Rubens's Peasant Dance in the Prado
1 David Freedberg Rubens’s Peasant Dance in the Prado.1 Today I want to talk about one of Rubens’s most enchanting paintings, his Dance of Mythological Figures and Villagers in the Prado.2 It is one of his most loveable and most important late works, and though it has been much admired, it has not received anything like the attention, let alone the commentary it deserves. To anyone who knows Rubens’s work, it is clear that the picture must have been painted in the last decade of his life, when, after his long courtly and diplomatic labors, he retired to the countryside with his young bride, Hélène Fourment. There, although he kept his studio in Antwerp very busy with an incessant flow of commissions, both religious and mythological, he concentrated on two main themes: his family, and the life of the Flemish countryside. He painted the landscape he grew to love deeply, and he painted the peasants who lived in it with a mixture of candor, affection, and respect for both their labors and their pleasures. The painting fits perfectly with what we know about Rubens in the 1630s, but when it was painted within that decade is another question. There are many indicators of a date well into the 1630s: the beautiful glow in the evening sky, suffusing the blue sky and wispy clouds, the softness of the dense foliage, the delicate treatment of the farmhouse with its enticing terrace on the right. Consider also the magnificent coloristic treatment of this picture: the ravishing changeant on the lilac dress of the young woman just catching up on the dance in the center rear of the 1 Originally given as a lecture sponsored by the Fondación Amigos Museo del Prado at the Museo del Prado on February 2, 2004 and published as “La ‘Danza de aldeanos’ de Rubens en el Prado,” in Historias Mortales: La vida cotidiana en el arte, Madrid: Fundación Amigos del Museo del Prado; Barcelona: Galaxia Gutenberg/Círcolo de Lectores, 2004, 128-142. -

Winter iii Abstract: In the Renaissance, the bodies of individuals were understood as guides to their internal identities, which influenced the public understanding of the figure represented in art—be it in terms of politics, personal life, or legacy. The classicizing and religious paintings by Titian (c. 1488/90-1576) show the subject’s state of being, at a particular moment in a story, through the use of body language. The body is a vehicle for narrative that demonstrates the sitter’s identity, relating the intricacies of the body to both the mind and the story. By exploring the humanist combination of philosophical theories regarding the relationship between the soul and the body, it is clear that Titian used these concepts to elevate the human figures in his narrative paintings. Formal analysis and Renaissance artistic theories by Alberti and others suggest that Renaissance artists operated under the assumption that how their sitters appeared was tantamount to representing their identities. Current scholarship has not yet considered this particular relationship in Titian’s works. -

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. -

Titian, ,A Singular Friend'
Originalveröffentlichung in: Kunst und Humanismus. Festschrift für Gosbert Schüßler zum 60. Geburtstag, herausgegeben von Wolfgang Augustyn und Eckhard Leuschner, Dietmar Klinger Verlag, Passau 2007, S. 261-301 CHARLES DAVIS Titian, ,A singular friend‘ A beautiful, if somewhat mysterious portrait painted by Tiziano Vecellio has found its ,last‘ home in the new world, in far away San Francisco, in a place, that is, which de- rives its name from a Spanish novel describing a paradisiacal island called California (figs. 1, 2, 3). Titian’s authorship of the portrait, now belonging to the San Francisco Art Museums and presently housed at the Palace of the Legion of Honor, is testified to by the painter’s signature, and it has never been questioned since the portrait first re- ceived public notice, belatedly, in 1844, when it appeared in the collection of the Mar- quis of Lansdowne. Less spectacular than some of Titian’s best known portraits, the portrait now in California nonetheless belongs to his finest portrayals of the men of his time. Several identifications have been proposed for the sitter, but none advanced with particular conviction. Although the nameless portrait testifies eloquently to the exi- stence of a noble man at rest, whose existence it indeed preserves and continues, his worldly identity remains an unresolved point of interest.1 The San Francisco Art Museums’ ,Portrait of a Gentleman‘ bear’s Titian’s signa- · ture in the inscription which the sitter holds. It reads unequivocally: D Titiano Vecel- lio / Singolare Amico. In all publications the inscription has been read: Di Tiziano sin- golare amico. -
Dalí's Religious Models: the Iconography of Martyrdom and Its Contemplation
Dalí's Religious Models: the Iconography of Martyrdom and its Contemplation © Miguel Escribano 2012 A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Department of Art History and Theory University of Essex February 2012 ii Summary This thesis investigates Dalí’s adoption of religious iconography to help represent themes that he had conceptualised through Surrealism, psychoanalysis and other thought systems. His selective use of sources was closely bound to his life circumstances, and I integrate biographical details in my analysis of his paintings. I identify unexpected sources of Dalí's images, and demonstrate how alert he was to the psychological motivations of traditional art. I find he made especial use of the iconography of martyrdom – and the perceptual and cognitive mechanics of the contemplation of death – that foreground the problem of the sexual and mortal self. Part I examines the period 1925-7, when Dalí developed an aesthetic outlook in dialogue with Lorca, formulated in his text, 'Sant Sebastià'. Representations of Sebastian and other martyr saints provided patterns for Dalí's exposition of the generative and degenerating self. In three chapters, based on three paintings, I plot the shift in Dalí's focus from the surface of the physical body – wilfully resistant to emotional engagement, and with classical statuary as a model – to its problematic interior, vulnerable to forces of desire and corruption. This section shows how Dalí's engagement with religious art paradoxically brought him into alignment with Surrealism. In Part II, I contend that many of the familiar images of Dalí’s Surrealist period – in which he considered the self as a fundamentally psychic rather than physical entity – can be traced to the iconography of contemplative saints, particularly Jerome. -
La Schiavona’
NATG011_P0022EDtitianNature:Layout 1 23/2/12 15:42 Page 26 NATG011_P0027EDtitianNature:Layout 1 1/3/12 12:04 Page 27 TITIAN: A FRESH LOOK AT NATURE Reaching maturity in portraiture: ‘La Schiavona’ We conclude this group of faces with the first of Titian’s truly mature portraits: the National Gallery’s so-called ‘La Schiavona’ (literally, ‘The Woman from Slavonia’; the model is thought to have been of Dalmatian origin) (fig. 14). This portrait radiates contentment and self-confidence, and a remarkable power; the sitter has almost been elevated to the status of Roman matron! When the painting was in the Crespi collection in Milan in the early twentieth century it was hung at the end of a long series of doors, to give the impression of the lady of the house welcoming guests, while jealously guarding her property. The figure fills the surrounding space with total confidence. Any timidity such as might be found in the work of Giorgione has vanished; here Titian reaches a standard so high that he could maintain but never surpass it. This signals the beginning of a mature classicism that culminates in such great achievements as Bacchus and Ariadne in the National Gallery. The ‘Schiavona’ provides a perfect parallel with the frescoes executed by Titian between late 1510 and 1511 in the Scuola del Santo in Padua. There are a number of other ‘matrons’ portrayed here, particularly on the right side of the Miracle of the Speaking Infant. It has often been remarked that, with the ‘Schiavona’, Titian intended deliberately to exalt painting above other arts: by including the sculpted bas-relief on the parapet, he seems to proclaim: ‘This is painting, mother of all the arts!’ Fig.
