It is my birthday and I am 73 years old. ” It is now seven years since I made the first of the recordings which have been transcribed and edited to make the text of this book. I was persuaded to make these recordings by my friend, the art historian, Joseph Darracott. We had been friends for over forty years and finally I accepted that the project which he was proposing might be feasible and would be worth attempting. And so, in talking about my life as a painter, I applied myself to the discipline of working from a list of questions which had been prepared by Joseph. During our initial discussions about the book Joseph misunderstood my idea, which was to engage in a live dialogue with the cut and thrust of question and answer. The task of responding to questions which had been typed up in advance became much more difficult to deal with because an exercise such as this lacked the kind of stimulus which a live dialogue would have given to it.

Like many people, I find nature to be a source of renewal, a connection to the Earth and the Divine, and a reminder of the interconnectedness of creation. Also, like many people, I am concerned about our world.

A., M. S. ****** The Ohio State University 1960 Approved by /Adviser* School oC Fine and Applied Arts PREFACE In 1953, when the author was commissioned to assemble and catalogue the many paintings owned by the Ohio Historical Society, it quickly became apparent that published reference works on early mid- western painters were sadly lacking. At that time the only source books were the standard biographical indexes of American artists, such as Mallett's Index of Artists and Mantle Fielding's Dictionary of Amer­ ican Painters. Sculptors and Engravers. The mimeographed WPA Histori­ cal Survey American Portrait Inventory (1440 Early American Portrait Artists I6b3-1860) furnished a valuable research precedent, which has since been developed and published by the New York Historical Society as the Dictionary of Artists in America 1564-1860. While this last is a milestone in research in American art history, the magnitude of its scope has resulted in incomplete coverage of many locales, especially in the Middlewest where source material is both scarce and scattered. The only book dealing exclusively with the Ohio scene is Edna Marie Clark's Ohio Art and Artists, which was published in 1932.

While that may seem like only a minor increase in handle, the number is more impressive than it may look on paper. For several reasons, comparing Saratoga 2019 vs. 2018 is like comparing pineapples to watermelons, but there is a key factor involved in those numbers that tells you just how well NYRA has broken out of the gate.

  • The Taking of Christ: Caravaggio As the Lantern-Bearer
    The Taking of Christ: Caravaggio as the Lantern-Bearer Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, The Taking of Christ, 1602, Oil on canvas. 133.5 x 169.5cm, National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin. author: alyssa cayetano The Taking of Christ (1602) is an oil painting on canvas by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, which currently resides in the National Gallery of Ireland.1 The painting was a private commission from one of Caravaggio’s lead patrons, Ciriaco Mattei, and depicts the greeting of Christ by Judas as the soldiers arrive to arrest him for his crucifixion.2 On the right side of the painting, standing among the soldiers, is a man holding a lantern. This lantern-bearer has been identified as a self-portrait of Caravaggio.3 The inclusion of a self-portrait in a biblical painting, and particularly the nature of this self-portrait in relation to dress, gesture, expression, composition, and lighting, is extremely curious. Regarding Caravaggio’s self-portraiture, Michael Fried states that “the ‘presence’ of the artist within the depicted scene is the outcome of forces far more complex and conflictual than a desire for self-representation.”4 Thus, the inclusion of Caravaggio’s own likeness is more than a mere novelty. Prior depictions of Caravaggio in his violent biblical scenes, in combination with historical documents such as police and death records, point to his self-portraiture as an expression of his spiritual distance. In this essay, I will be discussing the significance of Caravaggio’s self-portrait as the lantern-bearer in The Taking of Christ, particularly with respect to his relationship with religion.
