SECTION 2: Masterworks etc Listed Painter by Painter P-R

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

parmigianino:

Marriage of S. Catherine (Borghese) Shearman pp 64-5

         Madonna & Child with Saints John the Baptist & Jerome, 1527 (NG).    Evident impact of High Renaissance, eg Raphael’s Madrid di Foligno but unprecedented verticality; absence of Corregio’s weaving figures, sfumato & female softnes; here fewer figures, sharper contours, Madrid’s monumentality/elongation Friedlaender1925 pp 35-6, Andrews1966p7

Madrid of the Rose, 1529-30 (Gemaldegalerie, Dresden).   Virgin eroticised with se-through dress revealing nipples Hall1999 p118     

Amor, 1534 (Kunsthistorisches).   This is unashamedly sensual Andrews1966  p4  

Madonn dal Collo Longo/Madronna of the Long Neck, 1534-40 (Uffizi).   More than 27 drawings survive & quest for perfection lasted years, despite contract requirement for 5 months timescale; angel with amphora bearing (now faded cross) hence Madrid sees Christ’s looming death Hall1999 p114; excessive lengthening of figure & acutely distorted space acutely empahsised for 1st time; Madrid elegant/graceful/aristocratic contrasting with Rosso’s excitment Friedlander1925 p38; vaselike shapes & vase; picture almost unreal but a wholly sincere supernaturalism with gravity seemingly suspended Andrews1966 pp 4, 6

Portait of a Lady called Anthea, 1536 (Capodimonte) Pope-H pp 207-8

Madonna & Child with Saints Stephen & John the Baptist & a Donor, 1540 (Dresden).   New gravity & spirituality Andrews1966 pp 6, 8.

Venus & Mars, engraving by Vico, 1543 (BM).   [It is an early example of humerous erotica in which Vulcan is too busy to notice that he is being cuckolded & Mars is wearing a helmet.]

         Madonna & Child with S. (S. Giacomo Maggiore, Bologna)

         The Presentation of the Virgin, 1583-4  (Pinacoteca Nazionale, Bologna).   A near perfect example of the Mannerism criticised at the Counter-Reformation.   The Virgin is pushed into the background with Passerotti’s interest being the complications of the pit & the posturing foreground figures Posner1971 p37

         S. Francis at Prayer (Pinocoteca Nazionale. Bologna)

 

passerotti, gasspari:

 

passarotti, tiburzio:

         Martyrdom of S. Catherine, 1577 (Sangiacomo Maggiore Church, Bologna).   [The Mannerism is so extreme that it is difficult to tell what the figures are doing.   The colours are vibrant & glowing with, bright blues, yellows, reds.]

St Jerome in a Landscape (Prado)

Charon Crossing the River Styx, c1523 (Prado).   This, like another of his paintings, depicts the crossroads between good & evil with the human soul represented by the tiny nude in Charon’s boat.   The choice is between a narrow river between rocky banks or a broad river between lushly planted banks leading to hell.   Despite the warning angel the mortal is gazing at the easy path Grove24 p261

P perugino:

Pieta, 1464-95 (Uffizi, Florence)

Christ Giving the Keys to St Peter, commissioned 1481(Sistine, Vatican).   Outstanding clarity; important role of buildings in composition; background church central as well asw symbolic; attention is focused on the single event by the paving , alternation of light & dark masses,subjectsidiary figures/groups; triumphal arches Murrays1963 p252

Francesco dell’ Opera (Uffisi).    Cautious use of facial shadows Wolfflin1899 p262.  

Lamentation over Christ (Pitti).     This is static; all figures same intensity of expression.   Contrast this painting with Raphael’s Entombment Wolfflin1899 pp 79-80.   [There are High Renaissance features here: strong composition on a central vertical; glowing colour; fairly heavy clothing; & an important landscape background.]  ????

         Dead Christ (NG Umbria)

         Madonna of Consolation (NG Umbria)

         Fresco in Audience Chamber, 1500 (Perugia, Collegio del Cambio)

Demoselles d’Avignon, 1907 (MoMA) Antliff/Leighton pp 32, 34.    The African masks on the right side were assumed by Picasso to provide protection against dangerous spirits & sexual disease  MOMAH p64.   [The picture’s message is confusing.   The two central women are in a pleasant warm pink but on the left there is a  cold blue.   How is one supposed to know that the ugly masked figures are prostitutes one is unless told?]

