As the cultural and stylistic stability of the High Renaissance dis­ integrated the first generation of mannerist art emerges stylistically and icomographically, and emphasises its de­ pendence on the painting of the preceding decade. However instead of comparing the individual works of art with those that precede or follow them it is more illuminating to jux­ tapose the productions of Rome and Florence. The different, almost opposite, backgrounds are seen to reappear in some related aspects'of the art of the two cities. This is demon­ strable in the following subjects: narrative cycles, reli­ gious altarpieces,the Martyrdom of the 10, 000, the Joseph scenes, and the grotesque style. I. INtKOBUeriOB This study will be oenfined withia certain aecessary limits. Chronologically it is restricted to the period, from 1515 to 1530» Although suggestions of mannerist style occur before, its complete and coherent expressions emerge in I51S in Florence and in 1521 in Borne, Obviously it does not appear unannounced, but occurs by degrees in the immediately preoed- img painting', and as. Freedberg 1 has observed there is nothing " in the painting of these first mannerists which has not been anticipated in their own earlier paintings or those of their contemporaries, After the third decade most of these paint­ ers1 styles approach that of later mannerism, for example that of Bosso’s at Fontainebleau, while there is much greater diversity in the style of early mannerism; a time of experi­ ment. Finally, the point of 1530 has the merit of coinciding naturally with a period of radical change, marking the com­ plete less of Italian independence. Within this period paintings of the two cities most instrumental in creating the renaissance and mannerism will be studied. Some and Florence, .’Each city has a certain degree of stylistic unity, home mere so than .Florence, They also have 1. Freedberg, Painting of the Sigh Renaissance in Borne and Florence, Cambridge, Mass., Harvard UnTveFsTtv""™ Press, 1961, I, p». 5^9, the advantage &£ being more fully documented and more, coher­ ently studied than secondary centers. While met in the form of a comparison, since the material does not lend itself to this method of presentation, a comparison sometimes helps to distinguish their differing courses-of development. Within these chronological and geographical areas am added distinction has to be made between mannerism and the various.other styles which existed beside it. 4 large part of this thesis is devoted to background material. It attempts to establish.a bread and pervasive framework which could not but affect artists as well as be affected by them. It shows that a parallel attitude to that of art existed in other fields, in some more clearly than in others. Among the subjects undertaken, the second chapter po­ larises the two most typical pursuits.of Home and Florence; poetry, and political science and history. It sketches the diametrically opposed literature of the two cities. The third, chapter touches on the political situation. This chapter traces the religious■actions and attitudes characteristic of each city which are governed by the dominating forces of Savonarola and the papacy. The social background concerns the patronage of art and the changing status of the artist. In summation, theorising and attempts to standardize, as among the foremost trends in the intellectual life of the sixteenth century, are depicted briefly in several fields since they seem to have had their genesis in the period mmder discussion, or slightly later in some areas. The remaining chapters analyze the art under catego­ ries of subject matter. The Joseph scenes by Pontormo in. chapter four document the earliest appearance of mannerism in Florence* and compare Pontormo to the other participants in the decoration of the Borghisi Bridal chamber. The narrative cycles in chapter five continue a major kind of High Renais­ sance painting and are the only cycles of this kind in Rome and Florence in the first generation,. Since Madonna and Child altarpieees were so common to the earlier renaissance and so rare to later mannerism* they come under consideration in the sixth chapter , - The Roman preoccupation with the remains of antiquity relates to the altarpieees and is in that chapter. Also Included in this" chapter are altarpieees of a different subjects Pietas and Depositions, produced primarily in Flor­ ence, The seventh chapter contains a discussion of the gro­ tesque style. It changes little in style at this time but was painted, in great quantity in Rome and.is an apt expression of Roman taste. The eighth chapter concerns the Martyrdom of the 10,000. It offers a unique opportunity to compare.the two cities and summarize their differences. A stylistic analysis has been integrated into the dis­ cussion of the iconography of these subjects. In such a sub­ ject as the Madonna and Child altarpieees, a certain degree of standardization exists that makes stylistic changes as meamiagfml as strictly iconographic ernes.- Bat besides this, and the impossibility of separating style and iconography, the justification for such, an inclusion lies in the relation of style to iconography in this particular period. In mannerism, the style itself often serves ds i. t-ehieie of expression as much as the usual attributes or actions attached to a situa­ tion that give it ieonographical meaning. This proves to be more valid for some subjects than for others. Per example, mannerism is most expressive in battle scenes. Major paintings or cycles have been selected for icon­ ographic discussion so that the question cannot arise as to whether they are representative of the mannerist style. This method of selection also has the advantage of concentrating on works that are historically the most important commissions and artistically the best work. In some instances they are taken from a group of lesser works and in others they are isolated examples. Usually iconographic analyses are not conducted in this way, but a single .-theme is studied and the changes in it followed through a period of years. It is hoped that in this paper a .cross section will reveal characteristics of the two cities which may be connected with the historical background. The first appearances of mannerism in the second dec­ ade are merely individual explorations and attempts to find 2 new solutions to artistic problems. They cannot be directly 2.

