Notizie Il Sacro Bosco di Bomarzo presenta dal 4 luglio al 15 settembre 2023 In Arte Vicino, un festival con aperture straordinarie, appuntamenti, incontri e installazioni, a cura di Antonio Rocca, in occasione del quinto centenario della nascita dell'ideatore del Bosco, Pierfrancesco Orsini, detto Vicino (Roma, 4 luglio 1523 - Bomarzo, 28 gennaio 1585). In Arte Vicino è promosso e organizzato dal Sacro Bosco di Bomarzo, in collaborazione con i maggiori giardini d'arte contemporanea dell'Italia centrale: il Giardino dei Tarocchi di Niki de Saint Phalle (Capalbio, Grosseto), Hic terminus haeret di Daniel Spoerri (Seggiano, Grosseto), la Scarzuola di Tomaso Buzzi (Montegabbione, Terni) e il Giardino delle Meraviglie di Paolo Portoghesi (Calcata, Viterbo). Il festival ha il patrocinio dell'Accademia Nazionale di San Luca, il sostegno dell'impresa culturale Grandi Giardini Italiani e la convenzione con l'Accademia di Belle Arti di Viterbo e con il Tuscia Film Fest. Presso il Sacro Bosco di Bomarzo si terrà il programma principale con aperture serali e straordinarie, conferenze, visite guidate, approfondimenti storico-artistici, installazioni durante il mese di luglio 2023 e un percorso espositivo, a cura di Susanne Neumann, Lucia Pesapane e Antonio Rocca, con opere di Paolo Portoghesi, Niki de Saint Phalle e Daniel Spoerri, aperta al pubblico dal 4 luglio al 15 settembre 2023. Grazie alla convenzione con il Tuscia Film Fest, inoltre, sono previsti incontri con attori e la proiezione di film in uno scenario d'eccezione. A precedere l'apertura del festival, sabato 1° luglio un evento speciale vedrà impegnato Corrado Augias in una conferenza sulla poliedrica figura di Vicino Orsini. In Arte Vicino nasce dall'idea di Antonio Rocca, storico dell'arte autore di una radicale reinterpretazione del Sacro Bosco di Bomarzo, che riconsegna a Vicino Orsini la piena responsabilità del progetto. Avvalendosi dei Mosca, una famiglia di scultori attivi a Orvieto, il signore di Bomarzo tradusse in pietra la mappa dell'universo redatta dal cabalista cristiano Giulio Camillo ne L'idea del Theatro (1550). Un progetto di natura sacrale che ancora oggi è possibile intravedere all'interno dell'area del cosiddetto Parco dei mostri. Il Sacro Bosco, che si distingue per ecletticità dai giardini coevi fatti realizzare dagli altri signori della zona (come Villa d'Este a Tivoli, Villa Lante a Bagnaia o Palazzo Farnese a Caprarola), scivola nell'oblio all'indomani della morte del committente, per poi essere riscoperto dal Surrealismo: da quel momento comincia ad essere meta e ispirazione per artisti del calibro di Salvador Dalí, diventando il modello di riferimento per i giardini di Tomaso Buzzi, Niki de Saint Phalle, Paolo Portoghesi e Daniel Spoerri. La prossimità di questi giardini "onirici" non è affatto casuale, come sottolinea Antonio Rocca: "Come attratti da un magnete nuovi giardini vennero disponendosi attorno a Bomarzo, designando un cerchio che delimita una sorta di campo energetico. Tra la Maremma e l'Amiata, tra il Peglia e la campagna romana, si inverarono mascheroni dagli occhi azzurri, labirinti, torri, angeli e demoni, arcani di un'avventura unica seppur variamente declinata. Foreste di simboli, nell'inferno della psiche, per poi tornare a vedere le stelle. Al fondo di sogni differenti c'è forse il medesimo archetipo perduto e questi giardini d'artista ne costituiscono una prova in pietra. Un'intuizione che ci ha invitato a confondere in un unico tessuto onirico, questi luoghi incantati, tutti In arte, Vicino". Read the full article

