RENOVATIO ARTIUM

Cimabue and the Franciscans Holly Flora Cimabue and the Franciscans sheds new light on the legendary artist Cimabue, revealing his sophisticated engagement with complicated intellectual and theological ideas about materials, memory, beauty, and experience.

T

his book offers a fresh look at the broader question of artistic change in the late thirteenth century by examining the intersection of two histories: that of the artist Cimabue (ca. 12401302), and that of the Franciscan Order. While focused on the work of a single artist, this study sheds new light on the religious motives and artistic means that fueled the period’s visual and spiritual transformations. Flora’s study reveals that Cimabue was not just a crucial figure in processes of stylistic change. He and his Franciscan patrons engaged with complicated intellectual and theological ideas about materials, memory, beauty, and experience, creating innovative works of art that celebrated the

Order and enabled new modes of Christian devotion. Cimabue’s contributions to the history of art thus can finally be recognized for their wide-ranging scope and impact within the rapidly-evolving religious culture of the late thirteenth century. Holly Flora is Associate Professor of Art History at Tulane University. A specialist in Italian art of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, she is the author of The Devout Belief of the Imagination: the Paris Meditationes Vitae Christi and Female Franciscan Spirituality in Trecento Italy (Brepols, 2009). She is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize (2010-11) and a fellowship at Villa I Tatti (2015-16).

Images of Discord Poetics and Politics of the Sacred Image in 15th Century Spain Felipe Pereda

F

elipe Pereda reconstructs the history of religious art in Spain between two crucial dates in the “politics of the image” enforced by the “Reyes Católicos”: 1478 and 1501. By focusing first on Seville, then on Granada, Pereda evokes the first moments of the institution of the “Santo Oficio” and its later developments. In both cities, the local authorities had established the obligation for citizens to keep religious images within their houses. In Seville, the authorities in particular targeted the “marranos” (Jewish converts); in Granada, the new “moriscos” (converted Muslims). In both

cases, the edicts emanated from the confessor of Queen Isabella of Castile, Fray Hernando de Talavera, himself of “converso” origin.

A

t the intersection of social history and intellectual history, Images of Discord shows in which ways religious and social conflicts determined the status and development of sacred art in late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century Castile and Andalusia and, more broadly, the history of Spanish art in the early modern period.

RENOVATIO ARTIUM

Painting as a Modern Art in Early Renaissance Italy Robert Brennan What did it mean for art to be “modern” before the period we regard as Modernity today?

C

oncepts of modernity have played a constitutive role in the canon of European art history at least since Giorgio Vasari, who looked back upon Giotto as the founder of “modern art” (arte moderna). The aim of this book is to establish a prehistory of Vasari’s view. Was Vasari merely projecting a sixteenth-century concept of artistic modernity onto the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, or were the artists of that period guided by some notion of modernity as well?

B

rennan argues that discussions of “modern art” were in fact widespread during Giotto’s time, according to the broad, medieval definition of “art” (ars) that encompassed activities as diverse as arithmetic, poetry, carpentry, music, and preaching.

Within this discourse, to make an art “modern” meant setting it on a new foundation in “science” (scientia) and rationalizing it accordingly. By the year 1400, Florentine writers such as Cennino Cennini and Franco Sacchetti were applying these same terms and principles to Giotto. In doing so they shed light not only on the structure of artistic development in the fourteenth century, but also on the way Giotto’s legacy shaped the prerogatives of artists in the early fifteenth – that is, in the generation of Brunelleschi, Donatello, and Masaccio. Robert Brennan earned his Ph.D. from the Institute of Fine Arts at NewYork University in 2016. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz, Max-Planck-Institut.

ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPTS AND INCUNABULA IN CAMBRIDGE

Books Printed in Italy before 1501 Azzurra Elena Andriolo, Suzanne Reynolds

I

ncunabula research is flourishing in the twenty-first century. Since the turn of the millennium, printed catalogues of globally important collections have been published and online cataloguing projects have transformed knowledge and access. Nevertheless, the c. 2,000 incunabula in Cambridge outside the University Library remain comparatively unknown. A part of the Cambridge Illuminations Research Project, this catalogue examines books at the Fitzwilliam Museum, and the Cambridge Colleges, including books that were printed in Italy up to 1500 and have illumination and decoration added by hand. Over the two catalogue volumes, the College material constitutes approximately 75% of the coverage of over 400 individual incunabula in total. These collections are extraordinarily rich, and have been built up over the last 500 years through the patronage of late medieval benefactors and scholars, such as Roger Bower (d. 1507) and Thomas Rotherham (1423–1500), as well as that of classical scholars, and through the bequests of eminent British

book collectors and bibliophiles from Archbishops Matthew Parker (1504-1575) and William Sancroft (1617-93), to Samuel Pepys (1633-1703), and John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946).

T

he catalogue focuses on books with decoration intended to ornament rather than to rubricate the text, that include one or more of the following elements: miniatures, woodcuts with contemporary colour added by hand, historiated initials and borders, other types of ornamental initials with or without borders, pen-flourished initials, and a variety of drawings or sketches. In bringing to bear on early printed books the same level of attention to the individual features of particular copies, the editors hope to further erode the artificial barriers between those working on illumination in manuscripts and in printed books, and to offer striking evidence of the inter-meshed worlds of manuscript and print in the second half of the fifteenth century.

