ITALIA MALTA Sulle Tracce Di Caravaggio E Dei Caravaggeschi Percorrendo La Vita Del Sommo Pittore, Tra Salvezza E Perdizione 9 Giorni in Hotel ITALIA MALTA Sulle tracce di Caravaggio e dei Caravaggeschi Percorrendo la vita del sommo pittore, tra salvezza e perdizione 9 giorni in hotel Un itinerario per gli amanti della storia dell’arte e in particolare per coloro che sono interessati a scoprire nel profondo uno dei più noti pittori italiani nel mondo. Percorreremo i luoghi della vita di Michelangelo Merisi, detto il Caravaggio. Attraverso le sue opere cercheremo di trasmettere le sue emozioni, dalle sue gioie ai suoi tormenti, dalla nascita nel capoluogo lombardo, al luogo che lo vide recluso e da cui riuscì ad evadere, il forte Sant’Angelo a Malta. Rileggeremo le opere d’arte di questo amato e ammirato artista sotto una lente totalmente inedita e a tratti sconvolgente, cercando di comprendere la ragione per cui, nonostante i numerosi documenti e saggi a lui dedicati, egli rimanga avvolto da un affascinante mistero. Luce e tenebre, salvezza e perdizione, in quell’intreccio tra arte, vita e morte che rende i suoi lavori così emozionanti. La rigorosa analisi delle opere sarà affiancata a rievocazioni aneddotiche e anche divertenti di episodi di vita vissuta. Non saranno trascurati i Caravaggeschi, pittori meno conosciuti ma assai significativi, come Mattia Preti, Orazio Borgianni, Battistello Caracciolo e altri ancora. Il viaggio sarà condotto da uno dei nostri esperti tour leader e, a rendere questa esperienza unica, sarà la guida culturale: il prof. Sergio Rossi, che metterà a disposizione dei viaggiatori i suoi trent’anni di studi caravaggeschi. PROGRAMMA DI VIAGGIO – Partenza 24 marzo 2017 1° giorno / Milano Appuntamento al mattino alle 11.00 presso la Pinacoteca di Brera , dove si trova la Cena in Emmaus del 1606, capolavoro del tardo periodo romano. Ci soffermeremo nella sala XXIX, quella di Caravaggio, che comprende anche dipinti di Mattia Preti, Ribera, Battistello Caracciolo, Gentileschi e Giordano, ma analizzeremo anche alcune opere fondamentali di Mantegna, Bellini, Piero della Francesca e Raffaello. Pranzo libero e nel primo pomeriggio visita alla Pinacoteca Ambrosiana con la celeberrima Canestra di frutta , del 1597/99 circa, appartenuta al cardinale Federico Borromeo. Nel pomeriggio intorno alle 17 incontro presso gli uffici de I Viaggi di Maurizio Levi a Milano , dove il prof. Sergio Rossi, la guida del viaggio nonché ideatore di questo progetto, terrà un discorso preliminare su Caravaggio, che faccia da introduzione al tour, e consegnerà ai partecipanti un suo dossier inedito. Seguirà un emozionante concerto di musiche barocche del maestro liutista Carlo Stringhi. Al termine cena libera e pernottamento in hotel. NB: Abbiamo deciso di cominciare il tour da Milano perché dagli ultimi documenti è ormai accertato che Michelangelo Merisi è nato a Milano il 29 settembre del 1571 (e non a Caravaggio dove si pensava) ed è stato battezzato il giorno dopo presso la parrocchia di Santa Maria della Passerella, ora soppressa. 