  • Opening a Museum for Everyone
    From One Louvre to Another: Opening a Museum for Everyone Jean Garnier (Meaux, 1632–Paris, 1705) Allegory of Louis XIV, Protector of Arts and Sciences 1672. Oil on canvas. H. 163; W. 204 cm Versailles, Musée National des Châteaux de Versailles et de Trianon, MV 2184. Provenance: Presented at the Academy on 30 January 1672 as a reception piece; confiscated during the Revolution in 1793; Dépôt de Nesle in 1796; Musée Spéciale de l’École Française à Versailles, Dogs’ Antechamber in Versailles under Louis-Philippe. In painting this reception piece at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, Jean Garnier was giving an astute response to the subject that had been imposed upon him. He was first instructed to paint the ‘Portrait du Roy en tableau, au milieu de divers fruictz et instruments des Arts’ [Portrait of the King in a tableau, surrounded by various fruits and instruments of the Arts]. This may seem a strange choice as it induced him to present the portrait of Louis XIV in an oval frame, suspended on braids by a red ribbon, which at first glance seems to reduce it to a purely decorative item in the midst of all the other elements comprising the still life. The work, however, is open to several levels of interpretation. Indeed, its symbolic nature did not escape contemporary viewers: ‘The King appears surrounded by fruit and a number of musical instruments, signifying in allegorical fashion the bounty of the kingdom and the harmony and concord that prevail in the government of the State.’ Louis XIV dominates the scene.

The updated version of Morse’s key to the pictures presented here reflects current scholarship. Although Morse never identified the people represented in his painting, this key includes the possible identities of some of them. Exiting the gallery are a woman and little girl dressed in provincial costumes, suggesting the broad appeal of the Louvre and the educational benefits it afforded. PEOPLE 19.

  • Myth Homeric Hymn Assignment
    Left: Artemision Bronze (Zeus or Poseidon). c. 460 BCE. National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Above: Hades and Persephone. Attic red figure kylix, attributed to the Codrus Painter. ca. 430 BCE. British Museum Project Assignment: Homeric Hymn For this project, you will write a “mini” Homeric Hymn (mini as opposed to the longer Homeric Hymns we have read) to the god of your choice. Your hymn should not exceed one page in length and should include the major formal elements of Hymns that we have discussed in class: 1) Address to/identification of the deity 2) Praise of the deity • Birth/parentage • Sedes (“abodes”): birthplace, major cult sites, favorite cities/areas • Timai: powers, responsibilities, spheres of influence • Attributes • Epithets 3) [Mythical narrative—optional] 4) Farewell/request You may want to look over the slides from 8.24.18 (specifically, the sections on attributes and epithets) and 9.21.18 (on elements of hymns) for more details. See also the examples of hymns on the following page. Lists of epithets and cult sites for the major deities are available on theoi.com but you should feel free to modify these and even invent your own! Projects will be graded on the following criteria: 1) Inclusion of the required formal elements (50%). You must include items 1, 2, and 4 from the list above and item 2 must include at least 3 of the possible elements bullet-pointed below. 2) Originality/creativity (50%). You will not receive full credit for simply re-writing a pre-existing hymn in more “contemporary” language! Below are some examples of “real” Homeric Hymns.

  • Market Values in Eighteenth-Century Rome
    Market values in eighteenth-century Rome Review of: The Art Market in Rome in the Eighteenth Century: A Study in the Social History of Art, edited by Paolo Coen, Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2018 [Studies in the History of Collecting and Art Markets, vol. 5], xii + 234 pp., 80 colour illus., €116/$134 hdbk, ISBN 978-90-04-33699-5. Jeffrey Collins Anyone who doubts that a society’s art market reveals its underlying values need only consider the case of Inigo Philbrick, the high-flying young dealer who sold investors overlapping shares of the same blue-chip contemporary works and who was recently apprehended in Vanuatu. The present volume boasts no one quite so colourful, though it too concerns a moment in which the business side of art acquired new prominence. Based on an international congress held at Rome’s Palazzo Barberini, the anthology’s ten chapters consider diverse facets of art’s production, circulation, and recirculation in early modern Rome, unfortunately not all centred on the time and place announced in the title. This is a limitation in a study of art markets, which are typically localized and responsive to shifting conditions. While less focused than one would wish, the collection nonetheless illuminates a key phase in the market’s development while contextualizing our own age of glossy magazines, glamorous fairs, ‘specullectors’, and illicit trafficking of cultural property. Both symposium and anthology reflect the efforts of Paolo Coen, professor of the history of art at the Università degli Studi di Teramo, to bring to Rome something of the economic perspective long established in studies of the seventeenth-century Netherlands.

It has been accepted for inclusion by an authorized administrator of The uC pola. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Artemis: Depictions of Form and Femininity in Sculpture Abstract Grecian sculpture has been the subject of investigation for centuries. More recently, however, emphasis in the field of Art History on the politics of gender and sexuality portrayal have opened new avenues for investigation of those old statues. In depicting gender, Ancient Greek statuary can veer towards the non- binary, with the most striking examples being works depicting Hermaphroditos and ‘his’ bodily form. Yet even within the binary, there are complications. Depictions of the goddess Artemis are chief among these complications of the binary, with even more contradiction, subtext, and varied interpretation than representations of Amazons. The umen rous ways Artemis has been portrayed over the years highlight her multifarious aspects, but often paint a contradictory portrait of her femininity. Is she the wild mother? The asexual huntress? Or is she a tempting virgin, whose purity is at risk? Depictions of her in sculptural form, deliberately composed, offer answers.
