    !21 CHAPTER I The Formation of the Missionary Gaspar’s Youth The Servant of God was born on January 6, 1786 and was baptized in the parochial church of San Martino ai Monti on the following day. On that occasion, he was given the names of the Holy Magi since the solemnity of the Epiphany was being celebrated. I received this information from the Servant of God himself during our familiar conversations. The Servant of God’s parents were Antonio Del Bufalo and Annunziata Quartieroni. I likewise learned from conversation with the father of the Servant of God as well as from him that at first Antonio was engaged in work in the fields but later, when his income was running short, he applied as a cook in service to the most excellent Altieri house. The Del Bufalos were upright people and were endowed sufficiently for their own maintenance as well as that of the family. They had two sons: one was named Luigi who married the upright young lady Paolina Castellini and were the parents of a daughter whose name was Luigia. The other son, our Servant of God. Luigi and Gaspar’s sister-in-law, as well as his father and mother, are now deceased. As far as I know, the aforementioned parents were full of faith, piety and other virtues made know to me not only by the Servant of God, honoring his father and mother, but also by Monsignor [Antonio] Santelli who was the confessor of his mother and a close friend of the Del Bufalo family.

Abstract Rare and precious window elements from the Paleochristian Basilica of Saint Sabina in Rome, made of plaster gypsum with translucent selenite used as glass for light transmission, were discovered by Antonio Muñoz during the restoration of the building at the beginning of the 20th c. Originally standing within the stone window frame, were then mounted on wood planks with screws for holding together the scattered fragments. The surfaces were covered with grime and the selenite elements were blinded by the wooden supports. During the recent conservation treatment at ISCR, traces of Egyptian blue on the internal surfaces were detected.

  • Giovanni Battista Contini
    Giovanni Battista Contini Italian architect of the Late Baroque period (1641-1723) Son of Francesco and Agata Baronio was born in Rome on May 7, 1642. He had the first training of an architect by his father who "nobility educated him and sent to all the schools to which the nobles were subjected", but he also perfected under Gian Lorenzo Bernini. He was so attached to the great master that he would assist him to death and to have a portrait of him "printed on canvas with black frame". The first important commission of CONTINI to be known seems to be the erection of the catafalco for Alexander VII (1667). arrived through Bernini. In Rome, in addition to carrying out practical duties such as those of measuring and architect of the Apostolic Chamber and Architect of the Virgin Water, in which he succeeded Bernini (1681-1723), he dedicated himself particularly to the erection of family chapels and altars; but his main activity soon moved to different places and often far from Rome, and yet in the papal state. Three years after the death of Bemini, in 1683, CONTINI became principal of the Accademia di S. Luca, succeeding Luigi Garzi in a prestigious duty function as indicative of the professional stature he had reached at that time. In the Academy, however, he was disappointed, demonstrating in a way too obvious that his interest focused on practicing the profession. In 1696 he was judged in the banned competition on the occasion of the first centenary of the Academy, but no other activities for this institution were known until 1702, when he worked as an instructor Along with Francesco Fontana, Sebastiano Cipriani, Carlo Buratti and Carlo Francesco Bizzaccheri.

  • Gaspard Dughet: Some Problems in the Connoisseurship of Chalk Drawings
    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: GASPARD DUGHET: SOME PROBLEMS IN THE CONNOISSEURSHIP OF CHALK DRAWINGS Sarah Beth Cantor, Master of Arts, 2005 Thesis directed by: Professor Anthony Colantuono Department of Art History and Archaeology Little scholarship has been devoted to the graphic oeuvre of Gaspard Dughet (1615-1675), a prominent landscape painter of the seventeenth century. A number of drawings in red and black chalk have been attributed to Dughet based on their connection to documented paintings. Stylistic comparisons with other examples of Dughet’s work as a draughtsman and technical evidence including medium and watermarks, however, reveal that a group of drawings given to the artist are, in fact, copies done in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. Although Dughet’s contributions are under appreciated today, his work influenced the next generation of landscape artists in Italy and abroad, including the British and many Dutch and Flemish artists who traveled to Italy. This thesis examines not only Dughet’s chalk drawings, but the graphic work of his most well-known Northern followers to determine which artist may have executed these copies.
