The accademia seems to have been formed only after the completion of the Palazzo Bocchi in 1546, and Bonasone’s other associations with it occurred after his return to Bologna. Massari argues that the prints show Bonasone’s engraving technique in full maturity, indicating a date after 1560 and as late as 1568.11 However, such a late date would pose a problem for attributing the commission to the Accademia Bocchiana, which was dissolved when Bocchi died in 1562.12 Based on this fact and Massari’s argument, one could be tempted to date the series to 1560–62. Unfortunately however, as the evidence for its commission by the academy is purely speculative, the temptation must be set aside. Given the moralising tone of the prints, it seems likely that they were created in the spirit of the Counter- Reformation. The Council of Trent first convened in Trent from 1545 to 1546, in Bologna in 1547, then continued to meet in Trent until 1563. The council was inaugurated by Pope Paul III in order to combat the Protestant Reformation that had swept across northern Europe in the early 16th century, challenging the power of the Roman Catholic Church.

  • Following the Early Modern Engraver, 1480-1650 September 18, 2009-January 3, 2010
    The Brilliant Line: Following the Early Modern Engraver, 1480-1650 September 18, 2009-January 3, 2010 When the first engravings appeared in southern Germany around 1430, the incision of metal was still the domain of goldsmiths and other metalworkers who used burins and punches to incise armor, liturgical objects, and jewelry with designs. As paper became widely available in Europe, some of these craftsmen recorded their designs by printing them with ink onto paper. Thus the art of engraving was born. An engraver drives a burin, a metal tool with a lozenge-shaped tip, into a prepared copperplate, creating recessed grooves that will capture ink. After the plate is inked and its flat surfaces wiped clean, the copperplate is forced through a press against dampened paper. The ink, pulled from inside the lines, transfers onto the paper, printing the incised image in reverse. Engraving has a wholly linear visual language. Its lines are distinguished by their precision, clarity, and completeness, qualities which, when printed, result in vigorous and distinctly brilliant patterns of marks. Because lines once incised are very difficult to remove, engraving promotes both a systematic approach to the copperplate and the repetition of proven formulas for creating tone, volume, texture, and light. The history of the medium is therefore defined by the rapid development of a shared technical knowledge passed among artists dispersed across Renaissance and Baroque (Early Modern) Europe—from the Rhine region of Germany to Florence, Nuremberg, Venice, Rome, Antwerp, and Paris. While engravers relied on systems of line passed down through generations, their craft was not mechanical.

  • Che Si Conoscono Al Suo Già Detto Segno Vasari's Connoisseurship In
    Che si conoscono al suo già detto segno Vasari’s connoisseurship in the field of engravings Stefano Pierguidi The esteem in which Giorgio Vasari held prints and engravers has been hotly debated in recent criticism. In 1990, Evelina Borea suggested that the author of the Lives was basically interested in prints only with regard to the authors of the inventions and not to their material execution,1 and this theory has been embraced both by David Landau2 and Robert Getscher.3 More recently, Sharon Gregory has attempted to tone down this highly critical stance, arguing that in the life of Marcantonio Raimondi 'and other engravers of prints' inserted ex novo into the edition of 1568, which offers a genuine history of the art from Maso Finiguerra to Maarten van Heemskerck, Vasari focused on the artist who made the engravings and not on the inventor of those prints, acknowledging the status of the various Agostino Veneziano, Jacopo Caraglio and Enea Vico (among many others) as individual artists with a specific and recognizable style.4 In at least one case, that of the Martyrdom of St. Lawrence engraved by Raimondi after a drawing by Baccio Bandinelli, Vasari goes so far as to heap greater praise on the engraver, clearly distinguishing the technical skills of the former from those of the inventor: [...] So when Marcantonio, having heard the whole story, finished the plate he went before Baccio could find out about it to the Pope, who took infinite 1 Evelina Borea, 'Vasari e le stampe', Prospettiva, 57–60, 1990, 35. 2 David Landau, 'Artistic Experiment and the Collector’s Print – Italy', in David Landau and Peter Parshall, The Renaissance Print 1470 - 1550, New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1994, 284.

