SECTION 2: Masterworks etc Listed Painter by Painter J-L

Priority has been given to oils, frescos & watercolours.   However works in other media were included where they were particularly significant.   Watercolours were sometimes ignored where lists would have otherwise been excessively long & the artist was not a specialist in this type of painting.   Works in private collections were ignored unless they were especially important.   However stately homes were regarded as being in the public domain.    NB all towns where no country is mentioned are in Europe

Charles Lebrun, 1686 (Louvre).

The Echevins of the City of Paris before S. Genevieve, 1696 (S. Etienne-du-Mont, Paris?).   Here we have ostentatious, court-dependant bourgeoisie, preoccupied with their own importance & not looking at the Saint.   This contrasts with the severe & dignified city fathers in Champaigne’s Echevis of the City of Paris.    The Baroque rhetoric with Flemish colouring looks back to Baroccio & forward to Tiepolo Blunt1954 p279, Allen pp 210-11

Sarah Siddons, 1804 (Tate).  [Most effective with Sarah shown as an imposing figure.   She is larger than life & close to the picuture frame: not shrimpy but challenging with a direct look & painted with a limited palette of black & red.   She was 49]

Frances Hawkins & Her Son, John James Hamilton/A Family Group, 1805-6 (Abercorn Heirlooms Settlement Trustees).   The painting was exhibited at the RA in 1806.   She was widely known to be the mistress of the Marquess of Abercorn & the boy his son, a fact he never denied.   The sensual display of textures is remarkable.   The Maraquess was Lawrence’s friend & patron.   Lawrence also painted some of his other illegitimate children, all in oval formats Solkin2015 p303, Levey2005 pp 55, 161, 166.

February Fill Dyke, 1881 (Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery).    According to Clark the colouring is false & degraded & it does not have that unity of atmosphere which is unity of atmosphere which is the essence of true naturalism.   Indeed the painting completely lacks unity: Nature has been described piece by piece.   Although a reputable procedure in itself it was an impssoble one in a landscape meant to render the truth of visual impression Clark1949 p170.   [This judgement seems to display anti-Victorian bias] & the painting has more recently been considered an atmospheric evocation of a clear November evening after rain & a fine example of Victorian landscape painting Grove 18 p903

Angel on left in Verrocchio’s Baptism of Christ, c1472 (Uffizi).   V’s angel is naturalistic & conventional with broad bony face, short nose & wavy hair; L’s is an ideal of perfection with its cascade of rippling hair Clark 1939 p50

Annunciation, 1472-3 (Uffizi).   Awkward composition, especially lecturn; Madrid’s features not part of faces’s structure but drawn on; poetic black trees silhouetted against grey sky; foreground flowers have natural liveliness in contrast to 15thcentury flower decoration Clark 1939 pp 52-7.   Wings & Madrid’s draperies based on life study &/ or drawings: an innovation in 15th century Murrays1963 p230

Ginevera de’ Benci, 1474 (NG Arts).   Head more firmly modelled but through delicate graduations of tone; in places, eg eyelids, L never painted more delicately; its melancholy beauty beyond Verrocchio & Credi; L contrasts curved right cheek & brow with the spikey/stiff  juniper Clarke 1939 pp 57, 59

Madonna & Child, c1476 (Alte Pinothek, Munich).   Most of L’s qualities absent from this “charmless” but vital picture, though poor condition makes judgement difficult Clark 1939 pp 59, 62

Benois Madrid, 1478-80 (Hermitage)

Adoration of the Kings, 1481-2 (Uffizi).   Solves problem of numerous figures round central group through pyramidal composition, which both creates depth & through linear pattern focuses on the important= “watershed of Renaissance art” Murrays1963 p232   Restless/agitalinated figures around central triangle; four verticals, the two rightish trees & two upright base figures, to stabilise design; symbolises homage of wisdom & science to faith plus flanking/disengaged figures Clark1939 p76.   Anticipates  all L’s figures, eg Joseph to Mary’s left has emphatic grimace of S. Andrew in Last Supper Clark1939 p78.   Verdict: “most revolutionary & anti-classical picture of 15th century” Clark1939 p80.

V of the Rocks, 1482-3 (Louvre).   Innovation: design using equilateral triangle Wolfflin1899 p28.   Colour/values obscured by thick yellow varnish/bitumen, yet evident that it was once luminous with subtle reflected light Clark 1939 pp 94, 96.    Perfect balance between natural & ideal/gothic beauty; hands & hair exquisitely observed, eg how skin is stretched taught or relaxed into tucks/dimples Clarke 1939 p94.   Comparison with NG version: elimination of angel’s ouward gaz&pointing hand reduces magic; delicate beauty of Madrid’s face replaced by waxen chiaroscuro, freshness of angel’s face V Classical regularity Clarke 1939 p93.   Inonography: Mary the Immaculate is interceding for man=St John with Christ, who is giving St John a blessing NGLeonardo Commentary.

St Jerome, c1483 (Vatican)

Portrait of a Musician, c1486-7 (Milan, Ambrothersiana).   Note delicat&naturalistic play of light across face; well preserved Clark 1939 p101

Portrait of Cecilia Gallerani, 1489-90 (Cracow).    Left side of figure repainted; new background which has sharpened original outline; neveetrtheless shoulder shows L’s sense of form; beautiful simplification of eyes & nose; splendidly painted & modelled beast Clark 1939 pp 98, 100

Virgin & child/Madrid Litta, c1490? (Hermitage).   Totally repainted twice: 1495 & 19th century Clarke1939 p90.   [Very beautiful but somehow unsatisfying : too perfect & precise even in its modulations.   Seems clear from at least one preparatorydrawing that Boltraffio was partly responsible for finished picture.   Like an early immature Raphael.]

