  • ELISABETTA SIRANI's JUDITH with the HEAD of HOLOFERNES By
    ELISABETTA SIRANI’S JUDITH WITH THE HEAD OF HOLOFERNES by JESSICA COLE RUBINSKI (Under the Direction of Shelley Zuraw) ABSTRACT This thesis examines the life and artistic career of the female artist, Elisabetta Sirani. The paper focuses on her unparalleled depictions of heroines, especially her Judith with the Head of Holofernes. By tracing the iconography of Judith from masters of the Renaissance into the mid- seventeenth century, it is evident that Elisabetta’s painting from 1658 is unique as it portrays Judith in her ultimate triumph. Furthermore, an emphasis is placed on the relationship between Elisabetta’s Judith and three of Guido Reni’s Judith images in terms of their visual resemblances, as well as their symbolic similarities through the incorporation of a starry sky and crescent moon.

  • Titian: Venus Anadyomene (Venus Emerging from the Sea), C 1525
    Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2015 Meet the Masters: Highlights from the Scottish National Gallery Titian: Venus Anadyomene (Venus emerging from the sea), c 1525 Louise Marshall 18/19 February 2015 Lecture summary: “In 1524 Federico Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, commissioning a work from Sebastiano del Piombo, wrote that he did not want ‘saint’s stuff [cose di sancti]’ but ‘some pictures which are attractive and beautiful to look at’. He seems to have been part of a trend.” (Peter Burke, The Italian Renaissance: culture and society in Italy,165.) Federico Gonzaga would certainly have approved of Titian’s Venus, which exemplifies the new genre of the poesie, or painted poetry, developed in Venice in the early sixteenth century with the paintings of Giorgione (d. 1510) and Titian (c. 1490?-1576). This lecture discusses the ways in which Renaissance patrons and artists looked back to the classical past for inspiration while at the same time transforming and adapting classical subject matter to suit their own purposes. We will look at the way Titian’s deceptively simple composition engages in the paragone (debate/competition) between ancient and modern art, and between painting and sculpture—since it is a recreation of a lost work by Apelles, the most famous and celebrated of all Greek painters, whose composition was known through Roman sculpted copies. In this sense it can be seen as a kind of manifesto, a triumphant proclamation of Titian’s superiority over all comers, a celebration of the power of his brush and its power to transmute paint into living, palpable flesh.

    International Journal of Art and Art History December 2017, Vol. 5, No. 2, pp. 13-18 ISSN: 2374-2321 (Print), 2374-233X (Online) Copyright © The Author(s).All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijaah.v5n2p2 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/ijaah.v5n2p2 The Narrowing of Giorgione’s Masterpiece (To the Problem of the Hermitage Judith’s Original Measurements) Ivan Sablin1 The Judith in the museum of Hermitage is one of the few universally acknowledged works by Giorgionei, perhaps the last of them to achieve this standing, for the first time in the 18th century and then definitely, more than a hundred years ago. Such works are rare. Giorgione‟s authorship of even the Castelfranco Madonna has been (recently) contestedii, not to mention a much more complex case of Dresden Venusiii. The most rigorous approach to the size of Giorgione‟s œuvre leaves the artist with only the Three Philosophers in Vienna and the Tempest in Venice, along with the Judith (in spite of some earlier opinions, which have been rejected long ago). None of these attributions is based upon a documentary evidence, be that a verified signature or any archival source, for the only work documented in artist‟s lifetime is the one executed for Fondaco dei tedeschiiv, a fresco cycle long lost to a salty air of Serenissima, its pitiful remains (on show at Franchetti gallery) offering no chance to draw stylistic conclusions for the identification of the other works in question. Yet it is precisely the stylistic analysis that all accepted attributions to Giorgione rely upon, adding to the scarce historic testimonies of not always a trustworthy nature.
