The Exhibition Arcadia - a Paradise Lost Opening on 17 September Claude Lorrain, Landscape with Argus Guarding lo, ca 1644/45. Photo credit: Harry Cory Right/By permission of the Earl of Leicester and the Trustees of the Holkham Estate. Aug 27, 2020 07:15 UTC The exhibition Arcadia - A Paradise Lost opening on 17 September This autumn's exhibition at Nationalmuseum opens on 17 September and features French and Italian art from primarily the 17th century but also French and Nordic art until the turn of the 20th century. The exhibition shows how people's view of nature has changed through the ages and also addresses the many classical stories conveyed in the paintings. Artists on display include Claude Lorrain, Nicolas Poussin and Salvator Rosa and, from more contemporary times, Prince Eugen, Anna Boberg and Otto Hesselbom. The exhibition Arcadia – A ParadiseLost is about an escape from reality and an eternal longing beyond civilization. It illuminates myths, poems and love stories and asks questions about the role of human beings in nature – then and now. The motifs are landscape and nature, but when you examine the pieces more closely you can discover stories drawn from fairy-tales and literature that take place in the glades. Along with the works from Nationalmuseum's collections on display in the exhibition, a number of famous works of art have been borrowed from museums such as the Dulwich Picture Gallery, Hamburger Kunsthalle, the National Gallery in London, Nivaagaards Malerisamling, Moderna Museet, The Earl of Leicester and the Trustees of the Holkham Estate and The Eastnor Castle Collection. The exhibition also features a newly discovered early painting by Claude Lorrain, which is in the Swedish Academy's possession, Landscape With Rural Dance. Arcadia is both the name of a region in Greece as well as a landscape for the imagination. During the 17th century, artists in Rome began to create the image of Arcadia based on the city’s surroundings, with ruins and isolated pastures. It became a specific category in painting, which is often referred to as ideal or classical landscape. From ancient literature and poems from the Renaissance sprung the image that it was a place of untouched nature, where shepherds met and could rest in glades next to rippling water springs. The dreamy landscapes on which the exhibition focuses contain hidden, poetic stories about human existence and living conditions. They are often about life, death, eroticism and the meaning of existence beyond civilization. The most well-known names in art during the 17th century were artists such as Claude Lorrain, Nicolas Poussin and Gaspard Dughet. In addition to these, there was also Salvator Rosa, who developed a type of landscape painting that had a darker vein, characterised by barren cliffs, gnarled trees and ravines that he chose to inhabit with mercenary soldiers, robbers and hermits. During the 18th century, more versions were added to this which emphasised playfulness and role playing in shaded park landscapes by artists such as Antoine Watteau and Jean-Baptiste Pater. The classic Italy-based landscape painting underwent a renaissance in the early 19th century but towards the middle of the century the connection between nature and nation grew to become more and more important. Artists should not search for beauty in Southern Europe, but should instead begin to depict nature in their own countries, as part of constructing national identity. This signified the beginning of national romanticism landscape art, which has for a long time influenced how we view beauty in nature. The more idea-based discussions surrounding the human image of nature are deepened in a few smaller rooms in the exhibition by a collaboration with Färgfabriken. At this point the exhibition leaves Arcadia to explore the industrialised society’s relationship with nature on the theme of hinterland. A number of pieces from Nationalmuseum’s collections by artists such as Prince Eugen, Axel Sjöberg and Anna Boberg are discussed and displayed based on contemporary discussions on natural resources, urbanisation and climate issues. Photographs taken by photographer Suvra Kanti Das from Bangladesh are also featured here. The exhibition is enriched with a richly illustrated publication presenting the theme Arcadia from different perspectives. Writers are Martin Olin, Anna Blennow, Helen Langdon, Daniel Prytz and Daniel Urey. Malte Persson contributes with the poem Aeneas in Arcadia, which is a poetic comment on the exhibition's images and themes and which is published for the first time. Arcadia – A Paradise Lost is on display on the upper floor of Nationalmuseum from 17 September until 17 January 2021. The curators of the exhibition are Martin Olin and Daniel Prytz from Nationalmuseum and Daniel Urey from Färgfabriken.

