Located in a verdant park overlooking the city, Mount Vesuvius, and the bay of Naples, the Capodimonte Museum is one of Italy’s largest museums and home to one of the fnest collections of Italian and Spanish painting in the world. Its heart is the splendid Farnese collection of painting and sculpture, formed in Parma and Rome in the sixteenth century and inherited by Charles VII of Naples and Sicily (who later became Charles III of Spain). Earthy Italian and Spanish masterpieces of the baroque period, grounded in realism and produced in Naples, built on this foundation. Characteristic of both periods is a focus on the human fgure, whether in portraits, mythological subjects, or religious scenes. Flesh & Blood features many profound expressions of the intersection of physical and spiritual existence, with unceasing emphasis on the human body as a vehicle to express love and devotion, physical labor, tragic suffering, and spiritual release. This exhibition gives our visitors the rare opportunity to see how brilliant and innovative artists such as Raphael, Titian, El Greco, Artemisia Gentileschi, and Jusepe de Ribera approached these timeless themes. The Seattle Art Museum and the Kimbell Art Museum have greatly enjoyed collaborating with the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte on this extraordinary project. Our two institutions were enthusia- stic about the prospect of an exhibition from Naples, but it was only when the directors and curators traveled there, met with museum colleagues, and saw the extraordinary works of art in the galleries and in storage that we realized how powerful this exhibition could be. We would like to thank Sylvain Bellenger, Director of the Museum, for his collegiality in welcoming us to Naples and generosity in sharing these treasures with our visitors. We are also grateful to Patrizia Piscitello, Head of Exhibi- tions. Logistical details were managed by the expert team of MondoMostre, and we would like to especially thank David Gramazio and Diana Boldrini Parravicini for their tireless work to make this a stunning and successful exhibition and publication. The curatorial team of Chiyo Ishikawa from Seattle and George Shackelford and Guillaume Kientz from the Kimbell worked smoothly together, expertly identifying works that were masterpieces of their time and still relevant today. At the Seattle Art Museum, our gratitude goes to Kimerly Rorschach, former Illsley Ball Nordstrom Director and CEO, who initiated the project for SAM. Generous support for this ambitious project was provided by Presenting Sponsor ArtsFund. Special thanks to Lead Sponsor 4Culture, Major Spon- sor Robert Lehman Foundation, and Hotel Partner Four Seasons Hotel Seattle. At the Kimbell Art Museum, we would like to thank Kay and Ben Fortson, Kimbell Fortson Wynne, and the Board of Di- rectors of the Kimbell Art Foundation for their strong commitment to the project from the outset, fur- thering the mission to bring great works of art to Fort Worth. Both museums have much appreciation for their incredible staffs for presenting and interpreting this beautiful exhibition for our audiences. Amada Cruz Eric M. Lee Illsley Ball Nordstrom Director and CEO Director Seattle Art Museum Kimbell Art Museum Back in the 18th century, the “Grand Tour d’Italie” inspired and captured the imagination of many artists from across Europe. Poets, painters, musicians and artists would venture to the Italian pe- ninsula in search of their roots, connecting to the traces of an ancient past, that had a great bearing on their lives and on the forms of artistic expression they were so keenly exploring. Rightly so, for many the Grand Tour would end in Naples a city of unparalleled beauty, a kaleidoscope of diverse cultures and millenary history. In Naples, they would reach the zenith of splendidness. Nea Polis founded by the Greeks thrived and fourished throughout the centuries. This breathtaking city has been under different rulers, harbingers of new, rich and diverse cultures. The city and its people embraced the novelties while at the same time fascinating the newcomers. Until today, it continues to exhilarate, change vibrantly and stupefy. The exhibition “Flesh& Blood: Italian Masterpieces from the Capodimonte Museum” is truly im- pressive. Life, in its human and spiritual dimensions, is vividly captured in the works of artists such as Raphael, Titian, Luca Giordano, Artemisia Gentileschi, El Greco and Jusepe de Ribera. As the astounding art in display in the exhibition from the Farnese Collection and the Seventeenth Century Neapolitan school unfolds in this exquisite catalogue, the reader is overwhelmed. This spectacular exhibit is also a testament to the strong cooperation between some of the greatest cultural institutions and associations in Italy and the United States, like the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte, the Seattle Art Museum, the Kimbell Art Museum and the American Friends of Capo- dimonte. They tirelessly endeavored to renew and strengthen the bonds of friendship and deep cultural ties between our countries and people by bringing a unique glimpse of Italy to Seattle and Fort Worth. A visit to the exhibition will be an enriching experience that will foster the knowledge of one of the most impressive collections of art in Italy, and mutual respect and admiration, which our coun- tries are proud to share. Armando Varricchio Ambassador of Italy Naples is one of the oldest cities in Europe. Founded in the sixth century BCE by the Greeks, this splendid city and its bay have been occupied by a succession of rulers spanning from the Romans, Normans and Angevins to the Spanish and French. An eclectic, distinct culture emerged that con- tinues to both exhilarate and befuddle each brave soul that ventures into the bosom of its ancient avenues. Every street corner is a discovery. Every piazza, palace and church an open air museum. Rightly stated, Naples is a work of art. Overlooking this masterpiece above the city is the Museum and Royal Park of Capodimonte. Foun- ded in 1738, Capodimonte was the hunting lodge of the King of Naples, Charles of Bourbon. Char- les was a new breed of ruler for this ancient city. His Naples was no longer under the domain of a foreign power, but a newly created independent state. Charles was its sovereign in residence who ushered in a period of cultural glory that was to become the envy of Europe for over a hundred ye- ars. He spearheaded the excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum, established the San Carlo Opera House and began construction

