy of what Body and place are seen to be co-implicated, not in is held in place.

  • Geomorphological Evolution of Phlegrean Volcanic Islands Near Naples, Southern Italy1
    Berlin .Stuttgart Geomorphological evolution of Phlegrean volcanic islands near Naples, southern Italy1 by G.AIELLO, D.BARRA, T.DE PIPPO, C.DONADIO, and C.PETROSINO with 9 figures and 5 tables Summary. Using volcanological, morphological, palaeoecological and geoarchaeological data we reconstructed the complex evolution of the island volcanic system of Procida-Vivara, situated west of Naples betweenthe lsland of lschia and the PhlegreanFields, far the last 75 ky. Late Pleistocenemorphological evolution was chiefly controlled by a seriesof pyroclas­ tic eruptions that resulted in at least eight volcanic edifices, mainly under water. Probably the eruptive centresshifted progressively clockwise until about 18 ky BP when volcanic develop­ ment on the islands ceased. The presenceof stretches of marine terraces and traces of wave cut notches, both be­ low and abovè'current sea levels, the finding of exposed infralittoral rnicrofossils, and the identification of three palaeo-surfacesburied by palaeosoilsindicates at least three differen­ tial uplift phases.These phases interacted with postglacial eustaticfIuctuations, and were sep­ arated by at least two periods of generai stability in vertical movements. A final phase of ground stability, characterisedby the deposition of Phlegrean and lschia pyroclastics, start­ ed in the middle Holocene. Finally, fIattened surfacesand a sandy tombolo developedup to the present-day. Recent archaeological surveys and soil-borings at Procida confirm the presence of a lagoon followed by marshland at the back of a sandy tombolo that were formed after the last uplift between the Graeco-Roman periodandthe15di_16dicentury. These areaswere gradu­ ally filled with marine and continental sedimentsup to the 20di century. ' Finally, our investigation showed that the volcanic sector of Procida-Vivara in the late Pleistocene-Holocenewas affected by vertical displacementswhich were independent of and less marked than the concurrent movement in the adjacent sectors of lschia and of the Phle­ grean Fields.

  • The Symbolism of Blood in Two Masterpieces of the Early Italian Baroque Art
    The Symbolism of blood in two masterpieces of the early Italian Baroque art Angelo Lo Conte Throughout history, blood has been associated with countless meanings, encompassing life and death, power and pride, love and hate, fear and sacrifice. In the early Baroque, thanks to the realistic mi of Caravaggio and Artemisia Gentileschi, blood was transformed into a new medium, whose powerful symbolism demolished the conformed traditions of Mannerism, leading art into a new expressive era. Bearer of macabre premonitions, blood is the exclamation mark in two of the most outstanding masterpieces of the early Italian Seicento: Caravaggio's Beheading a/the Baptist (1608)' (fig. 1) and Artemisia Gentileschi's Judith beheading Halo/ernes (1611-12)2 (fig. 2), in which two emblematic events of the Christian tradition are interpreted as a representation of personal memories and fears, generating a powerful spiral of emotions which constantly swirls between fiction and reality. Through this paper I propose that both Caravaggio and Aliemisia adopted blood as a symbolic representation of their own life-stories, understanding it as a vehicle to express intense emotions of fear and revenge. Seen under this perspective, the red fluid results as a powerful and dramatic weapon used to shock the viewer and, at the same time, express an intimate and anguished condition of pain. This so-called Caravaggio, The Beheading of the Baptist, 1608, Co-Cathedral of Saint John, Oratory of Saint John, Valletta, Malta. 2 Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith beheading Halafernes, 1612-13, Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, Naples. llO Angelo La Conte 'terrible naturalism'3 symbolically demarks the transition from late Mannerism to early Baroque, introducing art to a new era in which emotions and illusion prevail on rigid and controlled representation.

  • Ribera's Drunken Silenusand Saint Jerome
    99 NAPLES IN FLESH AND BONES: RIBERA’S DRUNKEN SILENUS AND SAINT JEROME Edward Payne Abstract Jusepe de Ribera did not begin to sign his paintings consistently until 1626, the year in which he executed two monumental works: the Drunken Silenus and Saint Jerome and the Angel of Judgement (Museo di Capodimonte, Naples). Both paintings include elaborate Latin inscriptions stating that they were executed in Naples, the city in which the artist had resided for the past decade and where he ultimately remained for the rest of his life. Taking each in turn, this essay explores the nature and implications of these inscriptions, and offers new interpretations of the paintings. I argue that these complex representations of mythological and religious subjects – that were destined, respectively, for a private collection and a Neapolitan church – may be read as incarnations of the city of Naples. Naming the paintings’ place of production and the artist’s city of residence in the signature formulae was thus not coincidental or marginal, but rather indicative of Ribera inscribing himself textually, pictorially and corporeally in the fabric of the city.

  • The Collecting, Dealing and Patronage Practices of Gaspare Roomer
    ART AND BUSINESS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY NAPLES: THE COLLECTING, DEALING AND PATRONAGE PRACTICES OF GASPARE ROOMER by Chantelle Lepine-Cercone A thesis submitted to the Department of Art History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (November, 2014) Copyright ©Chantelle Lepine-Cercone, 2014 Abstract This thesis examines the cultural influence of the seventeenth-century Flemish merchant Gaspare Roomer, who lived in Naples from 1616 until 1674. Specifically, it explores his art dealing, collecting and patronage activities, which exerted a notable influence on Neapolitan society. Using bank documents, letters, artist biographies and guidebooks, Roomer’s practices as an art dealer are studied and his importance as a major figure in the artistic exchange between Northern and Sourthern Europe is elucidated. His collection is primarily reconstructed using inventories, wills and artist biographies. Through this examination, Roomer emerges as one of Naples’ most prominent collectors of landscapes, still lifes and battle scenes, in addition to being a sophisticated collector of history paintings. The merchant’s relationship to the Spanish viceregal government of Naples is also discussed, as are his contributions to charity. Giving paintings to notable individuals and large donations to religious institutions were another way in which Roomer exacted influence. This study of Roomer’s cultural importance is comprehensive, exploring both Northern and Southern European sources. Through extensive use of primary source material, the full extent of Roomer’s art dealing, collecting and patronage practices are thoroughly examined. ii Acknowledgements I am deeply thankful to my thesis supervisor, Dr. Sebastian Schütze.