    Baroque Routes - 2014 / 15 5 Valmontone Conference on Mattia Preti A scholarly conference focused on the Cavaliere Calabrese, the artist Mattia Preti, was held on Monday 3 November 2014 at Palazzo Pamphilj in Valmontone, around 30 kilometres from Rome. Participants examined the status of research into this artist following the celebrations of the 400th centenary of his birth (1613-2013). The event was titled ‘Sotto la volta dell’aria. Mattia Preti: Approfondimenti e ricerche.’ This conference was organised by the International Institute for Baroque Studies at the University of Malta in association with the Soprintendenza PSAE del Lazio and the Comune di Valmontone. For this purpose an on-site scientific committee composed of Sante Guido, Dora Catalano of the Superintendence extensive decoration of eighteenth-century of the region, Monica Di Gregorio, director palaces throughout Europe.

  • Gaspard Dughet: Some Problems in the Connoisseurship of Chalk Drawings
    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: GASPARD DUGHET: SOME PROBLEMS IN THE CONNOISSEURSHIP OF CHALK DRAWINGS Sarah Beth Cantor, Master of Arts, 2005 Thesis directed by: Professor Anthony Colantuono Department of Art History and Archaeology Little scholarship has been devoted to the graphic oeuvre of Gaspard Dughet (1615-1675), a prominent landscape painter of the seventeenth century. A number of drawings in red and black chalk have been attributed to Dughet based on their connection to documented paintings. Stylistic comparisons with other examples of Dughet’s work as a draughtsman and technical evidence including medium and watermarks, however, reveal that a group of drawings given to the artist are, in fact, copies done in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. Although Dughet’s contributions are under appreciated today, his work influenced the next generation of landscape artists in Italy and abroad, including the British and many Dutch and Flemish artists who traveled to Italy. This thesis examines not only Dughet’s chalk drawings, but the graphic work of his most well-known Northern followers to determine which artist may have executed these copies.

  • Revision and Exploration German Landscape
    REVISION AND EXPLORATION GERMAN LANDSCAPE DEPICTION AND THEORY IN THE LATE 18TH CENTURY Ph.D. Thesis History of Art University College London Mark A. Cheetham June, 1982 THESIS ABSTRACT "Revision and Exploration: German Landscape Depiction and Theory in the Late Eighteenth Century" My thesis focuses on the work of German painters in Italy c.l770-1800, and addresses issues raised by their complex relationship with the 17th century Italianate landscape tradition. Jakob Philipp Hackert (1737-1807), Johann Christian Reinhart (1761-1847), and Joseph Anton Koch (1768- 1839) worked in Italy precisely because they considered them- selves to be thg inheritors of the 17th century landscape style of Claude, Dughet, Rosa, and Nicolas Poussin. But while the German paintings do resemble the earlier works, they also revise the 17th century programme of representing Ideal nature. They are more detailed and precise in their depiction of natural phenomena; they also represent natural events and sites not included in the traditional canon. Extrapolating from 18th century critical terminology, I have developed the term "particularity" to focus attention on this unprecedented attentiontt the details of nature. I argue that the late 18th century German landscapes revise the Italianate landscape tradition so that it embodies particularity, and that the impetus for this change comes from two contemporary sources: natural history -- especially the nascent sciences of geology and biology -- and art theory. My argument is divided into three sections. In the first, I establish the existence and visual characteristics of particu- larity first by contrasting 17th century versions of the famous cascades at Tivoli (by Claude, Dughet, and others) with depic- tions of the same site by late 18th century German artists, and second, by describing the new sites which were explored and depicted by Hackert, Reinhart, and Koch.