Student of Andrea Belvedere, as his first recalls His biographer Bernardo de Dominici, [1] Baldassarre De Caro is part of a large group of painters of the Neapolitan school, specialized in still life. Among these stand out Paolo Porpora (1617–1673), Nicola Casissa (died in 1731) and Giovan Battista Ruoppolo (1629–1693). They had meditated on the Caravaggesque lesson and their works strongly bore its imprint. Baldassarre De Caro's first creations had triumphs of flowers; he then went on to paint trophies of game, animals - birds in particular - and also religious subjects. He was a painter appreciated and supported by the court of Naples. Cacciagione, a canvas that bears his signature in full, is preserved in the Museum of San Martino, likewise another of his paintings, on the same subject, but which is signed with the initials only. Cacciagione on a landscape background and another Cacciagione are at the (Pinacoteca provinciale di Salerno); the vase with a flower trophy is at the Gallerie di palazzo Zevallos, in Naples and Natura morta con il rooster is in the Queen's apartment, at the Royal palace of Naples. Giacomo Nani (1698–1755) was inspired by his game paintings. This oil on canvas painting depicting the eagle capturing a duck and one of the classic paintings that the Neapolitan master often loved to make, sometimes even cynical and sadistic.
  • The Symbolism of Blood in Two Masterpieces of the Early Italian Baroque Art

    The Symbolism of Blood in Two Masterpieces of the Early Italian Baroque Art

    The Symbolism of blood in two masterpieces of the early Italian Baroque art Angelo Lo Conte Throughout history, blood has been associated with countless meanings, encompassing life and death, power and pride, love and hate, fear and sacrifice. In the early Baroque, thanks to the realistic mi of Caravaggio and Artemisia Gentileschi, blood was transformed into a new medium, whose powerful symbolism demolished the conformed traditions of Mannerism, leading art into a new expressive era. Bearer of macabre premonitions, blood is the exclamation mark in two of the most outstanding masterpieces of the early Italian Seicento: Caravaggio's Beheading a/the Baptist (1608)' (fig. 1) and Artemisia Gentileschi's Judith beheading Halo/ernes (1611-12)2 (fig. 2), in which two emblematic events of the Christian tradition are interpreted as a representation of personal memories and fears, generating a powerful spiral of emotions which constantly swirls between fiction and reality. Through this paper I propose that both Caravaggio and Aliemisia adopted blood as a symbolic representation of their own life-stories, understanding it as a vehicle to express intense emotions of fear and revenge. Seen under this perspective, the red fluid results as a powerful and dramatic weapon used to shock the viewer and, at the same time, express an intimate and anguished condition of pain. This so-called Caravaggio, The Beheading of the Baptist, 1608, Co-Cathedral of Saint John, Oratory of Saint John, Valletta, Malta. 2 Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith beheading Halafernes, 1612-13, Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, Naples. llO Angelo La Conte 'terrible naturalism'3 symbolically demarks the transition from late Mannerism to early Baroque, introducing art to a new era in which emotions and illusion prevail on rigid and controlled representation.
  • Ribera's Drunken Silenusand Saint Jerome

