The Enraged Musician

Prompt: Explain the Picture of this artwork, The Enraged Musician.

The image is ostensibly a purely comic scene. While the violinist attempts to rehearse, the noisiest inhabitants of London pass by his window. On the far left a squawking parrot perches above a pregnant ballad-seller singing "The Ladies' Fall" while holding her bawling baby. A young girl holding a ratchet looks with amazement at a boy urinating below the musician's window (this is an often repeated image in Hogarth's work: similar scenes can be seen in The March to Finchley and in his illustrations for Hudibras and may be a reference to John Gay's "Trivia"). The boy has a cord tied round his waist attached to a trailing slate which would clatter along the ground as he ran. In the centre of the picture a young milk-seller calling her wares provides the real focus of the picture; though set back more from the viewer than some of the subjects, she appears larger than the children and the crouching figure of the cutler. She balances a large pail of milk on her head and is the only subject that looks out at the viewer. This, combined with the large expanse of white apron, draws the viewer's eye towards her. Ronald Paulson, the modern authority on Hogarth, suggests that she is singing and that her beauty and grace—she delicately lifts her skirt to avoid dragging it through the boy's urine—mark her out as the only natural musician in the scene; while the other inhabitants of the street produce discordant notes, the music of the violinist would be no better, because he has restricted himself by his studies and by removing himself from nature. He covers his ears to block out the cacophony of the street noise, but at the same time he denies himself the sweet music of the milkmaid's voice.The milkmaid is flanked on either side by street musicians: to her right a man plays a hautboy, metaphorically thumbing his nose at the violinist; and to her left a small boy beats a drum. Behind the milkmaid, a paviour beats the ground with a heavy rammer. In the lower right-hand corner a dog barks at the racket created by a knife-grinder sharpening a cleaver. Behind these characters, a host of street vendors noisily announce their services: a dustman with a basket on his back rings a handbell, a sow-gelder blows a horn, and a fishmonger cups his hand to his mouth as he shouts. In the distance there is a hint of yet more noise. A church—traditionally identified as St Martin-in-the-Fields yet closer in form to St Giles-in-the-Fields—flies a flag, suggesting perhaps an important event during which bells would be rung. The building to the right is the works of pewterer John Long, from which would issue a constant ring of hammers, and on its roof two hissing cats with arched backs prepare to fight. Appearing from the chimney is a sweep who may be calling to an unseen colleague that his work is done. In the lower left corner some loose bricks—suggestive of building works out of view—have been piled up (no doubt noisily) into a little house. The long-nosed violinist framed in the open window clamps his hands to ears in frustration.While the image entertains purely by the number of references to noisy activities crammed into the scene, the play-bill for Gay's The Beggar's Opera, prominently displayed on the wall next to the musician's window, hints at developments in British music at the time. The Beggar's Opera had enjoyed extraordinary success and had caused, or at least coincided with, a shift in the taste of audiences away from Italian opera and towards "British" music and homegrown culture. Hogarth was an enthusiastic supporter of the change in public tastes. He had mocked the vogue for continental fashions in many of his works (A Rake's Progress and Marriage à-la-mode both have scenes dedicated to the foolishness of the Levée, and, in 1724, even before The Beggar's Opera, in the earliest of his self-published satirical prints The Bad Taste of the Town Hogarth mocked the fashion for Italian opera and Italian opera singers). The play-bill here is anachronistic as it advertises the play with the original 1728 cast. The musician's identity has never been satisfactorily established. He is identified as an Italian both by Jean André Rouquet, whose French notes on the prints were approved by Hogarth, and by John Trusler who claimed Hogarth's widow's approval for his Hogarth Moralized. He has been variously identified as a number of foreign musicians of the time, including "Corvetto, well known by the name of Nosee" (probably Giacobbe Cervetto, often caricaturized for his large nose), and Pietro Castrucci, the leader of Handel's orchestra. Handel had noted the shift in public taste himself, and from the 1730s he composed more English oratorio and theatre works, including the setting the works of Milton, Dryden and Congreve to music. Hogarth, as well as comically juxtaposing high and low culture, could be suggesting that a foreign tradition is being silenced by a burgeoning sense of Britishness. This may have been an afterthought though, as the playbill was not present in the earliest impressions, and the hautboy player and paver are usually respectively identified as Jewish and Irish, while the drummer boy is dressed in the same fashion as the young Huguenot leaving the church in Noon, the second scene of Hogarth's Four Times of the Day. The musician has also been identified as John Festin (mistakenly rendered as Foster in some accounts), a teacher of the flute and hautboy, by Hogarth's friend and biographer John Ireland and later by the commentator John Trusler. The story Festin told Hogarth obviously provided the inspiration for at least part of the scene:I once waited upon my lord Spencer, but his lordship being out of town, from him I went to Mr. V——n. It was so early that he was not arisen. I went into his chamber, and, opening a shutter, sat down in the window-seat. Before the rails was a fellow playing upon the hautboy. A man with a barrow full of onions offered the piper an onion if he would play him a tune. That ended, he offered a second onion for a second tune; the same for a third, and was going on: but this was too much; I could not bear it; it angered my very soul—'Zounds!' said I, 'stop here! This fellow is ridiculing my profession; he is playing on the hautboy for onions!'The hautboy player has similarly defied identification. Charles Frederick Weideman, a leading London flautist, who had played the oboe earlier in his career, has been suggested as the flautist seen playing in plate 4 of Marriage à-la-mode, and in The Enraged Musician: Hogarth's Musical Imagery, Jeremy Barlow claims that he and the hautboy player are one and the same.The presence of many street traders may also satirise Marcellus Laroon's much-copied 17th-century prints of The Cryes of the City of London and more recent images by Hogarth's rival, Giacomo Amiconi.

