The Italian Cultural Institute of New York in Collaboration with the Metropolitan Museum of Art FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Italian Cultural Institute of New York in collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art Presents: BELLINI, TITIAN AND LOTTO: NORTH ITALIAN PAINTINGS FROM THE ACCADEMIA CARRARA BERGAMO A lecture on the Accademia Carrara exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art Tuesday, May 15, 2012- 6:30pm Location Italian Cultural Institute New York, 686 Park Avenue NYC New York, May 12, 2012 - The Italian Cultural Institute presents a lecture on the exhibition "BELLINI, TITIAN AND LOTTO: North Italian paintings from the Accademia Carrara, Bergamo", (May 15-September 3, 2012) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This event will feature the participation of M.Cristina Rodeschini, Head of Accademia Carrara & Galleria d'Arte Moderna Bergamo and Andrea Bayer, Curator of the Department of European paintings, Metropolitan Museum of Art. About the exhibition The exhibition will focus on the areas and specific works that make this collection so distinctive. Installed within the context of the Metropolitan Museum's own holdings of these same artists, the works will have an added resonance. The exhibition will be accompanied by a brief catalogue with essays written by Andrea Bayer and Maria Cristina Rodeschini. The publication will provide an introduction to the Accademia Carrara, its donors, and its history, and will characterize the group of paintings chosen for the exhibition. It will also include an illustrated checklist. The exhibition and accompanying publication illuminate not only the quality of the Accademia Carrara's holdings but also the unique position the museum occupies in the history of art, collecting, and connoisseurship in the northern Italian regions of Lombardy and the Veneto. The temporary closure and restoration of its galleries has made possible a welcome collaboration with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, bringing to New York fifteen superlative North Italian paintings from the Accademia's collection, all dating from 1450 to 1550, including Giovanni Bellini's haunting Pietà, the predella panels from Lorenzo Lotto's celebrated Martinengo Altarpiece, and Orpheus and Eurydice, a tour de force of Titian's early career. For further information http://www.metmuseum.org Lecturers Maria Cristina Rodeschini graduated in Modern Literature from the University of Milan and further specialized in her field by obtaining a diploma in Archive Studies, Paleography and Diplomatics at the State Archives in Milan. For a decade, she carried out activities as a historian of art for both public and private agencies. Her activities as a historian included conducting research and publishing texts. Her research focused on a variety of areas ranging from paintings and prints of the 16th century, with particular focus on the Lombardo and Veneto regions, to artistic culture of the 19th and 20th centuries to the history of art collecting ("collezionismo"). Starting in 1990, she became the curator of the Accademia Carrara of Bergamo and in 2005, she assumed the role as head of this academy as well as of the modern art gallery at Bergamo, also known as the Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea. Rodeschini has curated over 200 expositions, while having edited and published just as many important contributions to science. Dr. Andrea Bayer was educated at Barnard College and Princeton University. She has worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1989, first in the Department of Prints and Photographs and, from 1990, in the Department of European Paintings. There, she has been involved in numerous exhibitions. She has written extensively on north Italian painting of the Renaissance, including two Museum Bulletins on painting north of the Apennines, and a chapter on the arts of Brescia and Bergamo in artistic centers of the Italian Renaissance: Venice and the Veneto. Some of her lecturing in recent years has concentrated on collecting and connoisseurship, including a paper given last year on "Collecting North Italian Painting at the Metropolitan Museum". Dr. Bayer has been a Curator in the Department of European Paintings since 2007 and is also the Coordinating Curator for Curatorial Studies, the graduate program run by the Metropolitan Museum and the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU. She was the Interim Head of the Department of Education at the Metropolitan Museum in 2009 and is currently at work on a group of special projects for the Director's Office connected with the re-launch of the Museum's website and other initiatives related to the visitor's experience.

