Abstract

"Gérard Seghers (1591-1651), à l'instar de Pierre-Paul Rubens et Anton Van Dyck, eut une carrière artistique prestigieuse. Peintre d'histoire, ses grands tableaux ont su attirer à lui une clientèle aisée, aussi bien privée que publique. De nombreux musées dans le monde et en France conservent ses oeuvres (Washington, Vienne, Rome, Madrid, Paris, Lille, Nancy, Reims, Bordeaux, Arras, Nîmes...). L'originalité de sa peinture repose sur le subtil accord de deux styles distincts : le Maniérisme du XVIe siècle et le Caravagisme qui lui était contemporain. Les exemples les plus frappants se trouvent dans ses réalisations exécutées au retour de son voyage artistique en Italie et en Espagne, après i6zo. Première rétrospective consacrée à Gérard Seghers, l'exposition au musée des Beaux-Arts de Valenciennes se donne pour but l'analyse de cette période (1620-1630), probablement la plus créatrice du peintre anversois. Anne Delvingt a consacré sa thèse de doctorat à Gérard Seghers. Elle livre ici une biographie de l'artiste et un texte sur ses années de formation à Anvers et son voyage à Rome (entre 16n et 1620). Elle expose la pénétra-tion du Caravagisme en Flandre et la manière très originale dont Seghers l'a pratiqué. Elle envisage ensuite les rapports du peintre avec la cour de Bruxelles et les Archiducs. Elle traite des dessins de Seghers, très rares chez cet artiste. Les notices du catalogue détaillent les oeuvres exposées, dont certaines sont inédites." P. [4] of cover.

Abstract

La parabola di questo pittore di fede caravaggesca non è dissimile da quella di altri suoi colleghi nordici, i quali, una volta esaurita l'esperienza romana, si spingevano nei centri periferici dello Stato pontificio alla ricerca di incarichi e commissioni. Ma a differenza di molti altri artisti rimasti purtroppo anonimi, la vita di Jan van Beyghem, alias Giovanni Vangembes, emerge con forza dalla documentazione, grazie ad un lungo e approfondito scavo archivistico compiuto dall'autrice negli archivi della città natale del pittore, Malines, e in quelli della città di adozione dove egli visse per la maggior parte della sua vita e dove le sue opere sono ancora conservate, Ferrara. La vita di questo artista non eccelso, figlio di un tagliatore di diamanti originario di Anversa, è rocambolesca come la sua pittura, un caravaggismo di sapore francese che guarda ai maestri emiliani contemporanei, come Guercino e Bononi. Cresciuto nella bottega del padre, degna di un set di Peter Greenaway, una volta terminato l'apprendistato presso il maestro Melchior van Avont intraprende, giovinetto, il viaggio in Italia, probabilmente attraverso la mediazione del potente nunzio di Fiandra, il ferrarese Guido Bentivoglio. I documenti, per la maggior parte inediti, ci raccontano di un carattere non mite che condusse a frequenti alterchi sfociati in processi e a uno stupro ai danni della giovane servetta Dorotea. Quegli stessi documenti, atti notarili e contabili, testamenti e inventari, ci permettono di ricostruire, inoltre, il patrimonio, le committenze e il network sociale e professionale del pittore, assieme ad una avvincente saga familiare catturata nell'arco di un secolo, tra il 1588 e il 1689, tra le Fiandre e l'Emilia. Il volume ripercorre le tappe di questa vicenda, ed è arricchito da un saggio di Enrico Ghetti che ricostruisce il probabile soggiorno romano del pittore sullo sfondo della grande avventura caravaggesca. Completano i saggi il primo catalogo sistematico delle opere del pittore e una ricca appendice documentaria, che ci restituisce la parabola umana e artistica di un degno ed altrettanto curioso rappresentante del barocco internazionale.

