Is Giovanni Mansueti Still Worth Studying? 1 Introduction This dissertation results from a series of straightforward questions: is Giovanni Mansueti still worth studying? Or, to phrase it differently, is there any reason to re-examine a painter who has invariably failed to captivate the interest of the general public and, above all, has been comparatively neglected by the majority of contemporary critics? In a period when monumental monographs are more than ever dedicated to the so-called great masters, or to the valuable reconstruction of the various artists that emanated from their workshops, is it really necessary to discuss the independent activity of one of those fleeting epigones? And, at last, if it is worth doing, how can we approach a painter whose oeuvre has been so bitterly mauled by art historians? Twentieth-century scholars pulled no punches in stigmatizing Mansueti’s work. The painter attracted sharp criticism mainly regarding his style which, as Lionello Venturi once claimed, led Mansueti to design “fantocci di legno che non sanno muoversi nemmeno come burattini”1. Giovan Battista Cavalcaselle and Joseph Archer Crowe raised objections to Mansueti’s artistry, defining it as “primitively stiff and conventional”, the result of an artist of “small powers” who could only rise “to any brightness of harmony or colour”2. Some decades later Raimond Van Marle did not gave Mansueti preferential treatment either, since his work, although seen as productive, was nonetheless condemned as “mediocre, unattractive and boring”3. A painter, as Fritz Heineman then argued, who though a “scolaro di Gentile Bellini” as well as influenced by his brother Giovanni, could not “nascondere la struttura legnosa delle sue figure” and “la sua mancanza di penetrazione”4. Interestingly, even Mansueti’s few supporters could not refrain from pointing up his limitations. Hans Tietze and Erica Tietze-Conrat, for example, who dedicated a separate heading to Mansueti’s drawings in which he even appeared “emancipated from Gentile” Bellini, concluded that his work was “insignificant”5. 1 Lionello Venturi, Le origini della pittura veneziana, 1300-1500, Venezia, Istituto Veneto di Arti Grafiche, 1907, pp. 345-346. 2 Giovan Battista Cavalcaselle and Joseph Archer Crowe, A History of Painting in North Italy, ed. by Tancred Borenius, vol.

A label that, nonetheless, reckons without the evident success that he was granted by his contemporaries, having in fact been hired by some of the most prestigious institutions of his time, both religious and lay. A painter who, as Patricia Fortini Brown put it, “produced more paintings for scuole that any other artist of his time, with the exception of Carpaccio”6. This moves the discussion to why a re-evaluation of Mansueti is timely, even further than has been already outlined. In fact, a few additional questions present themselves: how was it that a minor painter such as Mansueti could contribute so substantially to the emergence, development and final efflorescence of Venice’s narrative painting? And, concurrently, how could such a seemingly insignificant painter become, pace the twentieth-century criticism, one of the leading exponents of the Venetian Orientalist Mode? If boring and mediocre, how is it possible that in his time Mansueti’s pictures adorned high altars and private chapels, the meeting halls and altars of Scuole Grandi and Piccole, as well as the walls of state offices? A concise account of Mansueti’s artistic affiliations and major commissions might help to highlight the paradox of criticism too concerned with stylistic analysis to notice the painter’s real achievements. After having completed his apprenticeship, probably at the Ducal Palace alongside Gentile and Giovanni Bellini7, by the end of the 1480s Mansueti was eventually able to establish his own workshop in “confinio sacti juliani” possibly favoured by a lucrative marriage to Laura Longini8. Although formally emancipated, an attractive Bellinesque style continued to characterize his work. This first drew the notice of Giorgio Vasari9, and subsequently 6 Patricia Fortini Brown, Venetian Narrative Painting in the Age of Carpaccio, New Haven and London, Yale University Press, 1988, p. 64. 7 Peter Humfrey, Pittura e devozione: la tradizione narrativa quattrocentesca, in La pittura nel Veneto. Il Quattrocento, vol. I, Milano, Electa, 1989, p. 316; Jennifer Fletcher, I Bellini, in La Bottega dell’Artista tra Medioevo e Rinascimento, a cura di Roberto Cassanelli, Milano, Jaca Book, 1998, pp. 131-153, especially pp. 143-144; Gabriele Matino, “Gentile Bellini, Giovanni Mansueti e il Riconoscimento del miracolo della reliquia della Croce al ponte di San Lio: chiarimenti e proposte”, Venezia Cinquecento, 20 (2010), p. 18. 8 G. Matino (2010), pp. 18-19, 33 note 53. On the Longinis and their intimate relations with both Giovanni and Vittore Mansueti see: Fabio Agostini, “Giovanni Mansueti: la vita, la famiglia, l’eredità”, Venezia Cinquecento, 22 (2013), pp. 6-11. 9 Giorgio Vasari, Le Vite de’ più eccellenti pittori scultori ed architettori, a cura di Gaetano Milanesi, vol. III, Firenze, Sansoni Editore, 1878, p. 648. 3 modern critics often concentrated on the identification of Mansueti’s artistic borrowings from the work of Gentile and Giovanni Bellini10, not to mention the influence that artists such as Vittore Carpaccio and Cima da Conegliano are believed to have exerted on him11. According to this literature, Mansueti emerges as a versatile artist who, as it has been argued, “had the ability to discern the best element for the required genre”12. His debut as an independent master can be dated to around 1492, when he completed the Allegorical Representation of the Trinity for the church of Santa Maria Assunta dei Crociferi (fig. 1)13. Already by the turn of the 1490s Mansueti’s workshop must have been exceptionally busy. Between 1494 and 1496 he joined Gentile Bellini, Vittore Carpaccio, Benedetto Diana, Lazzaro Bastiani and Pietro Perugino at the Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista, for which he painted the Miracle of San Lio (fig. 2) and the Healing of Niccolò Benvegnudo’s Daughter (1506; fig. 3)14.