Editio princeps A History of the Gutenberg Bible Eric Marshall White

T

he Gutenberg Bible is widely recognized as Europe’s first printed book, a book that forever changed the world. However, despite its initial impact, fame was fleeting: for the better part of three centuries the Bible was virtually forgotten; only after two centuries of tenacious and contentious scholarship did it attain its iconic status as a monument of human invention. Editio princeps: A History of the Gutenberg Bible is the first book to tell the whole story of Europe’s first printed edition, describing its creation at Mainz circa 1455, its impact on fifteenth-century life and religion, its fall into oblivion during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and its rediscovery and rise to worldwide fame during the centuries thereafter.

T

his comprehensive study examines the forty-nine surviving Gutenberg Bibles, and fragments of at least fourteen others, in the chronological order in which they came to light. Combining close analysis of material clues within the Bibles

themselves with fresh documentary discoveries, the book reconstructs the history of each copy in unprecedented depth, from its earliest known context through every change of ownership up to the present day. Along the way it introduces the colorful cast of proud possessors, crafty booksellers, observant travelers, and scholarly librarians who shaped our understanding of Europe’s first printed book. Bringing the ‘biographies’ of all the Gutenberg Bibles together for the first time, this richly illustrated study contextualizes both the historic cultural impact of the editio princeps and its transformation into a world treasure. Eric Marshall White, PhD, became Curator of Rare Books at Princeton University Library in 2015 after eighteen years as Curator of Special Collections at Southern Methodist University's Bridwell Library. A specialist in early European printing, he has published numerous articles and exhibition catalogues on rare books.

Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History

The History of Venetian Renaissance Sculpture (ca. 1410-1530) Anne Markham Schulz

As the first comprehensive treatment of Venetian sculpture of the early Renaissance in nearly a century, this book examines the documents, literary sources, and oeuvre of all Venetian sculptors in stone, bronze, and wood between the decoration of the crowning of San Marco at the beginning of the fifteenth century and the artistic revolution wrought by Jacopo Sansovino from ca. 1530 on.

I

ts text pays particular attention to the style of individual works, to their physical and artistic context, their sources and their influence, and synthesizes forty-five years of attentive looking, of research in archives and libraries of the Veneto, and hundreds of photographic campaigns throughout Italy and as far afield as Croatia and Poland – many from specially mounted scaffolds. The introduction treats general questions of material, purpose, patronage, the origin of sculptors, their workshop practices and the structure of guilds, while the conclusion considers ways in which Venetian sculpture was unique. There is no aspect of the subject to which the author has not contributed major discoveries and her book, with its 900

illustrations, should constitute a work of reference long into the future. Educated in the History of Art at Radcliffe College, Harvard University, and the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU, Anne Markham Schulz has taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, Brown University, and the Università Federico II at Naples. Her research on Italian Renaissance sculpture has resulted in dozens of articles published in America,England,France,Germany and Italy as well as eight books, including monographs on Bernardo Rossellino, Antonio Rizzo, Giambattista and Lorenzo Bregno, Nanni di Bartolo, and Giammaria Mosca. She is currently a Visiting Scholar at Brown University in Providence, RI.

Women and Jews in the Sachsenspiegel Picture-Books Madeline H. Caviness, Charles G. Nelson Contextual analysis of the representation of women and Jews in the fourteenth-century manuscripts of the German law book known as the Sachsenspiegel.

A

Germanist and an art historian examine the pictures and text in the four densely illustrated manuscripts of the Sachsenspiegel that were produced in the century following its composition by Eike von Repgow.This is the first extensive study of these famous picture books in English. Using critical frameworks based on performative and feminist theory, the authors give detailed consideration to the social differences reshaped and maintained by text and image. Although Eike’s project, realized in the early 1220s, was concerned with peaceful interaction between diverse groups, including Slavic Wends as well as Germans, and with the provision of guardians for the young, the handicapped and the judicially impaired, his text is open to subversion by the images. Changing emphases in the pictures accord with changing attitudes to women and Jews in the period of production of these works, between c. 1300 and 1360. A burgeoning book culture in the

fourteenth century carried Eike’s law into the town halls at a time when the German cities were increasingly Christianized; market churches were constructed in the judicial and economic hub even as Synagogues disappeared from town centres during the pogroms. The market complex became part of the material culture of the law. Madeline H. Caviness served on the faculty of Tufts University, 1972-2007. Her many books and articles on stained glass, medieval viewing communities, and reception history are well-known, as are her feminist interrogations of medieval culture. Charles G. Nelson trained in historical linguistics and medieval German dialects and literature, in Austria, Germany, and at the University of Michigan. As a faculty member at Tufts University, he began lecturing on literary theory in the 1960s, systematically testing its relevance to medieval writing and culture in papers and articles.

STUDIES IN MEDIEVAL AND EARLY RENAISSANCE ART HISTORY

Sublime Truth and the Senses Titian's Poesie for King Philip II of Spain Marie Tanner In this fascinating study Marie Tanner examines the ways in which Titian incorporates new concepts of sensuality and spirituality in the mythological paintings of King Philip II of Spain, whose originality and ravishing beauty belie their didactic content.

T

itian's mythological paintings for Philip II, known as the Poesie, are among the most frequently discussed works of art that address a favored Renaissance theme, the influence of the pagan gods on human actions. The commission is traceable to 1549, when Emperor Charles V summoned the artist to Augsburg following Prince Philip’s triumphal parade through the empire as his father’s heir apparent. The cycle that took shape comprises Danae and Venus and Adonis (Madrid, Prado); Diana and Actaeon and Diana and Callisto (Edinburgh, National Gallery of Scotland); Perseus and Andromeda (London, Wallace Collection) and Europa (Boston, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum). These masterpieces of the artist’s mature period can be considered the most important Renaissance grouping of mythological paintings executed by a single artist.

