In this work, pigment characterization was carried out on twenty-one Leonardesque paintings applying in situ XRF and FORS analyses. In-depth data evaluation allowed to get information on the colour palette and the painting technique of the different authors and workshops. Particular attention was paid to green pigments (for which a deeper study of possible pigments and alterations was performed with FORS analyses), flesh tones (for which a comparison with available data from cross sections was made) and ground preparation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RENAISSANCE DRAWINGS FROM THE AMBROSIANA AT NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART WASHINGTON, D.C. JULY 27, 1984. The Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, one of Europe's most prestigious research libraries, houses an impressive collection of manuscripts, printed books, and drawings. From the approximately 12,000 drawings in the Ambrosiana collection, eighty-seven sheets from the late fourteenth to early seventeenth centuries will go on view in the National Gallery of Art's West Building beginning August 12, 1984 and running through October 7, 1984. The Ambrosiana collection contains some of the finest works of North Italian draftsmanship. Until recently, these drawings (with the exception of those of the Venetian School) have received little attention from scholars outside Italy. This exhibition brings to the United States for the first time works from the Biblioteca Ambrosiana by prominent artists of the North Italian Schools as well as by major artists of the Renaissance in Italy and Northern Europe. The show includes works by Pisanello, Leonardo, Giulio Romano, Vasari, Durer, Barocci, Bans Holbein the Elder and Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Some of the earliest drawings in the exhibition are by the masters of the International Gothic Style. Several drawings by the prolific (MORE) RENAISSANCE DRAWINGS FRCM THE AMBROSIANA -2. draftsman, Pisanello, appear in the shew.

  • The Pear-Shaped Salvator Mundi Things Have Gone Very Badly Pear-Shaped for the Louvre Abu Dhabi Salvator Mundi
    AiA Art News-service The pear-shaped Salvator Mundi Things have gone very badly pear-shaped for the Louvre Abu Dhabi Salvator Mundi. It took thirteen years to discover from whom and where the now much-restored painting had been bought in 2005. And it has now taken a full year for admission to emerge that the most expensive painting in the world dare not show its face; that this painting has been in hiding since sold at Christie’s, New York, on 15 November 2017 for $450 million. Further, key supporters of the picture are now falling out and moves may be afoot to condemn the restoration in order to protect the controversial Leonardo ascription. Above, Fig. 1: the Salvator Mundi in 2008 when part-restored and about to be taken by one of the dealer-owners, Robert Simon (featured) to the National Gallery, London, for a confidential viewing by a select group of Leonardo experts. Above, Fig. 2: The Salvator Mundi, as it appeared when sold at Christie’s, New York, on 15 November 2017. THE SECOND SALVATOR MUNDI MYSTERY The New York arts blogger Lee Rosenbaum (aka CultureGrrl) has performed great service by “Joining the many reporters who have tried to learn about the painting’s current status”. Rosenbaum lodged a pile of awkwardly direct inquiries; gained a remarkably frank and detailed response from the Salvator Mundi’s restorer, Dianne Dwyer Modestini; and drew a thunderous collection of non-disclosures from everyone else. A full year after the most expensive painting in the world was sold, no one will say where it has been/is or when, if ever, it might next be seen.