Under the guidance of its trustees at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, its advisory board, and its staff, the Italian Institute of Culture of New York conforms to this commitment by fostering the cultural exchange between Italy and the US in a variety of areas, from the arts to the humanities to science. Central to the Italian Cultural Institute's mission is a constant effort to encourage the understanding and enjoyment of Italian culture by organizing and promoting cultural events in collaboration with the most prominent academic and cultural institutions of the East Coast. The Italian Cultural Institute of New York focuses on the development of initiatives aimed at showcasing Italian excellence in various fields, such as science, technology, the arts and design. The development of academic exchanges, the organization and support of visual arts exhibitions, the grants for translation and publication of Italian books, the promotion of Italian studies, and the cooperation with local institutions in planning various events that focus on Italian music, dance, cinema, theater, architecture, literature, philosophy etc., are just a few examples of the Institute's initiatives. In conclusion, the Italian Cultural Institute of New York provides an "open window" on the cultural and social aspects of past and current Italy. The Accademia Carrara The Accademia Carrara, as guardian of three exceptional, formerly private collections-those of the Bergamo native Count Giacomo Carrara (1714-1796), founder of the institution, Guglielmo Lochis (1789- 1859), and the great connoisseur Giovanni Morelli (1826-1891)- the Accademia Carrara has served to transform the collecting practices and artistic pursuits of three individuals into a reflection of the cultural history of Bergamo, a civic-minded vision whose influence extends far beyond the city's borders. The museum has continued to increase its assets through acquisitions and generous donations by qualified private collectors connected with the city. As a result, the Accademia Carrara currently has eighteen hundred paintings that demonstrate the great works of artists between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. In addition to the principal collection of paintings, this museum also houses significant collections of drawings and prints, selected groups of bronzes, sculptures and porcelain as well as furniture and furnishings and a choice collection of medals. The Accademia Carrara now ranks among the most important museums of ancient art in Italy for quality and articulation of culture. The recently opened Gallery of Modern Art and the current renewal of the educational structure at the Carrara Academy of Fine Arts serve as strong signs of openness to the world of today's artistic culture. The Metropolitan Museum of Art The Metropolitan Museum of Art was founded on April 13, 1870, "to be located in the City of New York, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining in said city a Museum and library of art, of encouraging and developing the study of the fine arts, and the application of arts to manufacture and practical life, of advancing the general knowledge of kindred subjects, and, to that end, of furnishing popular instruction." This statement of purpose has guided the Museum for more than a century. The Trustees of The Metropolitan Museum of Art have reaffirmed the statement of purpose and supplemented it with the following statement of mission: The mission of The Metropolitan Museum of Art is to collect, preserve, study, exhibit, and stimulate appreciation for and advance knowledge of works of art that collectively represent the broadest spectrum of human achievement at the highest level of quality, all in the service of the public and in accordance with the highest professional standards.

    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal 2009, vol. 4 Body of Empire: Caterina Corner in Venetian History and Iconography Holly Hurlburt n 1578, a committee of government officials and monk and historian IGirolamo Bardi planned a program of redecoration for the Sala del Maggior Consiglio (Great Council Hall) and the adjoining Scrutinio, among the largest and most important rooms in the Venetian Doge’s Palace. Completed, the schema would recount Venetian history in terms of its international stature, its victories, and particularly its conquests; by the sixteenth century Venice had created a sizable maritime empire that stretched across the eastern Mediterranean, to which it added considerable holdings on the Italian mainland.1 Yet what many Venetians regarded as the jewel of its empire, the island of Cyprus, was calamitously lost to the Ottoman Turks in 1571, three years before the first of two fires that would necessitate the redecoration of these civic spaces.2 Anxiety about such a loss, fear of future threats, concern for Venice’s place in evolving geopolitics, and nostalgia for the past prompted the creation of this triumphant pro- gram, which featured thirty-five historical scenes on the walls surmounted by a chronological series of ducal portraits. Complementing these were twenty-one large narratives on the ceiling, flanked by smaller depictions of the city’s feats spanning the previous seven hundred years. The program culminated in the Maggior Consiglio, with Tintoretto’s massive Paradise on one wall and, on the ceiling, three depictions of allegorical Venice in triumph by Tintoretto, Veronese, and Palma il Giovane. These rooms, a center of republican authority, became a showcase for the skills of these and other artists, whose history paintings in particular underscore the deeds of men: clothed, in armor, partially nude, frontal and foreshortened, 61 62 EMWJ 2009, vol.

In reality, however, many talented painters struggled immensely to reach that top, while an even larger number of mediocre painters could only dream of fame and glory. This research is not primarily concerned with the elite artists, nor does it cover the many anonymous painter-craftsmen in the periphery of the art market. Instead, it is devoted to the middle group of ambitious and skilled artists trying to break out of the margins of the art world. Sixteenth-century Venice was a city with an abundance of churches, scuole and palaces, and was governed by a culturally sophisticated elite.

Lorenzo Lotto: Rediscovered Master of the Renaissance, on view November 2, 1997 - March 1, 1998, will include fifty works by this fascinating artist, whose work is not sufficiently well known in the United States. Lotto's portraits, allegories, and religious paintings, with their brilliant color and arresting details, have an idiosyncratic character not usually associated with the Renaissance. Many of the paintings in the show are being lent by churches and museums in the picturesque locations in Italy where Lotto originally worked. The exhibition is organized by the National Gallery of Art, in association with the Accademia Carrara di Belle Arti, Bergamo, one of the premier repositories of Lotto's work. The National Gallery of Art will be the only venue in the United States.