T

he author proposes that Philip’s expected elevation prompted the commission and that the subjects form a cohesive program of Hapsburg ethical views and political concerns, and that Titian created new visual idioms to represent the complex issues which the subjects address in part by engaging

themes with a significant prior history in family patronage. While Titian's Poesie for Philip II are well known monuments of western culture, they have never before been investigated with this focus.

T

he dispersal of the pictures' in the seventeenth century resulted in a scholarly focus on the single pictures and a concentration on their sensual aspects. In Aretino, a Venetian dialogue on painting, Titian’s friend and apologist Lodovico Dolce is a spokesman for art that following poetry, entices through beauty, while hiding important truths beneath the veil of allegory. This study analyzes the ways in which Titian incorporates new concepts of sensuality and spirituality in a Venetian vernacular to create masterpieces whose originality and ravishing beauty belie their didactic content.

Marie Tanner an expert on Renaissance art an architecture, is the author of the prize-winning study The Last Descendant of Aeneas: The Hapsburgs and the Mythic Image of the Emperors (Yale, 1993). Her most recent book is Jerusalem on the Hill: Rome and the Vision of St. Peter's in the Renaissance (Harvey Miller, 2010).

Netherlandish Art and Luxury Goods in Renaissance Spain Daan van Heesch, Robrecht Janssen, Jan Van der Stock (eds) This fascinating collection of essays explores the diverse ways in which Netherlandish art and luxury goods shaped and transformed the artistic landscape of Renaissance Spain.

C

overing a broad range of approaches and perspectives, the book includes essays on alabaster sculpture, painting, tapestry, architectural design, carved altarpieces, prints and mathematical instruments. Through the lens of both Netherlandish and Spanish actors (artists, patrons, collectors, merchants and other intermediaries), special attention is paid to local cultures of collecting and display. Together, the contributors provide a fascinating and multifaceted view of the reciprocal relationships between the Low Countries and Spain in the fifteenth, sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. With contributions by Maite Barrio Olano, Ion Berasain Salvarredi, Iain Buchanan, Krista De Jonge, Raymond Fagel, Noelia García Pérez, Dirk Imhof, Nicola Jennings, Ethan Matt Kavaler, Jesús Muñiz Petralanda, Eduardo Lamas-Delgado,

Sephardic Book Artth of the 15 Century Luís U. Afonso, Tiago Moita (eds)

T

he current volume presents ten different studies dealing with the final stages of Hebrew book art production in medieval Iberia. Ranging from the Farhi Codex, copied and illuminated in the late 14th century, to the Philadelphia Bible, copied and illuminated in Lisbon in 1496, this volume discusses a wide scope of topics related with the production, consumption and circulation of medieval decorated Hebrew manuscripts. Among the issues discussed in this volume we highlight the role played by three distinct artistic languages (Mudéjar, Late Gothic and Renaissance) in the shaping of 15th-century Sephardic illumination,

the codicological specificity of some solutions in terms of layout, the relation between the layout of these manuscripts and Hebrew incunabula, the use of geometric decoration in scientific diagrams, and the afterlife of these manuscripts in Europe and Asia following the expulsion of the Jews from Iberia. Luís U. Afonso is Professor of Art History at the University of Lisbon. He is the author of several studies on Portuguese Late Medieval and Renaissance art. Tiago Moita is concluding his Ph.D. at the University of Lisbon on 15th-century Portuguese Hebrew illumination.

Art Moves The Material Culture of Processions in Renaissance Perugia Pascale Rihouet

A

rt Moves reconstructs the appearance and conditions of use of processional artifacts, whether they were worn (uniforms and liveries), held by individuals, (maces, flags, and candles), or carried communally (canopy, reliquaries, banners, or statues). This is the first book on the material culture of processions as a performative, multi-media, apparatus. It investigates how objects were charged with meaning from medium and fabrication, to market value, to size and weight. Ritual settings gave them a symbolic force that was heightened through their mobility. In the public events studied here - religious and civic celebrations, elite funerals, papal entries, city-wide penance, and relic transfers - ‘moving’ [pun intended] objects became the meaningful vehicles of ritual efficacy, shaping ideology, group solidarity, and social cohesion. Despite the liturgical framework, processional paraphernalia foregrounded the laity, notably secular authorities and confraternities. Art Moves also raises the issue of conflict that material ephemera could invite or even spark. Renaissance

Perugia, a middling-sized city, presents a wealth of textual, visual, and material evidence, not to mention its medieval and renaissance topography. In Perugia more than anywhere else perhaps, several banners played a key role in crisis processions, becoming cult objects revered into the nineteenth century. This study also revisits artistic representations of corteges, questioning the extent of their documentary value. The approach intertwines the disciplines of art history, social history, material culture, religious studies, and anthropology. This publication offers a new way of looking at the dynamics of urban processions while revivifying the sensory experience of public life in Italy, ca. 1350-1600. Pascale Rihouet, PhD Brown University (Providence, USA) / Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (Paris), is adjunct faculty at the Rhode Island School of Design since 2008.

