  • Treasures from Nickels and Dimes Gifts of Italian Painting from the Samuel H
    Treasures from Nickels and Dimes Gifts of Italian Painting from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation In 1953, the Mead’s first director, Charles H. Morgan, wrote to the Kress Foundation’s art director, Guy Emerson, requesting a “Kress Study Collection” of Italian Renaissance and Baroque art for Amherst College. Morgan explained that Amherst could preserve and use such a gift: in 1951, the College’s Fine Arts Department had taken up residence in the new, fireproof, Mead Art Building which—in its various capacities as an art gallery, auditorium, slide library, artists’ studio space, faculty offices, and classroom building— attracted 1,000 undergraduate students each week and some 20,000 outside visitors a year. Crucially, the department’s program of instruction considered first-hand association with original art objects to be its cornerstone. At the time Morgan wrote, the Kress Foundation was ideally positioned to assist Amherst. Founded by Samuel H. Kress in 1929 to “promote the moral, physical and mental welfare and progress of the human race,” the foundation had two mandates: to convey Mr. Kress’ art collection to the public, and to support medical research. Kress (1863-1955) had made a fortune by revolutionizing the five-and-dime variety store. By stocking fewer types of items and buying in bulk directly from manufacturers, Kress’s stores offered comparatively high quality merchandise at relatively low prices. The stores’ window displays were equally innovative—one celebrated example contained nothing but pots and pans priced at a nickel. Kress became interested in art in 1921, when, on a visit to Italy, he met the art dealer Count Alessandro Contini- Bonacossi.

  • Portrait Dated 1512, at the State Hermitage Museum1
    542 Giovanna Perini Folesani УДК: 75.041.5 ББК: 85.103(4)5 А43 DOI: 10.18688/aa177-5-55 Giovanna Perini Folesani Dominicus Who? Solving the Riddle Posed by a Splendid “Venetian” Portrait Dated 1512, at the State Hermitage Museum1 It takes some real quality for a Renaissance portrait to be able to hang close to Giorgione’s Judith in the same museum room without fading or being overshadowed2 (Ill. 124). The high quality of this problematic picture is further proven by its seventeenth-century attribution to Giorgione (who died two years before it was painted) [70, I, p. 105; 15, p. 190]. It is no coinci- dence that this very portrait was chosen for the dust-jacket of the official catalogue in English of the Venetian paintings in the State Hermitage Museum published in the 1990s [31] and has recently travelled to Australia along with other masterpieces from St. Petersburg3. Still, its attri- bution and iconography have proven elusive so far. Its current, yet not undisputed attribution to Domenico Capriolo, a minor Giorgionesque painter, is untenable on both stylistic and historical grounds4. A comparison with his one undis- puted portrait of Lelio Torelli, signed and dated 1528 [23, XIX, pp. 210–211; 87, V, pp. 557–558; 77, XVI, pp. 281–282; 89, IX/3, p. 548, fig. 374], shows that sixteen years later, far from im- proving as an artist, Domenico Capriolo (if he were the author of the State Hermitage picture) would paint in a stiffer, more elementary, much less imaginative and elegant way, having but a clumsy grasp on perspective.

  • Visual Exegesis and Eschatology in the Sistine Chapel
    TYPOLOGY AT ITS LIMITS: VISUAL EXEGESIS AND ESCHATOLOGY IN THE SISTINE CHAPEL Giovanni Careri Typology is a central device in the Sistine chapel frescoes of the fifteenth century where it works, in a quite canonical way, as a model of histori- cal temporality with strong institutional effects. In the frescoes by Luca Signorelli and Bartolomeo della Gatta representing various episodes from the life of Moses, including his death, every gesture and action of Moses is an announcement – a figura – of Jesus Christ’s institutional accomplish- ments represented on the opposite wall [Fig. 1]. Some of these devices operate on a figural level rather than in mere iconographical terms; the death of Moses, for instance, is a Pathosformel: the leader of the Israelites dies in the pose of the dead body of Christ, while his attendants adum- brate the Lamentation of Christ. Here, the attitude of the defunct Moses is ‘intensified’ by the return of the pathetic formula embodied by Christ’s Fig. 1.

Vatican City, Sistine Chapel. 74 giovanni careri corpse, that is, by the paradoxical return of the figure who is prefigured by Moses himself. As Leopold Ettlinger extensively showed, the main ideological purpose of the Quattrocento cycle is to support and incontrovertibly to adduce papal primacy.1 Nevertheless, if we look at these frescoes from an anthro- pological point of view, we are compelled to observe the extent to which they appropriate the history of the ‘Other’ – in this case the history of the Jews – entirely transforming it into a sort of prophetical premise for Christian history itself.