2° giorno / Milano – Roma Al mattino presto trasferimento alla stazione centrale e partenza con Treno Frecciarossa per Roma . Fino a pochissimo tempo fa si pensava che l’arrivo del Merisi a Roma fosse avvenuto nel 1592; recenti ricerche hanno spostato questa data di due o tre anni. Intera mattinata dedicata alla Galleria Borghese , che ospita sei capolavori di Caravaggio dal 1594 al 1610 circa: Bacchino malato , 1594 circa, Ragazzo con canestro di frutta , di poco posteriore, Madonna dei Palafrenieri , 1605/06, S. Gerolamo Scrivente , 1506, S. Giovanni Battista , 1609/10, David e Golia , 1610. Pranzo libero. Nel primo pomeriggio visiteremo i capolavori conservati presso la Cappella Contarelli in S. Luigi dei Francesi (1599-1601), la Madonna dei Pellegrini (1604-05) nella basilica di S. Agostino , la Cappella Cerasi (1600-01) nella Basilica di Santa Maria del Popolo , tutti riconducibili per la data di esecuzione o per il contenuto al Giubileo del 1600. In base al tempo a disposizione, gireremo nei luoghi del centro di Roma che Caravaggio ha frequentato o dove ha addirittura vissuto: Palazzo Giustiniani, Piazza Navona, Palazzo Firenze, vicolo del Divino Amore, via della Pallacorda. Cena libera e pernottamento in hotel. 3° giorno / Roma Al mattino visita della Galleria di Palazzo Barberini , con la Giuditta e Oloferne del 1598-99 e il Narciso dello stesso periodo. Quindi, oltre che sulla celeberrima Fornarina di Raffaello, ci soffermeremo su altri capolavori seicenteschi di Giovanni Baglione, Guercino, Orazio Borgianni, Mattia Preti, Simon Vouet e Valentin de Boulogne. Ci trasferiremo poi presso il Casino Boncompagni Ludovisi , dove si conserva l’unico affresco noto di Caravaggio: Giove, Plutone e Nettuno del 1597 circa, oltre alla splendida Aurora del Guercino. Pranzo libero. Di pomeriggio visita alla Galleria Doria Pamphilj , con i due splendidi dipinti giovanili del Riposo durante la fuga in Egitto e della Maddalena Penitente , entrambi del 1596/97 circa. Daremo anche un rapido sguardo ai numerosi capolavori seicenteschi, dai Carracci al Velazquez, conservati nella Galleria. Cena libera e pernottamento in hotel. 4° giorno / Roma – Napoli Di buon mattino trasferimento alla stazione e partenza con treno per Napoli . Caravaggio soggiornerà a Napoli in un primo momento dalla fine del 1606 alla fine del 1607 e successivamente dall’ottobre del 1609 al luglio del 1610. Noi inizieremo la nostra visita dal Museo di Capodimonte con la Flagellazione di Cristo del 1607 e con un rapido sguardo ai numerosissimi altri capolavori seicenteschi, tra cui L’Ercole al Bivio di Annibale Carracci, il S. Sebastiano e due Bozzetti per la peste di Mattia Preti. Pranzo libero. Di pomeriggio visita al Pio Monte della Misericordia con uno dei massimi capolavori di tutti i tempi, ossia le Sette opere di Misericordia (del 1607), e alla Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta . Cena e pernottamento in hotel. 5° giorno / Napoli – Catanzaro Al mattino visita del Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano , con il caravaggesco Martirio di S. Orsola del 1610, e della chiesa di S. Domenico Maggiore . Partenza per Catanzaro. Arrivo in serata. Cena libera e pernottamento in hotel. 6° giorno / Catanzaro – Taverna – Messina – Catania Di buon mattino partenza per Taverna per la visita della cittadina del pittore Mattia Preti (Taverna 1613-La Valletta 1699), un autentico gioiello semi sconosciuto della piccola Sila. Può essere considerata una sorta di città-museo tutta dedicata al suo illustre concittadino. Visita del Museo Preti e partenza per Messina , dove Caravaggio è giunto all’inizio del 1609. Pranzo libero lungo strada. Arrivo e visita del Museo Regionale, con i tardi capolavori della Resurrezione di Lazzaro e dell’ Adorazione dei pastori (entrambi del 1609). Trasferimento a Catania per la cena libera e il pernottamento. 