The Medieval World at our Fingertips Manuscript Illuminations from the Collection of Sandra Hindman Christopher de Hamel

T

his fascinating book offers a most engaging and fresh glimpse into the world of the Middle Ages. It accompanies an exhibit of some thirty diverse illuminated manuscript pages, and in a series of short descriptive essays on each of the miniatures the reader is taken on a remarkable journey from the twelfth to the sixteenth century, from which we can learn not only a great deal about the art of illumination, but also about the monasteries and cathedrals of Europe and such prominent medieval centres as the cities of London, Florence, Paris and Nuremberg. Moreover, Christopher de Hamel’s wide knowledge and vivid reflections provide the historical and cultural context that help us to fully understand and truly appreciate these special works of art. The illuminated pages presented here are part of the impressive and broad-ranging collection assembled over twenty-five years by the medieval scholar and long-time Chicagoan Sandra Hindman. They represent both biblical and secular subjects and include the work of master illuminators such as Maestro Daddesco, Giovanni di Paolo and the Master of Mary of Burgundy. In addition to the colour reproductions of all the exhibited pages, the essays are sumptously illustrated with further related and

comparative images, many of which are drawn from the collections of the Chicago Institute of Art itself. The introduction to the volume is by the wellknown medievalist James Marrow, and there is also a Catalogue by Matthew Westerby giving full details, descriptions, provenance and bibliography of the exhibited illuminations. Christopher de Hamel is perhaps the best-known name world-wide in the field of medieval manuscripts. He has written multiple books on manuscripts and book collecting, many of which have been translated into at least seven languages, and he has also lectured throughout the world. For nearly forty years he worked at Sotheby’s London in the Department ofWestern Manuscripts and later as a Consultant. Recently retired as Librarian of the Parker Library at Corpus Christi College in Cambridge, he is Fellow of the College, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and a member of the Roxburghe Club. James H. Marrow is Professor Emeritus of Art History, Princeton University, and Honorary Keeper of Illuminated Manuscripts, The Fitzwilliam Museum (Cambridge, England). Matthew J.Westerby holds a PhD from the University ofWisconsin-Madison. His area of specialization is Romanesque art of medieval Spain.

STUDIES IN BAROQUE ART

Perspectives on the Art of Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77) Andrea Bubenik, Anne Thackray (eds) This collection of essays offers critical perspectives on the creation and reception of prints and drawings by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), and seeks to contribute to a new appreciation of an undervalued and excitingly interdisciplinary artist.

W

enceslaus Hollar (1607 Prague – 1677 London) was one of the most important artists of the 17th century. His international career, affluent patrons, and insatiable curiosity enabled him to create a diverse range of prints and drawings, remarkable for their varied subject matter and exceptional technical qualities. Hollar’s oeuvre includes cities and fortifications, portraits, religious subjects, politics, mythology, architecture, heraldry and numismatics, antiquarian relics, costume, maps, sports, classical literature, landscape views, ‘Old Master’ drawings and paintings, and natural history. His work invokes his close observation of, and engagement with, the natural world, as much as the society of his times.

U

nfortunately, Hollar has received less attention than many of his contemporaries. He has all too often been undervalued as being primarily a ‘reproductive printmaker’ – one who reproduces in print the designs of others, or simply copies paintings into print. This volume seeks to revise how Hollar has formerly been characterized, through

an exploration of hitherto unexamined drawings, as well as the more innovative qualities of his printmaking. It includes new research on Hollar’s biography and his patrons, fresh perspectives on Hollar’s portraits and urban scenes, and insights into Hollar’s forays into the natural world. Partly the outcome of a 2010 symposium held at the Thomas Fisher Rare Books Library at the University of Toronto (repository of third largest collection of Hollar prints), this book comprises contributions from nine international print scholars, from Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, England, and The Netherlands. Their work on Hollar reaffirms his importance not only to the history of printmaking, but also to the art, science and culture of his times. Andrea Bubenik, Ph.D., is Lecturer in Art History at the University of Queensland in Australia. Anne Thackray, worked in the curatorial departments of the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery, London, and taught art history at the Open University and the University of Edinburgh.

Drawing and the Senses An Early Modern History Caroline O. Fowler A study of drawing and philosophy in artistic practice, important not only for art history but also for literature studies, intellectual history, religious history, history of the book, and history of science.

Ribera (1591-1652), Guercino (1591J usepe 1666), Stefano della Bella (1610-1664),

Abraham Bloemaert (1566-1651), and Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) all created printed drawing lessons dedicated to the practice and theory of drawing. These artists composed wordless compositions on a page of eyes, ears, hands, mouths and noses, configurations that were ostensibly meant to teach the practice of drawing. Yet as this book argues, these were not only pedagogical treatises on practice but also theoretical works on draftsmanship made by the most influential European draftsmen. This book is the first theoretical consideration of these major works. Reading these treatises in the context of an early modern intellectual history of the senses, this book examines how artists visually theorized the process of

producing knowledge through making lines on a page. Beginning with the pedagogical treatises of Albrecht Dürer and progressing through the pedagogical writings, drawings, and printed drawing books of early-modern draftsmen, this book traces a history of the senses and drawing, demonstrating how shifting concepts of the body, divinity and god changed the processes by which artists conceived of drawing the world, themselves and others. Caroline O. Fowler is the A.W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of the History of Art at Yale University. She received her Ph.D. from Princeton University and has held fellowships at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts and the Getty Research Institute. She studies intersections between works on paper and intellectual history.