         The Battle of Waterloo, 1818-24 (Rijksmuseum).   One of the greatest pictorial undertakings of the 19th century.   Pineman spent almost two years on portrait studies of Wellington & his staff.   However, the picture is little more than a formal group portrait &  lcks any visual emotion Fuchs p151

         Night Station

pollock:

The Flame, 1937 (Private).   Recognisable content but this is  subordinated to his fascination with paint, tonal contrasts & dramatic treatment Everitt p16

The She-Wolf, 1943 (MoMA).   According to Pollock “Any attempt on my part to…attempt explanation of the inexplicable could only destroy it” MOMAH p191

Mural,1944 (Uillinois).    Proto-allover painting Greenberg p218

No 28, 1950 (the Met).   [Not gloomy or disconcerting.   It seems to pulsate with the black ribbing, which was superimposed, coming forward.]

One (Number 31, 1950), 1950 (MoMA).  Pulses with energy; suggestion of forc&speed yet delicacy/lyricism MOMAH p194; Greenberg as for Lavender Mist.    [This has zero emotional impact, but seems to vibrate & shimmer due, presumably, to the optical disorientation resulting from so many lines.]

Christ before Pilate & 4 other Passion frescos, D, 1523-4 (Galluzo, Florence).   Debt to Durer; pathos+elegant form/colour L&L; breakthrough to new style: absence of Renaissance grace, fragil&delicate Christ dressed in light violet surrounded by schematic men posed in ureal space Friedlaender1925 pp 23-4, 27

Deposition , c1525 (S. Felicita, Florence).   Perhaps supreme masterpiece; crucial in development of Mannerism; lightness & brightness probably due to surrounding dark Murrays1959.   [There is a Mannerist instability of movement but it is not disturbing.   The colours are bright & light colours: mostly pinks, whites, yellows with only a little green & none dull.   There is no chirascuro & a  minimum of sadness.   The picture is almost Rococo.]

Cruxifiction, 1503 (NG).   Peruginoesque absence of agony, borrowed figures BuckH pp 6, 11.  

Adoration of the Magi, 1504 (Vatican).   First grouping of figures in semi-circle around central figure BuckH pp 12, 15.  

Marriage of the Virgin/Sposalizio, 1504 (Brera).   Figures grouped in semi-circle around central figures.   Involved spectators, unlike Perugino.   Greater perspective BuckH p15.

Madrid del Granduca, 1505 (Pitti).   Bartolommeo’s influence: heavy garments/monumentality BuckH p28  

S. Michael, 1504 (Louvre).   Background sets mood BuckH p17.  

Portraits of Agnolo & Maddalena Donni, 1506 (Pitti).   His face partly shadowed=sharp features; her face evenly lit=softness; direct V less direct eyes; his arm holds viewer back.   Maddalena was probably influenced by the Mona Lisa BuckH pp 26, 28

S. George & the Dragon, 1506 (NG Art).   Background influenced by Memling’s S. John Baptist (Munich) BuckH p20.

Madonna of the Meadow, 1505-6 (Kunsthistorisches).   Leonardain triangle but too conspicuous foot at right; figures still two dimensional BuckH p29.

Madrid of the Goldfinch, 1506 (Uffizi).   Leonardain influence BuckH pp 30-1.

Entombment, 1507 (Borghese).   This has movement, animation & contrasting emotions.   It was influenced by Leonardo & Michelangelo.   The picture is weakened by the tangle of legs & it is unclear what the second old man is doing, picture falls apart.   Compare with Perugino’s Lamentation Wolfflin1899 pp 79, 81-2.  

La Belle Jardiniere, 1507-8 (Louvre).   Leonardo’s sfumato & aerial perspective BuckH p32.  

S. Catherine, 1508 (NG).   Three dimensioanal figura serpentinata BuckH p36.  

School of Athens, 1510-11 (Vatican Museums and Galleries, Vatican City) 1001

Portrait of a Cardinal, c1511 (Prado).   Strikingly modelled right eye, challenging gaze; nasty Cardinal Alidosi? BuckH pp 64-5.  