7° giorno / Catania – Siracusa – Pozzallo – Malta Al mattino partenza per Siracusa, dove Caravaggio è sbarcato nell’ottobre del 1608. Visita alla chiesa di S. Lucia alla Badia per ammirare il Seppellimento di S. Lucia , 1608, opera contesa fra due rioni di Siracusa. Si prosegue con il Museo di Palazzo Bellomo e la Cattedrale . Pranzo libero e partenza per il porto di Pozzallo. Nel tardo pomeriggio imbarco sul traghetto per La Valletta . Arrivo in serata, trasferimento in hotel a Sliema, cittadina alle porte della capitale. Cena libera e pernottamento in hotel. 8° giorno / Malta Caravaggio a Malta ha soggiornato dalla fine del 1607 all’ottobre del 1608, un solo anno nel quale egli è riuscito a farsi nominare Cavaliere di Grazia, farsi incarcerare per motivi ancora non del tutto chiariti e fuggire dalla prigione in cui era detenuto. Mattia Preti invece ha vissuto a La Valletta dal 1661 fino alla sua morte nel 1699 ed è stato nominato anch’egli Cavaliere di Grazia. Qui pare abbia eseguito circa 400 opere. Mattinata interamente dedicata alla Co-Cattedrale di San Giovanni , con la Decollazione del Battista e il S. Gerolamo , entrambi del 1608, e la monumentale decorazione a fresco della chiesa ad opera di Mattia Preti. Pranzo libero. Di pomeriggio primo giro della città, compreso il Forte di Sant’Angelo (dall’esterno) dove fu recluso Caravaggio. Cena libera e pernottamento in hotel. 9° giorno / Malta – partenza In mattinata trasferimento in aeroporto e volo per Roma Fiumicino o per Milano Malpensa, con scalo a Roma. Giornata extra facoltativa con quota a partire da euro 130 in base al numero di iscritti (senza il professore e l’accompagnatore): Al mattino visita del Museo Nazionale di Belle Arti , con capolavori tra gli altri di Guido Reni, Mattia Preti, Matthias Stomer e Valentin de Boulogne. Pranzo libero e nel pomeriggio gita a Mdina , l’antica capitale di Malta, conosciuta anche come città vecchia, dove visiteremo tra gli altri monumenti la Cattedrale di San Paolo , con ulteriori capolavori di Mattia Preti come la Conversione di San Paolo.

Curran Associate Professor of Art History Dissertation Co-Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Elizabeth J. Walters Associate Professor of Art History Simone Osthoff Associate Professor of Art Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head of the Department of Art History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii Abstract The Cristo yacente, or supine Christ, is a sculptural type whose origins date back to the Middle Ages. In seventeenth-century Spain these images became immensely popular as devotional aids and vehicles for spiritual contemplation. As a form of sacred drama these sculptures encouraged the faithful to reflect upon the suffering, death, and Resurrection of Christ as well as His promise of salvation. Perhaps the most well-known example of this type is by the Valladolidian sculptor, Gregorio Fernández (1576-1636). Located in the Capuchin Convent of El Pardo near Madrid, this work was created in accordance with Counter-Reformation mandates that required religious images inspire both piety and empathy. As a “semi-narrative”, the Cristo yacente encompasses different moments in the Passion of Christ, including the Lamentation, Anointment, and Entombment.

