The Master of the Unruly Children and His Artistic and Creative Identities

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. -
Il Ruolo Di Igino Benvenuto Supino Per La Conoscenza, Tutela E Valorizzazione Del Patrimonio Artistico Italiano
Editoriale INTRECCI d’arte DOSSIER – n. 4/2018 IL RUOLO DI IGINO BENVENUTO SUPINO PER LA CONOSCENZA, TUTELA E VALORIZZAZIONE DEL PATRIMONIO ARTISTICO ITALIANO Marinella Pigozzi Gli storici dell'arte e gli studiosi che già alla fine del secolo XIX si resero conto di quanto la fotografia intesa come laboratorio, occasione d'indagine personale, potesse aiutare la conoscenza del patrimonio artistico e contribuire alla crescita della neonata disciplina Storia dell’arte e dei relativi coinvolgimenti nella ricerca, nella didattica, nel restauro, non furono molti. In Italia, accanto ad Adolfo Venturi e a Corrado Ricci, più volte interlocutori di Supino, possiamo ricordare Luca Beltrami (1854-1933), che aveva iniziato molto presto a raccogliere per i suoi studi e lavori riproduzioni fotografiche di documentazione. Oggi le vediamo nella raccolta del Civico Archivio Fotografico del Castello Sforzesco di Milano di cui divennero nel 1926 il nucleo iniziale. Giulio Cantalamessa (1846-1924) fece lo stesso nel 1906 quando, trasferendosi a Roma, decise di donare la propria raccolta fotografica alle Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia di cui era stato curatore dal 1894. Nel resto dell’Europa, il Bildarchiv Foto di Marburg vide la sua nascita nel 1913 grazie all’interesse di Richard Hamann (1879-1961)1. Il Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie a l’Aia aprì al pubblico nel 1932 in seguito alla donazione di più di 100.000 fotografie raccolte durante la sua carriera dallo storico dell’arte olandese Cornelis Hofstede de Groot (1863-1930)2. Gli archivi fotografici di William Conway (1856-1937) e di Robert Witt (1872-1952), di Samuel Courtauld e di Arthur Hamilton Lee diedero l’avvio alle famosissime collezioni del Courtauld Institute of Art di Londra. -

Paolo D'ancona, Un'edizione Della «Vita» Del Cellini E La Divulgazione
PAOLO D’ANCONA, UN’EDIZIONE DELLA «VITA» DEL CELLINI E LA DIVULGAZIONE ∗ Abstract – Paolo D’Ancona (1878-1964) was among the first University Professors of Art History in Italy. He taught at the Università degli Studi in Milan from 1908 to 1954 (with an interruption from 1938 to 1945 due to the fact that he was Jewish) and while there he formed a large number of pupils. Today his activity as a teacher and divulgator has to be regarded as more important than his scholarly one: starting in the mid-1920s D’Ancona, who until then had focused mainly on the History of Illumination, devoted himself especially to the divulgation of Art History, constantly updated and expounded in a very clear manner in schoolbooks and printed works that were meant to have a large circulation. This article is centered mostly around a brief foreword to Benvenuto Cellini’s Vita (Milano, Cogliati, 1925), in which D’Ancona drifts away from Adolfo Venturi’s and Igino Benvenuto Supino’s well-established critical patterns in order to define the artist’s Mannerism in very modern terms, also by accurately appraising his sculptures, that he came to fully appreciate for their formal and intentionally refined elegance. The echo of this short, yet very appropriate Art History lesson cannot be found in contemporary art literature, but only in the pages by the philologists and scholars that from that moment on wrote a foreword to Cellini’s Vita: Enrico Carrara, Bruno Maier, Ettore Bonora, Carlo Cordié. D’Ancona owes the surprisingly modern interpretation of these works of art to honest pedagogical prac- tice, rather than to rigorous disciplinary orientation: he was strongly influenced by the personality of his father, Alessandro D’Ancona (1835-1914), an Italian Literature professor at the Normale di Pisa for almost half a century, and followed his model by taking cues from the method of the faded historical school and by updating it thanks to the warm bond he had struck up with Lionello Venturi as well as with other scholars of his time. -
Art and Politics at the Neapolitan Court of Ferrante I, 1458-1494
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: KING OF THE RENAISSANCE: ART AND POLITICS AT THE NEAPOLITAN COURT OF FERRANTE I, 1458-1494 Nicole Riesenberger, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Meredith J. Gill, Department of Art History and Archaeology In the second half of the fifteenth century, King Ferrante I of Naples (r. 1458-1494) dominated the political and cultural life of the Mediterranean world. His court was home to artists, writers, musicians, and ambassadors from England to Egypt and everywhere in between. Yet, despite its historical importance, Ferrante’s court has been neglected in the scholarship. This dissertation provides a long-overdue analysis of Ferrante’s artistic patronage and attempts to explicate the king’s specific role in the process of art production at the Neapolitan court, as well as the experiences of artists employed therein. By situating Ferrante and the material culture of his court within the broader discourse of Early Modern art history for the first time, my project broadens our understanding of the function of art in Early Modern Europe. I demonstrate that, contrary to traditional assumptions, King Ferrante was a sophisticated patron of the visual arts whose political circumstances and shifting alliances were the most influential factors contributing to his artistic patronage. Unlike his father, Alfonso the Magnanimous, whose court was dominated by artists and courtiers from Spain, France, and elsewhere, Ferrante differentiated himself as a truly Neapolitan king. Yet Ferrante’s court was by no means provincial. His residence, the Castel Nuovo in Naples, became the physical embodiment of his commercial and political network, revealing the accretion of local and foreign visual vocabularies that characterizes Neapolitan visual culture. -

