I U' H.) 11 2 Abstract LAVINIA FONTANA; AN ARTIST AND HER SOCIETY IN LATE SIXTEENTH-CENTURY BOLOGNA by Caroline Patricia Murphy Submitted for a Phi) in the History of Art, University College, London, March, 1996 I u' H.) 11 2 Abstract This thesis is a study of the career of one of Europe's first truly successful female painters with the largest attributable oeuvre of any woman artist before the 18th century. It incorporates an analysis of the tastes and consumption patterns, lifestyles and mentalities of the patriciat clergy and scholars of Counter Reformation Bologna who were her patrons. The intent is to identify and categorise her patrons and to explore her artistic appeal to them and to explain the work opportunities created by Counter Reformation initiatives including church refurbishment and charity institutions. It breaks down into six chapters: the first concerns family background, how and why Fontana's painter father Prospero trained her as a painter, the circumstances surrounding her marriage and how it contributed to her career: The second is about her initial clientele of scholars and intellectuals connected with the University at Bologna whose portraits she painted and the Europe-wide cult of collections of images of uomini famosi which helped to give her an international reputation. The three middle chapters deal with the group of Bolognese noblewomen who were undoubtedly Fontana's most significant and high spending patrons, for whom she painted altarpieces, portraits and private devotional works and to whom she became personally connected through godparentage (she had eleven children). One of these chapters looks at these patrons in general terms, the next concerns Laudomia Gozzadini, for whom Fontana painted an enormous family portrait that had very special significance and resonance in the lives of both patron and painter. The fifth chapter considers the work Fontana produced for wealthy widows in Bologna. By identifying some of the widows in question it has been possible to pursue their particular family circumstances to see what kind of widow sought to commemorate her state and what options for interpretation were offered within predicative literature. The sixth and final chapter looks at work intended for the youth of Bologna and pictures that involved children from the moment of conception until their late adolescence. The diversity of her patrons and their artistic needs demonstrates the expansion and success of Fontana's business.

I would like to thank Dr. Bruce Boucher for his continued enthusiasm for my work on Lavinia Fontana over the last years. Dr. Sara Matthews-Grieco gave me my first opportunity to discuss my work in a public forum and has always shared my excitement in new archival finds. I would also like to thank Professor Gabriella Zarri, whose work on Bolognese women in the sixteenth-century has been a tremendous resource and inspiration and who took the trouble to explain to me the labyrinth of the Bolognese archival system. My time in Bologna was enhanced by the friendship and hospitality of Corinna Rinaldi, Paola Goretti and Myriam Chiozza, in whom the spirit of the Dame della Cilia is alive and well. Patricia McNulty disentangled several documents in notarial Latin for me and in so doing gave important aspects of this thesis much greater resonance. I greatly appreciate Brian Murphy's thoughtful reading of my finished text. The contributions of Henry Dietrich-Fernández to this thesis are multi-fold and include our many conversations on Lavinia's life and work, and his finding of numerous invaluable books and articles. This work would not have been possible without the support of my mother. 6 INTRODUCTION This thesis is a study of the career of Lavinia Fontana in Bologna. She was born in that city, baptised on August 24, 1552 and lived there until 1604. Then she moved to Rome, where she died on August 11, 1614. Fontana can be described as the first truly professional woman painter, not only in Italy, but in Western Europe to receive real acclaim. In her native city, she received many of the same kinds of commissions as her male colleagues obtained: she produced portraits of prominent members of Bolognese society, painted small private devotional works and large scale altarpieces for churches and confraternities. She also executed paintings depicting mythological subjects and, in so doing, Fontana appears to have been the first early modern female artist to paint female nudes. Her oeuvre constitutes an extremely large and varied corpus for which she was widely recognized in her own time. Despite the exceptional nature of Lavinia Fontana's life and work she has been at best neglected and at worst little esteemed by historians of women artists 1. Indeed, her very success has probably contributed to this lack of regard. To those who prefer to see women experiencing struggle and crisis in their endeavours to become artists, Laviia's life must seem suspiciously effortless. She has the largest known oeuvre of any woman artist before the eighteenth-century and at the same time she seems to have been happily married. Certainly she was constantly lauded with praise. In contrast, to peruse a collection of the biographies of the women artists of the Renaissance and Baroque ages, is to read a series of The only notable exception is Eleanor Tufts, who published a general book on women artists, Our Hidden Heritage (London/New York, 1974) and also wrote two articles on Lavinia Fontana. E. Tufts, "A Successful 16th Century Portraitist. Ms Lavinia Fontana from Bologna, Art News, LXXVII, 1974, pp.60-64 and E. Tufts, "Lavinia Fontana, Bolognese Humanist" in Le arli a Bologna e in Emilia dal XVI a! XVII secolo, ed. A. Emiliani (C.I.H.A., Bologna, 1982), pp.129-!34. 7 trials, tribulations and tragedies. For example, one reads of the saintly Caterina Vigri, the "painter nun" of Quattrocento Bologna, who produced works of art for her convent, and was later beatified for her holiness and self-sacrifice, dying, as she did, nursing another nun back to health2.

