Bernini and the Practice of Physiognomy FAH 1288S Professor
Bernini and the Practice of Physiognomy FAH 1288S Professor E. Levy May 1, 2003 Wendy Walgate In regard to the concord and discord of the motions, we consider how two, three or four may be united together and expressed in the self same body, showing forth their vigor in the same face: which thing the best Painters both ancient and new have done. 1 - Paolo Giovanni Lomazzo, 1598 Introduction Seventeenth century painters and sculptors believed that the activities of the soul were physically impressed on the face, such that a trained viewer could read them. This was “physiognomy” and as its name suggests, it was accepted as science at the time, much like astrology. Humanistic interests of the Renaissance revived the Aristotelian concept of correlating facial traits with personality. 2 In addition, practitioners of physiognomic “science” believed that the face itself distinctly and truthfully mirrored a person’s soul. 3 As a contemporary of the painter Alberti, the humanist Guarino da Verona praised a painting of St. Jerome sent to him by Pisanello as “a wonderful example of your power and skill. The noble whiteness of his beard, the stern brow of his saintly countenance, simply to behold these is to have one’s mind drawn to higher things. 4 Renaissance theory urged artists to portray figural and facial expression so that the spectator might experience emotional inspiration by the physiognomic characterization. 5 In addition, handbooks of this period suggested that artists examine the emotional composition of subjects of different age, sex, rank and character. 6 Artists such as Bernini, attempted to interpret their subjects’ characters and personal dispositions to gain insight into their souls in order to represent them in art. -

Bernini's Fountains: an Illustration of How This Art-Form Can Be Said to Symbolize the Emotional Stability of Its Creator—The Seventeenth Century Genius
BERNINI'S FOUNTAINS: AN ILLUSTRATION OF HOW THIS ART-FORM CAN BE SAID TO SYMBOLIZE THE EMOTIONAL STABILITY OF ITS CREATOR—THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY GENIUS by JANE MAYNARD MATHER B.A., McGill University, 1952 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Fine Arts We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 1967 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and Study. 1 further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by h.i>s representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada ABSTRACT The oft cited man on the street has never heard of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, although this great artist was perhaps the genius of the seventeenth century. Such ignorance, it is my contention in this thesis, arises from the myth that links creativity with illness, genius with insanity. The same man on the street often knows of other artists not so much, unfortunately, from their work, as from the much publicized idiosyncrasies of their personalities. Bernini, as I have endeavoured to show in this paper, was a man of outstanding stability, vitality, dis• cipline—and a man entirely committed to, and involved in, the time in which he lived. -

THE BEL COMPOSTO IN GIAN LORENZO BERNINI’S CORNARO CHAPEL by Samantha Landre A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Art History at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee August 2015 ABSTRACT THE BEL COMPOSTO IN GIAN LORENZO BERNINI’S CORNARO CHAPEL by Samantha Landre The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2015 Under the Supervision of Dr. Tanya Tiffany Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s sculptural altarpiece, The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, in the Cornaro Chapel of the Roman Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria (1652), is regarded as the pinnacle of Baroque “theatricality” in Bernini’s use of the bel composto, or unification of the arts. In this thesis, I argue Bernini’s representation of the mystical event referred to the Counter- Reformation’s canonization process due to the artist’s profound engagement with Teresa’s controversial autobiography, El Libro de la Vida (1562-5). -

Scholars’ inability to adequately identify the narrative moment has been compounded by a lack of direct engagement with the Ludovica’s turbulent drapery, particularly in areas which raise questions of sensuality and the body. The present examination returns to the sculptural work itself, seeking to interpret the Ludovica’s drapery with the same intensity offered to treatments of the body, and to demonstrate the centrality of permeability to Bernini’s representation of the Ludovica. Through a series of folds in the center of the sculpture which create a “cavernous opening” between the beata’s legs, Bernini engages with concerns of interior and exterior, death, dissection, wounding, and gender. Connected to the side wound of Christ and vaginal imagery, the “cavernous opening” becomes a site of Eucharistic significance through Bernini’s deeply drilled and intentionally executed drapery folds. Rather than simply providing an acknowledgement of the Eucharistic rite taking place before it, Bernini’s altarpiece can be recognized as a visual enactment of permeability, suggesting the penetration of Christ’s body and the resulting outpouring of salvation. -

Bernini As the Seicento Michelangelo: Imitation and Identity in Art, Architecture and Biography
Bernini as the Seicento Michelangelo: Imitation and Identity in Art, Architecture and Biography by Carolina Mangone A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Carolina Mangone 2012 Bernini as the Seicento Michelangelo: Imitation and Identity in Art, Architecture and Biography Carolina Mangone Doctor of Philosophy, History of Art Department of Art University of Toronto 2012 Abstract This dissertation examines how Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598-1680), acclaimed the “Michelangelo of his age,” constructed his identity by imitating the art, practices and persona of Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564). Buonarroti’s “inimitability,” a disputed sixteenth-century notion that became ever more contentious as newly critical seventeenth-century perspectives of his work and practice questioned his worth as a model for imitation, furnishes the point of departure for investigating how Bernini became Bernini through and against his predecessor. By analysing Gianlorenzo’s formal, stylistic, theoretical and conceptual references to Buonarroti in his early narrative sculpture (ch.1), his sculpted self-portraits (ch.2), his work at St. Peter’s (ch.3), his architectural ornament (ch.4) as well as the intertextual strategies attending the literary uses of the association between the two artists (ch.5), I shed light on various imitative modes –ranging from emulation, allusion and paraphrase, to repetition, quotation and bricolage – that Bernini and his biographers employed to shape the artist into Michelangelo’s worthy “son” rather than his burdened epigone. In positing a filial model as a flexible framework for understanding Bernini’s life-long relationship to Michelangelo, I take a cue from early modern art writers who suggested that the way to ii overcome Buonarroti’s inimitability was to resemble him faintly, the way a son resembles a father.