  • Leonardo Da Vinci’ of Milan
    SISSA – International School for Advanced Studies Journal of Science Communication ISSN 1824 – 2049 http://jcom.sissa.it/ Comment SCIENCE CENTRES AROUND THE WORLD SEE UNREST FOR ART AND SCIENCE IN SOCIETY Arts and science under the sign of Leonardo. The case of the National Museum of Science and Technology ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ of Milan Claudio Giorgione ABSTRACT: Drawing on the example of Leonardo da Vinci, who was able to combine arts and science in his work, the National Museum of Science and Technology of Milan has always pursued the blending and the dialogue of humanistic and scientific knowledge. It has employed this approach in all of its activities, from the set design of exhibition departments to the acquisition of collections and, more recently, in the dialogue with the public. Now more than ever, following a renewal path for the Museum, these guidelines are being subject to research to achieve a new and more up-to-date interpretation. When Guido Ucelli, a Milanese industrialist and the founder of the Museum in 1953, launched the strategic development plan for this Institution, he had a very clear vision from the outset: a modern Museum of Science that could overcome the traditional division between scientific knowledge and humanistic culture and that should have been able to let Arts and Science dialogue, live together and complement each other. This is why the figure of Leonardo was and is still today an evident case of merger of different knowledge, immediately become the leading theme of the Museum. The Gallery exhibiting the models of the machines built in 1953 based on the interpretation of his designs displays real artistic handicraft items, not only technical-didactic creations.

  • An Analysis of the Attribution of the Louvre Abu Dhabi ​Salvator
    An Analysis of the Attribution of the Louvre Abu Dhabi Salvator Mundi ​ Sydney Welch April 24, 2020 Jill Pederson, Associate Professor of Art History Arcadia University, Department of Visual and Performing Arts Art History 0 provided by Arcadia University View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk CORE brought to you by The Louvre Abu Dhabi Salvator Mundi (Fig.1), attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, ​ ​ ​ ​ challenges modern ideas of authorship and modes of engagement with works from the past. The painting was rediscovered in 2005 in New Orleans, and since then has changed hands several 1 times and has received several different attributions. Its recent range of problematic attributions raise questions about the authenticity of the work. Through an analysis of the history of this peculiar work, the Renaissance workshop, Leonardo's place within that tradition, and its role in modern attribution, a general understanding of the attribution process will become clearer. The role of the individual artist in the Renaissance workshop complicates our contemporary notions of authorship, which in turn complicates the process of attribution. In regards to the Louvre Abu Dhabi Salvator Mundi painting, there is a push to attribute this painting solely to Leonardo, yet ​ ​ the important Renaissance workshop tradition has yet to be fully considered in relation to this painting. In this striking image, we find Christ with long, curly brown hair, using one hand to bless and the other holding a crystal orb (Fig 1). He faces us straight on, not in three-quarter or profile view as is typical of Renaissance portraiture.

  • Salvator Mundi: Why Bernardino Luini Should Be Back in the Frame the Art Newspaper Invites Matthew Landrus to Expand on His Theo
    AiA Art News-service Photo: VCG Wilson/Corbis via Getty Images Salvator Mundi: Why Bernardino Luini should be back in the frame MATTHEW LANDRUS The Art Newspaper invites Matthew Landrus to expand on his theory on attribution to Leonardo and studio 3rd September 2018 09:00 GMT Matthew Landrus’s view on the contribution of Bernardino Luini to the Abu Dhabi Salvator Mundi was recently revealed in the Guardian (6 August). The Art Newspaper invited Landrus to expand on his theory and tell us why the picture should rightly be attributed to Leonardo and studio Bernardino Luini: Christ among the Doctors (around 1510-22) Holwell Carr Bequest The Louvre Abu Dhabi’s Salvator Mundi—which I believe is by Leonardo da Vinci and his studio—is best understood in the context of the picture’s early copies and similar paintings. Ludwig Heydenreich’s 1964 essay remains the most comprehensive treatment of Leonardo-related Salvator Mundis, which he claims were initiated by a Leonardo cartoon (a large-scale preparatory drawing), rather than an original painting. This view still lies at the heart of the debate about whether any of the Salvator Mundi variants can be attributed wholesale to Leonardo. As part of a critical appraisal, a lengthier study would address the studio context with historical research, connoisseurship and technical and scientific analyses. I offer here notes on Leonardo’s studio, taken from a forthcoming essay (though not addressed in my newly updated book on Leonardo). Although Leonardo received assistance from painters and apprentices from as early as 1483, he is traditionally the only author, or the primary author, of many of those projects.
