These tribulations are best exemplified in the tale of Taddeo Zuccaro, a young lad who left his home on the eastern coast of Italy at the tender age of 14 to pursue a career as an artist in the great metropolis of Rome. His tenuous journey of starvation, deprivation, sickness, and ultimately triumph—sensitively recounted by his younger brother, Federico, who would himself become an artist of great significance—will be celebrated in a major international loan exhibition organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum. On view at the Getty Center, October 2, 2007 through January 6, 2008, Taddeo and Federico Zuccaro: Artist-Brothers in Renaissance Rome is the first exhibition devoted to the artist-brothers that focuses on their relationship and brings together some of their greatest drawings.

Depicting the Heavens: the Use of Astrology in the Frescoes of Renaissance Rome1 ______
Depicting the Heavens: The Use of Astrology in the Frescoes of Renaissance Rome1 _________________________________________________________________ Emily Urban Abstract. This paper explores the use of astrological imagery in four ceiling frescoes painted during the Renaissance in Rome: the scenes of the Sala di Galatea in the Villa Farnesina, and those of the Stanza della Segnatura, the Sala dei Pontefici, and the Sala Bologna, all within the Vatican Palace. Significantly this imagery was not confined to the pages of private manuscripts as it had been in the Middle Ages, but took the form of frescoes on the walls and ceilings of public rooms, allowing viewers to bask in the celestial glory of the patron. Commissioned in 1575 by Pope Gregory XIII, I argue that the Sala Bologna imagery represents a critical juncture in attitudes toward natural philosophy, and demonstrates a shift from astrological interpretation, as condemned at the Council of Trent, to astronomical calculation, as promoted by the Catholic Church. I argue that the placement of these murals demonstrates that this type of pictorial aggrandizement was intended to reach a wide audience and was used by the patron, popes being the most prominent among these, as a form of visual self-promotion. I also examine how contemporaneous events - notably the Protestant Reformation and the Council of Trent - affected astrological practice and the monumental display of these horoscopes. Astrological imagery is not limited to Rome, but the four examples I discuss represent the peak of such decoration and offer insight into a widespread feature of early modern Italian culture that has yet to be adequately explored.

Judy Olmer's Trip to Rome This Was My Fifth Or Sixth Visit to Rome
Judy Olmer’s Trip to Rome This was my fifth or sixth visit to Rome, though not for many years now. I don't know that I saw much that was "brand new," but I saw several places that had undergone wonderful archeological or conservation work since I wandered around with my guidebook on my first visit in 1977, and I did it with an excellent guide and a congenial group from around the US. For all we read about their problems, things looked pretty wonderful. The Romans and the Italian government, with, I assume, lots of contributions from the EU and philanthropists from elsewhere, have invested in these world treasures. And yes, it did take my mind mostly off our horrendous election! It was a one-week trip with Smithsonian Journeys (unusual) focused only on Rome. And there were only 11 of us, with a Smithsonian manager and a first-rate local guide, very strong on art and archeology. So much work had been done on the Coliseum since 1977, and the Sistine Chapel ceiling had been restored (or cleaned) and looked very different. The Borghese Gallery is now run completely differently and more professionally (I assume) than it was in the 80's, when I attempted to visit it. And we toured an excavation beneath the main altar at St. Peter's which was designed to figure out if the bones of St. Peter were indeed where they were supposed to be and an examination of portions of an extensive cemetery from that early AD period, all of which is now under the Vatican.

Rome, the Eternal City ARHS 3913 | ARHS 6813* Prof
New Spring 2017 Course! Rome, The Eternal City ARHS 3913 | ARHS 6813* Prof. Leslie Geddes Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:30–10:45am Woldenberg Art Center, Room 210 For millennia, Rome has served as a nexus of power and artistic excellence rendered in service to powerful clients, from emperors to popes and the scions of the city's most powerful families. This course examines the city through its special status as the former center of the Roman Empire and its place as the spiritual heart of the Roman Catholic Church. We will survey the city and its artistic production from its early Christian period and its medieval decline to its resurgence under the papacy in the Renaissance and Baroque eras through the nineteenth-century unification of Italy and the advent of Mussolini. Our principle focus will emphasize its richest, most influential period of art production: c. 1500-1700. We will examine the commissioning of some of the most iconic works of art in the Western world, from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and Raphael's School of Athens to Bernini's Four Rivers Fountain and Caravaggio's Calling of St. Matthew. An interrogation of the city's architectural marvels, including the monumental renovation and decoration of St. Peter's Basilica and the construction of urban and suburban palaces such as the Villa Medici and the Villa Farnesina will ground our understanding of how power was expressed through the built environment. Major themes to be covered include the revival of antiquity; artistic rivalry; the representation of the city in print; rituals, pageants, and processions; Grand Tour-ism and Rome's role as the capital of an international 'Republic of Letters.' Rigorously examining centuries of cultural production, we will consider how – despite radical shifts in religious and secular power – the city of Rome maintained its centrality to European culture by continually reinventing itself.
