Abstract

The Miserere attributed to the Italian composer Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652) is one of the most popular, often performed and recorded choral pieces of late Renaissance/early Baroque music. It was composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII in the 1630s, for the exclusive use of the Papal Choir in the Sistine Chapel during Holy Week, the last of thirteen surviving Misereres sung at the services of Tenebrae since 1514. When the young Mozart visited Rome, so the story goes, he transcribed it from memory, risking excommunication but helping posterity to reclaim the piece. Yet the Miserere known today bears little resemblance to Allegri's original or to its method of performance before 1900. This book is the first detailed account of this iconic work's performance history in the Sistine Chapel, in particular focussing on its heyday in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Rather than looking at the Miserere as a work on paper, the key to its genesis - as this book reveals - can only be found in a performance context. The book includes consideration both of the implications of that context in recreating it for performance, and of the history and practice of the "English Miserere" - the version commonly heard today. Appendices present key source transcriptions and two performance editions.

Abstract

Die Forschungsliteratur über Michelangelos Deckenfresken in der Sixtinischen Kapelle füllt inzwischen eine Bibliothek; vielfach auch sind diese berühmtesten Fresken der Welt im Zusammenhang mit den Wandbildern von Perugino, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio und Rosselli sowie mit Michelangelos späterem Jüngsten Gericht untersucht worden. Trotzdem besteht erstaunlicherweise über die Deutung der Bilder noch immer keine Einigkeit. In der Auseinandersetzung mit zum Teil gewagten Thesen der Forschung unternimmt Thomas Noll eine eindringliche Gesamtinterpretation des Bildprogramms der Sixtinischen Kapelle. Erstmals interpretiert er konsequent sämtliche Motive vor dem Hintergrundeiner langen Tradition der Bibelexegese, der Christologie und der Ekklesiologie sowie im Kontext jeweils der kirchengeschichtlichen Situation. Deutlich wird damit der Wahrnehmungshorizont der zeitgenössischen Betrachter. Daraus ergibt sich ein schlüssiges Verständnis der drei Ausmalungsetappen und von deren Gesamtzusammenhang. Die Bilder erweisen sich zuletzt als Manifestation des päpstlichen Selbstverständnisses und Herrschaftsanspruchs. Die bildliche Ausstattung der Kapelle im Ganzen wird verständlich als zielgerichtete kirchenpolitische Geschichtsmalerei.

Abstract

1936 stellte der Kunsthistoriker und Philosoph Edgar Wind sein Manuskript zu Michelangelos Deckenfresken der Sixtinischen Kapelle fertig. Wind begriff den christlichen Erlösungsgedanken als fundamentales Thema des gesamten Raumes und erkannte ein polares Beziehungsgeflecht, welches ihm das Bildprogramm vollständig erschloss. Methodische Ansätze Aby Warburgs aufnehmend, dessen Mitarbeiter Wind in Hamburg war, analysierte er die Themenwahl Michelangelos. Obwohl fertiggestellt, wurde das Werk nie veröffentlicht. Es liegt nun erstmals in gedruckter Fassung vor, begleitet von einem ausführlichen Nachwort des Herausgebers.

Abstract

In the "Anno Sanzio" 2020 the fifth centenary of Raphael's death occurs, and the Vatican Museums celebrate this anniversary in an exclusive way by means of this imposing two-volume, elegant boxed work. The long restoration of the tapestries, which has been going on for several years, required elaborate historical-artistic investigations and in-depth archival and scientific researches, carried out by art history and restoration specialists of the Vatican Museums, with the contributions of experts and scholars both from Italy and Europe. Enriched by many color photos, images for comparison, graphical reconstructions and a large series of replicas and copies inspired by Raphael series, the publication extensively examines the tapestries of the "Scuola Vecchia" which depict scenes from the New Testament and are traditionally divided into stories of Peter and stories of Paul.The first volume presents essays on the history of these fine textile artifacts, on the client, the execution technique, the scientific investigations and the restorations, as well as the regesto of the documents. The second volume, on the other hand, is a small box containing eleven booklets dedicated to each of the tapestries, with analytical and graphically enriched sheets aimed at restoring their original appearance, having also considered the relationship with Raphael's cartoons preserved at Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Six folding tables are also included, presenting different hypotheses for the arrangement of the tapestries in the Sistine Chapel.
