4 5 Forewords Acquisition Highlights Francesco d’Ubertini Verdi The Virgin and Child with the Young Saint John the Baptist In fall 2006, VMFA and Virginia Commonwealth University opened the collaborative exhibition, Artificial Light, organized Pair of Livery Pots by John Ravenal, the Sydney and Frances Lewis Family Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. Following its presentation in Richmond, Artificial Light traveled to the Pierre Bonnard Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in North Miami, in The Dining Room conjunction with Art Basel Miami Beach 2006.

The museum was far from quiet during spring 2007. Rule Charles Sprague Pearce Britannia! Art, Royalty and Power in the Age of Jamestown opened Pienes de Coeur (Heartbreak) in April and Noble Silver: The Jerome and Rita Gans Collection of English Silver opened in February. To mark the occasion of the Murry DePillars redesigned gallery, Rita Gans presented VMFA with 16 From The Mississippi Delta additional pieces of silver from her private collection.

Other notable art acquisitions from the past year included major gifts from prominent donors: 23 French objects from the Estate of Paul Mellon and 327 Japanese woodblock prints by Kawase Hasui from René and Carolyn Hsu-Balcer. The museum also made the fourth and final payment on the gift-purchase agree- ment with Robert and Nancy Nooter (the agreement resulted in 129 African objects coming to the museum’s collection).

Noteworthy purchases made in the past year included The Virgin and Child with Young Saint John the Baptist by Il Bacchiacca (featured on the cover of this Annual Report), Peines de Coeur by Charles Sprague Pearce, and a 12th-century Indian sculpture of a Celestial Maiden.

On the successes of 2006– 07, we look forward to an even more fruitful year in 2007– 08. I hope you enjoy these delights with us.

6 7 Acquisition Highlights Francesco d’Ubertini Verdi

This 16th-century Florentine altarpiece by a well-established painter is a major addition to VMFA’s collection. Francesco d’Ubertini Verdi (called Il Bacchiacca) was born in Florence in 1484. Like Raphael, he was trained by Pietro Perugino. He became a leader of the first generation of Mannerist painters and counted the Medici family among his primary patrons. He created many altarpieces in Florence, working alongside artists such as Andrea del Sarto and Agnolo Bronzino. The Virgin and Child with the Young Saint John the Baptist may be considered his best-preserved large-scale figural composition and also one of his masterpieces.

It depicts elements of both High-Renaissance and Mannerist styles. The subject The Virgin and Child with the derives from Leonardo da Vinci’s Madonna of the Rocks. The scale of the Madonna Young Saint John the Baptist, ca. 1540s, by Francesco d’Ubertini and her relief-like appearance recall High Renaissance images such as Raphael’s Verdi (called Il Bacchiacca), oil late Madonnas. References to Michelangelo are in the costume and hairstyle of on panel, 58 1/4 inches high by the Virgin, her pose (deriving from the Medici Madonna), and the posture of 44 1/2 inches wide (Museum Purchase, The Arthur and the Baptist. The overall coloring also shows a debt to Michelangelo’s Sistine Margaret Glasgow Fund and Chapel ceiling, while the whitish light compares to the work of Agnolo Various Donors, by exchange, 2007.16 ) Bronzino. The infant Christ probably is a witty recasting of an ancient river god, most likely the Tiber. The figures in the background are from The Beggars by Lucas van Leyden. The well-defined plants and flowers in the foreground, while possibly possessing symbolic meaning, testify to the artist’s interest in natural history, also fostered by the Medici. Mixing and selecting of widely differing sources is typical of Mannerism and Bacchiacca himself (hence his nickname, which literally means to beat down ripe fruit from trees with a long stick).

This painting enhances the museum’s representation of works from a pivotal era in European art history and offers opportunities for school groups to study a period addressed in the Virginia Standards of Learning.

9 Acquisition Highlights Pair of Livery Pots

This pair of silver-gilt livery pots, used for serving wine, is the most important group of early 17th-century English silver to be acquired by any American museum in recent years. Marked London in 1602/03, they are distinguished by their delicate surface decoration and their pristine condition. As the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts celebrates the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, it is ironically fitting that these livery pots enter the museum’s collection.

These are among 16 notable English silver objects that extend the chronological range of the museum’s Jerome and Rita Gans Collection. Now numbering 103 pieces, the Collection was formed by Mr. and Mrs. Gans between the mid 1960s and the late 1990s. The New York couple lent it to the museum in 1988, and Mrs. Gans gave much of the collection to VMFA in 1996 following her husband’s death. Among the outstanding objects are pieces by the greatest silversmiths of the 18th and 19th centuries, most notably Paul de Lamerie and Paul Storr, and the renowned silver retailer Robert Garrard.

The new objects join others in the museum’s Gans Collection, now one of Pair of Livery Pots, 1602/03, the world’s finest arrays of English silver, and secures VMFA’s position as a English, maker’s mark: TE in destination for the study and appreciation of English silver. monogram, silver gilt, 13 1/2 inches high by 8 1/8 inches wide each (with handle) (Gift of Mrs. Rita R.

