Language: Collection material is in English Biographical / Historical German-born photographer and scholar Max Hutzel (1911-1988) photographed in Italy from the early 1960s until the late 1980s, resulting in a vast body of photographs that he referred to as "Foto arte minore." Over the years he amassed a collection of about one million negatives and sold his photographs to individual scholars for publication and to institutions such as the Biblioteca Herziana, the National Gallery in Washington, and the Kunsthistorische Institut in Florence. He used the revenue from these sales, in addition to some financial support he received from his brother in Germany, to continue his work until his death. Hutzel studied printmaking and graphics in Stuttgart. Impressed by Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus School, he developed a deep interest in photography and studied with Paul Wolff. After World War II, he settled in Italy and by the beginning of the 1960's, he had devoted himself to the photographic documentation of art and architecture. Applying techniques and aesthetic solutions he learned from the Bauhaus movement, Hutzel's approach went beyond the purely documentary. His photography represented his artistic interpretation of Italian art and his sense of being in a specific place. He compared himself to the European scholars and researchers who traveled through Italy drawing in their notebooks as they studied the history and archeological artifacts of the region. Hutzel comprehensively documented lesser known monuments, attempting to include everything that is connected with art historical development in Italy up to the 18th century: architecture, sculpture, wall painting, panel painting, museum objects and religious artifacts from the Etruscan and Roman civilizations and the early Medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods. In order to document architecture within its topographical context, he often photographed general and panoramic views of towns seen from afar, streets, and clusters of buildings. He also provided a glimpse of the social context by sometimes including residents, passersby, and vehicles. Other Finding Aid The Photo Archive Database also provides access to this collection.

Separated Material A number of Hutzel photographs and approximately 800 photographs by Hutzel's assistant, Roberto Sigismondi, were removed from this collection and interfiled with the core collection of the repository's Photo Archive. Scope and Content of Collection Max Hutzel's "Foto arte minore" project comprises thorough photographic documentation of art historical development in Italy up to the 18th century, including objects of the Etruscans and the Romans, as well as early Medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments. Consonant with Hutzel's belief that throughout Italy there are minor artistic centers that deserve attention, sites depicted are frequently obscure and previously undocumented. Hutzel's work is typified by a feeling for place that goes beyond the purely documentary. The collection contains more than 67,000 black-and-white prints and approximately 86,400 black-and-white negatives. Because Hutzel carefully cropped his images for printing, the prints more accurately represent his style than the negatives. Included is thorough interior and exterior documentation of secular buildings, museum holdings, ancient ruins, and religious institutions covering a broad range of artistic forms and styles, including architecture, painting, frescoes, sculpture, manuscripts, metalwork and other minor arts, ranging in date from Antiquity to late Baroque. The regions most heavily represented are: the Abruzzi, Lazio (including Rome), the Marches, and Umbria. Additional photos cover sites in: Basilicata, Campania, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Guilia, Lombardy, Piedmont, Puglia, Sardinia, Tuscany, and Veneto. Also included are circa 825 photographs of medieval buildings and art in Campania, in the ancient region called "Campi Flegrei," made in 1990 by Roberto Sigismondi, Hutzel's long-time assistant (some 800 additional images from this campaign have been removed and interfiled in the Antiquities section of the Getty Research Institute's Photo Archive). Missing from this collection are many Hutzel photographs that were separated in the 1980s and 1990s and integrated into the core collections of the Photo Archive. Photographs are generally accompanied by typed lists that include the names of the sites and often additional information such as narrative descriptions, church dedications, locations of photographed details, label information for museum objects, and information provided to Hutzel by local inhabitants. Hutzel frequently added his own personal commentary regarding the condition of many sites. The photographic prints and accompanying lists have been digitized and the images are available online.