The early trial was not as crowded or, by extension, as noisy, as the issued print. The character of the drummer boy was most changed between versions, but other subjects also underwent alterations, and more features were added.

The Enraged Musician

Prompt: Focus on The Enraged Musician and explain the Variations.

An early trial impression was missing the church steeple, cats, the man blowing the horn and the play-bill. In this version the dustman was missing his nose (a sign that he was syphilitic), a doll was placed in the model brick house in the foreground, and the drummer boy sported a Grenadier's cap. The drummer was handsome and had turned to look towards the little girl. By the time the print was issued this suggestion of a domestic theme with the boy, girl, and house with "child" had been removed. The boy had his cap removed and his handsome face turned away from the girl and replaced by features which Charles Lamb described as "idiotic". The doll was removed and the girl given a rattle to add to the image of pure noise. Later copies featured a black horse in place of the white horse ridden by the horn blower and showed cross-hatching on the sleeves of the ballad-seller and the play-bill. Later impressions also made the dog and grinder darker, while lightening the cap of the sow-gelder.

Portrait of a Man with a Falcon

Prompt: Focus on Portrait of a Man with a Falcon and explain the History.

The Joslyn Art Museum dates this portrait to the late 1520s and attributes it to Titian alone, although this attribution is not accepted by some modern scholars. According to Georg Gronau, it was painted in Titian's middle period, about 1530 to 1540.The work was "sadly damaged" by the time it went to the United States in the early 1900s, and some students of Venetian art then thought it a copy. Charles Ricketts thought this impression was due mainly to the repainting, in brown, of the background, formerly grey, with the consequent weakening of the contours and falsifying of the shadows; and the reduction in the quality of the pigment by ironing or relining. Extensive conservation work was completed by senior conservator Mark Leonard at the Getty Museum in 2008.

Charles Ricketts thought this impression was due mainly to the repainting, in brown, of the background, formerly grey, with the consequent weakening of the contours and falsifying of the shadows; and the reduction in the quality of the pigment by ironing or relining. Extensive conservation work was completed by senior conservator Mark Leonard at the Getty Museum in 2008.

Portrait of a Man with a Falcon

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

Turning with animation to the right, the sitter is trying a falcon which he holds on his left hand. The head is slightly thrown back, the right side, together with the right hand, which is feeling the falcon, is placed in strong light. A neutral grey background, somewhat lighter close round the figure, sets in strong relief the form attired in black. The head of a pointer can be seen, just appearing in the left-hand lower corner, gazing up at his master.

Madonna of the Harpies

Prompt: Focus on Madonna of the Harpies and explain the abstract.