11 Acquisition Highlights Pierre Bonnard

Pierre Bonnard worked on The Dining Room for many years, up to the year of his death. Though tinged with an unusual mystery and pathos, the result might be considered a summation of the themes and artistic devices that obsessed him throughout his career. The dining table was a common subject in Bonnard’s paintings, and marked, lively contrasts of pattern and color are also a feature of his early work.

Remarkable here is how the artist greatly monumentalized a simple and commonplace piece of household furniture. Presented almost as a secular altar, the table seems to embody the very idea of family, the household, and bourgeois abundance. The forms of background and foreground merge together, and the steep perspective of the tabletop creates an illusory vibrating surface in which the strongly charged colors cause the forms to oscillate.

The grandeur of scale, intensity of color, and brushwork differentiate this painting The Dining Room, ca. 1940– 46, from earlier treatments of interiors, such as Open Window, and endow the work by Pierre Bonnard (French, 1867–1947), oil on canvas, 33 with deep significance. inches high by 39 1/2 inches wide (Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bonnard received a rigorous education at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand. He attended Mellon, 2006.46) the famous Académie Julian and became friends with Maurice Denis and Edouard Vuillard. With Denis and others, Bonnard was a founding member of the Nabis (Hebrew for “Prophet”) group, which was active about 1888 to 1900. In Paris, he moved in the literary circles of the Revue Blanche and illustrated the absurdist and infantilist works of Alfred Jarry, author of Ubu-roi.

Standing somewhat apart from the main currents of art history during his lifetime, Bonnard appreciated Fauvism and had a lifelong friendship with Matisse; however, he did not participate in Cubism or in any of the more radical art movements of the 20th century. Nevertheless, he is a major, although idiosyncratic, figure.

Dr. Mitchell Merling Paul Mellon Curator and Head of the Department of European Art

13 Acquisition Highlights Charles Sprague Pearce

In this narrative of romantic loss and consolation, Charles Sprague Pearce renders a tour-de-force demonstration of his talents as a figurative and landscape painter, blending Realist and Impressionist tendencies. He contrasts the highly finished rustic naturalism of the figures with the more fluidly painted landscape through different viewpoints: the close-up and the panoramic. The placement of the figures in the foreground draws viewers into an intimate moment between the two young women, while the tiered landscape conveys an expansive rural setting.

At the 1885 Paris Salon, critics remarked on the “striking” effect of these combined styles and perspectives, harmonized by an encompassing natural light and luminous color scheme. American writer Alfred Trumble commended Pearce as a painter of peasants: “ . . . the first in merit and in power, and among the most poetic in the subtle delicacy with which he brightens his subjects by an airy charm of color and light.”

The work also represents a significant period in Pearce’s life. Born and trained in Peines de Coeur (Heartbreak), Boston, he traveled to Paris, studied with the leading Salon painter Leon Bonnat, ca. 1884, by Charles Sprague became a key figure in American expatriate circles by the mid 1870s, and Pearce (American, 1851–1914), oil on canvas, 615/8 inches high purchased a farm in the Picardy region in 1884, where he would live for the next by 47 3/4 inches wide (Museum 30 years. He had a specially designed glass-enclosed plein-air (outdoor) studio that Purchase, The J. Harwood and Louise B. Cochrane Fund for allowed him to work in natural light year around. Peines de Coeur was his first American Art, 2007.17) painting from that residency.

Peines de Coeur is a significant addition to the museum’s American art collection. A prizewinning and well known picture in Pearce’s day, the work continues to impress in its ambition, accomplishment, and painterly delights.

Dr. Sylvia Yount Louise B. and J. Harwood Cochrane Curator of American Art

15 Acquisition Highlights Murry DePillars

This painting is rich in African symbolism and the quilting aesthetic of the Mississippi Delta’s African-American women. It was inspired by a play by Endesha Ida Mae Holland, a Mississippi author whose life went from tragedies to triumphs.

Murry DePillars embedded the composition with layers of symbolic and protective imagery. The central figure of the painting is a little girl who waves goodbye to the hostile environment of her birth. A dot pattern forming a halo around her symbolizes her aura, her ancestral guardians, and her ability to transcend the traumas forced upon her at an early age. Mississippi Delta quilt patterns, known as “windmills” or “cartwheels,” in each corner are metaphors for moving quickly through life’s underbelly. Other images—silhouetted nudes, serpents, the dress with purple hem—symbolize and encapsulate the playwright’s own dramatic evolution.

DePillar’s sensitive treatment of these themes incorporates a palette alternating From the Mississippi Delta, between vibrant and deep colors, thoughtful use of geometry, and fine 1997, by Murry DePillars (born brushwork honed over the course of his career. A leading figure in Chicago’s 1938), acrylic on canvas, 42 1/2 inches wide by 32 1/2 inches high Black Art Movement in the 1960s and a member of the noted arts collective (Gift of the Friends of African & AfriCobra, he became Dean of the School of Arts of Virginia Commonwealth African-American Art, 2006.248) University in 1976.