    BERNINI’S BUST OF THE SAVIOR AND THE PROBLEM OF THE HOMELESS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ROME Italian Quarterly, XXXVII, 2000, 209-51 BERNINI'S BUST OF THE SAVIOR AND THE PROBLEM OF THE HOMELESS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTIJRY ROME* In preparing for death Bernini followed a long and glorious tradition in which artists since the Renaissance strove to outdo themselves (and their predecessors) by creating tours de force of their craft as ultimate testaments to their ability and devotion. 1 While he followed his tradition, Bernini reinterpreted it in a flllldamental way, as ifin fulfillment of his famous dictum that in his art he had succeeded in breaking the rules, without ever violating them.2 For although he amassed great wealth and international prestige during a long and almost uniformly successful career, unlike many artists of his means and stature - and notably his great prototype Michelangelo -- ho planned no tomb or other monument for himself. 3 It emerges now more clearly than ever that if Bernini's expiatory creations were selfjusti:ficatory in origin, they were not self-centered in destination; they were directed not inward but outward, in a spirit of what today might be called "social consciousness." • • • Homo sapiens has been defined as the only animal that knows it is going to die. This paradox of a living creature's self-conscious awareness of and preoccupation with its own death was a prominent theme in European cullure from antiquity on. The process of intellectualization of this fatal aspect of human nature culminated toward the end of the middle ages in a coherent and logically conceived system, a veritable theory of dying.

At the Ballantyne Press, Edinburgh / VX-/ e3/^ H67 To ©. H. PREFACE I OWE to Mr. Bernhard Berenson the suggestion which led me to make the notes which are the foundation of this book. In the chapter on the Rudiments of Connoisseurship in the second series of his Study and Criticism of Italian Art, after speaking of the characteristic features in the painting of human beings by which authorship " may be determined, he says : We turn to the animals that the painters, of the Renaissance habitually intro- duced into pictures, the horse, the ox, the ass, and more rarely birds. They need not long detain us, because in questions of detail all that we have found to apply to the human figure can easily be made to apply by the reader to the various animals. I must, however, remind him that animals were rarely petted and therefore rarely observed in the Renaissance. Vasari, for instance, gets into a fury of contempt when describing Sodoma's devotion to pet birds and horses." Having from my schooldays been accustomed to keep animals and birds, to sketch them and to look vii ANIMAL LIFE IN ITALIAN PAINTING for them in painting, I had a general recollection which would not quite square with the statement that they were rarely petted and therefore rarely observed in the Renaissance.

  • Paul F. Grendler, 1969 Sansovino and Italian Popular History
    www.anacyclosis.org THE INSTITUTE FOR ANACYCLOSIS EXCERPT FROM FRANCESCO SANSOVINO AND ITALIAN POPULAR HISTORY BY PAUL F. GRENDLER 1969 A.D. Note: This text, containing a brief sketch of Polybius’ Anacyclosis, describes Francesco Sansovino’s efforts to popularize Anacyclosis during the Italian Renaissance. Footnotes have been omitted. II. The popularizers occasionally pondered man and history. They wrote no formal treatises but they wrote many prefaces and dedicatory letters in which it was standard procedure to discuss briefly the purpose of a work and to reflect on man and history. … Influenced by the events of his century and the current discussions of man and history, Sansovino assigned limits to man’s participation in shaping his world. He believed that man could shape his political destiny in day-to-day affairs but that politics was in the long run subject to an inevitable cycle. Sansovino viewed the growth and decline of states in terms of Polybius’ anacyclosis. The initially good government of one man, monarchy, became a tyranny. Then the state was renewed by the efforts of a few good men who made it an aristocracy. This in turn decayed into oligarchy and was replaced by democracy which became mob rule which, in turn was supplanted by one-man rule as the cycle continued. Sansovino noted that worthy men attempted unsuccessfully to establish principates or republics to endure a thousand years. The reasons for failure were twofold. By their nature all human institutions carried within themselves the seeds of corruption which were human excesses and disorders. Second, one could not provide for everything.

Here we see people of all ages, nude and clothed, performing varied activities in numerous poses, all in a setting that includes different bodies of water, types of architecture, land forms, and animals. • Wealthy Roman patrons liked landscapes like this one, combining natural and human-made elements in an orderly structure. Rather than emphasizing the vast distance between foreground and horizon with a sweeping view, Domenichino placed boundaries between the foreground (the shoreline), middle ground (architecture), and distance. Viewers can then experience the scene’s depth in a more measured way. • For many years, scholars thought this was a copy of a painting by Domenichino, but recently it has been argued that it is an original. The argument is based on careful comparison of many of the picture’s stylistic characteristics, and on the presence of so many figures in complex poses.
