  • 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.

    anticSwiss 02/10/2021 13:24:33 http://www.anticswiss.com Luigi Amidani (1591-1629), Holy Family with S. Giovannino FOR SALE ANTIQUE DEALER Period: 17° secolo -1600 Ars Antiqua srl Milano Style: Alta epoca +39 02 29529057 393664680856 Height:32cm Width:26cm Material:Olio su tavola Price:3600€ DETAILED DESCRIPTION: Luigi Amidani (Parma, 1591 - 1629) Holy Family with Saint John Oil on wood, 32 x 26 cm The work in question depicts the Holy Family with the Virgin holding the baby Jesus while he is playing with Saint John handing him the Cross, while Saint Joseph remains aloof on the background of an elaborate woodland landscape. Of great intensity and humanity are the two children who play tenderly together, while the parents assist by paying attention to their little son. The panel shows Luigi Amidani (Parma, 1591 - 1629), a relative of the painter Giulio Cesare Amidani, in the hand of a painter active in the workshop of Bartolomeo Schedoni (Modena, 1578 - Parma, 1615) and very close to his ways in the realization of the Madonnas. , best known to eighteenth-century critics and confused with Luigi until the last century, when his figure as a painter became clear. Luigi continuously studies Schedoni's Madonnas (see the Coronation of the Virgin in the Private Collection), starting with his pupil with the artist in 1607. Together the two Emilians also work on the decoration of the nine chapels in the abbey of Fontevivo, of which only three paintings by Schedoni remain (San Pietro, San Paolo and San Sebastiano, Museo di Capodimonte) and a couple of Amidani still preserved in Naples.

  • In Pursuit of Caravaggio
    IN PURSUIT OF CARAVAGGIO 21 November 2016 – 27 January 2017 38 Dover Street, W1S 4NL, London Robilant+Voena are pleased to present In Pursuit of Caravaggio at their London gallery from 21 November 2016 to 27 January 2017. Robilant+Voena is the premier international gallery for the Caravaggesque, paintings by the European artists who flocked to Rome around 1600 and fuelled an artistic revolution instigated by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1573-1610). Timed to coincide with the National Gallery of Art’s exhibition Beyond Caravaggio, In Pursuit of Caravaggio is an exhibition which will display an exceptional group of Caravaggesque paintings as a vehicle to explore the profound way that art dealers have informed and influenced the reception of the controversial art of Caravaggio and his followers. The years proceeding Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio’s (1573-1610) arrival in Rome in the late summer of 1592 were transformative in the history of western art. Caravaggio landed in the Eternal City and both scandalised and delighted artistic patrons with his brutally naturalist style. His manner was revolutionary and stood counter to the classical idealism of traditional Roman painters. His influence was profound and he quickly garnered a following of both artists and patrons. So when Caravaggio, at the height of his fame, left Rome in 1606, his insistence not to take pupils or to run an organised workshop left no obvious successor to fill the extraordinary demand for commissions. But Rome was filled with artists who were inspired by Caravaggio’s methods. These artists adopted the tenets of Caravaggio’s art (a realistic depiction of figures, dramatic subject matter, and use of chiaroscuro, a high contrast of light to dark) and gave birth to one of the most expressive and beautiful artistic movements of all time.

  • Notice Biographique : French Painter and Draughtsman
    Musée des Beaux-arts de Nancy 274 L'Amour qui se venge Auteur Vouet Simon ; Nom : Vouet Prénom : Simon Lieu de naissance : Paris Date de naissance : 1590 Lieu de décès : Paris Date de décès : 1649 Notice biographique : French painter and draughtsman. Although at the time regarded as one of the leading French painters of the first half of the 17th century, he is now known more for his influence on French painting than for his actual oeuvre. He made his reputation in Italy, where he executed numerous portraits for aristocratic patrons and was commissioned for religious subjects. Although the early Italian works show the influence of Caravaggio, his work was subsequently modified by the Baroque style of such painters as Lanfranco and the influence of the Venetian use of light and colour. When he was summoned back to France by Louis XIII in 1627 he thus brought with him an Italian idiom hitherto unknown in France that revitalized French painting (see France, §III, 3). His style became highly popular among Parisian aristocrats who saw in Vouet a painter capable of decorating their hôtels and châteaux in a manner that would rival the palazzi of their Italian counterparts. He quickly established a large workshop through which passed many of the leading French painters of the mid-17th century. There followed numerous commissions for allegorical works, religious subjects and decorative paintings for royal residences and the burgeoning hôtels and châteaux in and around Paris. The schemes introduced a new type of illusionistic decoration with steep perspective that influenced a generation of decorative painters.
