Press Release
FRICK TO PRESENT FIRST MAJOR NORTH AMERICAN EXHIBITION ON RENAISSANCE PAINTER GIOVANNI BATTISTA MORONI MORONI: THE RICHES OF RENAISSANCE PORTRAITURE February 21 through June 2, 2019 In Renaissance Italy, one of the aims of portraiture was to make the absent seem present through naturalistic representation of the sitter. This notion—that art can capture an individual exactly as he or she appears—is exemplified in the work of Giovanni Battista Moroni. The artist spent his entire career in and around his native Bergamo, a region in Lombardy northeast of Milan, and left a corpus of portraits that far outnumbers those of his contemporaries who worked in major artistic centers, including Titian in Venice and Bronzino in Florence. Though Moroni never achieved their fame, he innovated the genre of portraiture in spectacular ways. This winter and spring, Giovanni Battista Moroni (b. 1520–24; d. 1579/80), Portrait of a Young Woman, ca. 1575, oil on canvas, private collection; photo: the Frick presents the first major exhibition in North Michael Bodycomb America devoted to his work, bringing together nearly two dozen of Moroni’s most arresting and best known portraits from international collections to explore the innovations and experiments that belie his masterful illusion of recording reality. They will be shown alongside a selection of complementary objects— Renaissance jewelry, textiles, arms and armor, and other luxury items—that exemplify the material and visual world that Moroni recorded, embellished, and transformed. Moroni: Moroni, Giovanni Gerolamo Grumelli, called The Man in Pink, dated 1560, oil on canvas, Fondazione Museo di Palazzo Moroni, Bergamo–Lucretia The Riches of Renaissance Portraiture was organized by Aimee Ng, Associate Curator, Moroni Collection; photo: Mauro Magliani 1 The Frick Collection; Simone Facchinetti, Researcher, Università del Salento, Lecce; and Arturo Galansino, Director General, Palazzo Strozzi, Florence. -
'This Will Be a Popular Picture': Giovanni Battista Moroni's Tailor and the Female Gaze
‘This will be a popular picture’: Giovanni Battista Moroni’s Tailor and the Female Gaze Lene Østermark-Johansen In October 1862, when Charles Eastlake had secured the purchase of Giovanni Battista Moroni’s The Tailor (c. 1570) for the National Gallery (Fig. 1), he noted with satisfaction: Portrait of a tailor in a white doublet with minute slashes — dark reddish nether dress — a leather belt [strap & buckle] round the end of the white dress. He stands before a table with scissors in his rt hand, & a piece of [black] cloth in the left. Fig. 1: Giovanni Battista Moroni, The Tailor, c. 1570, oil on canvas, 99.5 × 77 cm, National Gallery, London. CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. 2 The hands excellent — the head low in tone but good (one or two spotty lights only too much cleaned) the ear carefully & well painted — All in good state — The lowness of the tone in the face the only objection — Background varied in darkness — light enough to relieve dark side of face & d. air — darker in left side & below — quite el.1 Eastlake’s description, focusing on the effects of colour, light, and the state of preservation, does not give away much about the charismatic qualities of the painting. With his final remark, ‘quite eligible’, he recognizes one of the most engaging of the old master portraits as suitable for purchase by the National Gallery. Eastlake’s wife Elizabeth immediately perceived the powerful presence of the tailor and made the following entry in her journal: ‘It is a celebrated picture, called the “Taglia Panni.”2 The tailor, a bright-looking man with a ruff, has his shears in his beautifully painted hands, and is looking at the spectator. -

