Burton’s words invoke the gallery of maps Pope Alexander VII assembled in Castel Gandolfo outside Rome in 1665 and animate Sutton Nicholls’s ink-and-wash drawing of Samuel Pepys’s library in London in 1693 (Fig. 1).2 There, in a room lined with bookcases and portraits, a map stands out, mounted on canvas and sus- pended from two cords; it is Giovanni Battista Falda’s view of Rome, published in 1676.

  • Women and Masks: the Economics of Painting and Meaning in the Mezza Figura Allegories by Lippi, Dandini and Martinelli
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Fumagalli, Elena (Hrsg.): Firenze milleseicentoquaranta : arti, lettere, musica, scienza, Venezia 2010, 311-323 u. Abb. (Studi e ricerche / Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz, Max-Planck- Institut ; 6) ECKHARD LEUSCHNER WOMEN AND MASKS: THE ECONOMICS OF PAINTING AND MEANING IN THE MEZZA FIGURA ALLEGORIES BY LIPPI, DANDINI AND MARTINELLI A considerable number of paintings produced in Florence and usually dated to the late 1630s, the 1640s and early 1650s represents half-length figures of young women before a dark background. Among the attributes of these women, masks of similar shapes, probably made of leather and equipped with rather expressionless faces, appear regularly. Art history has not yet analysed these half-length figures as a group with related charac­ teristics, neither in terms of style and picture size nor in terms of allegori­ cal meaning. Most scholars, as a matter of fact, have limited themselves to discussing just one example, the so­called Simulazione by Lorenzo Lippi (fig. 1) in the museum of Angers which has acquired a certain prominence after having been chosen to decorate the cover of the Seicento exhibition in Paris in 1988.' In Lippi's painting, a woman with a serious expression on her face confronts the spectator with two objects in her hands, a mask and a pomegranate. Several art historians have interpreted one or both attributes as references to Simulatione in Cesare Ripa's Iconologia thus describing Lippi's woman as a personification of Simulation ­ or of a simi­ lar allegorical quality, Dissimulation.1 Chiara d'Afflitto went one step fur­ 1 See Seicento, exhibition catalogue, Paris 1988; the entry for the picture by A.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Casey Roth Dionysiac Art and Pastoral Escapism The pastoral lifestyle was appealing to many people in the Hellenistic and Roman world, as it provided an escape from the stresses of the city.1 This longing to flee the materialistic urban centers was reflected in art and literature, in which Dionysiac figures, such as satyrs or even herdsmen, were represented and described in this idealized environment and provided viewers with a sense of being carefree. Dionysiac elements in art and literature represented this escape from the chaotic city, overcoming boundaries to allow one to welcome a utopia.2 Not only were boundaries overcome in both a worldly and geographic sense, but also identity was challenged. As a result of escaping the city through pastoralism, one could abandon their identity as a civilian for an existence defined by pastoral bliss.3 Pastoralism was associated with an idyllic landscape and can act as an escape from reality.

Drew Armstrong, Associate Professor, History of Art and Architecture Kirk Savage, Professor, History of Art and Architecture Jennifer Waldron, Associate Professor, Department of English Dissertation Advisor: Ann Sutherland Harris, Professor Emerita, History of Art and Architecture ii Copyright © by James Reynolds Jewitt 2014 iii THE EVOLUTION OF LANDSCAPE IN VENETIAN PAINTING, 1475-1525 James R. 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.