Gracie Keiter ARTH 155 Catalogue Tomb of Catherine of Austria There is little known about the life of Catherine of Austria prior to her death in 1323. Born in Vienna in 1295, she was one of twelve children of Albert I of Germany and Elisabeth of Tirol. She was engaged twice before ultimately marrying Charles, Duke of Calabria in 1316, but they bore no children during their seven years together. Prior to her death, she gave a generous donation to the San Lorenzo Maggiore church in order to build a chapel dedicated to Louis of Toulouse. Due to her contribution, Tino di Camiano was commissioned to build her tomb during renovations in the church the year that she died. Unfortunately, not much has been revealed as to the cause of her death, perhaps because the details were lost during the onset of the Black Death in 1348. What is clear, though, is that the revolution of tomb building has moved forward with this creation. The gothic tomb features a multi-tiered marble façade, covered in intricate carvings and fine mosaic work. It stands upon four columns supported by the backs of lions that look outward towards the viewer. The main columns have innovative, twisted bands of patterned mosaics between the carvings in red, gold, and green. There are also smaller supports behind the lions that feature figures partially hidden by low-relief foliage. The main focus of the tomb is clearly the cross section that connects the columns; there are three figures separated by fields of green, gold, and red mosaic work on the front of it. -

Articoli INTRECCI d’arte DOSSIER – n. 4/2018 IL FONDO SUPINO OGGI. PROSPETTIVE DI RICERCA A PARTIRE DALLE TESTIMONIANZE FOTOGRAFICHE DI SCULTURA PISANA DEL TRECENTO DI ALINARI E AMMAGLIATI Giulia Calanna Igino Benvenuto Supino, personalità di spicco nel panorama italiano tra Otto e Novecento, è stato uno dei padri fondatori della disciplina storico-artistica basata sulla ricerca documentaria e sull’uso, all’epoca assai precoce, della fotografia come mezzo di studio1 (fig. 1). Nel 1907, quando lo studioso pisano approda a Bologna per ricoprire la prima cattedra di storia dell’arte dell’Università, ha alle spalle una pluriennale esperienza come conservatore e direttore museale. Aveva infatti lavorato prima a Pisa, sua città natale, dove aveva fondato il Museo civico e curato il relativo catalogo pubblicato nel 18942 , poi a Firenze dove dal 1896 al 1906 ha diretto il Museo Nazionale del Bargello3. L’attenzione di Supino verso la documentazione fotografica a supporto della didattica e della ricerca storico-artistica contraddistingue il suo trentennale magistero all’Università di Bologna. La consapevolezza dell’utilità delle testimonianze fotografiche manifestata da Supino è in linea con il suo metodo di ricerca, consolidato alla scuola di Alessandro d’Ancona e basato soprattutto sull’analisi di fonti e documenti4.

Ci sono circa 3 milioni di persone con diversa abilità in Italia, ed oltre 37 milioni nell’Unione Europea, che sono interessate a viaggiare ma che per ragioni diverse sono ancora escluse dai circuiti ufficiali del turismo; una di queste ragioni riguarda soprattutto la carenza di informazioni sull’accessibilità delle strutture e dei siti di interesse turistico-culturale, quasi sempre poco attendibili e/o difficili da reperire, sia presso gli uffici turistici e gli alberghi che nei cataloghi dei tour operators. -

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.