  • A Note Towards Quantifying the Medieval Nubian Diaspora
    23 A Note towards Quantifying the Medieval Nubian Diaspora Adam Simmons Throughout the Christian medieval period of the kingdoms of Nu- bia (c. sixth–fifteenth centuries), ideas, goods, and peoples traversed vast distances. Judging from primarily external sources, the Nubian diaspora has seldom been thought of as vast, whether in number or geographical scope, both in terms of the relocated and a non- permanently domiciled diaspora. Prior to the Christianisation of the kingdoms of Nobadia, Makuria, and Alwa in the sixth century, likely Nubian delegations, consisting of “Ethiopes,” were received in both Rome and Constantinople alongside ones from neighbouring peoples, such as the Blemmyes and Aksumites. Yet, medieval Nubia is more often seen as inclusive rather than diasporic. This brief dis- cussion will further show that Nubians were an interactive society within the wider Mediterranean, a topic most commonly seen in the debate on Nubian trade.1 Above all, it argues that Nubians had a long relationship with Mediterranean societies that has primarily been overlooked in scholarship. Whilst the evidence presented here is not aimed to be definitive, it does highlight that Nubia’s Mediterranean connections may even have been more diverse than what Giovan- ni Ruffini argued for in his book Medieval Nubia whilst describing Nubia as a “Mediterranean society in Africa.”2 May we even argue for a more developed thesis of interaction? What about the Nubian societies throughout the Mediterranean who interacted with other communities both spiritually and financially? It will be argued here that these questions should be revisited and have potential to fur- ther expand Ruffini’s Mediterranean thesis.

[4] According to John Shearman, x-radiographs have revealed that yet another version was originally painted under the Titian workshop picture Titian and His Friends at Hampton Court (illustrated under Andrea de’ Franceschi). [5] Of these versions, the Gallery’s picture is now generally accepted as the earliest and the finest, and before it entered the Kress collection in 1954, the identity of the sitter, established by Victor Lasareff in 1923 with reference to the Hermitage version, has never subsequently been doubted. [6] Lasareff retained a traditional attribution to Tintoretto, and Rodolfo Pallucchini and W. R. Rearick upheld a similarly traditional attribution to Tintoretto of the present version. [7] But as argued by Wilhelm Suida in 1933 with reference to the Chrysler version (then in Munich), and by Fern Rusk Shapley and Harold Wethey with reference to the present version, an attribution to Titian is more likely.

  • Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530
    PALPABLE POLITICS AND EMBODIED PASSIONS: TERRACOTTA TABLEAU SCULPTURE IN ITALY, 1450-1530 by Betsy Bennett Purvis A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto ©Copyright by Betsy Bennett Purvis 2012 Palpable Politics and Embodied Passions: Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530 Doctorate of Philosophy 2012 Betsy Bennett Purvis Department of Art University of Toronto ABSTRACT Polychrome terracotta tableau sculpture is one of the most unique genres of 15th- century Italian Renaissance sculpture. In particular, Lamentation tableaux by Niccolò dell’Arca and Guido Mazzoni, with their intense sense of realism and expressive pathos, are among the most potent representatives of the Renaissance fascination with life-like imagery and its use as a powerful means of conveying psychologically and emotionally moving narratives. This dissertation examines the versatility of terracotta within the artistic economy of Italian Renaissance sculpture as well as its distinct mimetic qualities and expressive capacities. It casts new light on the historical conditions surrounding the development of the Lamentation tableau and repositions this particular genre of sculpture as a significant form of figurative sculpture, rather than simply an artifact of popular culture. In terms of historical context, this dissertation explores overlooked links between the theme of the Lamentation, the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, codes of chivalric honor and piety, and resurgent crusade rhetoric spurred by the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Reconnected to its religious and political history rooted in medieval forms of Sepulchre devotion, the terracotta Lamentation tableau emerges as a key monument that both ii reflected and directed the cultural and political tensions surrounding East-West relations in later 15th-century Italy.

Ritsema van Eck* Department of Medieval History, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands The late medieval illustrated Jerusalem travelogue by the Franciscan friar Paul Walther von Guglingen has heretofore received scant scholarly attention, perhaps owing to the unusual nature of some of its images. Guglingen charts decidedly Isla- mic spaces with his maps and plan, instead of the conventional sacred shrines of Christianity; these topographical features are interlaced with personal travelling experiences. Illustrations of flora and fauna encountered along the way are the result of careful observation, and meticulous recording.