Abstract

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was among the great artists of the Baroque period of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Considered one of the founders of modern painting, he is famous for creating a radically new kind of realistic art. He painted directly from life, without preparatory drawings, to establish a high realism in his work and a powerful and stark psychological expressiveness in his protagonists. His paintings defied conventions to such a degree that their meanings have divided critics and viewers for centuries, while inspiring generations of subsequent artists from Velazquez to Rembrandt. In this highly original study, Troy Thomas examines Caravaggio's life and art in relation to his most profound achievement: the creation of modernity. He explicitly focuses on the inherent tensions, contradictions and ambiguities in Caravaggio's art - key areas often ignored by other experts. Structured thematically and chronologically, the book begins with an in-depth look at Caravaggio's early life and works, which establish and refine his realism, his dark settings and his subtle and clever ambiguity of genre and meaning. It describes his mature religious works that eschew the theatrical stock poses and expressions of past art. Lastly, it delves into the artist's final hectic years as Caravaggio wandered from city to city in southern Italy, avoiding the papal police after a sword fight on the streets of Rome. Illustrated with sumptuous colour photographs, Caravaggio and the Creation of Modernity will appeal to all those fascinated by the history of art and the work of this great Renaissance artist.

Abstract

"Following Caravaggio's death in 1610, the French artist Valentin de Boulogne (1591-1632) emerged as one of the great champions of naturalist painting. The eminent art historian Roberto Longhi honored him as "the most energetic and passionate of Caravaggio's naturalist followers . . . With discussions of nearly fifty works, representing practically all of his painted oeuvre, Valentin de Boulogne: Beyond Caravaggio explores both the artist's superlative depictions of daily life and the tumultuous context in which they were produced . . . Rich with incident and insight, and beautifully illustrated with Valentin's complex, suggestive paintings, Valentin de Boulogne: Beyond Caravaggio reveals a seminal artist, a practitioner of realism in the seventeenth century who prefigured the naturalistic modernism of Gustave Courbet and Edouard Manet two centuries later." -- Book jacket.

Abstract

A very important part of Caravaggios production consists of pictorial narratives, mostly religious. Thus, according to early modern aesthetics, Caravaggio practiced the artistic genre of the istoria: the most discussed and thoroughly defined pictorial institution of his time. Unanimously, seventeenth-century artists and art theorists censored and condemned Caravaggios art for its numerous deficiencies and faults in regard to the principles of the istoria. In spite of all these testimonies, Caravaggios innovations in and misuses of the techniques specific to early modern pictorial narrative have never been systematically studied, debated, and put into historical perspective. In this volume, Lorenzo Pericolo argues that Caravaggios multiple experimentations with the traditional devices of the istoria not only represent the core of an unprecedented "poetics of dislocation," but also unsettled, dismantled, and expanded the scope of pictorial narrative in ways that would have redefined and deeply transformed the concept of painting and artistic creation, had Caravaggios enterprise not have been ferociously criticized and stigmatized as both aberrant and defective. To solidly establish the importance and groundbreaking charge of Caravaggios work, Pericolo examines the notion of Leon Battista Albertis istoria as interpreted and developed by early modern artists and theoristsfrom Leonardo to Vasari, from Lomazzo to Poussin, and from Michelangelo to Belloriin vast surveys in which the concepts of diachrony, duration, eurythmy, propriety, verisimilitude, and pictorial truth among othersare carefully examined on a theoretical and practical level. By analyzing the paintings of Caravaggios followers such as Cecco del Caravaggio, Battistello Caracciolo, Valentin de Boulogne and, not least, Diego Velázquez, Pericolo explores how Caravaggios innovations in the domain of pictorial narrative were variously construed, elaborated upon, and brought to fruition in the aftermath of the masters death in 1610, thereby offering a critical explanation of the implosion and extinction of the Caravaggesque movement in the 1630s. Among the flood of recent books devoted to Caravaggio, whose popularity now stands at the zenith, Lorenzo Pericolos profound and passionate study stands out for its sensitive and learned presentation of an argument that is both historically true and critically revealing to present-day sensibilities. Thoroughly at home in the vast literature devoted to Baroque art in general and to Caravaggio in particular, Pericolo also brings to his subject an unrivaled understanding of modern theoretical techniques on the one hand, and, on the other, an unrivaled mastery of seventeenth-century artistic theory, profoundly based in Aristotelian poetics and in rhetorical techniques. Through extended close readings of Caravaggios paintings, arranged in roughly chronological order, Pericolo brilliantly teases out the theoretical and practical choices that confronted Caravaggio, and that further determined reception of his work, both in the positive and negative senses, by highly sophisticated contemporary audiences. Beyond this, Pericolo is a remarkably sensitive guide to Caravaggios expression of profound, wrenching and often painful, emotions caught in eternal suspension, the sources of both his contemporaries discomfort and our own, modern, recognition and appreciation. Truly a distinguished achievement, this book is required reading for general readers as well as specialists in the history of art.
