  • ELISABETTA SIRANI's JUDITH with the HEAD of HOLOFERNES By
    ELISABETTA SIRANI’S JUDITH WITH THE HEAD OF HOLOFERNES by JESSICA COLE RUBINSKI (Under the Direction of Shelley Zuraw) ABSTRACT This thesis examines the life and artistic career of the female artist, Elisabetta Sirani. The paper focuses on her unparalleled depictions of heroines, especially her Judith with the Head of Holofernes. By tracing the iconography of Judith from masters of the Renaissance into the mid- seventeenth century, it is evident that Elisabetta’s painting from 1658 is unique as it portrays Judith in her ultimate triumph. Furthermore, an emphasis is placed on the relationship between Elisabetta’s Judith and three of Guido Reni’s Judith images in terms of their visual resemblances, as well as their symbolic similarities through the incorporation of a starry sky and crescent moon. INDEX WORDS: Elisabetta Sirani, Judith, Holofernes, heroines, Timoclea, Giovanni Andrea Sirani, Guido Reni, female artists, Italian Baroque, Bologna ELISABETTA SIRANI’S JUDITH WITH THE HEAD OF HOLOFERNES by JESSICA COLE RUBINSKI B.A., Florida State University, 2003 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2008 © 2008 Jessica Cole Rubinski All Rights Reserved ELISABETTA SIRANI’S JUDITH WITH THE HEAD OF HOLOFERNES by JESSICA COLE RUBINSKI Major Professor: Dr. Shelley Zuraw Committee: Dr. Isabelle Wallace Dr. Asen Kirin Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia May 2008 iv To my Family especially To my Mother, Pamela v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank Robert Henson of Carolina Day School for introducing me to the study of Art History, and the professors at Florida State University for continuing to spark my interest and curiosity for the subject.

A massive "merci beaucoup" to Dr. Jean-Luc Bordeaux, without whom completion of my Master’s degree thesis would never have been fulfilled. It was through Dr. Bordeaux’s leadership, patience, as well as his tremendous knowledge of Renaissance art, Mannerist art, and museum art collections that I was able to achieve this ultimate goal in spite of numerous obstacles. My most heart-felt, gigantic appreciation to Dr. David Leitch, for his leadership, patience, innovative ideas, vast knowledge of political-theory, as well as political science at the intersection of aesthetic theory. Thank you also to Dr. Owen Doonan, for his amazing assistance with aesthetic theory and classical mythology.

  • A Landscape with a Convoy on a Wooded Track Under Attack Oil on Panel 44 X 64 Cm (17⅜ X 25¼ In)
    Sebastian Vrancx (Antwerp 1573 - Antwerp 1647) A Landscape with a Convoy on a Wooded Track under Attack oil on panel 44 x 64 cm (17⅜ x 25¼ in) Sebastian Vrancx was one of the first artists in the Netherlands to attempt battle scenes and A Landscape with Convoy on a Wooded Track under Attack offers an excellent example of his work. A wagon is under attack from bandits who have been hiding in the undergrowth on the right-hand side of the painting. The wagon has stopped as its driver flees for the safety of the bushes, whilst its occupants are left stranded inside. The wagon is guarded by three soldiers on horseback but in their startled state none have managed to engage their attackers. A line of bandits emerge from their hiding place and circle behind and around their victims, thus adding further to the confusion. Two figures remain in the bushes to provide covering fire and above them, perched in a tree, is one of their companions who has been keeping watch for the convoy and now helps to direct the attack. The scene is set in a softly coloured and brightly-lit landscape, which contrasts with the darker theme of the painting. Attack of Robbers, another scene of conflict, in the Hermitage, also possesses the decorative qualities and Vrancx’s typically poised figures, just as in A Landscape with a Convoy on a Wooded Track under Attack. A clear narrative, with travellers on horses attempting to ward off robbers, creates a personal and absorbing image. It once more reveals Vrancx’s delight in detailing his paintings with the dynamic qualities that make his compositions appealing on both an aesthetic and historical level.
