Rivista Di Studi Italiani 1156 Inediti the Evolution And RIVISTA DI STUDI ITALIANI INEDITI THE EVOLUTION AND TRANSFORMATION OF THE JUDITH AND HOLOFERNES THEME IN ITALIAN DRAMA AND ART BEFORE 1627 (SUMMARY AND LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS) by FRANK CAPOZZI A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Italian) At the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN – MADISON 1975 © FRANK CAPOZZI 1975 1156 FRANK CAPOZZI SUMMARY AND LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS his dissertation was written under the supervision of Associate Professor Dr. Robert J. Rodini TThrough many transformations and interpretations of the dramatic elements of the apocryphal story of Judith and Holofernes, the biblical tale has become part of our cultural heritage and has exerted a profound influence on the creative spirit of writers and artists throughout the centuries. The Book of Judith is divided into four major sections: Nebuchadnezzar’s wars of aggression, with the description of the splendor and the cruelty of the Orient; the siege of Bethulia by the proud Holofernes and the sufferings of the people; Judith’s deceitful beguiling of Holofernes and the decapitation of the general; the triumphal return of Judith to Bethulia and the defeat of the Assyrian army. The story of Judith contains all the elements of a mythical event: the heroine is called to perform a dangerous deed; she is swallowed by the dangerous unknown, Holofernes’ tent; she is granted the supernatural assistance of God; she accomplishes her mission and safely returns to Bethulia. Writers have capitalized on one or more of these dramatic moments in order to express religious, patriotic, or social ideas, while artists have usually limited their works to the most dramatic event, the killing of Holofernes, or to the return of Judith to Bethulia. This study is an attempt to analyze the development and the transformation of the biblical story of Judith in Italian drama and art before 1627. Before the middle of the sixteenth-century, Judith is portrayed as a moral and religious heroine, a prefiguration of Mary and of the Church, and as a political heroine (Sacra rappresentazione di Judith). During the year of the Council of Trent and soon afterwards the heroine becomes a vehicle for religious propaganda—the defender of the Catholic Church against Protestantism (Stefano Tuccio’s Juditha), or for social comments—an attack against some of the problems of the sixteenth-century society (Cesare Sacchetti’s Rappresentazione di Giudith). In the tragedies written between 1580 and 1625 (Giovanni Andrea Ploti’s Giuditta, Giovanni Battista Alberti’s Oloferne, and Giovanni Angelo Lottini’s Giudetta) the heroine is portrayed as a mannered character coping with contradictions between impulsive passion and political commitment. In Federico Della Valle’s tragedy Judith is the heroine who rises above court intrigues and false passions; and the biblical story becomes for the author a means to condemn the corruption of the courts. As in literature, in art there is also an evolution in the interpretation of the figure of Judith. In medieval paintings and manuscript illustrations Judith is usually portrayed as an allegorical prefiguration of the Church or Mary, while during the Renaissance the heroine becomes a symbol, especially in Florence, of republicanism (the woman who single-handedly fought for freedom against tyranny—Donatello’s Judith and Holofernes). During the Early Baroque 1157 SUMMARY AND LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS period (c. 1580-1625) the biblical story becomes a vehicle for highly dramatic action (Caravaggio, Artemisia Gentileschi) or for dazzling opulence (Fede Galizia, Antiveduto Gramatica, Tintoretto). The story of Judith and Holofernes is a mythical representation of mankind being lost in a world without God, of the destruction of evil through the self-abnegation of a woman and the intercession of God, and of mankind’s search for peace, both political and religious. 1158 FRANK CAPOZZI LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS he illlustrations have been downloaded from various Internet sites (not copyrighted, and in public domain).

This situation is even more marked in the world of the art generally and in the world of the artists in particular. In the art history women’s are not almost present and in the world of the art’s historians no more. With this panorama, the historian of the art Linda Nochlin, in 1971 published an article, in the magazine “Artnews”, releasing the question: "Why are not there great women artists?" Nochlin throws rejects first of all the presupposition of an absence or a quasi-absence of the women in the art history because of a defect of " artistic genius ", but is not either partisan of the feminist position of an invisibility of the women in the works of art history provoked by a sexist way of the discipline.