  • Introduction: Castles
    Introduction: Castles Between the 9th and 10th centuries, the new invasions that were threatening Europe, led the powerful feudal lords to build castles and fortresses on inaccessible heights, at the borders of their territories, along the main roads and ri- vers’ fords, or above narrow valleys or near bridges. The defense of property and of the rural populations from ma- rauding invaders, however, was not the only need during those times: the widespread banditry, the local guerrillas between towns and villages that were disputing territori- es and powers, and the general political crisis, that inve- sted the unguided Italian kingdom, have forced people to seek safety and security near the forts. Fortified villages, that could accommodate many families, were therefore built around castles. Those people were offered shelter in exchange of labor in the owner’s lands. Castles eventually were turned into fortified villages, with the lord’s residen- ce, the peasants homes and all the necessary to the community life. When the many threats gradually ceased, castles were built in less endangered places to bear witness to the authority of the local lords who wanted to brand the territory with their power, which was represented by the security offered by the fortress and garrisons. Over the centuries, the castles have combined several functions: territory’s fortress and garrison against invaders and internal uprisings ; warehouse to gather and protect the crops; the place where the feudal lord administered justice and where horsemen and troops lived. They were utilised, finally, as the lord’s and his family residence, apartments, which were gradually enriched, both to live with more ease, and to make a good impression with friends and distinguished guests who often stayed there.

  • Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues
    Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues Dr. Jonathan Petropoulos PROFESSOR, DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, LOYOLA COLLEGE, MD UNITED STATES Art Looting during the Third Reich: An Overview with Recommendations for Further Research Plenary Session on Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues It is an honor to be here to speak to you today. In many respects it is the highpoint of the over fifteen years I have spent working on this issue of artworks looted by the Nazis. This is a vast topic, too much for any one book, or even any one person to cover. Put simply, the Nazis plundered so many objects over such a large geographical area that it requires a collaborative effort to reconstruct this history. The project of determining what was plundered and what subsequently happened to these objects must be a team effort. And in fact, this is the way the work has proceeded. Many scholars have added pieces to the puzzle, and we are just now starting to assemble a complete picture. In my work I have focused on the Nazi plundering agencies1; Lynn Nicholas and Michael Kurtz have worked on the restitution process2; Hector Feliciano concentrated on specific collections in Western Europe which were 1 Jonathan Petropoulos, Art as Politics in the Third Reich (Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press).

  • Rethinking Savoldo's Magdalenes
    Rethinking Savoldo’s Magdalenes: A “Muddle of the Maries”?1 Charlotte Nichols The luminously veiled women in Giovanni Gerolamo Savoldo’s four Magdalene paintings—one of which resides at the Getty Museum—have consistently been identified by scholars as Mary Magdalene near Christ’s tomb on Easter morning. Yet these physically and emotionally self- contained figures are atypical representations of her in the early Cinquecento, when she is most often seen either as an exuberant observer of the Resurrection in scenes of the Noli me tangere or as a worldly penitent in half-length. A reconsideration of the pictures in connection with myriad early Christian, Byzantine, and Italian accounts of the Passion and devotional imagery suggests that Savoldo responded in an inventive way to a millennium-old discussion about the roles of the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene as the first witnesses of the risen Christ. The design, color, and positioning of the veil, which dominates the painted surface of the respective Magdalenes, encode layers of meaning explicated by textual and visual comparison; taken together they allow an alternate Marian interpretation of the presumed Magdalene figure’s biblical identity. At the expense of iconic clarity, the painter whom Giorgio Vasari described as “capriccioso e sofistico” appears to have created a multivalent image precisely in order to communicate the conflicting accounts in sacred and hagiographic texts, as well as the intellectual appeal of deliberately ambiguous, at times aporetic subject matter to northern Italian patrons in the sixteenth century.2 The Magdalenes: description, provenance, and subject The format of Savoldo’s Magdalenes is arresting, dominated by a silken waterfall of fabric that communicates both protective enclosure and luxuriant tactility (Figs.

  • Sight and Touch in the Noli Me Tangere
    Chapter 1 Sight and Touch in the Noli me tangere Andrea del Sarto painted his Noli me tangere (Fig. 1) at the age of twenty-four.1 He was young, ambitious, and grappling for the first time with the demands of producing an altarpiece. He had his reputation to consider. He had the spiri- tual function of his picture to think about. And he had his patron’s wishes to address. I begin this chapter by discussing this last category of concern, the complex realities of artistic patronage, as a means of emphasizing the broad- er arguments of my book: the altarpiece commissions that Andrea received were learning opportunities, and his artistic decisions serve as indices of the religious knowledge he acquired in the course of completing his professional endeavors. Throughout this particular endeavor—from his first client consultation to the moment he delivered the Noli me tangere to the Augustinian convent lo- cated just outside the San Gallo gate of Florence—Andrea worked closely with other members of his community. We are able to identify those individuals only in a general sense. Andrea received his commission from the Morelli fam- ily, silk merchants who lived in the Santa Croce quarter of the city and who frequently served in the civic government. They owned the rights to one of the most prestigious chapels in the San Gallo church. It was located close to the chancel, second to the left of the apse.2 This was prime real estate. Renaissance churches were communal structures—always visible, frequently visited. They had a natural hierarchy, dominated by the high altar.