Mochi’s Edge and Bernini’s Baroque Estelle Lingo

T

his book takes the extraordinary art of the Tuscan sculptor Francesco Mochi (15801654) as the entry point for an inquiry into the historical and cultural forces reshaping sculpture at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Mochi has long been understood as an early innovator of the “baroque” style whose career was eclipsed by the rise of his younger contemporary Gianlorenzo Bernini. But for his sole seventeenth-century biographer, what distinguished Mochi’s sculpture was his determination to adhere to “the Florentine manner.” This study argues that the post-Tridentine religious climate and the demands of consolidating absolutist regimes posed specific challenges for sculpture, particularly as the medium had been assertively developed during the first half of the sixteenth century by Florentine sculptors, most famously Michelangelo. As analyzed here, Mochi’s highly distinctive sculptural style stemmed directly from his attempt to carry forward a Florentine and Michelangelesque tradition of sculpture –

above all its commitments to the representation of the body, the materiality of sculpture, and the agency of the artist – and to reconcile that tradition with imperatives of his own day. Mochi’s ambitious undertaking produced an extreme tension in his art that resulted in some of the century’s most breathtaking sculptures, though ultimately fracturing his career. The book offers wholly new interpretations of Mochi’s monumental works and a new, historically engaged account of the origins of “baroque” sculpture and the rise to dominance of Bernini’s mature sculptural style. The volume is enriched by specially commissioned color photographs of Mochi’s sculptures. Estelle Lingo, is Associate Professor of Early Modern European Art and Donald E.

The Medici Archive Project

Artemisia Gentileschi in a Changing Light Sheila Barker (ed.) New findings on the painter's life and oeuvre, studied through wide-ranging methodologies.

R

aised to the status of an international luminary by her contemporaries and now revered as one of the defining talents of the seventeenth century, Artemisia Gentileschi poses urgent questions for today’s scholars. The recent outpouring of new attributions and archival discoveries has profoundly enriched our knowledge of the artist, but it has also complicated, and sometimes contradicted, the former storyline. If she was illiterate and unschooled, how did she befriend Galileo and court playwright Jacopo Cicognini? If she could not pay her bills, why did she continue to spend lavishly? How can we define her authorship if we admit workshop productions to her oeuvre? In these essays, an international cast of scholars and experts grapples with these problems, opening new paths of inquiry and laying bare their methodologies in fields as diverse as laboratory analysis, archival research, cultural history, literary analysis, and feminist art history. Among these approaches, connoisseurship takes center stage. By reconstructing the chronology and rationale of Artemisia’s artistic iter, connoisseurship

reveals the richness of her visual dialogues, including those with prominent contemporaries such as Caravaggio, Annibale Carracci, Vouet, Cristofano Allori, and Stanzione; with past artistic giants like Donatello and Michelangelo; and with the various hands who passed through her workshop as collaborators and assistants. These essays infuse our understanding of Artemisia with complexity and nuance, yet they also trace her characteristic mix of intelligence and verve in her art, her correspondence, and her deft social maneuvering, running like a thread through all stages of her life. Sheila Barker, Ph.D. (Columbia University, 2002) is the founding director of the Jane Fortune Resarch Program on Women Artists, based at Medici Archive Project in Florence. Her previous publications include "Artiste nel chiostro" (Nerbini, 2016) and "Women Artists in Early Modern Italy: Careers, Fame, and Collectors" (Harvey Miller / Brepols, 2016).

Cosimo III de’ Medici (1642–1723), Giovanni Battista Foggini The Metropolitan Museum, New York

A Medici Pilgrimage The Devotional Journey of Cosimo III to Santiago de Compostela (1669) Miguel Taín Guzmán

T

he Grand Tour of Cosimo di Ferdinando de' Medici, prince of Tuscany, between 1668 and 1669, included many of the great states of Europe - Spain, Portugal, England, Holland and France in a carefully prepared itinerary chosen to help educate and prepare the 26-year old prince to one day become Grand Duke of Tuscany. All the places chosen to visit were selected to impart cultural, economic, or political advantage to the prince, and none more so than his longest visit: Spain. Lasting more than five months, he visited the cities of Barcelona, Martorell, Montserrat, Igualada, Lleida, Zaragoza, Daroca, Guadelajara, Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Toledo, Mora, Consuegra, Villanueva de los Infantes, Andújar, El Carpio, Córdoba, Castro del Río, Granada, Ecija, Carmona, Sevilla, Zafra, Badajoz, and briefly, Lisbon. In March 1669, he reached Santiago de Compostela, arguably the highlight of the trip, where he made a pilgrimage to the tomb of St. James the Apostle in the city's cathedral. The travel diaries of five members of his retinue describe the visit in great

detail, providing a rare account of the city and the pilgrim's rites and rituals. Another member of the prince's entourage, the Florentine artist, Pier Maria Baldi, painted a large-scale panorama of Compostela, the most valuable cityscape from the 1600s known to date. Using hitherto unknown source material, this volume charts a journey to one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the world, then held as an equal to Rome and Jerusalem, that stimulated the piety of the man who would become Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. Miguel Taín Guzmán received his prize-winning doctorate in art history from the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela in 1997, where, since 2001, he has taught art history as Associate Professor. Dr. Taín Guzmán has held fellowships at the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence, at Harvard'sVilla I Tatti, and at the Brandenburg Research Academy. His current research focus is the art and architecture of travel and pilgrimage in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Spain.

CORPUS RUBENIANUM LUDWIG BURCHARD

The Henri IV Series Alexis Merle du Bourg

O

n 26 February 1622, in Paris, Rubens entered into a contractual agreement to execute two series of paintings, ‘by his own hand’, intended to decorate the two parallel galleries of the Parisian palace – the so-called Luxembourg Palace – of Maria de’ Medici, widow of Henri IV and mother of Louis XIII. Completed in 1625, the twenty-four monumental paintings of the western gallery exalting the life of the Queen Mother form a universally admired ensemble, on display at the Musée du Louvre for the last two centuries. However, the second part of this grand project, envisioned for the eastern gallery of the palace, was abandoned in 1630. The suspension and then premature termination of the project after the Queen Mother’s exile in July 1631 have deprived us of a work that would have been unique, both in its magnitude and in the

artistic means Rubens deployed to glorify the royal couple. The Galerie Henri IV, planned as a commemoration of the king’s military victories and a celebration of his triumphs ‘in the manner of the triumphs of the Romans’ (as the contract has it), remains a puzzle whose missing pieces are more numerous than what is preserved. Still, some fifteen works – preparatory oil-sketches on panel and large canvases, more or less completed – have survived. It is above all through the study of these works that this volume aims to arrive at a better understanding of the context, the iconography, and the political significance of the Galerie Henri IV. Despite the frustration (for us, as for Rubens himself) of its abandonment, the unfinished project remains an extraordinary feat of Baroque encomium, and one of the artist’s greatest masterpieces.