  • The Landscapes of Gaspard Dughet: Artistic Identity and Intellectual Formation in Seventeenth-Century Rome
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE LANDSCAPES OF GASPARD DUGHET: ARTISTIC IDENTITY AND INTELLECTUAL FORMATION IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ROME Sarah Beth Cantor, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Professor Anthony Colantuono, Department of Art History and Archaeology The paintings of Gaspard Dughet (1615-1675), an artist whose work evokes the countryside around Rome, profoundly affected the representation of landscape until the early twentieth century. Despite his impact on the development of landscape painting, Dughet is recognized today as the brother-in-law of Nicolas Poussin rather than for his own contribution to the history of art. His paintings are generally classified as decorative works without subjects that embody no higher intellectual pursuits. This dissertation proposes that Dughet did, in fact, represent complex ideals and literary concepts within his paintings, engaging with the pastoral genre, ideas on spirituality expressed through landscape, and the examination of ancient Roman art. My study considers Dughet’s work in the context of seventeenth-century literature and antiquarian culture through a new reading of his paintings. I locate his work within the expanding discourse on the rhetorical nature of seventeenth-century art, exploring questions on the meaning and interpretation of landscape imagery in Rome. For artists and patrons in Italy, landscape painting was tied to notions of cultural identity and history, particularly for elite Roman families. Through a comprehensive examination of Dughet’s paintings and frescoes commissioned by noble families, this dissertation reveals the motivations and intentions of both the artist and his patrons. The dissertation addresses the correlation between Dughet’s paintings and the concept of the pastoral, the literary genre that began in ancient Greece and Rome and which became widely popular in the early seventeenth century.

  • A View from Richmond Hill; an English Arcadia POA REF:- 355065 Artist: JOHN WOOTTON
    A View from Richmond Hill; an English Arcadia POA REF:- 355065 Artist: JOHN WOOTTON Height: 64.7 cm (25 1/2") Width: 124.5 cm (49") Framed Height: 82.5 cm (32 1/2") Framed Width: 142.7 cm (56 1/4") 1 https://johnbennettfinepaintings.com/a-view-from-richmond-hill-an-english-arcadia 28/09/2021 Short Description John Wootton is probably most renowned for his sporting paintings, often of Newmarket, but he was also a landscapist of both topographical subjects and also in the classical tradition influenced by Gaspard Dughet and Claude Lorrain. He is important in the development of both English sporting and landscape painting in that he was a transitional artist who developed the Dutch style of portraying these subjects and imbued them with a softer and more English sensibility. He was born in Snitterfield in Warwickshire in 1682 although some sources have given the date 1678. There is nothing known about his parents but tradition has it that when the 1st Duke of Beaufort’s daughter, Lady Anne Somerset, married the future Earl of Coventry, she moved to Snitterfield House and the young John Wootton served as her page. It is thought that it was she who encouraged him to take up painting. Lady Anne and Wootton remained in touch for at least forty years and in one letter the artist asked that she become godmother to his children. Wootton is thought to have been apprenticed for a time to the Flemish-born landscape painter Jan Siberechts in 1694. However, sometime in the late 1690s he had become apprenticed to Jan Wyck, who had come to England from Holland and established himself at the forefront of painting military scenes and landscape.

  • Master Thesis
    Falsehood Flies: Debunking the myth of John Boydell’s printmaking George Richards (s1382330) A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for graduation with Master of Arts From the department of Arts and Culture: Early Modern and Medieval Art Thesis Supervisors: Professor Caroline van Eck Drs. Nelke Bartelings 5794VMATH September 30th, 2014 University of Leiden Cover Image: Valentine Green after Josiah Boydell. John Boydell, Engraver, mezzotint, 1772. Trustees of the British Museum. Acknowledgements To begin with, I would like to acknowledge my debt to the late Christopher Lennox-Boyd. His enthusiasm for the graphic arts was infectious, and first stoked my interest in this field. A connoisseur of true anachronism; the scope of his knowledge was rivalled only by that of his collection. Were it not for his influence, this thesis would never have been realised. It was an honour to have known him. The same may be said for Professor Caroline van Eck and Drs. Nelke Bartelings. With Caroline’s command of the long eighteenth-century, and Nelke’s encyclopaedic grasp of printmaking, the pair of them suggested important revisions which shaped the final version of this work. I could not have asked for more valuable supervision. On a more intimate level, I must thank my parents, who provided unwavering counsel, as well as an efficient courier service. Additional mention should also go to the Greek contingent of Constantina, Stefanos, and Panagiota, who ensured that I balanced industry with idleness during my stay in Leiden. And finally, I extend a special gratitude to my dearest Monique. She has had the patience of Elizabeth Boydell from the very outset, and suppressed any hint of rancour as I recently spent our holiday in Burgundy by writing my appendices.