The Narrowing of Giorgione's Masterpiece (To the Problem of The
International Journal of Art and Art History December 2017, Vol. 5, No. 2, pp. 13-18 ISSN: 2374-2321 (Print), 2374-233X (Online) Copyright © The Author(s).All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijaah.v5n2p2 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/ijaah.v5n2p2 The Narrowing of Giorgione’s Masterpiece (To the Problem of the Hermitage Judith’s Original Measurements) Ivan Sablin1 The Judith in the museum of Hermitage is one of the few universally acknowledged works by Giorgionei, perhaps the last of them to achieve this standing, for the first time in the 18th century and then definitely, more than a hundred years ago. Such works are rare. Giorgione‟s authorship of even the Castelfranco Madonna has been (recently) contestedii, not to mention a much more complex case of Dresden Venusiii. The most rigorous approach to the size of Giorgione‟s œuvre leaves the artist with only the Three Philosophers in Vienna and the Tempest in Venice, along with the Judith (in spite of some earlier opinions, which have been rejected long ago). None of these attributions is based upon a documentary evidence, be that a verified signature or any archival source, for the only work documented in artist‟s lifetime is the one executed for Fondaco dei tedeschiiv, a fresco cycle long lost to a salty air of Serenissima, its pitiful remains (on show at Franchetti gallery) offering no chance to draw stylistic conclusions for the identification of the other works in question. Yet it is precisely the stylistic analysis that all accepted attributions to Giorgione rely upon, adding to the scarce historic testimonies of not always a trustworthy nature. -
L'arte Del Quattrocento E Del Cinquecento
FIORELLA FRISONI L’arte del Quattrocento e del Cinquecento Render conto della bibliografia storico artistica sull’arte del Quattro- cento e del Cinquecento, e in particolare sulla pittura, nei quarant’anni successivi alla pubblicazione della Storia di Brescia, che resta pur sempre tappa fondamentale per gli studi, è impresa tale da far tremare le vene ai polsi e resta davvero difficile darne conto in maniera esaustiva. Nella monumentale impresa voluta da Giovanni Treccani degli Alfieri si susse- guivano nel secondo tomo del libro, con un’appendice nel terzo, ad opera di Pier Virgilio Begni Redona, su La pittura manierista, dopo i contributi di Adriano Peroni sull’architettura e la scultura nei secoli XV e XVI, quelli di Gaetano Panazza sulla pittura del Quattrocento, prima e seconda metà, intervallati dal capitolo su Foppa che Edoardo Arslan aveva voluto per sé, e quello di Renata Bossaglia sulla pittura del Cinquecento attraverso i “maggiori” (vale a dire Romanino, Moretto e Savoldo) e i loro seguaci1. Il largo spazio dedicato nell’opera ai problemi storico-artistici è se- gno dell’interesse della città e delle sue istituzioni, ma anche del mondo scientifico, per quei problemi, interesse che sfocerà negli anni successivi in lodevoli e apprezzate iniziative, per cui il bilancio degli studi nei qua- rant’anni successivi alla pubblicazione può considerarsi assolutamente positivo. Meritano una prima segnalazione le mostre organizzate, dopo le date di uscita dei corposi volumi, dai Civici Musei di arte e storia di Brescia e dedicate alle figure principali dell’arte bresciana: la prima, del 1965, dedicata a Gerolamo Romanino2; le successive dedicate rispetti- vamente al Moretto, nel 19883; a Giovan Girolamo Savoldo, nel 19904; 1 Storia di Brescia, II, La dominazione veneta (1426-1575), Brescia 1963: Adriano Peroni, L’architettura e la scultura nei secoli XV e XVI, pp. -

Leading Culture Destinations Awards, Which Recognises Those Institutions and Activations at the Cutting-Edge of the Cultural Zeitgeist
LT U C U R E G D I N E D S T A I E N L A T I O N S L O N D O N 001 002 LEADING CULTURE DESTINATIONS The Leading Culture Destinations journey started five years ago in London driven by a passion to find unique cultural experiences outside of the mainstream travel market. We turned to our close friends, asking them for cultural travel recommendations in places such as Paris, New York or Beijing, but we were also very curious in emerging and, as yet, less discovered gems, such as Quebec City, Belo Horizonte, Malta, Mexico City or Marfa, Texas, to name but a few. Today, Leading Culture Destinations is an opinion-led platform bringing global nomads together with cultural destinations. Our community not only travels with us, but also share their insights and experiences on our platform, and throughout their networks. This creates unique opportunities for destinations to reach new audiences, transforming places into destinations of cultural desire. Over the coming pages, you will be introduced to some of the key players in The Leading Culture Destinations network, and gain personal insights into those destinations at the forefront of a new cultural movement–namely, the winners of this year’s Leading Culture Destinations Awards, which recognises those institutions and activations at the cutting-edge of the cultural zeitgeist. We also bring you thought-leadership from our Select Jury, Ambassadors, and extended friends and family, on everything from artifial intelligence, to the slow places movement and the emergence of restaraunts that allow you to taste history, by resurrecting dishes from a distant past for a modern audience. -

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. -

Leonardo Da Vinci's Gioconda and the Yellow Shawl Observations On
Knauer:ambrosini 14-02-2010 18:15 Pagina 1 1 LEONARDO DA VINCI’S GIOCONDA AND THE YELLOW SHAWL OBSERVATIONS ON FEMALE PORTRAITS IN THE RENAISSANCE ELFRIEDE R. (KEZIA) KNAUER Dedicated to Almut Mutzenbecher Abstract Interest in Leonardo’s Gioconda – l’illustre incomprise as André Chastel once described her – has ebbed and surged over the years. A high tide is just receding after the publication of a document in 2008 which appeared to settle the question of the sitter’s identity once and for all: a handwritten note in an incun- able, dated 1503, states that the artist has begun to paint a head of “Lise del Giocondo”. For many scholars and certainly for a large public, she is now incontrovertibly the wife of a Florentine silk merchant. However, doubts remain and have been expressed by some experts, if only briefly. In this study I propose to approach the identity of the Gioconda by determining first the social position of the person depicted. By presenting and interpreting distinctive sartorial ele- ment in images of females of Leonardo’s time, we shall reach Knauer:ambrosini 14-02-2010 18:15 Pagina 2 2 Raccolta Vinciana firmer ground on which to proceed. The elements – foremost a shawl – are specifically prescribed in contemporary legal docu- ments as is their color, multiple shades of yellow. The color con- notations are informed by traditions going back to antiquity. The same holds true for certain facial traits and bodily poses of the individuals depicted; they are standardized features that deprive these paintings of the claim to be portraits in the accepted sense yet intentionally add tantalizing touches.
