Bacchanal Scene, Painting by Giulio Carpioni anticSwiss 30/09/2021 00:25:14 http://www.anticswiss.com Bacchanal scene, painting by Giulio Carpioni FOR SALE ANTIQUE DEALER Period: 17° secolo -1600 Ars Antiqua srl Milano Style: Altri stili +39 02 29529057 393664680856 Height:37cm Width:40cm Material:Olio su tela Price:2600€ DETAILED DESCRIPTION: Attr. to Giulio Carpioni (Venice, 1613 - Vicenza, 1678) Baccanale Oil on canvas, 37 x 40 cm - with frame 54 x 56.5 cm The canvas in question shows strong stylistic and formal references to the work of Giulio Carpioni. The painter was born in Venice in 1613 and trained in Padovanino's workshop (Padua, 1588 - Venice, 1649), which he also followed in a trip to Bergamo in 1631, coming into contact with that taste for reality, typical of the Lombardy-Venetians of the moment. Carpioni's style is strongly characterized, interpreter of the great Venetian tradition in the classicist sense, with influences linked to the Bolognese such as Albani (Bologna, 1578 - 1660) and Domenichino (Bologna, 1581 - Naples, 1641) or the experience of Poussin (Les Andelys, 1594 - Rome, 1665). This influence led Longhi himself to hypothesize an undocumented journey to Rome by Carpioni when he was still young. Since 1638 it is witnessed in Vicenza, the city where it will reside permanently until 1660. Carpioni's painting is cultured, refined and intellectual, linked to classical literature and mythology, aimed at subjects with timeless charm. The palette, as in the work in question, is characterized by a delicate and elegant tonal choice, where the combinations of pinks, blues, greens, soft in gradation but effective and present as a whole, give the canvas an atmosphere with an idyllic flavor, suspended in the motionless time of the classical world, like the subject depicted. The slight fluttering of the soft draperies, the vibrant strokes of light, the stylistic definition of the faces, not free from references to Padovanino, are elements that recur in his work. In this regard, a painting with a similar subject can be cited, in a private collection in Venice, in particular for the rendering of the stroke of light on the helmet or the definition of the face of the Goddess Minerva. The definition of the satyr or the putto is a recurring element in the work of the Venetian painter, represented for example in a painting Cupids and game, in a private collection in Florence or in a "Baccanale" preserved in Ca 'Rezzonico in Venice. 1 / 3 anticSwiss 30/09/2021 00:25:14 http://www.anticswiss.com https://www.anticswiss.com/en/fine-art-antiques/bacchanal-scene-painting-by-giulio-carpioni-23337 2 / 3 anticSwiss 30/09/2021 00:25:14 http://www.anticswiss.com Gallery 3 / 3 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Venetian Art, 1600–1797 Massimo Favilla, Ruggero Rugolo, And
    VENETIAN ART, 1600–1797 Massimo Favilla, Ruggero Rugolo, and Dulcia Meijers* Part One: The 17th Century On 21 August 1609, Galileo Galilei gave a demonstration of his recently perfected telescope to Doge Leonardo Donà and the senators of the Vene- tian Republic from a room atop the bell-tower of St. Mark’s. By means of this extraordinary instrument, places and things once invisible to the naked eye suddenly came within view: in this case, even the domes of the basilica of Santa Giustina in Padua.1 Venice thus witnessed the beginning of a new vision of the world, which in the realm of painting helped bring about the infinite and vertiginous perspectives displayed on the baroque walls and ceilings of all of Europe. Three years earlier, in 1606, the Roman curia had excommunicated the Republic of San Marco for the state’s stalwart defense of its own jurisdic- tion (the Interdict crisis). In the face of unacceptable interference from Rome, the Dominante reacted with obstinate opposition and held its ground throughout the trying episode. The passing of the century brought still other critical moments: the devastating plague of 1630, followed by the disastrous war of Candia (1645–69), in which Venice finally lost the homonymous island (Crete in Italian) to the Ottoman Empire, the high point in 1687 of Venice’s long-awaited first victories over the Ottomans led by the future Doge Francesco Morosini “il Peloponnesiaco,” and the appro- priately solemn consecration of the monumental Basilica della Salute in 1631 (in the wake of the plague) designed by Baldassare Longhena.

He was 91 and lived in Cresskill, N.J. The New York Times, 1964 Craig Hugh Smyth The cause was a heart attack, his daughter, Alexandra, said. Mr. Smyth led the first academic program in conservation in the United States in 1960 as the director of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. Long before he began his academic career, he worked in the recovery of stolen art. After the defeat of Germany in World War II, Mr. Smyth was made director of the Munich Central Collecting Point, set up by the Allies for works that they retrieved. There, he received art and cultural relics confiscated by the Nazis, cared for them and tried to return them to their owners or their countries of origin. He served as a lieutenant in the United States Naval Reserve during the war, and the art job was part of his military service. Upon returning from Germany in 1946, he lectured at the Frick Collection and, in 1949, was awarded a Fulbright research fellowship, which took him to Florence, Italy.