    Ribera's Drunken Silenusand Saint Jerome

    99 NAPLES IN FLESH AND BONES: RIBERA’S DRUNKEN SILENUS AND SAINT JEROME Edward Payne Abstract Jusepe de Ribera did not begin to sign his paintings consistently until 1626, the year in which he executed two monumental works: the Drunken Silenus and Saint Jerome and the Angel of Judgement (Museo di Capodimonte, Naples). Both paintings include elaborate Latin inscriptions stating that they were executed in Naples, the city in which the artist had resided for the past decade and where he ultimately remained for the rest of his life. Taking each in turn, this essay explores the nature and implications of these inscriptions, and offers new interpretations of the paintings. I argue that these complex representations of mythological and religious subjects – that were destined, respectively, for a private collection and a Neapolitan church – may be read as incarnations of the city of Naples. Naming the paintings’ place of production and the artist’s city of residence in the signature formulae was thus not coincidental or marginal, but rather indicative of Ribera inscribing himself textually, pictorially and corporeally in the fabric of the city. Keywords: allegory, inscription, Naples, realism, Jusepe de Ribera, Saint Jerome, satire, senses, Silenus Full text: http://openartsjournal.org/issue-6/article-5 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5456/issn.2050-3679/2018w05 Biographical note Edward Payne is Head Curator of Spanish Art at The Auckland Project and an Honorary Fellow at Durham University.

    The Business Organisation of the Bourbon Factories

    The Business Organization of the Bourbon Factories: Mastercraftsmen, Crafts, and Families in the Capodimonte Porcelain Works and the Royal Factory at San Leucio Silvana Musella Guida Without exaggerating what was known as the “heroic age” of the reign of Charles of Bourbon of which José Joaquim de Montealegre was the undisputed doyen, and without considering the controversial developments of manufacturing in Campania, I should like to look again at manufacturing under the Bourbons and to offer a new point of view. Not only evaluating its development in terms of the products themselves, I will consider the company's organization and production strategies, points that are often overlooked, but which alone can account for any innovative capacity and the willingness of the new government to produce broader-ranging results.1 The two case studies presented here—the porcelain factory at Capodimonte (1740-1759) and the textile factory in San Leucio (1789-1860)—though from different time periods and promoted by different governments, should be considered sequentially precisely because of their ability to impose systemic innovations.2 The arrival of the new sovereign in the company of José Joaquin de Montealegre, led to an activism which would have a lasting effect.3 The former was au fait with economic policy strategy and the driving force of a great period of economic modernization, and his repercussions on the political, diplomatic and commercial levels provide 1 For Montealegre, cf. Raffaele Ajello, “La Parabola settecentesca,” in Il Settecento, edited by Giovanni Pugliese Carratelli (Naples, 1994), 7-79. For a synthesis on Bourbon factories, cf.