  • DID JOSHUA REYNOLDS PAINT HIS PICTURES? Matthew C
    DID JOSHUA REYNOLDS PAINT HIS PICTURES? Matthew C. Hunter Did Joshua Reynolds Paint His Pictures? The Transatlantic Work of Picturing in an Age of Chymical Reproduction In the spring of 1787, King George III visited the Royal Academy of Arts at Somerset House on the Strand in London’s West End. The king had come to see the first series of the Seven Sacraments painted by Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665) for Roman patron Cassiano dal Pozzo in the later 1630s. It was Poussin’s Extreme Unction (ca. 1638–1640) (fig. 1) that won the king’s particular praise.1 Below a coffered ceiling, Poussin depicts two trains of mourners converging in a darkened interior as a priest administers last rites to the dying man recumbent on a low bed. Light enters from the left in the elongated taper borne by a barefoot acolyte in a flowing, scarlet robe. It filters in peristaltic motion along the back wall where a projecting, circular molding describes somber totality. Ritual fluids proceed from the right, passing in relay from the cerulean pitcher on the illuminated tripod table to a green-garbed youth then to the gold flagon for which the central bearded elder reaches, to be rubbed as oily film on the invalid’s eyelids. Secured for twenty-first century eyes through a spectacular fund-raising campaign in 2013 by Cambridge’s Fitzwilliam Museum, Poussin’s picture had been put before the king in the 1780s by no less spirited means. Working for Charles Manners, fourth Duke of Rutland, a Scottish antiquarian named James Byres had Poussin’s Joshua Reynolds, Sacraments exported from Rome and shipped to London where they Diana (Sackville), Viscountess Crosbie were cleaned and exhibited under the auspices of Royal Academy (detail, see fig.

  • Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lund Humphries and Getty Publications to collaborate on a groundbreaking new book series highlighting the careers and achievements of women artists LONDON AND LOS ANGELES—Lund Humphries and Getty Publications are pleased to announce the joint publication of the first volumes in the Illuminating Women Artists series. This series of beautifully illustrated books is the first to focus in a deliberate and sustained way on women artists throughout history, to recognize their accomplishments, to revive their name recognition, and to make their works better known to art enthusiasts of the 21st century. The Illuminating Women Artists series launches at a critical moment in our culture. It is a significant contribution to a movement underway—among scholars, museums, art dealers and collectors, and the wider world of cultural heritage—to re-assess the contributions of women artists. The first sub- series focuses on artists from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The initial volume in the series, by Catherine Hall-van den Elsen, presents the first overview in English of the life and work of Luisa Roldán (1652–1706), a prolific and celebrated sculptor of the Spanish Golden Age. The book, due for publication in September 2021, is replete with invaluable insights into Roldán’s technical innovations and artistic achievements, and it includes a list of all known extant works by the artist. It will be followed in February 2022 by a volume featuring the Italian Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi (1593–c.1654), who was recently celebrated in a solo exhibition at London’s National Gallery. Through the lens of cutting-edge scholarship, recent archival discoveries, and new painting attributions, author Sheila Barker offers an engaging overview of Gentileschi’s dramatic and exceptional life story, as well as her enterprising and original engagement with emerging feminist notions of the value and dignity of womanhood.

    THE PAINTERS OF THE SCHOOL OF FERRARA BY EDMUND G. .GARDNER, M.A. AUTHOR OF "DUKES AND POETS IN FERRARA" "SAINT CATHERINE OF SIENA" ETC LONDON : DUCKWORTH AND CO. NEW YORK : CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO FRANK ROOKE LEY PREFACE Itf the following pages I have attempted to give a brief account of the famous school of painting that originated in Ferrara about the middle of the fifteenth century, and thence not only extended its influence to the other cities that owned the sway of the House of Este, but spread over all Emilia and Romagna, produced Correggio in Parma, and even shared in the making of Raphael at Urbino. Correggio himself is not included : he is too great a figure in Italian art to be treated as merely the member of a local school ; and he has already been the subject of a separate monograph in this series. The classical volumes of Girolamo Baruffaldi are still indispensable to the student of the artistic history of Ferrara. It was, however, Morelli who first revealed the importance and significance of the Perrarese school in the evolution of Italian art ; and, although a few of his conclusions and conjectures have to be abandoned or modified in the light of later researches and dis- coveries, his work must ever remain our starting-point. vii viii PREFACE The indefatigable researches of Signor Adolfo Venturi have covered almost every phase of the subject, and it would be impossible for any writer now treating of Perrarese painting to overstate the debt that he must inevitably owe to him.

  • The History of Painting in Italy, Vol. V
    The History Of Painting In Italy, Vol. V By Luigi Antonio Lanzi HISTORY OF PAINTING IN UPPER ITALY. BOOK III. BOLOGNESE SCHOOL. During the progress of the present work, it has been observed that the fame of the art, in common with that of letters and of arms, has been transferred from place to place; and that wherever it fixed its seat, its influence tended to the perfection of some branch of painting, which by preceding artists had been less studied, or less understood. Towards the close of the sixteenth century, indeed, there seemed not to be left in nature, any kind of beauty, in its outward forms or aspect, that had not been admired and represented by some great master; insomuch that the artist, however ambitious, was compelled, as an imitator of nature, to become, likewise, an imitator of the best masters; while the discovery of new styles depended upon a more or less skilful combination of the old. Thus the sole career that remained open for the display of human genius was that of imitation; as it appeared impossible to design figures more masterly than those of Bonarruoti or Da Vinci, to express them with more grace than Raffaello, with more animated colours than those of Titian, with more lively motions than those of Tintoretto, or to give them a richer drapery and ornaments than Paul Veronese; to present them to the eye at every degree of distance, and in perspective, with more art, more fulness, and more enchanting power than fell to the genius of Coreggio. Accordingly the path of imitation was at that time pursued by every school, though with very little method.