The intelligent and artistically talented woman was seen as a miraculous person and often compared more closely to a man. Due to their extraordinary status, it can be argued that these women behaved similarly to their male counterparts in their search for special consideration and legendary status. This paper will contribute to the scholarly studies surrounding women in the visual arts in Renaissance Italy by analyzing writings, lifestyle, and the method of creation and content of the art, particularly the self-portrait paintings, of these women.

    Valeria Finucci "A Portrait of the Artist as a Female Painter": the Kunstlerroman Tradition in A. Banti's Artemisia The salient traits of the life of Artemisia Gentileschi, a seventeenth century Italian painter and follower of Caravaggio, are easy to put together. In the preface of her novel, Artemisia, which is a fictional recreation of this artist's life, Anna Banti offers a number of precise chronological remarks: "Nata nel 1598, a Roma, di famiglia pisana. Figlia di Orazio, pittore eccellente. Oltraggiata, appena giovinetta, nell'onore e nell'amore. Vittima svillaneggiata di un pubblico pro- cesso di stupro. Che tenne scuola di pittura a Napoli. Che s'azzardò, verso il 1638, nella eretica Inghilterra. Una delle prime donne che sostennero colle parole e colle opere il diritto al lavoro congeniale e a una parità di spirito tra i due sessi" (preface).^ A historical revi- sion of this painter's life and accomplishment has many times been attempted in the wake of the queer fame surrounding her adoles- cence. Critical attempts to objectively separate fiction from fact, gossip from truth, however, are starting to be successful only now that a new wave of feminist art historians is engaged in demytholo- gizing the artistic canon. For many years, even after the extensive studies of Hermann Voss and Roberto Longhi, a number of hostile critics have deliberately underrated the merits of Gentileschi the artist while stabbing Gentileschi the woman with mysoginist malevolence. The difficulty in assessing the worth of this painter comes from the fact that Gentileschi was an unconventional person in an age when females were rarely allowed to stray beyond their prescribed bound- aries.

  • Press Release Newly-Discovered Painting by Flemish Renaissance
    Press Release Newly-Discovered Painting by Flemish Renaissance Trailblazer Frans Floris to be Unveiled at TEFAF Maastricht by Carlo Orsi-Trinity Fine Art, Stand 379 16-24 March 2019 (Preview 14-15 March) Frans Floris (1519/20-1570), Susanna and the Elders, 1548, oil on panel, 154 x 181.5cm A large, newly-discovered and unpublished early work by the influential Antwerp painter, draftsman and etcher Frans Floris de Vriendt (called Floris, 1519/20-1570), more renowned in his day than Bruegel the Elder, will be unveiled at TEFAF Maastricht 2019 by Carlo Orsi-Trinity Fine Art. This important painting depicting Susanna and the Elders will form the centrepiece of the gallery’s stand. The work was completed shortly after Floris’s return from a long visit to Italy, and it reveals the artist’s careful study of Roman antiquities and the work of Italian Renaissance artists including Raphael. Floris was praised for his treatment of the nude, and in this substantial canvas, which shows the beautiful Susanna undressed and about to bathe, the artist displays a sensitivity to the handling of flesh which was exceptional in Netherlandish art at the time. Art historian Edward H. Wouk, who has written the most recent definitive work on Floris, says of the present painting: “Such sensuous images appealed to Floris’s early collectors who valued the distinctive mix of Italian form and Netherlandish technique in his work. Their patronage propelled Floris to fame as an international celebrity praised for his treatment of the body.” The work carries an asking price in the region of 700,000 euros.

Although her brother remained a dilettante, Barbara, during a painting career that spanned more than 30 years, diligently produced a series of small Madonna and Child compositions that were, according to Vasari, "unique for their purity of line and soft brilliance of color."' Trained by her father, a regional Mannerist influenced by the Roman and Central Italian (Florence and Bologna) schools, Barbara copied many of his works and assisted him with his large altarpieces.