Architecture and Architectural Sculpture The Jesuit Church Ria Fabri, Piet Lombaerde

B

y the time of its completion in 1621, the former Jesuit church in Antwerp was one of the most brilliant achievements in the Southern Netherlands, particularly due to the ceiling paintings after Rubens’ designs and his two altarpieces. Nevertheless, from the seventeenth century to the present day, the precise extent of Rubens’ involvement in the architecture and the architectural sculpture of the church has been a point of discussion. Rubens was in close contact with the Jesuit François de Aguilón, designer of the ground plan of the Antwerp Jesuit church, and with lay brother Pieter Huyssens who made most of the drawings for the church. Known to be by Rubens’ hand are a limited number of drawings and a sketch in oil for architectural ornaments

and sculptures that relate both to the exterior and to the interior of the structure. Despite its numerous restorations, the iconographic scheme of the church is even today visibly influenced by Rubens’ jaunty visual language which goes back to examples of ancient antiquity and its Christian interpretations in early Baroque churches in Rome. Some of the church’s decorative designs were also modelled after works by contemporary Italian artists such as Cherubino Alberti. In this critical catalogue, the design drawings and oil sketches attributed to Rubens, a number of which later served as models for religious as well as profane architectural decoration, including that of Cardinal-Infant Ferdinand's Pompa Introïtus in 1635, are extensively discussed.

CARLO CESARE MALVASIA’S FELSINA PITTRICE The Lives of the Bolognese Painters

Life of Marcantonio Raimondi and Critical Catalogue of Prints by or after Bolognese Masters Elizabeth Cropper, Lorenzo Pericolo

M

alvasia’s life of Marcantonio Raimondi includes Malvasia’s critical catalogue of prints by or after Bolognese artists, from Giulio Bonasone to Giovan Battista Pasqualini. A great connoisseur and avid collector of prints, Malvasia recognizes the intelligence and novelty inherent in Giorgio Vasari’s life of Marcantonio with its list of prints produced by the Bolognese engraver. In republishing Vasari’s life, Malvasia not only adds valuable new information, but also completes Vasari’s list by cataloguing all the prints unnoticed by his Florentine predecessor. Aware of the interest of amateurs and collectors in identifying old and new prints, establishing their states, and building up an exhaustive collection, Malvasia undertakes the groundbreaking task of describing, one by one or by coherent series, the whole corpus of prints executed by or after Bolognese masters as far as he could determine. He describes the subjects of these works accurately, transcribes their inscriptions, specifies their techniques (whether engraving, etching, or woodcut), supplying their measurements in Bolognese once. In listing the works of Bonasone, the Carracci,

Giovan Luigi Valesio, Guido Reni, and Simone Cantarini, among others, Malvasia often comments on their technical and aesthetic qualities, resorting to a refined and complex terminology that reveals his profound knowledge of printmaking. In her introductory essay, Naoko Takahatake explains the historical significance of Malvasia’s innovative production of the first extensive print catalogue, shedding new light on the unique context of Bolognese printmaking in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In her notes, Takahatake identifies over eight hundred prints mentioned by Malvasia, almost all of which are reproduced in color in a separate volume. Underscoring the importance of Malvasia’s critical catalogue for amateurs and collectors, Carlo Alberto Girotto offers a critical edition of the annotations made by the French art theorist Roger de Piles to his own copy of the Felsina pittrice (now in the library of the Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art, Paris). At the end of the translation and notes, Lorenzo Pericolo publishes the sections of Malvasia’s Scritti originali (Ms. B16, Biblioteca Comunale dell’Archiginnasio, Bologna) relating to Bonasone.

his catalogue includes almost 400 drawings of mainly small antiquities such as vases, lamps, mirrors, tripods, bells, armour, weights, measures, musical instruments, mirrors, brooches and jewellery, as well as designs for Renaissance and seventeenth-century vases, candelabra, princely gold and silver tableware. Amongst the antiquities are a distinct group of Egyptian artefacts and some of the earliest known records of Greek vases, together with countless objects of everyday life. Amongst the modern designs are works by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Italian artists such as Luzio Luzzi, Giovanni Battista Montano, Giovanni Angelo Canini, Lelio Orsi and others.

Ceremonies, Costumes, Portraits and Genre Mark McDonald

C

assiano dal Pozzo’s print collection was unique in its scope and organisation. Some 3,000 prints are known, in nine albums and many loose impressions mainly divided between the British Library and the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. Cassiano (1588–1657) and his younger brother Carlo Antonio dal Pozzo (1606–89) did not commission printmakers to engrave plates (as they did drawings), buying instead what was available from the flourishing printmaking industry of the time. The material they collected was essentially documentary, and they organised the collection by subject matter: costumes, religious processions and ceremonies, tombs and catafalques, the history of St Peter’s, architecture, topography, maps and military engagements, portraits, social and humorous subjects, and so on. This first part of the catalogue presents ceremonies, costumes, portrait and genre prints.

