"This beauttifully produced volume brings together for the first time works by two remarkable painters of seventeenth-century Italy who happen also to have been father and daughter: Orazio and Artemisia Gentileschi. Famous in their own day these two artists have enjoyed renewed fame in the twentieth century: Orazio as one of the first and certainly the most individual of Caravaggio's followers; Artemisia as the outstanding female painter prior to the twentieth century. The tumultuous lives of these two artists moved along parallel trajectories and take the reader from the popular quarters of papal Rome and te rough-and-tumble world of Naples to the courts of the grand duke of Tuscany Marie de' Medici in Paris and Charles I in London. These changing circumstances nourished two different aesthetic visions both of which were deeply rooted in the Caravaggesque practice of painting directly from the posed model. While Orazio's art became ever more refined and elegant Artemisia espoused a rhetorical form of dramatic presentation that is the basis of Baroque painting." dj With essays and dozens of examples of the artists' work in the annotated and illustrated catalog.

Gardens and Ghettos: The Art of Jewish Life in Italy

1989réf. 168852Berkeley: University of California Press 1989. Softcover. VG- light wear and scuffing to wraps a bit of foxing on ffep. Glossy purple and color-illustrated wraps with red yellow and white lettering. xx 354 pp. BW and color illustrations. Catalog of an exhibition organized by the Jewish Museum New York held in New York Sept. 13 1989 to Jan. 1990. "Jews arrived in the Republic of Rome some time in the second or first century B.C.E. They soon formed their own community which absorbed Roman cultural forms but was able to maintain its identity and integrity. For more than twenty centuries the Italian peninsula has been home to the heirs of this ancient minority community whose culture is a blend of traditional Jewish content with Roman then Italian cultural forms. Gardens and Ghettos: The Art of Jewish Life in Italy is the title of an exhibition curated by Vivian B. Mann and Emily Braun for The Jewish Museum New York September 1989-January 1990 an exhibition that explores the extraordinarily rich artistic legacy of Italian Jewry. This book like the exhibition itself focuses on four time periods: the Empire the Era of the City States 1300-1550 the Era of the Ghettos 1550-1750 and the period since the Risorgimento. Artifacts and architecture are generously represented along with fine arts. Essays by prominent scholars introduce us to the historical and cultural context of a splendid array of works from ancient Roman architectural fragments and gold glass to illuminated manuscripts and printed books from the Renaissance baroque ceremonial textiles and silver and paintings graphics and sculpture of the modern era. The many illustrations illuminate the art and life of a minority community in dynamic tension with dominant society and show the vibrant ongoing contribution by Jews to the arts of Italy."