    The Collecting, Dealing and Patronage Practices of Gaspare Roomer

    ART AND BUSINESS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY NAPLES: THE COLLECTING, DEALING AND PATRONAGE PRACTICES OF GASPARE ROOMER by Chantelle Lepine-Cercone A thesis submitted to the Department of Art History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (November, 2014) Copyright ©Chantelle Lepine-Cercone, 2014 Abstract This thesis examines the cultural influence of the seventeenth-century Flemish merchant Gaspare Roomer, who lived in Naples from 1616 until 1674. Specifically, it explores his art dealing, collecting and patronage activities, which exerted a notable influence on Neapolitan society. Using bank documents, letters, artist biographies and guidebooks, Roomer’s practices as an art dealer are studied and his importance as a major figure in the artistic exchange between Northern and Sourthern Europe is elucidated. His collection is primarily reconstructed using inventories, wills and artist biographies. Through this examination, Roomer emerges as one of Naples’ most prominent collectors of landscapes, still lifes and battle scenes, in addition to being a sophisticated collector of history paintings. The merchant’s relationship to the Spanish viceregal government of Naples is also discussed, as are his contributions to charity. Giving paintings to notable individuals and large donations to religious institutions were another way in which Roomer exacted influence. This study of Roomer’s cultural importance is comprehensive, exploring both Northern and Southern European sources. Through extensive use of primary source material, the full extent of Roomer’s art dealing, collecting and patronage practices are thoroughly examined. ii Acknowledgements I am deeply thankful to my thesis supervisor, Dr. Sebastian Schütze.

  • Gallery Baroque Art in Italy, 1600-1700

    Gallery Baroque Art in Italy, 1600-1700

    Gallery Baroque Art in Italy, 1600-1700 The imposing space and rich color of this gallery reflect the Baroque taste for grandeur found in the Italian palaces and churches of the day. Dramatic and often monumental, this style attested to the power and prestige of the individual or institution that commissioned the works of art. Spanning the 17th century, the Baroque period was a dynamic age of invention, when many of the foundations of the modern world were laid. Scientists had new instruments at their disposal, and artists discovered new ways to interpret ancient themes. The historical and contemporary players depicted in these painted dramas exhibit a wider range of emotional and spiritual conditions. Artists developed a new regard for the depiction of space and atmosphere, color and light, and the human form. Two major stylistic trends dominated the art of this period. The first stemmed from the revolutionary naturalism of the Roman painter, Caravaggio, who succeeded in fusing intense physical observations with a profound sense of drama, achieved largely through his chiaroscuro, or use of light and shadow. The second trend was inspired by the Bolognese painter, Annibale Carracci, and his school, which aimed to temper the monumental classicism of Raphael with the optical naturalism of Titian. The expressive nature of Carracci and his followers eventually developed into the imaginative and extravagant style known as the High Baroque.

    Un Cristo Nudo Del 1400 Rivede La Luce a Lauro Scoperto Un Raro Ciclo Di

    Un Cristo nudo del 1400 rivede la luce a Lauro Scoperto un raro ciclo di affreschi del XV secolo a Lauro di Nola. Una rarità iconografica che sta meravigliando gli stessi studiosi. Il 2000, anno giubilare, è trascorso in Campania denso di manifestazioni religiose e appuntamenti culturali che hanno riavvicinato il grande pubblico non solo agli aspetti intimi della fede, ma anche alle necessarie “esteriorità”, tra queste la più ghiotta è stata senza dubbio la mostra artistica sul tema della Croce tenutasi presso la sala Carlo V nel Maschio Angioino. La mostra ricca di straordinari reperti, alcuni dei quali, preziosissimi, mai esposti prima, ha fatto seguito ad un dotto convegno sull’argomento organizzato nei mesi precedenti dal professor Boris Iulianich, emerito nell’Università di Napoli e massimo esperto di storia del Cristianesimo, che ha visto la partecipazione di ben 54 relatori provenienti da ogni angolo del globo. Per rimanere nel tema cristologico vogliamo segnalare una sensazionale scoperta avvenuta nella chiesa di Santa Maria della Pietà a Lauro di Nola (fig. 1), ove nell’ambito di un ciclo di affreschi quattrocenteschi, a lungo rimasti sepolti tra le fondamenta di una chiesa più moderna, spicca una scena del Battesimo di Cristo con un’iconografia assolutamente rara: una ostentatio genitalium in piena regola, che lascia esterrefatti, perché la raffigurazione di nostro Signore completamente nudo, in età adulta è poco meno che eccezionale. In Italia possiamo citare soltanto due altri esempi: il Crocifisso ligneo scolpito da Michelangelo nel convento di Santo Spirito in Firenze ed un mosaico nella cupola del Battistero della Cattedrale di Ravenna risalente al V secolo.

