  • Sebastiano Del Piombo and His Collaboration with Michelangelo: Distance and Proximity to the Divine in Catholic Reformation Rome
    SEBASTIANO DEL PIOMBO AND HIS COLLABORATION WITH MICHELANGELO: DISTANCE AND PROXIMITY TO THE DIVINE IN CATHOLIC REFORMATION ROME by Marsha Libina A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland April, 2015 © 2015 Marsha Libina All Rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation is structured around seven paintings that mark decisive moments in Sebastiano del Piombo’s Roman career (1511-47) and his collaboration with Michelangelo. Scholarship on Sebastiano’s collaborative works with Michelangelo typically concentrates on the artists’ division of labor and explains the works as a reconciliation of Venetian colorito (coloring) and Tuscan disegno (design). Consequently, discourses of interregional rivalry, center and periphery, and the normativity of the Roman High Renaissance become the overriding terms in which Sebastiano’s work is discussed. What has been overlooked is Sebastiano’s own visual intelligence, his active rather than passive use of Michelangelo’s skills, and the novelty of his works, made in response to reform currents of the early sixteenth century. This study investigates the significance behind Sebastiano’s repeating, slowing down, and narrowing in on the figure of Christ in his Roman works. The dissertation begins by addressing Sebastiano’s use of Michelangelo’s drawings as catalysts for his own inventions, demonstrating his investment in collaboration and strategies of citation as tools for artistic image-making. Focusing on Sebastiano’s reinvention of his partner’s drawings, it then looks at the ways in which the artist engaged with the central debates of the Catholic Reformation – debates on the Church’s mediation of the divine, the role of the individual in the path to personal salvation, and the increasingly problematic distance between the layperson and God.

Jewitt, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2014 Landscape painting assumed a new prominence in Venetian painting between the late fifteenth to early sixteenth century: this study aims to understand why and how this happened. It begins by redefining the conception of landscape in Renaissance Italy and then examines several ambitious easel paintings produced by major Venetian painters, beginning with Giovanni Bellini’s (c.1431- 36-1516) St. Francis in the Desert (c.1475), that give landscape a far more significant role than previously seen in comparable commissions by their peers, or even in their own work. After an introductory chapter reconsidering all previous hypotheses regarding Venetian painters’ reputations as accomplished landscape painters, it is divided into four chronologically arranged case study chapters.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-80843-9 - Venice and the Veneto Edited by Peter Humfrey Frontmatter More information ARTISTIC CENTERS OF THE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE VENICE AND THE VENETO S This volume provides an account of the art and architecture of Venice and the principal cities of the Venetian mainland empire in the enaissance, from 1450 to 1600. Thematically organized, it puts special emphasis on the relationship between art and the political, social, and religious institutions of the Venetian epublic.The creative achievements of major painters such as Bellini,Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese and of major architects such as Sansovino and Palla- dio are viewed in the context of the particular needs and ideologies of indi- vidual and institutional patrons. Moreover, the distinctive character of Venice as an artistic center is complemented by the discussion of the art produced in the mainland cities of Padua,Treviso,Vicenza,Verona, Brescia, and Bergamo, all of which similarly used visual means to assert their own separate identities. An up-to-date account of the art of early modern Venice, with specially com- missioned essays by a team of internationally known scholars, Venice and the Veneto is also lavishly illustrated with black-and-white and color photographs. Peter Humfrey is professor of art history at the University of St Andrews. He has been a Fellow at Villa I Tatti, Florence, and a member of the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton. In 2000, he was elected Fellow of the oyal So- ciety of Edinburgh, and in 2005 he received the award of Cavaliere dell’Ordine dell Stella della Solidarietà Italiana.

