SECTION 2: Masterworks etc Listed Painter by Painter S-U

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

View of the Rhine, 1656 (Dulwich Picture Gallery)

R P salviati:

Visitation, fresco 1538 (S. Giovanni Decollato, Rome).   This made his reputation OxDicArt

Christ Carrying the Cross, c1545 (Uffizi).   This gives rise to the feeling of being manipulated because of the contradiction between compassion triggered by Christ’s evident suffering & the emotional distancing produced by its display of refined aesthetic beauty Hall1999 p230

Sala dell Udienza, frescos 1543-5.   Commissioned soon after Cosimo’s successful negotiations fror withdrawl of Spanish soldiers from Florentine territory etc & the subjects celebrate this & his earlier victories in scenes from Roman history, the Bible & classical mythology.   They include Furius Camillus hailed (Livy) as the second founder of Rome Hall1999 p225.   Italians complexity & ambition surpasses that of the fresco cycles of the Roman School OxCompArt

Three Fates, c1550 (Pitti).  [Menacing figures in pale colours against a dark background.]

Farnese Commemoration Frescos (Palace Farnese, Rome).   His chief late work; extreme Mannerism with mingled tapestry-like & realistic figures producing a piquant effect OxCompArt

Landscape with Salmacis and Hermaphroditus, c1608 (Museo di Capodimonte, Naples)

P sargent, john singer:

Carolus-Duran, 1879 (Sterling & Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, MA)

Madame X, 1883-4 (the Met).   S. obsessed with Madame Gautreau’s appearance, persuaded her to sit; caused scandal at 1884 Salon exhibition; “the best thing I have ever done” NGArtinP p258.   [Her shoulders & arms have a stunning fleshiness.   This is a picture which has more presence, more actualite, than she can have had in real life.  The picture contradicts the suggestion that Realism must be condemned as mere copying.]

An Out-of-Doors Study, 1889 (Brooklyn Museum)

Mrs Hugh Hammersley, 1892 (the Met)

Portrait of the Duke of Marlborough & His Family, 1905 (Blenheim Palace).   Painted in the studio; Duke instructed  Sargent that picture must recall Reynolds’ huge portrait of the family Balsan p146.   [The  weight of history indicated by by great hangings] (the French Royal Standard captured at Blenheim etc) [above the heads, especially that of the Duke.   He is depicted as a short figure enveloped in huge robes, without strong facial characterists, & looking like a traditional bank manager.   Consuelo, with her large neck & higher position, dominates.   They are separated by a streak of luminosity & the picture appears to be gently ironic.]

Sermon of S. John the Baptist, c1515 (Scalzo Florence).   Effective narrowing of S. John at knees; more convinvcing crowd than Ghirlandaio’s confusion (S. John the Baptist Preaching); every element designed to emphasise S. John, including background & foreground Wolfflin1899 pp 161, 3

Charity, 1518-19 (Louvre) 1001

P tintoretto, jacopo:

Miracle of St Mark Freeing the Slave, 1548 (Accademia).   Brilliant picture: space lacks reality because detached brush strokes prevent solid/sculptural figures & colour too bright for atmospheric perspective Steer p154.   An uneasy work of young artist straining to succeed.   It is the first Baroque picture, though at first sight conventionally stage-like with horizontal architectural background & framing left portico & right throne but almost all figures leaning/bending forward; strong diagonal through slave; only mother/baby (left), soldier (right) & executioner are detachable figures; only remaining element of old compositon linear composition with eye led across but not into picture is serpentine movement formed by legs of flying saint, executioner’s robes, slave’s body & legs of kneeling figure; though stroke of genius indicates picture is transitional Newton1952 pp 43-5

The Finding of the Body of St Mark, 1566 (Brera).   [It is a very dramatic proto-Baroque work but with Mannerist features such as the small headed left side figure of St Mark on the left side.   Drama is heightened through foreshortening, vertiginous perspective, chirascuro, emphatic gestures, & glowing colours against a dark background.]   Mark is trying to stop the tomb raiders on the right hand side Brera

The Collection of the Manna, 1590-2 (S. Girogio Maggiore, Venice).   Newton likens this to Beethoven’s Parstoral Symphony, it being a hymn of praise to the benevolence of nature & human contentment Newton1952 p205.   [I felt  overwhelmed not just because of by its size but mainly because of the amount of action that is taking place, not all of which is readily comprehensible, eg the women who appear to be washing clothes & sewing them.   Although it lacks focus, the chirascuro is beautiful with vibrant lighter sections despite the overall dark tonality.]

Last Supper, 1590-92 (S. Giorgio Maggiore, Venice).   [It is well organised along two diagonals with ordinary folk below the lower line who are unaware of the momentus events taking place above.  Nevertheless it is a dark & haunted picture with the angels & their beating wings on high.   Once again there are glowing colours despite the dark tonality.   Both pictures contain figures in the bottom right corner in extremely athletic poses reminiscent of Mannerism.]

Gypsy Madonna, c1512 (Kuntshistoriches).   According to Freedberg, “the optical illusion of existence is so powerfully intense that it transcends the existence it describes, & assumes the status of idea – of sheerly pictorial, aesthetic fact, more than it is the counterfeit of a fact of nature” Freedberg p94

Portrait of a Man, c1512 (NG) 1001

Sacred & Profane Love, 1514 (Borghese).   Is this its subject?   The  case against is that Titian was not versed in Neo-Platonism & it was an unprecedent subject in Venetain painting; not a didactic painting NGTitian pp 93-4.   On the other hand the painting was  probably for Nicolo Aurelio who knew Bembo & he could have devised iconography NGTitian pp 92, 94

Venus of Urbino, c1538 (Uffizi).   The nude is Angela Zaffetta,  Venice’s second highest paid courtesan, & friend/dining companion of Titian  & Arentino.   He praised her for not faking orgasms.   The picture was painted without a commission, which was unusual at that stage of Titian’s career, but he probably hoped that Cardinal Ippolito Medici, who had spent night with her would buy it Hale p339.   The background chests indicate rewards from prostitution Murray1967 p137.   Titian’simage is the warthly Venus Naturalis, whereas Giorgione’s similar Dresden Venus is Celestial Venus; & Giotgione’s Venus is sleeping unconsciously naked whereas Titian’s is awake & gazing invitingly.   The triangle between her breasts and her neck’s base is not sharp but almost equilateral Clark1956 pp 115-6; Other Comments: Mark Twain said (1880) that it was the foulest & most obscene picture ever painted; Crowe & Cavalcaselle (1877) described her as conscious & triumphant but not immodist Hale pp 340-1; for Berger this is a woman traditionally viewed Berger1972 p63; Reff sees an image of harmonious/faithful love because lapdog, roses & myrtle are symbols of marital fidelity Frantz p133; according to Wolfflin Titian’s Venus has articulated  beauty which  reflects his understanding of the body’s organic structure in contrst with Piero Di Cosmo’s Mars & Venus, which is a piecemeal rendering of imperfectly connected body parts Wolfflin1889 pp 264-5