    ARTEMISIA GENTILESCHI ARTEMISIA GENTILESCHI e il suo tempo Attraverso un arco temporale che va dal 1593 al 1653, questo volume svela gli aspetti più autentici di Artemisia Gentileschi, pittrice di raro talento e straordinaria personalità artistica. Trenta opere autografe – tra cui magnifici capolavori come l’Autoritratto come suonatrice di liuto del Wadsworth Atheneum di Hartford, la Giuditta decapita Oloferne del Museo di Capodimonte e l’Ester e As- suero del Metropolitan Museum di New York – offrono un’indagine sulla sua carriera e sulla sua progressiva ascesa che la vide affermarsi a Firenze (dal 1613 al 1620), Roma (dal 1620 al 1626), Venezia (dalla fine del 1626 al 1630) e, infine, a Napoli, dove visse fino alla morte. Per capire il ruolo di Artemisia Gentileschi nel panorama del Seicento, le sue opere sono messe a confronto con quelle di altri grandi protagonisti della sua epoca, come Cristofano Allori, Simon Vouet, Giovanni Baglione, Antiveduto Gramatica e Jusepe de Ribera. e il suo tempo Skira € 38,00 Artemisia Gentileschi e il suo tempo Roma, Palazzo Braschi 30 novembre 2016 - 7 maggio 2017 In copertina Artemisia Gentileschi, Giuditta che decapita Oloferne, 1620-1621 circa Firenze, Gallerie degli Uffizi, inv. 1597 Virginia Raggi Direzione Musei, Presidente e Capo Ufficio Stampa Albino Ruberti (cat. 28) Sindaca Ville e Parchi storici Amministratore Adele Della Sala Amministratore Delegato Claudio Parisi Presicce, Iole Siena Luca Bergamo Ufficio Stampa Roberta Biglino Art Director Direttore Marcello Francone Assessore alla Crescita

    Per Una Bibliografia Illustrata Dei Ritratti Di Giambattista Marino

    ———————————— ACME – Annali della Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia dell’Università degli Studi di Milano LXIII – I – Gennaio-Aprile 2010 http://www.ledonline.it/acme PER UNA BIBLIOGRAFIA ILLUSTRATA DEI RITRATTI DI GIAMBATTISTA MARINO Effigiem ne posce animi, sat corporis esto: non illam parvo clausit Apollo libro. «Di me in Roma sono stati fatti mille ritratti, ma pochi, al mio parere, han- no colpito» (L 359): di questa lapidaria affermazione del Marino impressionano almeno due elementi: in primo luogo, un aspetto quantitativo, utile a immagi- nare il proliferare di questi ritratti; poi, un aspetto qualitativo, per cui, dietro alla capziosa attenzione del Marino per la diffusione e la ricezione della propria immagine, si cela la vanagloria dello scrittore immerso in una calibrata politica di autopromozione intellettuale e accademica. Questa dimensione, per dir così, strumentale della ritrattistica mariniana, non di rado sollevata sul piedistallo dell’autorità di artisti di grido, colloca il ritratto stesso in una posizione dominante nella formazione del fenomeno-Ma- rino, il quale, va ricordato, collocherà se stesso tra gli illustri del suo tempo pro- prio strumentalizzando l’autopoetabilità dei ritratti di sé nella Galeria. La rassegna che si presenterà nelle pagine seguenti seguirà dunque una scansione classificatoria basata sulla presenza letteraria dei ritratti riferiti: da quelli presenti nella Galeria e identificabili (1-3) a quelli versificati ma non iden- tificabili (4-7), dai ritratti non messi in versi dal Marino ma oggi noti (8-12), si- no a quelli assenti in trasposizioni poetiche e, per di più, ormai perduti (13-14). Il tutto tenendo conto che non pochi ritratti sono ancora al centro di dibattiti attributivi o almeno presentano ombre di paternità, su cui si daranno indicazio- ni e orientamenti.
