Portrait of Francisco Lezcano

Prompt: In Portrait of Francisco Lezcano, how is the abstract discussed?

Portrait of Francisco Lezcano or The "Niño de Vallecas" is the 1645 portrait by Diego Velázquez of Francisco Lezcano (died 1649), also known as Lezcanillo or el Vizcaíno, a jester at the court of Philip IV of Spain. It has been in the Prado since 1819.The mountains round Madrid can be seen in the right background, whilst the subject holds cards in his hands. The painting is part of a series of paintings of jesters at the court, and this one was possibly painted whilst the subject was accompanying the king on a hunt, since he is shown in hunting attire in the open air. It was produced for display in the Torre de la Parada (a hunting lodge on the outskirts of Madrid in the Sierra de Guadarrama near El Pardo).On 28 July 1714 it was moved to the Palacio del Pardo, before appearing in 1772 at the home of infante Javier in the new Palacio Real in Madrid. In 1794 it was in the "Pieza de Trucos" of the same palace, at which time it gained its alternative name of Niño de Vallecas.

Joaquina Téllez-Girón, Marquise of Santa Cruz


Prompt: Focus on Portrait of the Marchioness of Santa Cruz and explain the Description.

It shows Joaquina Téllez-Girón, Marquise of Santa Cruz clad in a very light white dress, lying sideways on a red divan. Her head is decorated with yellow flowers; her left hand is balancing a lyre-guitar. Her gaze does not directly fix on the viewer but seems to look distant. Her body does not seem to sit in a natural position, but seemingly floats on the red divan and the pillows. The theme seems almost allegorical, a reference to the ancient Greek theatre. The composition of the work is similar to Antonio Canova's sculpture of Paolina Borghese as Venus Victrix. The portrait is also similar to Diego Velázquez and, to an extent, to Titian's depictions of Venus. The flowers on her head are a reference to Bacchus, while the lyre-guitar with its resemblance to the ancient lyre is a homage to art and Apollo.This painting inspired one pastiche or fantasy portrait depicted in the comedy film Mortdecai (2015), starring Johnny Depp and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Madonna della Scodella

Prompt: Focus on Madonna della Scodella and explain the History.

The panel painting was made by Correggio for the San Sepolcro, Parma. It was probably commissioned in 1524, when Cristoforo Bondini, dying, left in his will 15 lire for the creation of a painting for the altar of Saint Joseph.: vol.2, p.198  There are two known preparatory drawings for the painting. The result was completed in 1530, as is revealed in the inscription on the original frame:DIVO IOSEPPO DEIPARAE VIRGINIS CUSTODI / FIDISS COELITUSQ DESTINATO HVIVSCE / ARAE COMUNI AERE ERECTORES DEVOTI / ALACRESQ EREXERE / DIE II IVNIIGiorgio Vasari cited the work as "panel of divine painting" in the second edition of his Lives while speaking of Girolamo da Carpi, who he believed had studied in San Sepolcro. The painting remained there until 1796, when it was requisitioned by the Napoleonic government and taken to Paris. It was repatriated in 1815, after the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, and was placed in the following year in the Ducal Gallery. In 1893, at the proposal of art critic Corrado Ricci, it was reinserted into its original frame.For dating the painting, the commonly agreed range is 1528–1530. Art historian Cecil Gould believed that the angels at the highest part of the canvas were made in those years and that the lower part of the work was made, however, around 1535.Madonna della Scodella has had a wide influence: it was studied by, among others, Lelio Orsi, Federico Barocci, Lanfranco Frigeri, Domenichino, as well as Carlo Maratta and Pompeo Batoni. A 1724 copy of the painting hangs in the chapel of Palais Rohan, Strasbourg.

Madonna della Scodella

Prompt: Focus on Madonna della Scodella and explain the Description and style.