Ritratto di un uomo con simboli: Lorenzo Lotto on Vice and Virtue Abstract The ra t of Lorenzo de Tomasso Lotto (1480-1557) has until recently gained critical attention. Lotto, born in Venice to Tomasso Lotto, lived and traveled throughout Italy. The Portrait of Man with Allegorical Symbols on display at the El Paso Museum of Art is one of Lotto’s most elusive paintings. A man of about thirty years of age is portrayed on a neutral background and divides a set of six allegorical symbols in axially. He gestures toward a set of three symbols hanging from a festoon of laurel leaves: an armillary sphere, intertwined palm branches, and a full-blown bladder. A number of scholars have attempted to identify Lotto’s Ritratto as a self- portrait, a portrait of Marcello Framberti, or an Italian alchemist. These interpretations, however, are not supported by the available evidence. Confining the sitter to a particular identity limits interpretive possibilities and ignores historical and cultural contexts. Thus, this piece examines the portrait as a whole, situating it within its historical, cultural, and artistic contexts, and proposes that Lotto’s Ritratto alludes to a meaning that is philosophical, open-ended, and universal rather than specific nda particular.

  • Hebrew, Hieroglyphs, and the Secrets of Divine Wisdom in Ludovico Mazzolino's Devotional Paintings
    -5­ Hebrew, Hieroglyphs, and the Secrets of Divine Wisdom in Ludovico Mazzolino's Devotional Paintings Giancarlo Fiorenza ecrecy operated on many levels within Renaissance court society. At Ferrara, the mecha­ nisms of secrecy helped shape and define the rule of Alfonso I d'Este (1476-1534; duke S from 1505). His biographer, Paolo Giovio, observed that the duke frequently retreated to a secret room ("stanza secreta") in the Ferrarese castle, which was set up like a workshop ("bot­ tega"), in order to create a variety of decorative and sculpted objects, activities he performed to relax his spirit and escape idleness ("per fuggire l'otio") .1 Within the se private chambers- rooms not so much hidden as separated from the common areas and reserved for the duke-Alfonso combined solitude with industry, and leisure with sprezzatura, leaving his subjects to marvel at the virtuosity fueling princely performance.2 Visitors granted access to these spaces bore witness to the practice of seclusion as an agent of production and authority, an ideology that informs other works of art celebrating the duke: from the inscriptions invoking quies and solus on Antonio Lombardo's marble reliefs (ca. 1508), once displayed in the private suite ofrooms in the ducal resi­ dence known as the camerini d'alabastro (possibly near the stanz a secreta mentioned above),3 to Mercury's gesture of silence in Dosso Dossi's Jupiter Painting Butterflies (ca. 1524; National Art Collection, Wawel Royal Castle, Kark6w) (fig. 5.1), executed most likely for the Villa Belvedere, a I.

  • Metaphoric Conceptualization and Gesture Analysis in Painted Representations of the Annunciation
    Annuntiatio Domini: Metaphoric conceptualization and gesture analysis in painted representations of the Annunciation Fabio Indìo Massimo Poppi & Peter Kravanja In this article, we analyze ten artistic paintings of the Annunciation ranging from the XV century to the XX century in order to describe how the interaction between pictorially represented gestures and other pictorial elements allows them to convey more abstract meanings. Applying a historical approach to the gestures expressed by Mary, we show how — despite the different artistic approaches and sensitivities — her hand gestures always have a primary importance in conveying the meanings of PRUDENCE, CAUTION, FEAR, SURPRISE, CONCERN and GRATITUDE. We show how such gestures can be related to ordinary linguistic expressions that present analogous meanings. It is thus shown how gestural metaphor may interact with other modalities in pictorial representations. Keywords: annunciation; art; conceptual metaphor; metaphoric gesture; painting; pictorial metaphor 1. Introduction Since conceptual metaphors began to be investigated beyond linguistic manifestations (see, e.g., Gibbs, 2008), research has encountered new challenges. On the one hand, met- aphors are analyzed in terms of pictorial stimuli (Forceville, 2006), gesture (Cienki and Müller, 2008), music (Zbikowski, 2008) and multimodal representations such as film (Coëgnarts and Kravanja, 2012a; 2012b). On the other hand, research tends to consider these representations without considering the interaction between modalities.1 In addition, although non-linguistic modalities occupy a central role in research, only a few studies have taken into account how metaphors are conveyed in artistic paintings. To begin addressing this gap, we investigate ten paintings of the Annunciation – the Gospel event regarding the announcement by the Angel Gabriel to Virgin Mary that she would conceive and become the mother of Jesus, the Son of God, marking his Incar- nation – ranging from the XV century to the XX century.