Madonna of the Harpies (Italian: Madonna delle Arpie) is an altarpiece in oils by Andrea del Sarto, a major painter of the High Renaissance. It was commissioned in 1515 and was signed and dated by the artist in 1517 in the inscription on the pedestal; it is now in the Uffizi in Florence. It was praised by Giorgio Vasari, and is arguably the artist's best-known work.The Virgin is standing on a pedestal which includes harpies sculpted in relief, from which the painting takes its name. At least, Vasari (and presumably his Florentine contemporaries) thought they were harpies; some modern art historians think that locusts are represented, in a reference to the Book of Revelation. Either way, they represent forces of evil being trampled on by the Virgin.It is a sacra conversazione showing the Virgin and Child flanked by putti and two saints (Saint Bonaventure or Francis and John the Evangelist). Compared to the stillness of earlier paintings of similar groups, here the "dynamism of the High Renaissance was inimical to the static quality of 15th-century art", so that "a composition of fundamentally classical purity is animated by a nervous energy in the figures to produce an unsettling impression of variety."It was completed in 1517 for the church of the convent and hospital of San Francesco dei Macci in Florence; this was run by the Poor Clares and is long closed, but the church building survives. The figures have a Leonardo-like aura, with a pyramid-shaped composition. The harpies, figures from pagan mythology (or locusts), here represent temptation and sin, which the Virgin has conquered and stands upon. The Christ child is shown as unusually old, and has an athletic contrapposto pose. He looks down to the putti, and all three have a "mischiefness" that contrasts with the serious, abstracted, air of the adults.The main character in Kürk Mantolu Madonna ('Madonna with a Fur Coat'), a novel by the Turkish writer Sabahattin Ali, is the figure of the Virgin Mary in the Madonna of the Harpies.

Fontes Tamarici

Prompt: Focus on Fontes Tamarici and explain the abstract.

The Fontes Tamarici, (Spanish: Fuentes Tamáricas, English: Tamaric Fountains), are  three springs located by the geographer and Roman historian Pliny the Elder in classical Cantabria. Since the 18th century they have been identified with the source of La Reana in Velilla del Río Carrión, Palencia, Spain. The first mention of the spring, by Pliny, dates from the time of the Roman conquest of Cantabria.  Pliny records that the springs were frequently dry, while other nearby springs continued to flow; he says that the springs being dry was considered to be a bad omen.

Fontes Tamarici

Prompt: Focus on Fontes Tamarici and explain the History.

The Tamarici, one of the tribes that made up the Cantabri, inhabited the area from the 3rd century BC. They worshiped waters and the sacred springs. The exact year of the construction of the Fontes Tamarici is unknown, but when the Roman Empire conquered Cantabria in 19 BC, they found these sources that drew wide attention. The outbreak irregular emptying its waters and unexpected, accompanied by the noise that precedes underground filling, had to be at that time matter of respect and adoration. Possibly they were used as baths, laundry and omen. It has been also suggested that the fountain could be dedicated to a god of the waters, where predictions were made based on their irregular filling and emptying cycle. In the thirteenth century it was built beside a hermitage devoted to John the Baptist, to Christianize the place and delete all relations with pagan rites.

Fontes Tamarici

Prompt: Focus on Fontes Tamarici and explain the The curse of Pliny.

Studies of the naturalist and geographer Pliny the Elder on the lands occupied by the Roman Empire are crucial for knowledge and location of Tamaric Fountains. In his Naturalis Historiae, XXXI, 3, is where he alludes its particularity: The sources, too, of the Tamaricus, a river of Cantabria, are considered to possess certain powers of presaging future events: they are three in number, and, separated solely by an interval of eight feet, unite in one channel, and so form a mighty stream. These springs are often dry a dozen times in the day, sometimes as many as twenty, without there being the slightest trace of water there: while, on the other hand, a spring close at hand is flowing abundantly and without intermission. It is considered an evil presage when persons who wish to see these springs find them dry: a circumstance which happened very recently, for example, to Lartius Licinius, who held the office of legatus after his prætorship; for at the end of seven days after his visit he died.Lartius Licinius was a great supporter of the work of Pliny, with his intense desire for knowledge of new discoveries, he visited the spring when it were in their dry phase, and died a week after in 70 AD.

Prompt: Focus on Fontes Tamarici and explain the Polemics.