The painting depicts an episode in the infancy of Jesus narrated in the apocryphal Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew: while returning to Palestine after the Flight into Egypt and during a break in the shade of a date palm, the Sacred Family were fed, thanks to the tree, which, folding extraordinarily, offered its fruits to the travelers. The Virgin is represented in the act of collecting the fruits, with a bowl of water miraculously appearing to quench Jesus' thirst. From this, the traditional name of the work is derived. The title with which it is known also signified the importance that Correggio wished to place, as with his Madonna of the Basket, on the simple object of the bowl.This iconography was not often used in Italian artistic production. It was, however, more frequent in the North, as displayed by the works of Albrecht Altdorfer and Lucas Cranach.The protagonist role of Joseph was a response to the needs of the Fraternity that commissioned the painting. The image is constructed on a diagonal line, that opens on the left with the bowl of silver and follows the intertwining of hands by the Virgin, Baby Jesus, and Joseph. The pose of Jesus, in a calculated contrapposto, allows him to act as a link between the represented scene and the real world of the observer, to whom he turns a knowing gaze.On high, a glory of angels frees itself in an animated spiral that recalls the Correggio's frescoes of his Assumption of the Virgin in the Parma duomo.

Moses Leaving for Egypt

Prompt: Focus on Moses Leaving for Egypt and explain the History.

The commission of the work originated in 1480, when Perugino was decorating a chapel in the Old St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Pope Sixtus IV was pleased by his work, and decided to commission him also the decoration of the new Chapel he had built in the Vatican Palace. Due to the size of the work, Perugino was later joined by a group of painters from Florence, including Botticelli, Ghirlandaio and others.Perugino's assistants in the Sistine Chapel included Pinturicchio. Some  figures in the fresco were traditionally attributed to him, but this has been disputed by 20th-century art historians. They were  painted by Andrea d'Assisi, Rocco Zoppo or, less likely, Lo Spagna or Bartolomeo della Gatta, other Perugino's collaborators of the time.

Moses Leaving for Egypt

Prompt: Focus on Moses Leaving for Egypt and explain the Description.

The fresco depicting the voyage of Moses is the first on the wall right to the altar, and faces the Baptism of Christ on the opposite wall. The painting shows Moses (dressing in yellow and green as in the other frescoes of the cycle) leaving for Egypt, after he had been exiled from Midian, with Zipporah to his right. In the center, an angel asks him to circumcise his son Eliezer (scene on the right), as a sign of the alliance between Yahweh and the Israelites. The baptism, depicted on the opposite fresco, was in fact considered by several early Christian writers, including Augustine, as a kind of "spiritual circumcision". The ceremony is on the right, and includes Zipporah.In the right background Moses and Zipporah are greeting Jethro before leaving. Natural elements include the hill landscape in the background, characterized by thin trees (including a palm, a symbol of Christian sacrifice), and the birds: two of them are mating, an allusion to the renovations cycles of the nature. On the left background is a group of shepherds. The dames with flying dresses were a common element of Florentine early Renaissance painting, used also by Ghirlandaio and Botticelli.

The Circumcision (Parmigianino)

Prompt: Focus on The Circumcision (Parmigianino) and explain the History.

Giorgio Vasari, the late Renaissance biographer of artists, described a depiction of the Circumcision by Parmigianino. However, his description does not match the Detroit painting: he described a series of characters holding torches and walking which do not appear in this work.The painting is known with certainty only starting from the 1830s, when it was part of the Russian imperial collection, and was copied in an 1851 etching by J. W. Muxel. In 1917 it was acquired at Stockholm by A.B. Nordiska Kompaniet, which a few years later sold it to the American Axel Beskow. In 1936 he donated the work to the Detroit museum.The painting was not unanimously attributed to Parmigianino until 1991.The dating from around 1523 is based on comparison with early other works by the artist and by a preparatory drawing at the Cabinet des Dessins (inv. 6390) of the Louvre museum.

Portrait of Bernhart von Reesen

Prompt: Focus on Portrait of Bernhart von Reesen and explain the Background and details.

The painting was executed during the artist's trip to the Low Countries in the period 1520–1521. On 16 March 1521, Dürer wrote in his diary that he had portrayed in Antwerp one Bernhart von Reesen, for which he was paid eight florins and some small gifts for his wife and maid.The sitter is portrayed wearing black garments and a white shirt. His hands, which, according to the Flemish painting tradition, are cut off on the lower border, hold a small piece of paper with writing on it.  Dürer's portrait mixes traits of Netherlandish portraiture tradition with the Venetian tradition.The sitter is shown in three-quarter profile set against a red background.  The portrait which shows the sitter from close up accentuates the bright face and the large beret. The face is angular but softened through delicate modelling.  Von Reesen is depicted as powerful and confident but his gaze turned to the left in the distance gives his pose at the same time a contemplative quality. The composition is dominated by diagonal lines which give the portrait an intense quality.

