Cristo Morto Circa 1640 Gilt Bronze, on a Wooden Cross 75 X 35.5 Cm (29 ¹/₂ X 14 Inches) Ferdinando Tacca (1619 - 1686) Cristo Morto circa 1640 Gilt bronze, on a wooden cross 75 x 35.5 cm (29 ¹/₂ x 14 inches) In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, Ferdinando Tacca’s father Pietro (1577–1640) had been the principal assistant of Giambologna (1529–1608), the Medici Grand Dukes’ court sculptor in Florence. Upon Giambologna’s death, Pietro had inherited his workshop – including its annexed foundry and precious models – located at Borgo Pinti, where the young Ferdinando would later be apprenticed as a sculptor. Having worked alongside his father on several commissions, Ferdinando in turn inherited the Borgo Pinti studio in 1640, and succeeded his father and Giambologna as the primary sculptor to the Grand Dukes of Tuscany. Ferdinando focused principally on small scale bronzes (with the exception of major commissions he completed after his father’s death, such as the statue of Ferdinando I de' Medici for the Cappella dei Principi, San Lorenzo, Florence, and the equestrian statue of Philip IV for Madrid), until the commission of a theatre for the Medici in 1654, the Teatro della Pergola, for which he was listed not only as architect and designer, but also the engineer. His experience in the theatre led to designing spectacles for the court, and in 1656 he was appointed the designer for Medici festivities and religious rites. A few years later, still enjoying Medici patronage, Tacca was appointed engineer of the Medici buildings and fortifications. The present representation of Christ on the Cross, his head cast down after having exhaled his last breath, is compositionally and stylistically characteristic of Ferdinando Tacca’s work inspired by his father’s models. The position of Christ’s body and the way in which the perizonium is tied around his loins reflect a type devised by Pietro Tacca, epitomised by his life-size bronze Crucifix in the Chapel of the Sagrada Forma at the Escorial Royal Complex near Madrid, cast for King Philip III of Spain in 1616, and other famous examples in the Duomo of Pisa in Italy and for the city of Pistoia (now National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.). In these devotional bronzes, Tacca combined Giambologna’s Mannerist sensibility (seen in the curving pose of Christ’s body) and idealisation (visible in details such as the anatomy of the legs and Christ’s elegantly parted curls of hair) with a new interest in the representation of suffering and emotion – conveyed through the accentuated gauntness of Christ’s torso, the tension in his arms and clavicle, and his large, distressed eyes – that heralds the Baroque period. Ferdinando reprised his father’s models most famously in the Crucifix for the Duomo of Prato, in Tuscany, which is closely related to the present bronze. Another example of Ferdinando’s treatment of this composition is a recently rediscovered life-size bronze Cristo Morto (Plasmato dal Fuoco, cat. no. 20; fig. 3), which scholar Sandro Bellesi has identified with the one originally cast by the Florentine artist between 1647 and 1650 for Prince Carlo I Cybo Malaspina for the Chapel of the Ducal palace in Massa, Tuscany. The stylistic traits and quality of execution of the Prato and formerly Massa Crucifixes find parallels, in jewel-like form, in the present gilt bronze Cristo Morto, with its clarity of surface detail and accurate anatomical definition of tendons and muscles, contracted under the skin to convey the pathos of Christ’s sacrifice. Conceived, on account of its size, for private devotion rather than a church altar, this exquisite bronze displays traits characteristic of Ferdinando’s work, such as the treatment of the skin torn by nails on hands and feet, the punctual rendering of Christ’s toes, the elongated shape of his face and the large, almond one of his eyes, and the painstaking definition of the ribcage, softly polished to contrast with the small yet powerful wound in his side.

  • Ferdinando Tacca
    Ferdinando Tacca (Florence, 1619-1686) Moor with his arms behind his back and one knee resting on a barrel Terracotta 33 cm high Expertise by Sandro Bellesi In a perfect state of conservation, this work of outstanding stylistic merit offers a notably realist interpretation of a powerful male figure with Middle-Eastern features, his right knee resting on a barrel and his hands crossed behind his back. The almost nude figure, leaning forward in a forced position, is characterised by its extreme naturalism deriving from careful preparatory study. This is evident in the impeccable definition of the anatomy, which rigorously emphasises the figure’s vitality through the dynamic muscles, contracted tendons and nerves that palpitate beneath the skin. The energy transmitted by this figure, its face characterised by regular features framed by exotic “Turkish” whiskers, is also splendidly emphasised through the vitality of the gaze or rather through the profound, eloquent eyes. The figure’s anatomical characteristics and in particular the position of the body clearly recall the famous Quattro Mori executed in bronze by Pietro Tacca between 1623 and 1626 for the base of Giovanni Bandini’s Monument to Ferdinand I installed in 1599 on the quayside of Livorno harbour (for the monument and the figures on its base, see A. Brook, Pietro Tacca a Livorno. Il Monumento a Ferdinando I de Medici, Livorno, 2008). As archival and early sources reveal, for the execution of those figures (and the similar ones commissioned for the Monument to Henri IV of France for the Pont Neuf in Paris, subsequently executed by Pietro Francavilla) Tacca made various visits to prisons in Livorno in order to study some of the Saracen pirates captured by the Medici fleet during raids on the Tuscan coastline.