The identification of La Reana with the Fontes Tamarici has been contested to the point that, as of 2023, it is highly doubtful that they have anything to do with those described by Pliny. Fernández Acebo, after a critical study of both classic and historiographical sources, concludes that the adscription of La Reana to the Plinian fountain is wrong, arising from a faulty interpretation of the classical sources (Ptolemy, Strabo and Pomponius Mela) by the historian Enrique Flórez in the 18th century.Flórez, with the very limited material available at his time, confused two ancient polities, the Camarici and the Tamarici. Wrong identification of tribes led to wrong identification of places. This error was stablished as a fact without further examination, backed by Florez's reputation, until the end of the 20th century. Under this false assumption, archaeologist García Bellido identified the Reana as the Plinian springs. This identification was soon followed by its declaration as historical monument ("Monumento Histórico") by the Ministry of National Education, eager to add some kind of touristic attraction to the zone. Much to the dismay of Bellido, the archaeological campaigns on site (1960-1961) yield practically no Roman findings, but medieval ones, a fact which Bellido candidly acknowledges: "The result of both (digging) campaigns results in an insufficient documentation of Roman presence in the spring". The official declaration of historical monument was a no return point for Bellido, a honest and hardworking archaeologist, which left the matter as it was, not to contradict the Francoist authorities nor disenchant the locals with a retraction. Fernández Acebo proposes that probabilities are high that real Fontes Tamarici might be the impressive intermittent river of La Fuentona ("The big Fountain") in Ruente, Cantabria (Spain) which fits neatly with Plinian description.

Portrait of Dora Maar

Prompt: Focus on Portrait of Dora Maar and explain the Background.

The portrait of Dora Maar was painted by Pablo Picasso in 1937, one year after they first met in Paris and started a relationship that would last for almost nine years. The couple had briefly met on the set of the French movie The Crime of Monsieur Lange at the end of 1935. Later, in 1936, in the brasserie Les Deux Magots in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighbourhood of Paris, Dora Maar and Picasso, who were both artists and engaged in left-wing activities, were introduced by a mutual friend, Paul Eluard. Picasso, who was then 55 years old, fell in love with the 29-year-old Maar and the couple soon began living together. Their relationship was tempestuous and although it lasted for almost nine years, Picasso did not end his relationship with Marie-Thérèse Walter, who was the mother of his daughter Maya. The tension caused by this situation only worsened and their relationship ended in 1943.

Portrait of Dora Maar

Prompt: Focus on Portrait of Dora Maar and explain the Description.

Picasso's portrait of Dora Maar is an oil on canvas painting, which depicts the subject sitting in a chair. She is portrayed as an elegant woman, with fine jewellery and clothing. The portrait displays her long red fingernails, art deco jacket with a flower motif and her right ear as a bee. Her posture indicates that she is relaxed, as she sits with one hand raised against her cheek. This pose can also be seen in other portraits that Picasso created of Dora. The bars on the chair, which appear like prison cell bars, have been interpreted as symbols of the subject's confinement. Picasso once said, "A painter has to create what he feels. [...] Women are suffering machines. When I paint a woman in an armchair, the chair is old age and death, right? Too bad for her. Or it's to protect her..." Picasso painted Maar in the Surrealist style, using bright colours and angular shapes. Although her posture reflects a more traditional style of representation in art, her form is composed of short, sharp, broken lines. Musée Picasso Paris suggests that this is a symbol of the subject's perceived psychological imbalance. The image also displays a certain element of sadness in Maar's  demeanour. Picasso often painted her as a tormented, anguished woman, which is most evident in his 1937 painting The Weeping Woman.In this portrait, Maar's face is particularly remarkable for its experimental style, as the image depicts both the profile of the face and the frontal face in conjunction, which provides an opportunity to convey several perspectives. Maar is looking directly towards the artist, which is impossible, but made possible by the artist's rendering of the subject. The other eye is looking inwards, towards herself. Picasso is therefore able to show two aspects of the face simultaneously, which convey two sides of the self.This portrait of Maar is reminiscent of Helena Fourment with a Carriage, a painting by Peter Paul Reubens in 1639.

Portrait of Dora Maar

Prompt: Focus on Portrait of Dora Maar and explain the Significance and legacy.

Portrait of Dora Maar clearly shows the importance of the subject in Picasso's life. He painted numerous portraits of her during their relationship. Maar shared Picasso's life during the interwar period, a tumultuous time leading up to World War II. Connections have been drawn between the torment of the young woman as depicted in Picasso's portraits and the political upheavals of the period, particularly in Spain. The portrait therefore may be seen as a reflection of the anxiety caused by the Spanish Civil War, which broke out, a year before, in 1936.
