La pergamena Colville di Marco Zoppo e un incontro veneziano col Filarete
No full textIl contributo si propone di indagare l'attività grafica di Marco Zoppo e i suoi legami con la cultura umanistica del tempo. L'autore si concentra in particolare sulla Pergamena Colville del British Museum, in cui si riversano molti spunti tratti dallo Zoppo nel corso del suo soggiorno a Padova e Venezia durante gli anni Cinquanta del Quattrocento. Il verso del foglio, in particolare, ritrae una scena evidentemente tratta da un episodio di San Giacomo dipinto da Mantegna della cappella Ovetari a Padova, ma inquadrata da un arco che sembra elaborare il modello molto diffuso a Venezia dell'Arco romano dei Sergi a Pola. Nell'articolo si propone altresì una data certa per lo Zoppo e un suo possibile incontro veneziano con Antonio Averlino, detto Filarete
Il problema della pala Gattamelata e gli esordi di Giovanni Bellini
No full textIn 1985 Colin Eisler brought together a series of panels painted in the Bellini workshop, known to have once been a sin- gle ensemble, which he suggested formed part of the celebrated altarpiece produced in 1459-1460 by Jacopo, Gentile and Giovan- ni Bellini for the Gattamelata chapel in the Basilica del Santo in Padua. Though problematic, the hypothesis has found widespread agreement, generating an inevitable shift in the early chronology of Jacopo’s sons. The article seeks to highlight the difficulties, first and foremost stylistic, in Eisler’s proposal. The author believes that Eisler’s reconstruction of the Santo provenance can be ruled out, instead hypothesizing that the work may be associated with the high altar of the church of San Giobbe in Venice
Francesco Arcangeli e il Bastianino: due "sognatori di Padania"
No full textThe article proposes a rereading of Francesco Arcangeli’s monograph on Bastianino, published in 1963 for an historic series sponsored by the Cassa di Risparmio di Ferrara. A partial misunderstanding of Arcangeli’s text unintentionally led to poorly grounded scholarship and historiography, and in particular an attempt to extend Tasso’s definition of parlar disgiunto (disjointed speech, or style) to a distinctly heterogeneous group of painters active in the second half of the sixteenth century. The author aims for a detailed analysis of the book on Bastianino, not only with a focus on its substantial points but also associating it with the key elements of Arcangeli’s thought and other texts of his, especially the monograph on Ennio Morlotti, published in 1962 by Edizioni del Milione, and the article Lo spazio romantico in the journal Paragone in 1972
Intorno a un polittico di Tommaso Garelli: qualche precisazione e una nuova aggiunta
No full textThe article presents a Conversion of Saint Paul which recently appeared on the art market erroneously ascribed to the circle of Bia- gio di Antonio, but which should instead be attributed to Tommaso di Alberto Garelli. A secondary figure in Renaissance art of the Val- padana, Garelli nonetheless deserves praise for his early adherence to the new dictates of Donatello and antiquarian culture (precisely as in the painting published here), which had been introduced to Bologna by Marco Zoppo. This small panel must have formed part of the predella
of a polyptych painted by the Bolognese artist after the one executed by Zoppo for the church of San Clemente in the Collegio di Spagna. The two masters were both involved on the project to decorate the chapel of Saint Bridget in San Petronio, where a planned cycle of frescoes was as- signed to Garelli and Giovanni Francesco da Rimini. An unpublished fragment discovered during recent conservation of the chapel may now be attributed to the latter, and certainly relates to the initial stage of the decoration, which was never completed
A proposito di un nuovo libro su Giovanni Bellini
Full text linkIl saggio ripercorre le ragioni critiche e storiografiche che hanno condotto gli studi sulla giovinezza di Bellini verso un apparente vicolo cieco e al prevalere di una posizione molto discutibile circa i suoi inizi. Recenti scoperte e puntualizzazioni, di cui si rende brevemente conto, hanno però indicato la possibilità di battere altre strade e di ripensare nuovamente gli esordi del più grande maestro veneziano del Quattrocento. La seconda parte dell'articolo si presenta invece come una vera e propria recensione, molto puntuale e analitica, di un recente libro di Daniel Wallace Maze dedicato ai primi tempi di Bellini, basato su una lettura distorsiva di alcuni dati archivistici già ampiamente noti, ma soprattutto su un grave fraintendimento dei valori stilistici e qualitativi di Giovanni Bellini

Nuove ricerche sulla pala di Pesaro di Marco Zoppo
No full textThe focus of this essay is on the vicissitudes of the Pesaro altarpiece by Marco Zoppo, of which the main panel is in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. The grand work, executed in 1471, was made for the high altar of the church of the Observant Franciscans, and was almost certainly commissioned by Alessandro Sforza, Lord of Pesaro. During the 1500s, however, the painting was moved to the Observants’ new church, financed by Duke Guidobaldo II della Rovere to replace the earlier, destroyed building. Zoppo’s altarpiece remained in the new church until the early 1800s, when it was dismembered and dispersed. Substantial objections are made here to the hypothetical reconstruction of the work by Lilian Armstrong (1976), subsequently reformulated by Peter Humfrey (1993), with special reference to panels which may have formed part of the predella, but which appear to have little relation to the Pesaro altarpiece. As regards one of these, the celebrated Severed Head of John the Baptist in the Museo Civico, Pesaro, the attribution to Giovanni Bellini is once again put forward

La fortuna critica dell'Aurora, capolavoro “romantico” del Guercino a Roma
No full textThe essay traces critical fortune of the murals painted by Guercino in the Casino of the Villa Ludovisi in Rome. Starting from the considerations on painting by Giulio Mancini, all the main sources were reviewed, but also the guides of the city of Rome. Particular attention is then paid to the passages of the twentieth-century scholars who contributed to relaunch the figure of Guercino also in modern studies
