  • Masters' Thesis Abstract and Table of Contents
    Céline Cachaud Masters’ Thesis (2017) École Pratique des Hautes Études (Paris) Pr. Sabine Frommel (dir.) Nicholas Hilliard’s trip to France (1576-1579) and its consequences on his work A holistic approach This thesis is the result of more than two years of research. It is a two-parts research with a study of 167 pages and a comprehensive catalogue of Nicholas Hilliard’s work, the first in French, of 273 numbers. The study is currently only available in French. The study Nicholas Hilliard’s trip to France has regularly been boiled down to a no-consequence phase of his career by most of the specialists and scholars. However, sources and preserved works of art tell us another story : this period was indeed prolific and meaningful for the rest of his life. Although very few works of art are kept, circa twenty compared with the more than 200 authentic and attributed pieces, they are proofs of the plurality of his artistic production and the signs of the apex of his career thanks to the protection of the Valois court and most notably, thanks to the patronage of the French king’s brother, the duke of Alençon. Main issue Through the renewed analysis of the available and discovered archival and iconographical sources, this thesis had for main issue to discuss the consequences of Hilliard’s stay in France and the importance of it. To a lesser extent, it also questions Hilliard’s part in the renewal of portrait miniatures production in France in the late sixteenth century. ABSTRACT AND CONTENTS !1 Method : Our intentional holistic approach aimed at analyzing Hilliard’s trip to Paris in a global way, questioning on both Hilliard’s artistic career and human path into French society.

  • WARTS and ALL the Portrait Miniatures of Samuel Cooper (1609-1672)
    PRESS RELEASE October 2013 WARTS AND ALL The Portrait Miniatures of Samuel Cooper (1609-1672) A major loan exhibition dedicated to the first internationally celebrated British artist, Samuel Cooper, will go display at the Philip Mould gallery from 13 November – 7 December 2013 (Preview Tuesday, 12 November). Known to his contemporaries as ‘the prince of limners’ or ‘Vandyck in little’. Lenders to the exhibition include Royal Collection Trust, The Duke of Buccleuch, Castle Howard, Burghley House, The Ashmolean Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the National Portrait Gallery. The exhibition takes its name from the Duke of Buccleuch’s iconic unfinished portrait of Oliver Cromwell, which, for the first time, will be hung alongside Sir Peter Lely’s identical portrait of Cromwell [on loan from Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery]. The death mask of Oliver Cromwell will also be loaned from Warwick Castle to allow visitors to compare his features to Cooper’s ad vivum sketch and subsequent portraits. As the exhibition will conclusively show, it is to Cooper that Oliver Cromwell is believed to have made clear his desire to be painted ‘warts and all’. This ambitious exhibition has been curated by Emma Rutherford, portrait miniature specialist to Philip Mould & Co, who has succeeded in securing loans from across the country to make this an outstanding show and give visitors a rare opportunity to glimpse these significant portraits together. Most have not been seen together since leaving Cooper’s studio in the 17th Century. The curator, Emma Rutherford, says “visitors to the exhibition will be able to visually follow Cooper’s career in the same way that we are able to read Pepys diary.

MFA. November 2003. Art History Dismissed yet Disarming: The Portrait Miniature Revival, 1890-1930 (112pp.) Director of Thesis: Jody Lamb The portrait miniature revival is examined regarding contemporary influences and artists, during the period c. 1890-1930. Modern influences, including the philosophies of Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau, are defined in context of the miniature. The fine arts of John Singer Sargent’s portraiture, as well as the abstraction and color of Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas, are revealed as instrumental in altering the style of the revival miniature. Photography is examined for its influence versus eclipse of the miniature. The miniaturist’s environment is found to be highly significant, as the city of New York provided constant immersion in art societies, exhibitions, and studio residences where artists coexisted while creating new styles. Focus is on the works of miniaturists Eulabee Dix and Laura Coombs Hills. Patronage is found to be highly supportive of the portrait miniature and essential to an understanding of why the miniature was revived during the period.

  • Abstract Biography of the Author
    FRAME: Concept, History and Conservation: Symposium 2, AGNSW, Sydney, April 3 - 5, 2019 George Bisacca Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY, USA [email protected] Abstract This lecture traces the evolution of ornament in Renaissance Florence through manuscript illumination, sculptural and architectural detail, furniture and fresco painting, culminating in the art of Bernardo Buontalenti, who is seen as a link between Mannerism and the Baroque and whose designs in the decorative arts may be responsible for the emergence of the auricular style in frames for the Galleria Palatina at Palazzo Pitti after the devastating fire of 1638. Although various scholars and frame historians attribute the origin of the auricular style to the Netherlands, this is at odds with the otherwise austere and sparse ornament present on buildings and furniture both before and after its 20-year popularity in the Low Countries. Given the seamless evolution and proliferation of ornamental forms across more than three centuries in Italy in general and in Florence in particular, the style would seem to be more logically explained as an outgrowth of existing trends. The flatness and reduced scale of the Northern examples relative to the Florentine prototypes is probably due to the designs first being disseminated northward through drawings. Biography of the Author George Bisacca, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Before joining the Paintings Conservation Department at the Metropolitan in 1983, Mr. Bisacca received conservation training at the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, specializing in the structural treatment of paintings on solid support. He has since been invited to treat panel paintings at several institutions in the United States and Europe.