  • Bernardino Licinio: Portraiture, Kinship and Community in Renaissance Venice
    Bernardino Licinio: Portraiture, Kinship and Community in Renaissance Venice by Karine Tsoumis A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Karine Tsoumis 2013 Bernardino Licinio: Portraiture, Kinship and Community in Renaissance Venice Karine Tsoumis Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2013 Abstract Bernardino Licinio was a painter of Bergamasque origin active in Venice from c. 1510 to c. 1550. Licinio was a prolific painter of portraits, concert scenes and religious images for the home and headed a prosperous family workshop. Yet the artist is largely denied importance within the current art historical narrative, being conceived as “minor,” “provincial” or “second- rate.” My dissertation questions the “constructedness” of historical identities and presents the first nuanced understanding of Licinio’s place within Venetian culture. I argue that his status as “minor” is a modern construct rather than a reflection of his contemporaries’ perception. My dissertation inscribes itself within endeavours to “de-centre” the Renaissance conceptually, and is especially indebted to recent studies of material culture that challenge art historical hierarchies and aesthetic biases. The dissertation provides a multilayered reading of Bernardino Licinio’s artistic identity through frameworks that stem from what I consider unique aspects of his practice, while others arise from problems posed by his historiographical reception. The artist’s position between Venice and Bergamo provides the line of enquiry for chapter one, where I engage with the Bergamasque ii community conceived, on the one hand, as a form of historiographical framing, and on the other, as a social reality.

This painting has obvious similarities to a work reproduced in a line-drawing by Salomon Reinach, attributed to Boltraffio and formerly with the London dealer Dowdeswell in about 1870,[1] and then correctly ascribed to Catena by Tancred Borenius when it was in the collection of Charles Newton-Robinson in London.[2] Many 26 rue Laffitte, 75009 Paris Tel : + 33 1 40 22 61 71 e-mail : [email protected] http://www.canesso.art years later, Giles Robertson recorded it as having been in the Viennese collection of Olga Gussmann, wife of the writer Arthur Schnitzler.[3] In fact, our painting is quite distinct from this last work, not only because of the different position of the right hand, the drapery folds and the colour of the mantle (a brighter, more changeant dirty green), but also for the proportions of the image, set within a taller, narrower structure (the Schnitzler panel measures 58.4 x 45.1 cm), whereas ours is very slightly shorter, and wider (57 x 48.8 cm). Infrared reflectography has revealed that the support is a repurposed panel which originally bore a figure of Saint Sebastian, from the right-hand section of a Sacra conversazione. The original wood panel, in very good condition, was then thinned down, remounted onto another panel, and finally cradled so as to impede any undesired movement of the wood.

  • David Bowie's Tintoretto Photographic Credits Madrid © Real Academia De Bellas Artes De San Fernando: Fig
    David Bowie’s Tintoretto Angel Foretelling the Martyrdom of Saint Catherine of Alexandria Edited by Benjamin van Beneden and Nicola Jennings Preface Colnaghi has over the past 250 years sold many masterpieces to well-known clients on both sides of the Atlantic. One of these sales was Jacopo Tintoretto’s Angel Foretelling the Martyrdom of Saint Catherine of Alexandria which in the 1980s we sold to the legendary rock star David Bowie. When Bowie died early last year, the painting was auctioned along with the rest of his collection at Sotheby’s, London. In a remarkable twist of fate, the Tintoretto sold by Colnaghi was bought by a good friend and client of ours, who has now generously placed it on long-term loan at the Rubenshuis in Antwerp. We were delighted, then, when we were asked to collaborate with the Rubenshuis to produce a scholarly monograph on the work and its wider influence. Given the profound influence of Tintoretto and Venetian art on Rubens, Van Dyck, and many other Baroque artists from northern and southern Europe, the Angel Foretelling the Martyrdom of Saint Catherine of Alexandria is a work of considerable importance. It was commissioned by members of the Scuola di Santa Caterina for the Church of San Geminiano in the Piazza San Marco in Venice. Sadly this exquisite church, designed by Jacopo Sansovino, was destroyed under Napoleon. The catalogue includes articles not only on the altarpiece itself, but also on the church and on other painters including Rubens, Van Dyck, and Maerten de Vos whose work was influenced by Tintoretto.
