  • Powerpoint Guidance
    A Londoner Joseph Mallord William Turner was born in April 1775 in Covent Garden, London. His father, William, was a barber and wigmaker and his mother was called Mary. Joseph’s father was supportive of his artistic talent and would display his son’s early drawings in his shop. Joseph Turner kept his Cockney accent all his life. Did You Know? The Royal Academy of Arts Joseph attended the Royal Academy of Arts school in 1789 and was accepted into the academy the following year. Although Joseph was interested in architecture, he was advised to carry on painting watercolour pictures. He sold some of his watercolour paintings to help pay for his fees at the Academy. Joseph Turner was only fourteen years old when he started studying at Did You Know? the Academy. Capturing the Light Joseph Turner began sketching outside, using these as a basis for his paintings, indoors. This led to him touring the country during the summer and working in the studio in the winter. He became known as “The Painter of Light”. In 1796, he exhibited his first painting in oils: ‘Fishermen at Sea’. As you look at the following paintings, think about why Turner was known as Did You Know? “The Painter of Light”. Fishermen at Sea What are your thoughts about this painting?

  • La Manière Claire
    FICHE L’ECOLE DE LA LUMIERE ET DE L’OMBRE XVème – XVIème Contexte : C’est celui de la Contre-Réforme, et du concile de Trente qui préconise une peinture plus simple et plus lisible que celle des artistes de la Renaissance classique et maniériste. La peinture rend compte de l'ascétisme et du mysticisme du XVIème. Caractéristiques : Le caravagisme est un courant pictural de la première moitié du XVIIe siècle, apparu à la suite du travail de Michelangelo MERISI, dit le Caravage, dont le sens révolutionnaire du sacré modifie les règles de l’art à la fin du XVIe siècle. Le Caravagisme est une peinture naturaliste, réaliste, en opposition au maniérisme intellectuel et artificiel, apparue vers 1599. L’emploi appuyé de la technique du clair-obscur allant jusqu'au ténébrisme touche la sensibilité des mécènes et le peuple. Les canons esthétiques sont rejetés au profit d'un réalisme sans failles, non pas dans l'attachement au détail à la manière flamande mais à celui de la vie quotidienne, avec sa douleur, sa violence et pourquoi pas sa laideur... C’est une nouvelle conception du « Beau ». Parfois assimilé à une forme de « baroque romain » face au classicisme des Carrache mais très proche de « l’école bolonaise ». Ce n’est pas une école, ni un mouvement structuré, mais tout au plus une influence de l’Italien chez des peintres tout autant baroques que classiques, qui s’étend en Italie puis se diffusent largement en Europe au début du XVIIème. Le mouvement s’éteint pratiquement en 1632 mais à Naples il se prolonge jusqu’à la fin du XVIIème.

  • The Case for Giuseppe Vermiglio*
    The Cain and Abel in the National Museum: The case for Giuseppe Vermiglio* John Gash The imposing picture of Cain and Abel in the National Museum of Fine Arts, Valletta (199 x 163.5 em.) (Plates 1,2) has long eluded secure attribution. 1 The picture hung in the Grand Master's palace at least from the early nineteenth century, and bore traditional designations to both Ribera and Caravaggio.2 Modern interest in the work, however, dates from Roberto Longhi's listing of it in 1943, without comment, as a product of one of Caravaggio 's leading Roman-based disciples of the second decade of the seventeenth century, the Mantuan, Bartolomeo Manfredi (1582-1622), to whom he also gave a similar (though by no means identical) Cain and Abel in the Palazzo Pitti.3 But despite the (partial) logic of this judgement (especially in terms of certain aspects of the Valletta picture's facture), and the reverence with which scholars have approached all pronunziamenti from this great connoisseur, no-one any longer believes it to be by Manfredi. In 1970, Evelina Borea, in her exhibition catalogue, Caravaggio e Caravaggeschi nelle Gallerie di Firenze, proposed that the Pitti painting was more likely to be by the Pisan Caravaggist, Orazio Riminaldi ( 1594- 1631 ), who was active in Rome towards the end of the second decade, and hinted, without claiming, that the Malta picture might also be his- a view strongly endorsed by Mina Gregori in 1972.4 Richard Spear, however, acutely rejected the attribution of * My thanks to Maria Rosa Antognazza, Dominic Cutajar, Don Stefano Tardani, and Pamela Willis for their help during the preparation of this article.