A

remarkable proportion of the prints are not to be found in the existing literature, and many constitute additions to the known works of major

printmakers. Indeed Cassiano’s collection has been described as ‘so far outside the common range of print collectors both in the seventeenth century and today that a very high proportion of its contents is excessively rare and will only with great difficulty be found elsewhere’.

T

his ground-breaking catalogue will be an essential resource not only for students of prints, but for all those studying European visual culture in the seventeenth century. Mark McDonald is curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, responsible for Italian, Spanish, Mexican and early French prints and illustrated books. He joined the Museum in 2014 after working at the British Museum as curator of Old Master prints and Spanish drawings. His interests embrace European graphic art and Latin American printmaking, and he has published widely on these subjects.

DISTINGUISHED CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF THE ARTS IN THE BURGUNDIAN NETHERLANDS

Cut in Alabaster A Material of Sculpture 1330-1530 Kim Woods Cut in Alabaster is the first comprehensive study of alabaster sculpture in Western Europe during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance.

W

hile marble is associated with Renaissance Italy, alabaster was the material commonly used elsewhere in Europe and has its own properties, traditions and meanings. It enjoyed particular popularity as a sculptural material during the two centuries 1330-1530, when alabaster sculpture was produced both for indigenous consumption and for export. Focussing especially on England, the Burgundian Netherlands and Spain, three territories closely linked through trade routes, diplomacy and cultural exchange, this book explores and compares the material practice and visual culture of alabaster sculpture in late medieval Europe.

C

ut in Alabaster charts sculpture from quarry to contexts of use, exploring practitioners, markets and functions as well as issues of consumption, display and material meanings. It provides detailed examination of tombs, altarpieces and both elite and popular sculpture, ranging from high status bespoke commissions to small, low-cost carvings produced commercially for a more popular clientele. Kim Woods is a senior lecturer in Art History at the Open University, and a specialist in northern European late Gothic sculpture. She combines an object-based approach with an interest in materials and cultural exchange.

Collecting and Empires The Impact of Empires on Collections and Museums from Antiquity to the Present Maia Gahtan, Eva-Maria Troelenberg (eds) The comparative historical investigation of imperialism through the lens of collecting practices, museum archetypes and museums proper, helps shape our understanding of contemporary aesthetics and diversity management as well as helps identify what is imperial about our own approaches to material culture.

T

he creation and dissolution of empires has been a constant feature of human history from ancient times through the present day. Establishing new identities and new power relationships, empires also irrevocably altered social structures and the material culture on which those social structures were partly based. The political activities of empires are materially reflected in the movement of objects from periphery to center (and vice versa) and in the formation and display of collections which represent the potential for the production and the dissemination of knowledge. Imperial collecting practices tell stories that are complementary to and go beyond the classical sources of official history, the statistics of social history and even

the narratives of collective or individual oral history. Building on previous work on European and colonial object histories, this collection of essays—for the first time—approaches the subject of collecting and empires from a global and inclusive comparative perspective by addressing selection of the greatest empires the world has known from Han China to Hellenistic Greece to Aztec Mexico to the Third Reich. The comparative historical investigation of imperialism through the lens of collecting practices, museum archetypes and museums proper, helps shape our understanding of contemporary aesthetics and diversity management as well as helps identify what is imperial about our own approaches to material culture.

COLLECTORS & DEALERS

The Journal of a Transatlantic Art Dealer René Gimpel (1918-1939) Diana J. Kostyrko

T

he transatlantic art dealer, René Gimpel (1881-1945), maintained an interwar journal for twenty-one years until, like many Jews in France, he was overtaken by radical political events. In this book, Diana Kostyrko explores why Gimpel's journal should be taken seriously as a sociohistorical document. In contextualising the journal, including its reception since first published in 1963, she intercuts art history with material culture and a sociology of modernity. Firstly setting the art dealer in context, the author examines the dominant themes which thread through the journal, ranging from the escalation in power and status of European dealers catering to but also rivalling wealthy private collectors, to the irresistible pressure of twentieth-century modernity on collecting practices. For all those who are concerned with the European formulation of taste in the fine and decorative arts in the early twentieth century, the trend for

eighteenth-century revivalism in France and North America, the acculturation of American museums, and the rise to stardom of the modern art market on the back of the auction house will find much of value here. Overall the author undertakes to distil what René Gimpel's legacy might be. Finally, she asks: was the Paris art dealer incongruously but ultimately a prophet concerned with the over-materiality of modern society, and a cultural pessimist to boot: or did he merely reflect a range of common perceptions abroad at the time? Diana J. Kostyrko is an art historian and provenance researcher, and a visiting fellow in cultural history with the School of Literature, Languages and Linguistics at the Australian National University.

Auction Prices and the Evolution of Taste in Dutch and Flemish Golden Age Painting (1642–2011) The Value of Taste Peter Carpreau

T

aste is a well known but largely underestimated phenomenon. Yet it is one of the factors that has shaped our knowledge and view of art. Why is Rembrandt van Rijn today considered to be one of the greatest painters in European art while Gerard de Lairesse, Rembrandt’s younger contemporary and one of the best-selling painters of his day, is now forgotten?

T

his book is a systematic and quantitative study of taste. More specifically it focuses on the painters of the seventeenth-century Low Countries and follows the changes in consumer evaluation of them from the seventeenth century up to 2008. Proceeding from the same starting point as Gerald Reitlinger in his monumental The Economics of Taste, it uses the prices paintings have fetched at auction as a basis for tracing trends in the taste of the art-buying public.