  • What Differentiates Renaissance Copies, Fakes and Reproductions?
    AiA Art News-service What Differentiates Renaissance Copies, Fakes and Reproductions? An Austin exhbition argues that copies, despite the negative connotations associated with the word, are not inferior to so-called “originals” Left: Albrecht Dürer, "St. Thomas," 1514 / Right: Johann Ladenspelder, "St. Thomas," circa 1535 – 1561(Blanton Museum of Art, University of Texas at Austin) By Meilan Solly SMITHSONIAN.COM MAY 7, 2019 11:33AM Throughout art history, the lines between mimicry, reproduction and forgery have often been blurred. While forgery, defined as passing one’s work off as someone else’s, is fairly easy to differentiate, the boundaries of originality are harder to tease out. Take, for example, Andy Warhol’s Pop Art Brillo Boxes—which not only copied an existing commercial design, but also exist in such quantities that it is impossible to tell which were created directly by the artist versus his team of assistants and carpenters—or Marcel Duchamp’s “L.H.O.O.Q.,” a doctored, mass-produced version of da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” indistinguishable from the original apart from hand-drawn facial hair and a string of letters inscribed below the portrait. Looking to ancient times, BBC Culture’s Jason Farago notes, the Romans considered their contemporary replicas on par with original Greek statues—a sentiment that persists to this day, with many museums spotlighting later copies of lost classics. For Albrecht Dürer, a master painter and printmaker active during the Northern Renaissance, originality was a more straightforward concept. As he warned in the impassioned introduction to his 1511 “Life of the Virgin” series, “Beware, you envious thieves of the work and invention of others, keep your thoughtless hands from these works of ours.” But what Dürer considered plagiarism, others, including engraver Marcantonio Raimondi, viewed as tribute, or even free publicity.

  • Presents the Chiaroscuro Woodcut in Renaissance Italy, the First Major Exhibition on the Subject in the United States
    (Image captions on page 8) (Los Angeles—April 26, 2018) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents The Chiaroscuro Woodcut in Renaissance Italy, the first major exhibition on the subject in the United States. Organized by LACMA in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, this groundbreaking show brings together some 100 rare and seldom-exhibited chiaroscuro woodcuts alongside related drawings, engravings, and sculpture, selected from 19 museum collections. With its accompanying scholarly catalogue, the exhibition explores the creative and technical history of this innovative, early color printmaking technique, offering the most comprehensive study on the remarkable art of the chiaroscuro woodcut. “LACMA has demonstrated a continued commitment to promoting and honoring the art of the print,” said LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director Michael Govan. “Los Angeles is renowned as a city that fosters technically innovative printmaking and dynamic collaborations between artists, printmakers, and master printers. This exhibition celebrates this spirit of invention and collaboration that the Renaissance chiaroscuro woodcut embodies, and aims to cast new light on and bring new appreciation to the remarkable achievements of their makers.” “Although highly prized by artists, collectors, and scholars since the Renaissance, the Italian chiaroscuro woodcut has remained one of the least understood techniques of early printmaking,” said Naoko Takahatake, curator of Prints and Drawings at LACMA and organizer of the exhibition.