  • MONTEPULCIANO's PALAZZO COMUNALE, 1440 – C.1465: RETHINKING CASTELLATED CIVIC PALACES in FLORENTINE ARCHITECTURAL and POLITI
    MONTEPULCIANO’S PALAZZO COMUNALE, 1440 – c.1465: RETHINKING CASTELLATED CIVIC PALACES IN FLORENTINE ARCHITECTURAL AND POLITICAL CONTEXTS Two Volumes Volume I Koching Chao Ph.D. University of York History of Art September 2019 ABSTRACT This thesis argues for the significance of castellated civic palaces in shaping and consolidating Florence’s territorial hegemony during the fifteenth century. Although fortress-like civic palaces were a predominant architectural type in Tuscan communes from the twelfth century onwards, it is an understudied field. In the literature of Italian Renaissance civic and military architecture, the castellated motifs of civic palaces have either been marginalised as an outdated and anti-classical form opposing Quattrocento all’antica taste, or have been oversimplified as a redundant object lacking defensive functionality. By analysing Michelozzo’s Palazzo Comunale in Montepulciano, a fifteenth-century castellated palace resembling Florence’s thirteenth-century Palazzo dei Priori, this thesis seeks to address the ways in which castellated forms substantially legitimised Florence’s political, military and cultural supremacy. Chapter One examines textual and pictorial representations of Florence’s castellation civic palaces and fortifications in order to capture Florentine perceptions of castellation. This investigation offers a conceptual framework, interpreting the profile of castellated civic palaces as an effective architectural affirmation of the contemporary idea of a powerful city-republic rather than being a symbol of despotism as it has been previously understood. Chapters Two and Three examine Montepulciano’s renovation project for the Palazzo Comunale within local and central administrative, socio-political, and military contexts during the first half of the fifteenth century, highlighting the Florentine features of Montepulciano’s town hall despite the town’s peripheral location within the Florentine dominion.

  • The Scultori and Ghisi Engraving Enterprise in Sixteenth-Century Mantua and Beyond
    “OLD IN SUBSTANCE AND NEW IN MANNER”: THE SCULTORI AND GHISI ENGRAVING ENTERPRISE IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY MANTUA AND BEYOND by Hilary Letwin A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December, 2013 Part 1 Abstract: This dissertation seeks to reframe the way in which the prints of the incisori Mantovani, Giovanni Battista (1503-1575), Adamo (1530?-1587) and Diana Scultori (1547-1612), and Giorgio Ghisi (1520-1582), are examined. Previously, their contributions in the printmaking process, largely engraving prints that are after the designs of other artists, have been dismissed as reproductive. This dissertation examines the ways in which these printmakers worked to elevate their engravings from simply reproductive to creative works of art in their own right. Their engravings, which certainly took inspiration from the designs of Giulio Romano, among others, were not the product of a close collaboration between a master and the engravers. Instead, the engravers appear to have worked fairly autonomously, in Mantua and elsewhere, engaging with and manipulating their source material, experimenting technically and in the design of their prints, and finally questioning the role of engraving within the greater framework of artistic practice in the sixteenth century. Chapter one examines the work of Giovanni Battista, who used printmaking as a creative outlet, seeking a freedom not possible in his other sculptural projects that were carried out according to the specifications of patrons and artistic masters. His engravings can be seen as an attempt to “conquer” these outside influences. Chapter two considers the prints and career of Adamo Scultori, who used his prints to comment on the “enslavement” of reproductive printmakers to their sources.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Tropic Architecture John Hendrix Mannerist architects in the Cinquecento created what can be called “tropic architecture.” They set out to break the rules of classical architecture, but the rule-breaking was done systematically, by applying rhetorical tropes, or fig- ures of speech, to architectural composition, the four most common being metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, and irony. According to Kristeller, rheto- ric was an important basis of Renaissance humanism. Students learned tropes and other figures of speech from well-circulated classical texts such as the Rhetorica ad Herennium and Quintilian’s Institutio oratorio . Examples of tropic devices can be found in works such as Giulio Romano’s Palazzo del Te and Michelangelo’s Porta Pia. There are many examples of mannerist works of architecture in the twentieth century that used the same tropic de- vices.
