    European Art & Decorative Arts Wall Text and Extended Labels FIRST FLOOR The Morgan Memorial The construction of the Morgan Memorial, completed in two sections in 1910 and 1915, more than doubled the size of the original Wadsworth Atheneum that opened in 1844. The building is dedicated to Junius Spencer Morgan, whose bust by William Wetmore Story stands at the top of the western stairs. Morgan was a Hartford man who founded a banking empire, and his son, J. Pierpont Morgan, chose to build the museum’s new wing as a tribute to his father. The total cost of the Memorial—over $1,400,000—represents the largest of J. Pierpont Morgan’s generous gifts. He spent over twelve years purchasing the several properties on which the Memorial stands, and was involved in its construction until his death in 1913. Benjamin Wistar Morris, a noted New York architect, was selected to design what was to be a new home for the Wadsworth Atheneum’s art collection. It was built in the grand English Renaissance style, and finished with magnificent interior details. Four years after J. Pierpont Morgan’s death, his son, J. Pierpont Morgan Jr., followed the wishes outlined in his father’s will and gave the Wadsworth Atheneum a trove of ancient art and European decorative arts from his father’s renowned collection.

(år) Vårterm. (år) Sommartermin (år) 2021 The portrait of sculptor emerged in the sixteenth century, where the sitter’s occupation was indicated by his holding a statue. This thesis has focus on portraits of sculptors at the turn of 1900, which have indications of profession. 60 artworks created between 1872 and 1927 are analyzed. The goal of the thesis is to identify new facets that modernism introduced to the portraits of sculptors. The thesis covers the evolution of artistic convention in the depiction of sculptor. The comparison of portraits at the turn of 1900 with portraits of sculptors from previous epochs is included. The thesis is also a contribution to the bibliography of portraits of sculptors. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Karin Wahlberg Liljeström for her help and advice.

  • Tirage a Part Strasbourq 1990 DAVID's SLING and MICHELANGELO's BOW
    Tirage a part StrasbourQ 1990 DAVID'S SLING AND MICHELANGELO'S BOW: A SIGN OF FREED OM* IRVING LAVIN It is no accident that the American cartoonist Mike Luckovich should have chosen Michelangelo's David as his vehicle to satirize the recent efforts by certain Federal officials to censor works of art created at government expense (Figs. 1, 2). Luckovich's lampoon is prima facie evidence of the unique status the David has attained in Western society, as a symbol of the defiant spirit of human freedom and independence in the face of extreme adversity. The cartoon also perfectly illustrates the fact that the emblematic preeminence of the David is due largely to Michelangelo's having incorporated in a single, revolutionary image two of the quintessential constituents of the idea of liberty, one creative, and therefore personal, the other political, and therefore communal. We can define this dual significance of the David with a good deal of confidence because of l.Mike Luckovich, cartoon (from Newsweek, August 7, 1989) 108 2. Michelangelo, David, Accademia, Florence a famous but still inadequately understood drawing, preserved in the Louvre, in which Michelangelo virtually says as much himself (Fig. 3). To my knowledge, the drawing is the first instance in which an artist actually articulates in words on a preliminary study the sense of the work he is preparing. My purpose in this paper to define and explore the two, complementary aspects of the David by offering some observations and suggestions concerning the Louvre sheet and its implications. Let me emphasize at once that there is nothing new in suggesting that the David had personal meaning for Michelangelo: Vasari records that Michelangelo returned from Rome to Florence expressly in order to compete for the commission.

  • Museum Collection, the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo
    Museum Collection, The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo was established in 1959 to house the Matsukata Collection returned to the Japanese government by the French government. While at the time of the opening the majority of the collection was French modern art, such as Renoir paintings and Rodin sculptures, over the course of the half-century since its founding, the museum collection has been expanded in line with the goal of presenting the flow of western art from the Renaissance to the World War II era. Thus the collection today encompasses a much broader spectrum of artist nationality and period than at its founding. 19th Century Hall: Sculpture by Rodin Auguste Rodin The Age of Bronze 1877 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin The Thinker 1881-82 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin Fallen Caryatid Carrying Her Stone c.1881-82 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin Eternal Springtime 1881-84 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin Orpheus and the Maenads Before 1889 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin Balzac (Last Study) 1897 (model), 1961 (cast) Donated by the Asahi Shimbun Auguste Rodin Meditation After 1900 Matsukata Collection 14th-16th Century Paintings Sienese School of the 14th St. Michael and the Dragon 14th century Century Andreas Ritzos Icon: Ascension of Christ with the 15th century Ex-Matsukata Collection Hetoimasia Mariotto di Nardo Predella Panel Representing the Legend of 1408 St. Stephen Carlo Crivelli St. Augustine c.1487-88 (?)

  • Egidio Dall'oglio
    Egidio Dall’Oglio Italian / Italiano, 1704–1784 Madonna and Child with St. Anne Appearing to Sts. Anthony, Charles Borromeo, and Philip Neri Oil on canvas, 1748 Egidio dall’Oglio spent six years in the Venice workshop of Giambattista Piazzetta (to whom this large canvas was once attributed) but ultimately settled on the mainland and made a career producing works for churches near Treviso and Belluno. Depicting a heavenly vision of the Madonna and Child with Saint Anne appearing to Saints Anthony, Charles Borromeo, and Philip Neri, this painting is the upper section of an ensemble created for the parish church in Giavera del Montello. In 1918, when Austria invaded northern Italy, a battle was fought in Giavera and the church was damaged, leading to the removal and ultimate sale of this surviving fragment. Madona y niño con Santa Ana en Aparición a los santos Antonio, Carlos Borromeo y Felipe Neri Óleo sobre lienzo, 1748 Egidio dall’Oglio pasó seis años en Venecia en el taller de Giambattista Piazzetta (a quien alguna vez se le atribuyó este gran lienzo), pero finalmente se estableció en tierra firme donde hizo carrera produciendo obras para las iglesias cerca de Treviso y Belluno. Esta pintura, que representa una visión celestial de la Madona y el niño con Santa Ana apareciéndose a los santos Antonio, Carlos Borromeo y Felipe Neri, es la parte superior de un conjunto creado para la iglesia parroquial de Giavera del Montello. En 1918, cuando Austria invadiera el norte de Italia, se libró una batalla en Giavera durante la cual se dañó la iglesia, provocando que este fragmento sobreviviente tuviera que ser retirado y finalmente se vendiera.
