Piacenza Musei, Because of Two Important Contexts: the 20Th Anniversary of Our Association and the Extraordinary Event of EXPO Milan 2015 Piacenza &itsprovince Museums | Churches | Palaces Museums& Land Monuments | Theatres Guidebook Castles | Landscapes | Taste Museums&Land Guidebook PIACENZA &itsprovince piacenzamusei.it Why this Guidebook? 2015 will remain an important year for Piacenza Musei, because of two important contexts: the 20th anniversary of our association and the extraordinary event of EXPO Milan 2015. This Guidebook is another important and useful instrument created by Piacenza Musei to help you discover – and learn more about – Piacenza, called La Primogenita, its art, museums, architecture, landscapes and its province. The newest edition of the pocket Guide of Piacenza Musei, hold the history, culture, traditions, aromas, flavours and images of the city of Piacenza and its province conducting the reader through the paved city streets, accompanying him on the roads surrounded by green landscapes along our four valleys and offering him a taste of that vibrant, colourful essence, which identifies us and our territory. This Guidebook illustrates and explains an extraordinarily rich heritage, which deserves to be celebrated and appreciated nationally and internationally. It is the culmination of the painstaking research, organization and management needed to put it all together. With this publication we reach another goal – a new addition to the way, which brought the Association Piacenza Musei to the creation of important products, like Panorama Musei (the official magazine with information about artistic and cultural activities in town and around the province, distributed in Italy) and Portale Piacenza Musei (online instrument with Piacenza and province’s treasures). Of course, we also organize many initiatives and cultural events so people can learn to love our history, our traditions, and our amazing artistic, architectural and panoramic jewels. I believe this is the right way to follow. I would like to thank all of those people who collaborated to create this valuable publication: the scientific commission, the directors, coordinators and managers of the museums and artistic venues, as well as all those people who work in the museums, history and art sectors and supported and guided the writing, editing and drafting of this publication, as well as the professional associations, consortia and private companies who helped us financially.

Ma ricordo di aver pensato fin dalle prime righe che l’argomento meritasse maggior attenzione, soprattutto dal punto di vista della storia della pittura, anche perché le mie competenze sulla fotografia degli esordi all’epoca erano pressoché nulle. In quell’intervento intitolato Domenico Bresolin, un maestro del XIX secolo, comparivano una serie di nomi collegati a questo artista, per me allora sconosciuto, che mi stupirono profondamente: John Ruskin, Leopoldo Alinari, Giacomo Caneva, Pietro Selvatico, Guglielmo Ciardi, Federico Zandomeneghi e così via.

  • Caricature of a Man in a Tall Hat Pen and Brown Ink, Over Traces of an Underdrawing in Black Chalk
    Marco RICCI (Belluno 1676 - Venice 1730) Caricature of a Man in a Tall Hat Pen and brown ink, over traces of an underdrawing in black chalk. 161 x 110 mm. (6 3/8 x 4 3/8 in.) Among the artists working in Venice, only a handful produced caricature drawings in pen and ink, notably Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and Anton Maria Zanetti. Like Tiepolo, Marco Ricci may have been inspired by the caricature pen drawings of such 17th century artists as Annibale Carracci, Pier Francesco Mola and Guercino. The attribution of this drawing to Ricci was first proposed by Janos Scholz. Although not itself related to a print, the present sheet is likely to date from the last years of Marco Ricci’s career, when he produced most of his printed work. The figure depicted in this drawing is in turn found at the centre of a larger drawn composition of brigands in a landscape, formerly in the Miotti collection, which was on the art market in Italy in 1986. Among stylistically comparable figure drawings by the artist are a study of Three Men Resting near a Pyramid in the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, MA and a drawing of Pilgrims Resting in the Princeton University Art Museum; the latter was reproduced as a print by Ricci. Also of the same type is a signed pen drawing of Peasants Before a Portable Shrine in the British Museum, which was also a study for an etching, while of closer dimensions to the present sheet is a pen drawing of A Slovenian Soldier in the Museo Correr in Venice.