La Belle Ferronniere, 1493-4 (Louvre).   Shows L’s preoccupation with light falling on a figure, which was a pose he commended NGLeonardo Commentary.   Uninteresting relationship between head & shoulders, way head turned to light restrics its plastic possibilities; face displays L’s extraordinary knowledge of structure; this is a court portrait Clark 1939 p105

The Last Supper, 1495-98 (Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan)

Ambrogio da Predis? c1495-1500 (Milan, Ambrothersiana)

Last Supper, 1497 (Milan, Sta Maria delle Grazie).   Notable features/innovations: Christ central, framed & still/silent; disciples grouped, tranquil at table ends but then increasingly active; Judas now included with other disciples but face entirely shadowed Wolfflin1899 pp 25-9; every figure has consistent role Buck/H p45

Virgin & S. Ann&Burlington House Cartoon, 1499 (NG).   [The Virgin is a real woman with tender feelings & not a cold demi-god.   The way the V is sitting on S. Anne’s lap is also very human: Gods do not sit on laps.]

?Madonna & Child with a Yarn Winder, c1501 (Duke of Buccleuch).   [This has L’s magic due to the marvellous transitions from light to shadow.]

Mona Lisa, 1503 (Louvre).   Dreamlike background increases her solidity Wolfflin1899 p32

Leda & the Swan, c1505 (copies Borghese & WiltonH = Cesare da Sesto).   Symbolises the fertile female Clarke 1956pp118-9; realisation/depiction of skin’s soft texture & new artistic significance of female body Wolfflin1899 p37

Angel of the Annunciation, 1505-7 (copy, Basel)

Virgin of the Rocks, largely 1506-8 (NG).   Figures more idealised with Christ more serious & dawning inspiration Clarke 1939 p201.   Much of surface damaged/repainted/work of pupils, but angel’s Classical beautiful head must be Leonardo Clarke 1939 p204.   The flowers are ideal, not real flowers, & are a key to this idealised work NGLeonardo Commentary

Beata Umlita Altarpiece, c.1341 (Uffizi, Florence, Italy) 1001

Virgin & Child, 1319 (Museo Diocesano, Florence)

Madonna del Latte c1325 (Seminary, Siena).   Here the angularities of the frame are set against the rhythmic interaction of curves ranging from the slow modulations of the Virgin’s head-dress to the liquid sinuosities of the Infant’s robe White p373

Townscape, c1325 (Pinacoteca, Siena).   Observe the nude in the bottom right corner White p396

Landscape, c1325 (Pinacoteca, Siena).   This is the earliest surviving pure landscape since Antiquity White p396

Maesta, c1335-7 (Pinacoteca, Massima Maritittima)

Allegory of Good Government, 1338-9 (Palazzo Pubblio, Siena).   The planar continuity of the country section,  from the right foreground to the distant hills, was not repeated for around a century.   The hills sit naturally in the landscape.   There is no Byzantine Stylised surface–climbing here.   Note the road that snakes into the hills White p396

Allegory of Tyrany, fresco 1338-9 (Palazzo Pubblio, Siena)

Badly Governed Town, damaged fresco, 1338-9 (Palazzo Pubblio, Siena).   In contrast to good government no window-line or balcony runs on from building to building, there are incessant changes in tone & colour.   There is no easy flow of movement in the figures; isolated warring groups are in disharmony with their architectural surroundings.   Here Lorenzetti has subverted each of the canons of harmonious design established opposite.   The picture demonstates that form & content are inseparable White pp 396-7

{2}lorenzetti, piero:

Virgin & Child, 1319 (Museo Diocesano, Florence)

Virgin & Child with Saints, polyptch, 1320 (Pieve di Sta Maria, Arezzo).   This has a similar format to Martini’s 1310 altarpiece but the figures are very different.   They are more solid, appear larger; the broad-faced Virgin looks intently at the Child which she supports with a tense hand.   Martini’s figures are expressionless whereas Pietro’s have a brooding seriousness Martindale pp 212-3

Scenes from the Life of Christ (Lower church, S. Francesco, Assisi).    Many painters were involved, sometimes on the same figure White p376     They show a delight in descriptive detail characteristic of the period Martindale p214.   Pietro’s masterpieces are his four frescos on the end wall of the south transept; the high point of which is the Deposition White p377

Deposition, fresco, 1320s?    Without any sense of compromise, this combines mass, simplicity, linear clarity, the momentary & eternal, the human & the visionary.    There is a downward progress from stark horror to tender numbing sorrow wirh its innumereable interpenetrating curves.   The composition is held together by the figure of Christ with its dramatic, bold distortions White pp 377-8     

Last Supper, fresco).   Note the genre element:  servants washing up before the fire & the dog licking a plate Gove12 p287.   It is claimed that this picture, though a small masterpiece, is not by Pietro himself because it is unselective Martindale p216 

Crucifixion. fresco, c1330 (Lower church, S. Francesco, Assisi).   Here, in contrast to the restrained Deposition, detail tends to run riot with jostling horsemen & all manner of different costumes, faces & types of response.   The still isolation of the crosses provides contrast & impact Martindale pp 215-6.   This work betrays massive workshop intervention White p379