  • Homage to Goltzius: Four Disgracers in One
    HOMAGE TO GOLTZIUS: FOUR DISGRACERS IN ONE Lawrence O. Goedde The Fralin Art Museum at the University of Virginia was recently given a drawing that is immediately recognizable as an adaptation of Hendrick Goltzius’s famous series of engravings, The Four Disgracers, of 1588. This artist apparently found in Goltzius’s demonstration of artistry both an inspiration and a challenge since he or she not only set about copying the four figures but also combined them into a single composition. The result is a work that reveals a clear determination to rival the virtuosity of the original; and to some degree it succeeds, creating a work in the spirit of Goltzius himself. DOI: 10.18277/makf.2015.02 he Fralin Art Museum at the University of Virginia was recently given a drawing (fig. 1) based on the work of Hendrick Goltzius that is immediately recognizable as an adaptation of Goltzius’s famous series of engravings The Four Disgracers, of 1588 (fig. 2).1 Displaying four figures tumbling through the air and seen from unusual Tangles, Goltzius’s prints, which are based on designs by Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem, demonstrate his artistic virtuosity in a variety of ways.2 Not only are the four figures depicted with their limbs splayed out, in poses requiring the use of extreme foreshortening, but each is also carefully composed within the circular field of a tondo format, enhancing the effect of twisting motion through space. The prints display Goltzius’s command of male anatomy in the convoluted poses, which on closer examination are basically the same pose seen from different angles.

  • Chastening Pictures: Donne and Aretino
    Chastening Pictures: Donne and Aretino Yulia Ryzhik i n John Donne’s Satire IV of 1597, the speaker is accosted by a garrulous courtier, who reproaches him for keeping to himself and not recognizing “of Court life…the good”. Donne counters with a Isnide remark that there is nothing good to be learned at court: but Spartans’ fashion To teach by painting drunkards doth not taste Now; Aretine’s pictures have made few chaste; No more can princes’ Courts, though there be few Better pictures of vice, teach me virtue. (lines 68–72)1 The Spartans, according to Plutarch, used to make slaves drunk to show young men the disgusting effects of drunkenness and deter them from the habit – a method that Donne finds outmoded and ineffective. The incongruous reference to painting, which was not the Spartan practice, leads to a sharper, more current statement: “Aretine’s pictures have made few chaste”, with “few” as a sardonic understatement for “none”. Donne’s two examples make an odd pairing, which suggests that although nothing good can be gained from viewing the living pictures of vice at court, sexually explicit pictures, like filthy displays of drunkenness in ancient Sparta, could be used to teach virtue by counterexample, but are simply not potent enough for the modern world. Erotic images in Renaissance literature usually signify sexual self-indulgence and serve to stimulate, or at least to supplement, lust. In The Faerie Queene, tapestries of Venus and Adonis in the Castle Joyous of Malecasta (“badly chaste”) help “kindle 1. John Donne, The Major Works, ed.

  • The Scultori and Ghisi Engraving Enterprise in Sixteenth-Century Mantua and Beyond
    “OLD IN SUBSTANCE AND NEW IN MANNER”: THE SCULTORI AND GHISI ENGRAVING ENTERPRISE IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY MANTUA AND BEYOND by Hilary Letwin A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December, 2013 Part 1 Abstract: This dissertation seeks to reframe the way in which the prints of the incisori Mantovani, Giovanni Battista (1503-1575), Adamo (1530?-1587) and Diana Scultori (1547-1612), and Giorgio Ghisi (1520-1582), are examined. Previously, their contributions in the printmaking process, largely engraving prints that are after the designs of other artists, have been dismissed as reproductive. This dissertation examines the ways in which these printmakers worked to elevate their engravings from simply reproductive to creative works of art in their own right. Their engravings, which certainly took inspiration from the designs of Giulio Romano, among others, were not the product of a close collaboration between a master and the engravers. Instead, the engravers appear to have worked fairly autonomously, in Mantua and elsewhere, engaging with and manipulating their source material, experimenting technically and in the design of their prints, and finally questioning the role of engraving within the greater framework of artistic practice in the sixteenth century. Chapter one examines the work of Giovanni Battista, who used printmaking as a creative outlet, seeking a freedom not possible in his other sculptural projects that were carried out according to the specifications of patrons and artistic masters. His engravings can be seen as an attempt to “conquer” these outside influences. Chapter two considers the prints and career of Adamo Scultori, who used his prints to comment on the “enslavement” of reproductive printmakers to their sources.