  • The Men of Letters and the Teaching Artists: Guattani, Minardi, and the Discourse on Art at the Accademia Di San Luca in Rome in the Nineteenth Century
    The men of letters and the teaching artists: Guattani, Minardi, and the discourse on art at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome in the nineteenth century Pier Paolo Racioppi The argument of whether a non-artist was qualified to write about art famously dates back as far as the Renaissance.1 Through their writings, Cennino Cennini (c. 1360-before 1427), Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), and Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574) consolidated the auctoritas of artists by developing a theoretical discourse on art.2 Two centuries later, Anton Raphael Mengs (1728-1779), who was also Prince of the Accademia di San Luca between 1771 and 1772, even achieved the title of ‘philosopher-painter.’3 As for men of letters, the classicist theory of the Horatian ut pictura poesis, the analogy of painting and poetry, allowed them to enter the field of art criticism. From the Renaissance onwards, the literary component came to prevail over the visual one. As Cristopher Braider writes, the two terms of the equation ‘as painting, so poetry’ were ultimately reversed in ‘as poetry, so painting’,4 and consequently ‘it is to this reversal that we owe the most salient and far-reaching features of ut pictura aesthetics’.5 Invention, a purely intellectual operation of conceiving the subject (as in Aristotle’s Poetics and Rhetoric), thus rests at the base of the creative process for both poetry and painting. Consequently, due to its complex inherent features, history painting became the highest form of invention and the pinnacle of painting genres, according to the Aristotelian scheme of the Poetics (ranging from the representation of the inanimate nature to that of the human actions) as applied to the visual arts.6 I am grateful to Angela Cipriani and Stefania Ventra for their comments and suggestions.

  • Laura Stagno Figurae Mariae Iconography of the Virgin and Of
    Laura Stagno Figurae Mariae Iconography of the Virgin and of Her Biblical Prefigurations in Early Modern Decorative Cycles in the Republic of Genoa UDC: 75.04(450.42Genoa)”15/16” Laura Stagno University of Genoa, Italy [email protected] In the last years of the 16th century and then in the 17th century, the Republic of Genoa became an advanced laboratory for the dissemination of Marian images, in some cases reinforced by the association with the biblical heroines who were consid- ered to be the Virgin’s prefigurations in the Old Testament. The richness and complexity of the typological parallels between such crucial iconographies as Mary’s Assumption and her Immaculate Conception on the one hand, and the figures of Eve (a negative typus), Judith and Esther on the other hand, developed in post-Tridentine literature and homiletics, found a per- suasive visual translation in frescoes by prominent Genoese painters such as Andrea Ansaldo, Giulio Benso, Giovanni Battista Carlone and Domenico Piola, often commissioned by religious orders, as militant art aimed at asserting Catholic doctrines. Keywords: Genoese 17th century painting, Genoese fresco cycles, biblical prefigurations of Mary, Eve, Judith, Esther, Jael, Assumption, Immaculate Conception “Glorious Queen, and Merciful Advocate” – this is how the Jesuit Vincenzo Bruno, building on a long and rich tradition rooted in patristic literature, defined the Virgin Mary in the address to the reader that opens his influential Meditations on the Virgin’s festivities, first published in 1585 and frequently reissued. 1 These two se- mantic poles - the glory on the one hand, and the role of mediatrix2 on the other hand - are at the centre of the celebration of the Madonna’s role undertaken by a vast number of Catholic authors and preachers in the Triden- tine and post-Tridentine era.

Un paesaggio, quello montano, segnato da un’estesa e densa copertura forestale, sporadicamente interrotta da isole di coltivi e pascoli e attraversata da importanti ecosistemi fluviali e torrentizi (alto corso del fiume Bisenzio, fiume Reno, torrente Pescia). Tra le componenti di maggior peso del sistema rurale ed inse- diativo montano emerge il ruolo di diversificazione paesaggistica ed ecologica svolto dai prati-pascolo, dai mosaici colturali di assetto tradizionale e da alcuni tessuti a campi chiu- si, il valore storico-testimoniale degli intorni coltivati dei piccoli borghi montani e dei prati-pascolo, oltre al sistema di edifici preindustriali della montagna pistoiese.

    Sebastiano Ricci (Belluno 1659 - Venice 1734) The Sermon on the Mount oil on canvas 42 x 59.5 cm (16½ x 23½ in) “And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain; and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying” -Matthew 5:1-2 Under a moonlit sky, through evocative, hazy lighting and a fluid handling of the rich Venetian palette, Sebastiano Ricci atmospherically captures the moment when Christ delivers His sermon on a mountainside to His disciples and a crowd of followers. Swathed in a blue toga and seated cross-legged beneath a curving tree, the figure of Christ, with one hand clutching His chest and the other held up in mid-oration, clearly captivates His surrounding audience. Above Him, an entwined pair of putti hover, while the only figure standing holds his hands together in prayer. Reverently kneeling in front of Christ a disciple is lit by a shaft of light which catches the soft tone of his flesh and the terracotta and green fabric of his tunic. Two older, bearded men sit in the shadows alongside Christ. They, like the kneeling figure, listen to His words with apparent awe and admiration, evident in their concentrated expressions. There are currently three known preparatory drawings for The Sermon on the Mount. The Louvre’s Jesus Teaching the Apostles, explores the arrangement of the five foreground figures. The figures’ positioning is very close to the finished oil, as Ricci perfects the pyramidal composition. The fact that the appearance of the figures is very different in the two works, especially that of the kneeling disciple, demonstrates how Ricci’s concern was with composition in the Louvre’s drawing.