Portrait of Tomasso Ingirami, c1511 (Pitti).    Clever pose that avoids showing his squint BuckH p67.   

Madonna di Foligno, 1511 (Vatican).   Baroque motifs: S. Francis’ beatific expression, etc BuckH p77.          

MIraculous Draught of Fishes Wolfflin1915 pp 74, 79-80

Triumph of Galatea, 1511 (Farnesina).    [At first sight this might be mistaken for a Baroque work but it has great regularity with a spoke shaped design & Galatea’s eyes in the very centre of the picture.   Moreover she imparts strong vertical thrust.]

Camera della Segnatura, 1508-11(Vatican).   Fortunate that Raphael’s first commissions were not dramatic subjects but calm gatherings where he could extrapolate his Madrid skills of balance & harmonious outline Wolfflin1899 p87; these frescoes are not about history, psychological relationships, or even facial expression but about the beautiful disposition of figures in space; their appreciation requires “visual sensuality” Wolfflin1899 pp 87-8; Raphael borrowed the graceful movement of Leonardo’s Adoration for his  Disputa & School of Athens but he ignored the revolutionary & anti-classical aspects Clark1939 p80

Disputa.   Inaccurate Vasari title: no dispute; young men pressing forward (& expressive figure on altar steps) on left to balance calm churchmen (& Pope Sixtus) on right Wolfflin1889 p89; heads & figures could be more convincing but fresco’s strength unprecedended size, depth, varied attitudes, composition; Raphael’s problem in handling important Doctors of Church solved by backgrounding them but staging them above steps, which link figures together & lead up to centre; flow of movement on left -pointing, praying & expressive figure- dies away on right with dictating turning Augustine as connecting link Wolfflin1899 pp 90-1; front figures more complex with bending corner ones most complex & linked to centre by pointing figures; symmetary the ruling principle but more or less concealed; clear & separate Peruginesque figures instead of a welter as in Boticello or Philippino; pointing youth on right unfortunate Leonardesque figure Wolfflin1899 p92.   [Subtle difference in colour between more vibrant heaven & duller earth?   Nevertheless Raphael was more interested in earth than heaven with whole of bottom section, despite Wolfflin, in flickering movement.]

School of Athens. Note: individual groups & figures replace the central tendency of the Disputa; more telling & inventive jestures, figures &, above all, groupings, eg man watching sketching boy top rightish, Diogenese lying on steps which is a new posture, the interesting bottom left group around Pythogras which is a garland of complimentary curves with young man in white providing necessary vertical, the geometers at bottom right with 5 figures directed to a single point but with widely differing attitudes, the way in which foreground lines curve & interlace whereas at the back of the platform there is a forest of verticals, the extraordinary way in which Plato & Aristotle, though in the rear, dominate the picture because of their halo of arches Wolfflin1899 pp 93-6.   Four central steps=those pupils must climb to conduct philosophical discussions; Socrates (counting them) centre right, Plato to left; man leaning on cornerstone (late addition)=Church/Christ; non-static crowd; archways framing Plato/Socrates impart forward movement BuckH pp 56, 59.   [Despite Wolfflin there is an approximate semi-circle of movement from bottom left up to Plato & Aristotle & then down again.] 

Parnasus.   [This is a  much more conventional composition.   The grouping is more obvious & there is little depth.]

Jurisprudence

Camera d’Eliodoro, 1511-14 (Vatican).   Academy new grandiose painterly style: large figures, sharp contrasts, emotion, expressive action, powerful masses instead of subtle figure groupings Wolfflin1899 p101.   MIraculous interventions that symbolically parallel events in Julius’ career L&L.

Expulsion of Heliodorus, c1512 .   Note innovative way in which main action occurs at right leaving centre empty; that this a moment of suspence before Heliodorus is trampled & scourged; that Heliodorus is not a Quatrocentro vulgar scoundrel Wolfflin1899 pp 101-3.    Rich axial contrast in figures; dark background & strong highlights in contrast to earlier DisputaWolfflin1899 pp 273, 278.    Successive events (prayer of High Priest & expulsion) in same picture BuckH p69.