  • Palazzo Querini Stampalia Portego
    Palazzo Querini Stampalia Museum Portego entrance Giovanni Mythology Bellini room room The earliest documents concerning the construction of the palace are from 1513-14 and point to Nicolò Querini as commissioner of the works. Grandson Francesco continued the works of enlargement and restoration in various stages throughout the first half of the century. From this period archival documents note nothing of importance until the acquisitions of the following century: in 1614 the building which is now the east wing of the palace and in 1653 part of the house between the canal and the church in Campo Santa Maria Formosa. The last radical transformation of Ca’ Querini was between 1789 and 1797 for the occasion of the marriage in 1790 between Alvise, son of Zuanne, and Maria Teresa Lippomano. In addition to the elevation of the third floor, completed after 1795, there was a large scale restructuring of the interiors with the reduction of the length of the portego and the evolution of the decorative scheme on which worked Jacopo Guarana, Davide Rossi, ornamentalist Giuseppe Bernardino Bison, gilder Domenico Sartori and brothers and stucco workers Giuseppe and Pietro Castelli. The museum is presented in such a way as to recall a patrician residence of the eighteenth century with the display of all of the collections of the family: furnishings, porcelain, sculpture, fabrics, chandeliers, globes, as well as paintings, in order to bring to life the spaces once truly inhabited by the Querini. A rich theatre where every detail plays an important role, from the fabrics in some rooms woven according to original patterns, to the curtains and the pelmets which adorn the windows to the original chandeliers.

  • WRITING ABOUT EARLY RENAISSANCE WORKS of ART in VENICE and FLORENCE (1550-1800) Laura-Maria
    BETWEEN TASTE AND HISTORIOGRAPHY: WRITING ABOUT EARLY RENAISSANCE WORKS OF ART IN VENICE AND FLORENCE (1550-1800) Laura-Maria Popoviciu A dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Combined Historical Studies The Warburg Institute University of London 2014 1 I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own _______________________________ Laura-Maria Popoviciu 2 ABSTRACT My dissertation is an investigation of how early Renaissance paintings from Venice and Florence were discussed and appraised by authors and collectors writing in these cities between 1550 and 1800. The variety of source material I have consulted has enabled me to assess and to compare the different paths pursued by Venetian and Florentine writers, the type of question they addressed in their analyses of early works of art and, most importantly, their approaches to the re-evaluation of the art of the past. Among the types of writing on art I explore are guidebooks, biographies of artists, didactic poems, artistic dialogues, dictionaries and letters, paying particular attention in these different genres to passages about artists from Guariento to Giorgione in Venice and from Cimabue to Raphael in Florence. By focusing, within this framework, on primary sources and documents, as well as on the influence of art historical literature on the activity of collecting illustrated by the cases of the Venetian Giovanni Maria Sasso and the Florentine Francesco Maria Niccolò Gabburri, I show that two principal approaches to writing about the past emerged during this period: the first, adopted by many Venetian authors, involved the aesthetic evaluation of early Renaissance works of art, often in comparison to later developments; the second, more frequent among Florentine writers, tended to document these works and place them in their historical context, without necessarily making artistic judgements about them.

ABOUT THE exhibition in brief It can be said that beginning in the 17th century, the sun began to set on the ‘Serenissima.’ The mighty Republic of Venice that had once dominated the seas and trade routes of the Eastern Mediterranean and beyond, now faced decline. A new rich world to the west had been discovered. Yet the myths of Venice – complex, compelling and pervasive - continued to influence the artistic currents of Venice. This is the Venice of artists such as Padovanino, Federico Cervelli, Pietro Liberi, Giulio Carpioni, Luca Giordano and Sebastiano Ricci to name but a few. In this transitional period, through a repertoire of classical mythology, Venetian painting expresses ethical and philosophical messages that exalt Venice as the ideal republic. Through myth and allegory, Venice had always identified itself with high ideals, as a place where justice prevailed, and had elected to present itself as such to the wider world. It is an artistic season defined by a stylistic revival inV enetian painting which was stalled in a phase of creative fatigue.

  • Collaborative Painting Between Minds and Hands: Art Criticism, Connoisseurship, and Artistic Sodality in Early Modern Italy
    Collaborative Painting Between Minds and Hands: Art Criticism, Connoisseurship, and Artistic Sodality in Early Modern Italy by Colin Alexander Murray A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Colin Murray 2016 Collaborative Painting Between Minds and Hands: Art Criticism, Connoisseurship, and Artistic Sodality in Early Modern Italy Colin Alexander Murray Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2016 Abstract The intention of this dissertation is to open up collaborative pictures to meaningful analysis by accessing the perspectives of early modern viewers. The Italian primary sources from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries yield a surprising amount of material indicating both common and changing habits of thought when viewers looked at multiple authorial hands working on an artistic project. It will be argued in the course of this dissertation that critics of the seventeenth century were particularly attentive to the practical conditions of collaboration as the embodiment of theory. At the heart of this broad discourse was a trope extolling painters for working with what appeared to be one hand, a figurative and adaptable expression combining the notion of the united corpo and the manifold meanings of the artist’s mano. Hardly insistent on uniformity or anonymity, writers generally believed that collaboration actualized the ideals of a range of social, cultural, theoretical, and cosmological models in which variously formed types of unity were thought to be fostered by the mutual support of the artists’ minds or souls. Further theories arose in response to Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo’s hypothesis in 1590 that the greatest painting would combine the most highly regarded old masters, each contributing their particular talents towards the whole.
