  • 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.

    CARAVAGGIO second revised edition John T. Spike with the assistance of Michèle K. Spike cd-rom catalogue Note to the Reader 2 Abbreviations 3 How to Use this CD-ROM 3 Autograph Works 6 Other Works Attributed 412 Lost Works 452 Bibliography 510 Exhibition Catalogues 607 Copyright Notice 624 abbeville press publishers new york london Note to the Reader This CD-ROM contains searchable catalogues of all of the known paintings of Caravaggio, including attributed and lost works. In the autograph works are included all paintings which on documentary or stylistic evidence appear to be by, or partly by, the hand of Caravaggio. The attributed works include all paintings that have been associated with Caravaggio’s name in critical writings but which, in the opinion of the present writer, cannot be fully accepted as his, and those of uncertain attribution which he has not been able to examine personally. Some works listed here as copies are regarded as autograph by other authorities. Lost works, whose catalogue numbers are preceded by “L,” are paintings whose current whereabouts are unknown which are ascribed to Caravaggio in seventeenth-century documents, inventories, and in other sources. The catalogue of lost works describes a wide variety of material, including paintings considered copies of lost originals. Entries for untraced paintings include the city where they were identified in either a seventeenth-century source or inventory (“Inv.”). Most of the inventories have been published in the Getty Provenance Index, Los Angeles. Provenance, documents and sources, inventories and selective bibliographies are provided for the paintings by, after, and attributed to Caravaggio.

Before the advent of the illuminist concept of the picture gallery (pinacoteca), which followed a classification based on genre and chronology suitable for museums or didactic purposes, the quadreria developed mainly according to personal taste, affinity and reference to the figurative tradition.

  • Alessandro CAPALTI by Olivier Michel - Biographical Dictionary of Italians - Volume 18 (1975)
    Alessandro CAPALTI by Olivier Michel - Biographical Dictionary of Italians - Volume 18 (1975) He was born in Rome on September 25th. 1807, eldest son of a wealthy shopkeeper, Lorenzo, originally from Civitavecchia, and Anna Serafini, pupil of Teresa Mengs-Maron. He always lived in Rome. It is regularly registered first with the family, in via del Pozzetto or S. Claudio, n. 96, therefore, in the last years of his life, in via del Corso 54. G. Checchetelli gives us the address of the studio: Ripa di Fiume at Ripetta n. 14. It belonged to a bourgeois environment, linked to the Church, cultured and fond of fine arts. His brother Annibale was created cardinal by Pius IX in 1868 and his sister Maria married the lawyer Filippo Ricci, a great friend of GG Belli and executor of Thorvaldsen. The funeral eulogy delivered at the Accademia di S. Luca, during the session of May 18, 1868, gives us some clarifications concerning his artistic training. After literary studies at the Roman college, he followed the drawing courses of Andrea Pozzi and especially of Tommaso Minardi. He learned the art of painting from Gaspare Landi. He soon made a name for himself. A good fresco painter, the author of canvases with a religious or historical subject, he owes fame to the qualities of a portrait painter. Official recognition was not lacking. On Sept. 18 1840 he was admitted to the Accademia di S. Luca and in 1841 he became a virtuoso of the Pantheon. In 1854, when Minardi abandoned the drawing chair he held at the Academy, CAPALTI succeeded him in this assignment.

  • LOCUS UMBRIA from a “Green and Medieval” Image to a More “Authentically Contemporary” Image †
    Proceedings LOCUS UMBRIA From a “Green and Medieval” Image to a More † “Authentically Contemporary” Image Paolo Belardi Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Ambientale, Università degli Studi di Perugia, 06125 Perugia, Italy; [email protected]; Tel.: +39-075-585-3782 † Presented at the International and Interdisciplinary Conference IMMAGINI? Image and Imagination between Representation, Communication, Education and Psychology, Brixen, Italy, 27–28 November 2017. Published: 27 November 2017 Abstract: Two hundred years after Tommaso Minardi (pupil of Antonio Canova) was appointed director, the Accademia di Belle Arti “Pietro Vannucci” of Perugia (Academy of Fine Arts), in synergy with the Università degli Studi of Perugia, once again had a fundamental role in the creation process of the Umbria brand concept. A concept that once again was the result of a true cultural project, whereby, just as the image of a “green and medieval” Umbria was reinforced by the evocative charge of painting, the image of a more “authentically contemporary” Umbria will be powered by the connotative charge of design. Keywords: brand; communication; design; image; Umbria On 17 November 2016, at the Milan office of Banca Prossima, the Umbria Region was awarded the grandesignEtico International Award: an award that is promoted biyearly by the Plana Cultural Association to promote Italian design of excellence and qualified by a board of absolute prestige. The news raised a great media echo, because for the first time, instead of being a private company or a professional

Germany Brentano, Letter to Goethe Beethoven, Letter to Brentano Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther Selections from German Romantic Stories Goethe, Faust, Part I Eugen Weber, ROMANTICISM, Movements, Currents, Trends, pp. 13-18 What is Romanticism? In 1925, a Belgian scholar trying to establish the nature of the movement, counted up to a hundred and fifty definitions. Three-quarters of a century before that, one of the German founders of the school had to admit that, were he asked to give a definition of Romanticism, he could not do it. For Ludwig Tieck, there was no difference between the Romantic and the poetic. In a sense he was right-but only by implying a definition of the "poetic" in the Romantic sense, for certainly he would not have counted Boileau as a Romantic poet. At any rate, no student of the many and varied phenomena that have been called "Romantic" (at first, generally, by their critics) could hazard more than the vaguest and most inclusive answer to the question. The Romantic spirit, so-called, is to some degree simply an intellectual reaction against the eighteenth- century ideals of order, discipline, and reason, and a nationalistic reaction against French predominance in the cultural, as in the political, sphere. And certainly the movement as a whole stresses freedom, inspiration, and originality in contrast to the formal rules and imitative procedure of the classic style, it replaces the somewhat detached, sometimes even impersonal approach of the late eighteenth century by the lyrical expression and expansion of personality, and denies "Enlightened" universalism by its insistence upon the local, the particular, the peculiar.
