  • Pestilence and Prayer: Saints and the Art of The
    PESTILENCE AND PRAYER: SAINTS AND THE ART OF THE PLAGUE IN ITALY FROM 1370 - 1600 by JESSICA MARIE ORTEGA A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Honors in the Major Program in Art History in the College of Arts and Humanities and in The Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2012 Thesis Chair: Dr. Margaret Zaho ABSTRACT Stemming from a lack of scholarship on minor plague saints, this study focuses on the saints that were invoked against the plague but did not receive the honorary title of plague patron. Patron saints are believed to transcend geographic limitations and are charged as the sole reliever of a human aliment or worry. Modern scholarship focuses on St. Sebastian and St. Roch, the two universal plague saints, but neglects other important saints invoked during the late Medieval and early Renaissance periods. After analyzing the reasons why St. Sebastian and St. Roch became the primary plague saints I noticed that other “minor” saints fell directly in line with the particular plague associations of either Sebastian or Roch. I categorized these saints as “second-tier” saints. This categorization, however, did not cover all the saints that periodically reoccurred in plague-themed artwork, I grouped them into one more category: the “third-tier” plague saints. This tier encompasses the saints that were invoked against the plague but do not have a direct association to the arrow and healing patterns seen in Sts. Sebastian and Roch iconographies. This thesis is highly interdisciplinary; literature, art, and history accounts were all used to determine plague saint status and grouping, but art was my foundation.

  • 3 Architects, Antiquarians, and the Rise of the Image in Renaissance Guidebooks to Ancient Rome
    Anna Bortolozzi 3 Architects, Antiquarians, and the Rise of the Image in Renaissance Guidebooks to Ancient Rome Rome fut tout le monde, & tout le monde est Rome1 Drawing in the past, drawing in the present: Two attitudes towards the study of Roman antiquity In the early 1530s, the Sienese architect Baldassare Peruzzi drew a section along the principal axis of the Pantheon on a sheet now preserved in the municipal library in Ferrara (Fig. 3.1).2 In the sixteenth century, the Pantheon was generally considered the most notable example of ancient architecture in Rome, and the drawing is among the finest of Peruzzi’s surviving architectural drawings after the antique. The section is shown in orthogonal projection, complemented by detailed mea- surements in Florentine braccia, subdivided into minuti, and by a number of expla- natory notes on the construction elements and building materials. By choosing this particular drawing convention, Peruzzi avoided the use of foreshortening and per- spective, allowing measurements to be taken from the drawing. Though no scale is indicated, the representation of the building and its main elements are perfectly to scale. Peruzzi’s analytical representation of the Pantheon served as the model for several later authors – Serlio’s illustrations of the section of the portico (Fig. 3.2)3 and the roof girders (Fig. 3.3) in his Il Terzo Libro (1540) were very probably derived from the Ferrara drawing.4 In an article from 1966, Howard Burns analysed Peruzzi’s drawing in detail, and suggested that the architect and antiquarian Pirro Ligorio took the sheet to Ferrara in 1569.

It explores the complex manner in which these central Italian cities both emulated and rejected the political and cultural hegemony of Rome through the ideological and performative reinvention of its cult icons. In the twelfth century the powerful urban center of Tivoli adopted Rome’s grandest annual public event, the nocturnal Assumption procession of August 14-15, and transformed it into a potent civic expression that incorporated all sectors of the social fabric. Tivoli’s cult of the Trittico del Salvatore and the Inchinata procession in which the icon of the enthroned Christ was carried at the feast of the Assumption and made to perform in symbolic liturgical ceremonies were both modeled on Roman, papal exemplars.

  • 006-San Marco
    (006/41) Basilica di San Marco Evangelista al Campidoglio San Marco is a 9th century minor basilica and parish and titular church, on ancient foundations, located on Piazza Venezia. The dedication is to St Mark the Evangelist, patron saint of Venice, and it is the the church for Venetian expatriates at Rome. The full official name is San Marco Evangelista al Campidoglio, "St Mark the Evangelist at the Capitol". History The basilica was probably founded by Pope St. Marcus (Mark) in 336 over an older oratory, and is one of Rome's oldest churches. It stands on the site where St Marcus is said to have lived, and was known as the Titulus Pallacinae. The church is thus recorded as Titulus Marci in the 499 synod of Pope Symmachus. [1] The church was modified in the 5th century, and was left facing the opposite direction. It seems from the archaeology that the basilica had a serious fire in the same century or the next, as burnt debris was found in the stratigraphy. [1] It was reconstructed in the 8th century by Pope Adrian I (772-795). It was flooded when the Tiber rose above its banks soon after, in 791. Pope Gregory IV (827-844) was responsible for what is now considered to have been a (006/41) complete rebuilding. The orientation of the church was reversed, with the old apse being demolished and replaced by a main entrance. The old entrance was replaced by a new apse, with a mosaic in the conch which survives. However, the three windows which the apse had were later blocked.

  • Arte a Servizio Dell'incontro Con Gesù Cristo
    PRESENTAZIONE Lo scopo della presente pubblicazione, non riguarda principalmente la conoscenza del mosaico, della sua tecnica e dei capolavori a cui essa ha dato vita, ma è quello di guidare il lettore a confrontarsi con alcune opere per ascoltarne la voce, apprezzarne la bellezza e accogliere il messaggio di cui esse sono tramite. Non si riflette mai abbastanza sul fatto che, a fondamento di ciò che noi siamo – personalità, formazione, sensibilità, cultura – si trova l’esperienza, vale a dire l’incontro con qualcuno o con qualcosa che investe la sfera del nostro essere e la modifica profondamente. L’arte entra decisamente nell’esperienza personale di ciascuno e contribuisce a darle forma e ad orientarla. Pur senza fare riferimenti all’indagine filosofica, non si può non essere d’accordo con l’affermazione secondo cui l’arte è «una forma di arricchimento, intensificazione e ampliamento dell'esperienza comune»1. Essa crea un’esperienza di senso che restituisce significati, orienta alla verità, induce al pensiero del buono. Tutto ciò è ancora più vero in relazione alla cosiddetta arte cristiana, ma sarebbe meglio dire dell’arte a servizio dell’incontro con Gesù Cristo. Alla base dell’esperienza cristiana, infatti, si trova la dinamica del vedere. Bastino due citazioni, entrambe tratte dagli scritti dell’apostolo Giovanni. Nel Prologo del suo Vangelo, Giovanni afferma: «Il Verbo si fece carne e venne ad abitare in mezzo a noi; e noi vedemmo la sua gloria» (Gv 1,14); parimenti nella sua Prima Lettera, proclama che «la vita si è fatta visibile, noi l’abbiamo veduta e di ciò rendiamo testimonianza» (1 Gv 1,1-2).
