  • Portrait Dated 1512, at the State Hermitage Museum1
    542 Giovanna Perini Folesani УДК: 75.041.5 ББК: 85.103(4)5 А43 DOI: 10.18688/aa177-5-55 Giovanna Perini Folesani Dominicus Who? Solving the Riddle Posed by a Splendid “Venetian” Portrait Dated 1512, at the State Hermitage Museum1 It takes some real quality for a Renaissance portrait to be able to hang close to Giorgione’s Judith in the same museum room without fading or being overshadowed2 (Ill. 124). The high quality of this problematic picture is further proven by its seventeenth-century attribution to Giorgione (who died two years before it was painted) [70, I, p. 105; 15, p. 190]. It is no coinci- dence that this very portrait was chosen for the dust-jacket of the official catalogue in English of the Venetian paintings in the State Hermitage Museum published in the 1990s [31] and has recently travelled to Australia along with other masterpieces from St. Petersburg3. Still, its attri- bution and iconography have proven elusive so far. Its current, yet not undisputed attribution to Domenico Capriolo, a minor Giorgionesque painter, is untenable on both stylistic and historical grounds4. A comparison with his one undis- puted portrait of Lelio Torelli, signed and dated 1528 [23, XIX, pp. 210–211; 87, V, pp. 557–558; 77, XVI, pp. 281–282; 89, IX/3, p. 548, fig. 374], shows that sixteen years later, far from im- proving as an artist, Domenico Capriolo (if he were the author of the State Hermitage picture) would paint in a stiffer, more elementary, much less imaginative and elegant way, having but a clumsy grasp on perspective.

  • Carta Dei Servizi Del Museo Pinacoteca Accademia Carrara
    CARTA DEI SERVIZI DEL MUSEO PINACOTECA ACCADEMIA CARRARA PREMESSA La Carta dei servizi, costituisce lo strumento attraverso cui il Museo comunica con i suoi visitatori e si confronta con essi. Essa individua i servizi che la Fondazione s’impegna a erogare sulla base del Regolamento del Museo, delle norme vigenti e nel rispetto delle esigenze e delle aspettative dei fruitori, la cui soddisfazione costituisce un obiettivo primario. La Carta della qualità dei servizi risponde dunque all’esigenza di fissare principi e regole nel rapporto tra chi eroga i servizi e i cittadini che ne usufruiscono. Essa costituisce un vero e proprio “patto” con i fruitori, uno strumento di comunicazione e di informazione che permette loro di conoscere i servizi offerti, le modalità e gli standard promessi, di verificare che gli impegni assunti siano rispettati, di esprimere le proprie valutazioni anche attraverso forme di reclamo. L’adozione della Carta dei servizi è una delle iniziative volte a promuovere una più ampia valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale conservato nella Pinacoteca Accademia Carrara e ad adeguare per quanto possibile, in armonia con le esigenze della tutela e della ricerca, l’organizzazione delle attività alle aspettative degli utenti. La Carta sarà aggiornata con cadenza biennale per consolidare i livelli di qualità raggiunti e registrare i cambiamenti positivi intervenuti attraverso la realizzazione di progetti di miglioramento, che possono scaturire anche dal monitoraggio periodico dell’opinione degli utenti. Tale aggiornamento, a cura della Direzione della Fondazione e previa approvazione del CDA, avverrà comunque in caso di: • Modifica della normativa sugli standard dei servizi museali; • Nuove esigenze di servizio; • Suggerimenti e osservazioni degli utenti riconosciute di particolare peso.

  • Press Release
    FRICK TO PRESENT FIRST MAJOR NORTH AMERICAN EXHIBITION ON RENAISSANCE PAINTER GIOVANNI BATTISTA MORONI MORONI: THE RICHES OF RENAISSANCE PORTRAITURE February 21 through June 2, 2019 In Renaissance Italy, one of the aims of portraiture was to make the absent seem present through naturalistic representation of the sitter. This notion—that art can capture an individual exactly as he or she appears—is exemplified in the work of Giovanni Battista Moroni. The artist spent his entire career in and around his native Bergamo, a region in Lombardy northeast of Milan, and left a corpus of portraits that far outnumbers those of his contemporaries who worked in major artistic centers, including Titian in Venice and Bronzino in Florence. Though Moroni never achieved their fame, he innovated the genre of portraiture in spectacular ways. This winter and spring, Giovanni Battista Moroni (b. 1520–24; d. 1579/80), Portrait of a Young Woman, ca. 1575, oil on canvas, private collection; photo: the Frick presents the first major exhibition in North Michael Bodycomb America devoted to his work, bringing together nearly two dozen of Moroni’s most arresting and best known portraits from international collections to explore the innovations and experiments that belie his masterful illusion of recording reality. They will be shown alongside a selection of complementary objects— Renaissance jewelry, textiles, arms and armor, and other luxury items—that exemplify the material and visual world that Moroni recorded, embellished, and transformed. Moroni: Moroni, Giovanni Gerolamo Grumelli, called The Man in Pink, dated 1560, oil on canvas, Fondazione Museo di Palazzo Moroni, Bergamo–Lucretia The Riches of Renaissance Portraiture was organized by Aimee Ng, Associate Curator, Moroni Collection; photo: Mauro Magliani 1 The Frick Collection; Simone Facchinetti, Researcher, Università del Salento, Lecce; and Arturo Galansino, Director General, Palazzo Strozzi, Florence.

Angelo Caroselli was born in Rome, the son of Achilles, a dealer in second-hand goods who bought broken silver and gold objects and was a minor but dedicated collector of paintings by renowned painters of the past1. Caroselli was a self-taught, experimental and intellectually curious painter. By 1604 he appears as one of the artists registered at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome, an institution with which he maintained some relationship, at least in the years 1608 and 1636. Caroselli broadened his knowledge of art outside the frontiers of his native region with early trips to Florence in 1605 and Naples in 1613. He was primarily based in Rome from approximately 1615, the year of his first marriage to Maria Zurca from Sicily, and it was there that he must have had a large studio although little is known on this subject. Passeri states that among the regulars in the “bottega” were the Tuscan Pietro Paolini and the painters Francesco Lauri and possibly Tommaso Donnini. Caroselli always kept abreast of the latest developments in art, particularly since Paolini, who arrived in his studio around 1619, initiated him into the first phase of Caravaggesque naturalism. Caroselli’s use of this language essentially relates to form and composition rather than representing a profound adherence to the new pictorial philosophy. Nonetheless, around 1630 it is difficult to distinguish between his works and those of his follower Paolini, given that both artists were fully engaged in the new artistic trend.