Portrait of Bernhart von Reesen

Prompt: Focus on Portrait of Bernhart von Reesen and explain the Identification of the sitter.

The sitter for the portrait has been identified on the basis of the letter he is holding in his hands and the entry in Dürer's diary.  Although the writing is hard to make out, it has been determined that the man should be identified with Bernhard von Reesen. Von Reesen was a successful merchant from Gdańsk who was living in Antwerp at the time. He was thirty years old when the portrait was painted.  He died the same year.Some scholars have identified the sitter in the past with the Flemish painter Bernard van Orley from Brussels whom Dürer met during his stay in Brussels.  This view was debunked in 1972 by Dr. Erna Brand who conclusively showed that the sitter was in fact Bernhard von Reesen.

Portrait of a Young Man with a Lamp

Prompt: Focus on Portrait of a Young Man with a Lamp and explain the Description.

The picture portrays the bust a young man from three-quarter, looking at the viewer. It shows an extreme attention to details, such as the slight epidermic imperfections, the  elongated nose, the soft hair. The use of light and the composition are similar to other early works by Lotto, such as the Portrait of Bishop Bernardo de' Rossi (1505). The face is framed by the dark clothes and hat, painted over a white brocade drapery with a green border.On the right, an opening to a darker background shows a burning lamp, a symbol which could allude to the man's personality or deeds, and which has been variously interpreted (from a reference to an evangelic episode to an allegory of the human life's shortness, due to the dimness of the flame).The subject has been identified as Broccardo Malchiostro, the young chancellor of the bishop of Treviso, Bernardo de' Rossi, who both risked their lives in a plot in 1503. The decoration of the drapery would thus be an example of the use of charades: it is a brocade with carduus, whence "Brocade + carduus = Brocardus". Such allusions are contained in several Lotto works, such as the Portrait of Lucina Brembati, painted during his maturity.

San Pietro Polyptych

Prompt: Focus on San Pietro Polyptych and explain the Description.

The polyptych had been originally commissioned for the Abbey of San Pietro at Perugia, the contract having been signed by Perugino on 8 March 1495. It included a large altarpiece and several panels, within a wooden frame by  Domenico da Verona. The altarpiece, depicting the Ascension of Christ, was to have a lunette with the God in Glory between Angels above it, while the predella had not been exactly defined. The payment was 500  golden ducats, and no more than two years and a half were given to complete the work.The panels were painted between January 1496 and the end of 1499, and the work was solemnly inaugurated on 13 January 1500. Contemporary art historian Giorgio Vasari considered the predella Perugino's best work in his home city.In 1591 the church's choir was radically restored, and the altar had to be dismantled. After the religious suppressions of 1797, the work was acquired by the French, and was divided into several French museums, although several panels remained in Perugia or went to Papal collections in Rome.The cymatium was separated by the main panel by a frame, in the same way of the Vallombrosa Altarpiece. At the sides were two columns which supported the frame arch and which, at the bases, were decorated by three small panels with Saints, sharing the same background.The polyptych included the following panels:Ascension (280 × 216 cm), now at the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon. This work was almost entirely copied by Perugino and his workshop for the later Sansepolcro Altarpiece. The Vallombrosa Altarpiece also used a similar composition, in turn inspired by the now lost Assumption in the Sistine Chapel.God in Glory lunette (114 × 230 cm), now at the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon. It represents God in a cloud in the sky, surrounded by cherubim and seraphim, and two symmetrical angels at the side.Tondoes of Jeremy and Isaiah (both 127 cm in diameter), now at the Musée des beaux-arts of NantesAdoration of the Magi (predella panel, 32 × 59 cm).

Prompt: Focus on Sant'Ambrogio Altarpiece (Botticelli) and explain the abstract.

The Madonna and Child with Six Saints, also known as Sant'Ambrogio Altarpiece, is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli, finished around 1470. It is housed in the Galleria degli Uffizi, in Florence.It portrays the Virgin holding Jesus as the Christ Child enthroned with the saints Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist, Francis of Assisi, Catherine of Alexandria and, kneeling, Cosmas and Damian (patrons of the House of Medici). It is in fact most likely that the latter are portraits of Medici members. Lorenzo il Magnifico and his brother Giuliano have been considered. This painting is an example of sacra conversazione, in which the Madonna and Child are surrounded by saints.