  • January 2019 P&F Newsletter LONG
    WELCOME This is the time of year for residents - the halls of galleries and museums are peaceful, making it the ideal moment to linger over attractions that are usually crowded with tourists. Winter is also the season to travel into the hills for skiing and thermal baths, and immersing in the fashion events that take over the city centre. Or if you’d prefer to hide from the cold, then bundle up, light the fire (or a few candles), pour a nice glass of Chianti and snuggle in under a warm blanket. Warmest best wishes for a 2019 filled with joy, laughter, and good health, from SUZANNE, CORSO, BEI, LESLIE, VANNI, ANNA PIA, RAFFAELLA, AND MARISA. PITCHER & FLACCOMIO PICKS FOR JANUARY BEST EVENT FOR JANUARY: LA BEFANA VISITS DURING THE EPIPHANY January 6 On January 6, La Befana arrives in Florence and this is Italy's traditional day of gift giving. In the Christian tradition the name "Befana" is a popular version of the Greek term “Epiphany", which was the festivity following Christmas commemorating the visit of the Magi. According to the legend the three wise men on their journey were stopped by an old woman with a broom who asked them where they were going. They told her that they were following a star that would lead them to a newborn baby, and invited her to come along. But she replied that she was busy sweeping and cleaning and did not go. When she realised her mistake, her regret was so great that she continues to wander about Italy and on the Epiphany (January 6, when the Wise Men finally found the baby Jesus), begins rewarding good children and disappointing those who were bad.

  • Encounters Between Tuscany and Lorraine
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Strunck, Christina (Hrsg.): Medici women as cultural mediators (1533-1743) = Le donne di casa Medici e il loro ruolo di mediatrici culturali fra le corti d'Europa, Milano 2011, S. 149-181 How Chrestienne Became Cristina Political and Cultural Encounters between Tuscany and Lorraine Christina Strunck While Florence has recently celebrated Caterina and Maria de Medici, the two Florentine queens of France,1 a third highly influential woman, who had close ties to both oi them, has hitherto received only very little attention: Christine of Lorraine, Grand Duchess of luscany (fig. 1). Christine, born in 1565, was Caterina’s favourite grand-daughter and had been raised at the French court since her mother, Caterina’s daughter Claude, had died in childbed in 1575. Caterina instructed the girl in politics’ and arranged the marriage match with her luscan relative, Grand Duke Ferdinando de’ Medici. From her wedding in 1589 until her death in 1636 Christine developed numerous political and cultural initiatives that have left their mark on Florence and Tuscany.'1 She maintained multi-layered relationships both with France and with Lorraine, the latter then still an independent state, governed in turn by Christine s father, Duke Charles Ill (reigned 1559-1608), and her brothers Henry II (1608-1624) and Francois II (1624), before her nephew Charles IV of Lorraine (1624-1675) finally had to accept the French occupation of his duchy.5 Although much could be said about Christine s dealings with the French court and with Maria de’ Medici in particular,1 in this paper I would like to focus only on the relationships between Tuscany and Lorraine sponsored by the Grand Duchess - a topic that has never been the object of sustained investigation.

  • Le Musiche Di Palazzo Pitti Al Tempo Dei Granduchi Asburgo- Lorena
    Stefania Gitto Le musiche di Palazzo Pitti al tempo dei granduchi Asburgo- Lorena. Storia della collezione musicale granducale1 Introduzione Le ricerche musicologiche sulla figura dell’abate Luigi Gatti, compositore mantovano divenuto maestro di cappella a Salisburgo al tempo del noto arci- vescovo Hieronymus di Colloredo, promosse dal Conservatorio di Mantova2 e la conseguente campagna di catalogazione e digitalizzazione delle composizioni del musicista custodite a Firenze, furono l’occasione iniziale per lo studio dell’in- tera, preziosa collezione musicale di Palazzo Pitti. Più noto oggi come fondo Pitti e dal 1862 custodito presso il conservatorio Luigi Cherubini di Firenze, l’archivio musicale degli Asburgo-Lorena fino allo scorso anno figurava solo nel catalogo generale a schede della biblioteca3, seb- bene ricco di importanti composizioni manoscritte e a stampa dei secoli XVIII e XIX. Grazie al sostegno della Galleria dell’Accademia e di Villa I Tatti4, il Conservatorio poté iniziare nel 2009 la catalogazione informatica5 del fondo mu- sicale, oggi completata e in parte già visibile anche sulla base dati nazionale SBN. Il progetto, oltre ad avere un valore biblioteconomico rilevante per la com- plessa casistica di materiale musicale presente e per le diverse possibilità di fru- izione e valorizzazione delle registrazioni catalografiche tramite il web, ha com- portato l’avvio di un’indagine, tuttora in corso, sull’inedita storia bibliografica e musicale della collezione palatina. Attraverso lo studio della stratificazione libraria e la fruizione delle stesse musiche presso la corte granducale si vorrebbe ricreare il contesto storico e cul- turale nel quale queste opere, giunte a Firenze da varie e spesso ancora miste- riose provenienze, si incontrarono e ‘concertarono’, per dare vita alla libreria granducale, in una complessità di relazioni fra musicisti, esecutori, donatori, intermediari, librai, archivisti, possessori e fruitori.