W

hereas Reitlinger’s approach was rather intuitive, this study develops a sound methodological basis for researching taste and auction prices. It is not only quantitative methods and properties of auction prices that require a specific approach: in historical research quantitative data and analyses are only reliable when they can also be tested against qualitative or historical sources. Based on a statistical analysis, various ‘universal’ painters, such as Rubens and Rembrandt, are defined. In addition, however, specific genres such as landscape, portrait, history painting, and so on are analysed. In the case of eighty-three painters there is sufficient information to allow the profiling of individual price trends. But other quantitative data drawn from the examination of collections or catalogues raisonnés prove an additional source of information when compared with auction prices. This book shows what big data and statistics can mean to our understanding of art. Peter Carpreau studied Art History at the University of Leuven and the Sorbonne Paris IV. Today he is Head of the Old Masters Departement of the M Museum in Leuven.

An Index Of Images In English Manuscripts From Chaucer To Henry VIII

Oxford College Libraries Fascicle I: All Souls - Lincoln Lynda Dennison

T

his is the eighth volume in a continuing series of publications listing and identifying all illustrations contained in English manuscripts from the time of Chaucer to Henry VIII. The present fascicle is the first of two which catalogues manuscripts of the College libraries of the University of Oxford. It includes entries for 310 manuscripts for eleven of the colleges. It is the first such study to be undertaken describing all decorative aspects of English manuscripts in Oxford college libraries in the period and it includes 176 manuscripts not recorded by Alexander and Temple and many not previously researched from the viewpoint of pictorial information. Scribes working in pen and ink, rather than pictorial decorators with colours and gold, were responsible for

much of the inventive imagery which equals that in miniatures in pigment. Pen and wash drawings are also represented as well as fully-painted miniatures which are mostly confined to devotional books in this Index. The entries in the catalogue note the subject-matter of every illustration in each manuscript, from full-page miniatures and historiated initials to marginalia, added drawings and nota bene signs. A comprehensive index of pictorial subjects provides readers with complete references to the pictorial content with thematic groupings. The volume includes a users’ manual, an extensive glossary of subjects and terms and indexes of authors / texts and manuscripts with coats of arms. There are forty-four black and white illustrations.

The Inventory Of King Henry VIII

Arms, Armour and Ordnance Maria Hayward, Philip Ward (eds)

T

he Inventory is not only a catalogue of magnificence but also a key text for evaluating the successes and failures of the Tudor monarchy. Henry VIII had extravagant ideas of image and authority and loved his possessions, amongst which where over 2,000 pieces of tapestry, 2,028 items of gold and silver plate and 41 growns. Although he left the country with heavy debts and an empty exchequer, he was far from bankrupting the monarchy as some scholars have suggested. Indeed the Inventory allows us to calculate that at the time of his death the contents of his palaces and wardrobes

were worth about £300,000 and the military and naval stores a further £300,000. Most of what the King owned has unfortunately since disappeared. Yet the Inventory tells us what once existed, enables us to identify surviving objects and also helps once belonged to hem. The transcription of the inventory is accompanied by a historical introduction, a glossary of technical terms, and an exhaustive Index which is a major tool of scholarship in its own right. The essays will be accompanied by an introduction, full bibliography and index.

Africans in English Caricature 1769–1819 Black Jokes White Humour Temi Odumosu

B

etween 1769 and 1819 London experienced an unprecedented growth in the proliferation of texts and images in the popular sphere, engaging learned citizens in discussion and commentary on the most pressing social and political issues of the day. From the repeal of the Stamp Act to the French revolution, the local Westminster election or the abolition of the slave trade, these prints, political pamphlets, plays, novels and periodicals collaborated (sometimes intentionally) in critique, praise and assessment of the country’s changing socio-economic climate.

A

frican people were a critical aspect of this world of images, and their presence conveyed much about the implications of travel, colonialism and slavery on the collective psyche. Whether encountered on the streets of the city, in opulent stately homes, or in tracts describing the horrors of the slave trade, the British paid attention to Africans (consciously or not), and developed a

means of expressing the impact of these encounters through images.

S

cholarship has begun to interrogate the presence of Africans in British art of this period, but very little has been written about their place in visual and literary humour created in a metropolitan context. This book fills this scholarly lacuna, exploring how and why satirical artists both mocked and utilized these characters as subversive comic weaponry.

The Prints of Paul Sandby (1731-1809) A Catalogue Raisonné Ann V. Gunn

B

orn in Nottingham, Paul Sandby (17311809) is best known as a founder member of the Royal Academy and a prominent figure in the development of British watercolour painting. However, he was also one of the most prolific and inventive printmakers in eighteenth-century Britain. From his early years as a draughtsman for the military survey of Scotland, and later from his extensive tours throughout England and Wales, he depicted the people, towns, castles and landscapes of the nation. He provided the public with images of their country which contributed to the emerging appreciation of native landscape, to antiquarian interests, and to the development of picturesque tours within the British Isles.

A

lthough he never travelled abroad, he reproduced the work of fellow artists who had,

tapping into the Grand Tour market with prints of Ionian antiquities, Neapolitan landscapes and the Roman carnival. But his work encompassed more than landscape; he could move from the pastoral humour of illustrations to Allan Ramsay’s poem The Gentle Shepherd, through the urban realism of his Cries of London to the merciless satire of his attacks on William Hogarth.

F

rom the 1740s to the 1780s he made over 380 prints: engravings, etchings, soft ground etchings and finally aquatints, a medium in which he was a pioneer. Aquatint enabled printmakers to reproduce the effects of watercolour paintings; Sandby gave the process its name and developed varied techniques which allowed the exact reproduction of the artist’s brush strokes, producing some of the most beautiful prints ever made in this medium.