  • Saint Matthews
    Luis Tristán (1580/1585 - 1624) Saint Matthews Oil on canvas Measurements: 107 x 77 cm Spanish XVII century Painted about 1613 Description Apostle Saint Matthews? Saint Jude Tadeo?, Saint Matías ? or Saint Thomas ? AN APOSTLE BY LUIS TRISTÁN: RELATIONSHIP WITH EL GRECO, RIBERA, VELAZQUEZ AND THE NEW ITALIAN NATURALISTIC CURRENTS. The work we are studying represents an apostle in all his splendour and monumentality, whose iconographic identification is doubtful since the only attribute appearing is the halberd which is common to various apostles. Saint Matthews, creator of the first Gospel and Saint Jude Tadeo, also represented by El Greco with a halberd, are the most probable; San Matías is less probable due to having been martirized with an axe; and Saint Thomas, although the attribute does not correspond, since he died pierced by a lance, also could be the apostle represented due to his close relationship to the composition with the Saint Thomas of the Apostles by El Greco (El Greco Museum, Toledo) and the Saint Thomas by Velazquez (Orleans Museum). The painter certainly did not wish to centre his attention on an individualized identification of the saint, but rather on his general symbology as apostle: the halberd or lance with regard to his martyrdom as a form of death, the heavy tunic, with imposing folds, referring to his mighty task of spreading the Gospel continuously for the Church and the strong expression on his face in allusion to his tenacious character and indomitable conviction needed to accomplish his mission. The work can be attributed to the best work of Luis Tristán, and due to its quality may be considered a masterpiece carried out just on his return from his journey to Italy, in about 1613 when his spirit was still teeming excitedly with the ideas gathered in El Greco’s workshop and his contact with the modern Roman naturalistic currents shared with the young José Ribera.

  • 1 Caravaggio and a Neuroarthistory Of
    CARAVAGGIO AND A NEUROARTHISTORY OF ENGAGEMENT Kajsa Berg A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia September 2009 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on the condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author’s prior written consent. 1 Abstract ABSTRACT John Onians, David Freedberg and Norman Bryson have all suggested that neuroscience may be particularly useful in examining emotional responses to art. This thesis presents a neuroarthistorical approach to viewer engagement in order to examine Caravaggio’s paintings and the responses of early-seventeenth-century viewers in Rome. Data concerning mirror neurons suggests that people engaged empathetically with Caravaggio’s paintings because of his innovative use of movement. While spiritual exercises have been connected to Caravaggio’s interpretation of subject matter, knowledge about neural plasticity (how the brain changes as a result of experience and training), indicates that people who continually practiced these exercises would be more susceptible to emotionally engaging imagery. The thesis develops Baxandall’s concept of the ‘period eye’ in order to demonstrate that neuroscience is useful in context specific art-historical queries. Applying data concerning the ‘contextual brain’ facilitates the examination of both the cognitive skills and the emotional factors involved in viewer engagement. The skilful rendering of gestures and expressions was a part of the artist’s repertoire and Artemisia Gentileschi’s adaptation of the violent action emphasised in Caravaggio’s Judith Beheading Holofernes testifies to her engagement with his painting.

  • TASTE and PRUDENCE in the ART of JUSEPE DE RIBERA by Hannah Joy Friedman a Dissertation Submitted to the Johns Hopkins Universit
    TASTE AND PRUDENCE IN THE ART OF JUSEPE DE RIBERA by Hannah Joy Friedman A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May, 2016 Copyright Hannah Joy Friedman, 2016 (c) Abstract: Throughout his long career in southern Italy, the Spanish artist Jusepe de Ribera (1591- 1652) showed a vested interest in the shifting practices and expectations that went into looking at pictures. As I argue, the artist’s evident preoccupation with sensory experience is inseparable from his attention to the ways in which people evaluated and spoke about art. Ribera’s depictions of sensory experience, in works such as the circa 1615 Five Senses, the circa 1622 Studies of Features, and the 1637 Isaac Blessing Jacob, approach the subject of the bodily senses in terms of evaluation and questioning, emphasizing the link between sensory experience and prudence. Ribera worked at a time and place when practices of connoisseurship were not, as they are today, a narrow set of preoccupations with attribution and chronology but a wide range of qualitative evaluations, and early sources describe him as a tasteful participant in a spoken connoisseurial culture. In these texts, the usage of the term “taste,” gusto, links the assessment of Ribera’s work to his own capacity to judge the works of other artists. Both taste and prudence were crucial social skills within the courtly culture that composed the upper tier of Ribera’s audience, and his pictures respond to the tensions surrounding sincerity of expression or acceptance of sensory experience in a novel and often satirical vein.

