A fortune was spent on this work, which is the result of more than ten years of labor of autlior, artist, and engraver. It is superbly illustrated with 72 full-page plates, 20 x 26 inches, magnificently colored, and representing the temples, etc., exactly as they appeared four thousand years ago. p! ^ VT^T f Whose civilization is the oldest known, and yet whose architecture ^ • is the wonder and admiration of modern times, and which ‘‘for nobility of concepiion, vastness of detail, and majesty of the highest order, exceeds anything ever real ed by human hands, ’ has now for the first time been adequately snown forth in these superb volum’^ s. Whether specially interested in Egjpt or not, no one who is a lover of good things in art or literature can fail to be fascinated by the beauty, grace, and grandeur of Egyptian art as exhibited in these plates.

  • 2ª Parte - Capítulo I Capitulo 1: Miembros Permanentes
    ABRIR TOMO I - 2ª PARTE - CAPÍTULO I CAPITULO 1: MIEMBROS PERMANENTES BENITO MANUEL AGUERO Nos ocupamos ahora del discípulo del discipulo de Velázquez, Benito Manuel de Agnero. quien comparte con la mayoría de pintores estudiados en este trabajo el vacío documental sobre su vida. Trabajó en el obrador del Alcázar, a Felipe IV le gustaba oírle y de su nimio salieron una gran parte de los psisajes que decoraron los Palacios Reales. Los datos recogidos en este capítulo, al igual que sucede con elresto de artistas okieto de estudio, le convienen en un pintor mucho más interesante de lo que se venía considerando hasta el momento. Blogralia Palomino recoge datos sobre nuestro pintor en laVida 134 de ‘El Parnaso Español”’. Se equívoca al decir que era de Madrid ya que, gracias al testimonio del propio artista, sabemos que nació en la dudad de Burgos2. Sin embargo, acierta en lo que se refiere a la fecha de nacimiento: ‘¶por los años de 1670, y a los cuarenta y cuatro de su edad”. De aquí se deduce que pudo venir al mundo en 1625, lo cual es cierto, si nos atenemos a sus propias declaraciones. Benito Manuel Agtero actúa como testigo, junto con Matías Pastor, en las informaciones que hizo Mazo sobre su bija mayor, Dolía Ynés, con motivo del reparto de bienes de su esposa, FranciscaVelázquez (16-XI-1655)3; ambos ratifican que está casada y reside en Nápoles. Benito Manuel dice tener 30 altos, “poco más o menos ¶ lo que nos sitúa su fechade nacimiento, de nuevo, en el mismo año de 1625.

  • The Place of African Slaves in Early Modern Spain Carmen
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Birkbeck Institutional Research Online The Place of African Slaves in Early Modern Spain Carmen Fracchia On 19 March 1650, Diego Velázquez (1599-1660) exhibited an unusual portrait in Rome (fig. 1). It depicted his slave, the painter Juan de Pareja (Antequera, Province of Málaga, c. 1606 - Madrid, 1670).1 This work was highly praised and its reception was extremely successful due to the realistic likeness of the sitter as the art critic and painter Antonio Palomino recorded in his Pictorial Museum and Optical Scale (1724): “[Velázquez] made [the portrait] (one) of Juan de Pareja, his slave and a painter himself, with such likeness and liveliness that when he sent it with Pareja for the criticism of some friends, they stood looking at the painted portrait and the model with admiration and amazement, not knowing which one they should speak to and which was to answer them. Of this portrait (which is half-length, from life) a story is related by Andreas Schmidt, a Flemish painter now at the Spanish court, who was in Rome at the time. In accordance with the custom of decorating the cloister of the Rotunda (where Raphael of Urbino is buried) on Saint Joseph’s day [19 March], with famous paintings, ancient and modern, this portrait was exhibited. It gained such universal applause that in the opinion of all the painters of the different nations everything else seemed like painting but this alone like truth. In view of this Velázquez was received as Roman Academician in the year 1650.”2 1 Velázquez’s Juan de Pareja is in New York, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Earlier this year we heard with great sadness of the death of our founding joint President Nigel Glendinning, who provid- ed unstinting support for ARTES activities and publications from its inception in 2000 right up to his sudden death aged 83. In tribute to him we reprint below an obituary written by Marjorie Trusted (ARTES founding member and Senior Curator of Sculpture at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London) and first published in April 2013 issue of The Art Newspaper. Another ARTES founding member, Hilary Macartney, also produced an obituary for The Burlington Maga- zine, which was published in the July 2013 issue p. 488. ! ! ! !1 ! ! InformARTES NEWSLETTER OF ARTES IBERIAN & LATIN AMERICAN VISUAL CULTURE GROUP ISSUE 13, WINTER 2013 ! Professor Nigel Glendinning, died 23 February 2013 ! The historian and art historian Nigel Glendinning died at his home in East London after a heart attack on 23 February, 2013, aged 83. Nigel’s scholarly acumen, along with his constant willingness to share his academic knowledge, were abun- dantly evident to all who knew him. As a profoundly sage and benevolent writer and teacher, he had few parallels in the Hispanic world. He was known primarily as a Goya specialist, but had a far-reaching acquaintance, indeed comfortable familiarity, with Spanish art, history and literature, from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries. ! Oliver Nigel Valentine Glendinning was born in East Sheen, Surrey in October 1929 to a creative family. His mother, Olive, née Ledward, was the sister of the sculptor Gilbert Ledward (1888-1960), and had worked as an assistant to the novelist Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) in the 1920s.

  • Picturing the Afro-Hispanic Struggle for Freedom in Early Modern Spain 1
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Birkbeck Institutional Research Online Picturing the Afro-Hispanic struggle for freedom in early modern Spain 1 Picturing the Afro-Hispanic Struggle for Freedom in Early Modern Spain In The Calling of St Matthew the Afro-Hispanic painter Juan de Pareja positioned his self-portrait against the backdrop of the local and transatlantic slave trades, the final expulsion of the Muslims between 1607 and 1614, and, the post-Tridentine mission of Christianization of enslaved Africans in early modern Spain.1 I intend to explore the articulation of freedom from slavery in imperial Spain by concentrating on the construction of the visual voice of the ex-enslaved subject in the only self-depiction that we know of a freedman in the crowns of Castile and Aragón. I will therefore focus primarily on the ways in which the enslaved Pareja and the freedman Pareja confronted the ideological associations of the word “black” and “slave”, the paradoxical beliefs in the whitening of the soul of Africans and the policies of purity of blood. Pareja was born c. 1606 in the city of Antequera, in the Province of Málaga, home to Africans mostly of Muslim origin from North Africa, especially after Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros’s conquest of Oran (Algeria) in 1509.2 Furthermore, Málaga was the most important slave port in the Iberian Peninsula after Lisbon, Seville and Valencia. Pareja was the slave of Diego Velázquez (1599 -1660), painter to King Philip IV of Spain. He therefore lived 1 The painting The Calling of St Matthew by Juan de Pareja is a very large oil on canvas (225 x 325 cm) and is kept in the Prado Museum in Madrid.