The Mass of Bolsena, 1512-14 (Vatican Museums and Galleries, Vatican)

The Freeing of S. Peter, 1514.   Note simplicity of rescue of sleeping=piously resigned Peter in contrast to Domenichono’s later picture of horrified awakening; the innovative creation of half light & of Peter, instead of talking to the angel, leaves as if in dream Wolfflin1899 pp 104-5.    Successive events in same picture BuckH p74.   [Peter’s praying hands & the left pointing soldier link up composition.]

Isiah, 1512 F (S. Agostino, Rome).   [Quite Michangeleaque with thrusting leg & right arm across body.]

Cartoons, tapestry, 1515 (V&A).   General comment: never before had Raphael conveyed narrative with such clarity & concentration with elimination of nonessential, including graceful serpentine coil & elegant contrapposto; contrast with Galatea’s embellishment; severe rectangularity domainated by verticals & horizontals Hall1999 pp 39-40     

Death of Ananias, 1515, tapestry cartoon (V&A).   Stark chirascuro & sharply distinguished figures; by perverting contraposto’s conventional association with grace & goodness Rome (Galatea) emphaises Ananias’guilt Hall1999 p40        

Portrait of Baldassare Castletiglionne, c1516 (Louvre).   Disappearence of harsh colour contrasts; play of light on fabrics.   Cropped hands to bring sitter closer BuckH pp 93, 6

La Donna Velata (Pitti) c1516.    Disappearence of harsh colour contrasts; play of light on fabrics; cropped hand to bring sitter closer BuckH pp 93, 6; [unqiet draperies (love-making?) contrast with calm (post-coital?) face; hand’s suggestive position ; Leonardo-like sfumato with face in half shadow adding interest & fascination, unlike earlier paintings of woman.]  

Double Portrait of Andrea Navagero & Agostino Beazzano, 1516 (Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, Rome).  Interrupted conversation between friends BuckH p98    

Boy Baptist in the Desert, 1517 (Uffizi).   Assistants using Rome’s design BuckH p89.

Double Portrait, 1519 (Louvre).   Eloquent jesture BuckH p98   

Transfiguration , 1520 (Vatican).   Commissioned to paint Christ as human (healing of lunatic boy) & divine (transfiguration) BuckH p111.   Christ’s outstretched arms not original but his floating movement & ecstatic expression are.   Note the way in which Moses & Elias are swept up by Christ & also smaller earthbound disciples Wolfflin1899 pp 136-7

ricci, marco:

 

ricci, sebastiano:

Legends of St Martial, before, three oval ceiling canvases, 1702 (S. Marziale, Venice).    A fresh & luminous decorative style influenced by both Veronese & Bolognese classicism.   The cloud-borne figures draw the spectator upwards into an airy space; he uses paler & more transparent colours; & the figures have a new elegance & delicacy,   Here Ricci definitely breaks with late Baroque, though the figures are still vigourous Grove26 pp 320-1

rosso:

Assumption of the Virgin, c1516 (Florence, SS Annunziata).   Earliest work; impetuous colouring with strong reds, yellows & greens almost without transition; breaks the rules by encroachment on the frame Friedlaender1925 p29

Sacra Conversazione, 1518 (Uffizi).   Influenced by Donatello L&L 

Deposition from the Cross, 1521 (Pinacoteca, Volterra).   This marks Rosso’s decisive step from the balanced & classical to the spiritual & subjective.    The work is no longer Sarto but wilder with a combination of verticality & swaying through its, high narrow format & rhythmically twining figures.   St John, at bottom right, is elongated & there is a lack of reality with figures that stand in front of space & in sharp light & shining colours.   They have long outstreatched limbs & bodies that meet at sharp angles.   The suppression of the usual produces a feeling of spirituality & soulfulness Friedlaender1925 pp 30-1.   It was influenced by Durer’s prints L&L   

Moses Defending Daughters of Jethro, 1523 (Uffizi).   Moses is the central figure with brutally projected jestures, strong but unreal colours, absence of perspective.   However there is space & depth because the figures are set behind or above each other with light, colour & tone used to achieve born&ing; a feeling of verticalism depite figures not being elongated.   It is a picture without a precedent  Friedlaender1925 pp 32-3