AROUND THE LAMENTATION OVER THE DEAD CHRIST Annibale Carracci’s Lamentation over the Dead Christ is coming to Brera 2 to engage in dialogue with Andrea Mantegna’s masterpiece. rom 16 June to 25 September 2016 the Pinacoteca di Brera will be hosting a spectacular new dialogue between two masterpieces in the history of world art: FAndrea Mantegna’s Lamentation over the Dead Christ, one of the Milan picture gallery’s most emblematic works and a universal icon of the Renaissance, and the Corpse of Christ (or The Body of Christ and the Implements of His Martyrdom), a version of the same subject painted by Annibale Carracci in 1583–1585 and on loan from the Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart. The two works, displayed side by side for the very first time, comprise the second outstanding dialogue devised by the Pinacoteca di Brera, a museum in the process of renewing its approach in an effort to offer its visitors food for thought with a collec- tion that includes some of the most important masterpieces of painting in the world. Mantegna’s work will be shown not only alongside Carracci’s version but also with another version of the same theme, the Lamentation over the Dead Christ, painted by Orazio Borgianni in 1615 and on loan from the Galleria Spada in Rome.

  • Michael Sweerts (1618-1664) and the Academic Tradition
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MICHAEL SWEERTS (1618-1664) AND THE ACADEMIC TRADITION Lara Rebecca Yeager-Crasselt, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Professor Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr., Department of Art History and Archaeology This dissertation examines the career of Flemish artist Michael Sweerts (1618-1664) in Brussels and Rome, and his place in the development of an academic tradition in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century. Sweerts demonstrated a deep interest in artistic practice, theory and pedagogy over the course of his career, which found remarkable expression in a number of paintings that represent artists learning and practicing their profession. In studios and local neighborhoods, Sweerts depicts artists drawing or painting after antique sculpture and live models, reflecting the coalescence of Northern and Southern attitudes towards the education of artists and the function and meaning of the early modern academy. By shifting the emphasis on Sweerts away from the Bamboccianti – the contemporary group of Dutch and Flemish genre painters who depicted Rome’s everyday subject matter – to a different set of artistic traditions, this dissertation is able to approach the artist from new contextual and theoretical perspectives. It firmly situates Sweerts within the artistic and intellectual contexts of his native Brussels, examining the classicistic traditions and tapestry industry that he encountered as a young, aspiring artist. It positions him and his work in relation to the Italian academic culture he experienced in Rome, as well as investigating his engagement with the work of the Flemish sculptor François Duquesnoy (1597-1643) and the French painter Nicholas Poussin (1594-1665). The breadth of Sweerts’ artistic and academic pursuits ultimately provide significant insight into the ways in which the Netherlandish artistic traditions of naturalism and working from life coalesced with the theoretical and practical aims of the academy.

  • Making Self Portraits
    Podcast transcript MAKING SELF PORTRAITS Hello, and welcome to a podcast from Royal Collection Trust. Today's lecture at The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace, is given by Lucy Peter, Assistant Curator of Paintings. In this lecture, Lucy talks about the art of creating a self-portrait. Other talks and lectures within our events programme can be found using our what's on guide on our website. So hello, and welcome to The Queen's Gallery, for those of you who haven't been here before. So as Lexi said, I'm Lucy Peter and I'm Assistant Curator at Royal Collection Trust. Today, in this talk, I'm going to be looking really at how artists made self-portraits. Firstly, thinking about the production and availability of mirrors and what impact the invention of flat glass mirrors had on the development of self-portraiture in general. And then in the second half I'm going to be looking at how artists use mirrors to paint self-portraits and what unique challenges this presented them with. So really to start with I just want to say that before the invention of photography artists had to use mirrors to produce self-portraits. Thus one of the fundamental, practical considerations with painted self-portraits, and easy to forget today, was the availability and the quality of the mirrors. The mirror, as we know it today, a flat glass surface with a metal coated back, was not invented until around 1500. And before this, artists had to make do with what mirrors were available, which invariably would produce either a discoloured or a distorted reflection.