Ludovico Ariosto, poeta del Rinascimento

Uno dei personaggi fondamentali della storia della poesia italiana… Ludovico Ariosto nacque a Reggio Emilia l’8 settembre 1474, il padre Niccolò era capitano della rocca della città e a causa dei suoi incarichi lavorativi impose alla famiglia una serie di spostamenti, prima a Rovigo nel 1481, poi a Venezia e Reggio ed infine a Ferrara nel 1484. Per volere del padre, Ludovico cominciò a studiare legge tra il 1484 e il 1494, oltre a frequentare la corte estense di Ercole I, dove venne a contatto con illustri personaggi dell'epoca tra cui Ercole Strozzi e Pietro Bembo. Gli anni più felici dell’ Ariosto furono quelli tra il 1495 e il 1500 quando poté occuparsi dello studio della letteratura, che è la sua vera passione. Il primo evento che sconvolse la vita di Ludovico fu la morte del padre nel 1500 dato che, come primogenito, doveva occuparsi delle sue cinque sorelle e dei quattro fratelli rimasti orfani. Nel 1502 accettò il capitanato della rocca di Canossa e li ebbe un figlio, Giambattista, nato dalla relazione con la cameriera Maria, seguito dopo poco tempo dalla nascita di un secondo figlio, Virginio, avuto dalla relazione con Olimpia Sassomarino. Ariosto nel 1503 prese gli ordini ecclesiastici minori ed entrò alle dipendenze del cardinale Ippolito d'Este, barcamenandosi tra incarichi amministrativi, servizi da cameriere personale, missioni politiche e diplomatiche. Tra il 1507 e il 1515 fu ad Urbino, Venezia, Firenze, Bologna, Modena Mantova e Roma, oltre ad essere impegnato nella stesura di L’Orlando Furioso e la scrittura e la messa in scena di alcuni lavori teatrali come le commedie Cassaria e I Suppositi. Nel 1510 il cardinale Ippolito ricevette una scomunica dal papa Giulio II e Ariosto andò a perorare la sua causa a Roma, ma non ebbe una buona accoglienza dal papa. Il poeta nel 1512 fuggì attraverso gli Appennini con il duca Alfonso, per sottrarsi alle ire papali, scatenate dall'alleanza tra gli Estensi e i francesi nella guerra della Lega Santa, poi andò a Firenze dove conobbe Alessandra Balducci, la moglie di Tito Strozzi, di cui si innamorò perdutamente. Dopo la morte del marito, avvenuta nel 1515, Alessandra si trasferì a Ferrara e tra i due ha inizio una lunga relazione che culminò in un matrimonio segreto nel 1527. Il rapporto tra Ariosto e il cardinale peggiorò a seguito della pubblicazione dell’Orlando Furioso nel 1516, poi Ludovico si rifiutò di seguire il Cardinale in Ungheria, dove fu nominato vescovo di Buda, e venne licenziato. Nel 1517 il poeta passò alle dipendenze del duca Alfonso d'Este e, dopo la riacquisizione da parte degli Estensi della Garfagnana, fu prescelto come governatore di quei territori dal 1522 al 1525 facendo il possibile per liberarli dai briganti che li infestano, dopodiché tornò a Ferrara. Ludovico visse i suoi ultimi anni di vita in completa tranquillità nella sua casetta di Mirasole, circondato dall'amore del figlio Virginio e della moglie Alessandra, oltre a dedicarsi alla revisione dell'Orlando Furioso, prima di morire il 6 luglio 1533, all'età di 58 anni.

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT CHARLES BORROMEO The Patron of Seminarians Feast Day: November 4

"Be sure that you first preach by the way you live. If you do not, people will notice that you say one thing, but live otherwise, and your words will bring only cynical laughter and a derisive shake of the head."

The patron of seminarians, stomach diseases, starch makers, spiritual leaders, cardinals and bishops, intestinal disorders, catechists and catechumens was born on the feast of the Holy Guardian Angels - October 2, 1538, at the Castle of Arona, Duchy of Milan, and is the third son in a family of six. He was a descendant of nobility; the Borromeo family was one of the most ancient and wealthy in Lombardy, made famous by several notable men, both in the church and state. The family coat of arms included the Borromean rings, which are sometimes taken to symbolize the Holy Trinity. Borromeo's father Gilbert was Count of Arona. His mother Margaret was a member of the Milan branch of the House of Medici.

Borromeo received the tonsure when he was about twelve years old. At this time his paternal uncle Giulio Cesare Borromeo turned over to him the income from the rich Benedictine abbey of Sts. Gratinian and Felin, one of the ancient perquisites of the family. Borromeo made plain to his father that all revenues from the abbey beyond what was required to prepare him for a career in the church belonged to the poor and could not be applied to secular use. The young man attended the University of Pavia, where he applied himself to the study of civil and canon law. On December 6, 1559, he earned a doctorate in both canon and civil law.

When Charles' uncle, Giovanni Angelo Medici, is elected as Pope Pius IV, on Christmas Day 1559, required his nephew to come to Rome, and appointed him as protonotary apostolic on January 13, 1560. Shortly thereafter, he created him a cardinal on January 31, 1560, and thus Borromeo as cardinal-nephew was entrusted with both the public and the privy seal of the ecclesiastical state. He was also brought into the government of the Papal States and appointed a supervisor of the Franciscans, the Carmelites and the Knights of Malta.

He organized the third and final session of the Council of Trent. On February 7, 1560, he was appointed an administrator of the Archdiocese of Milan. After his decision to put into practice the role of bishop, he decided to be ordained priest, and on December 7, 1563 he was consecrated bishop in the Sistine Chapel by Cardinal Giovanni Serbelloni. Borromeo was formally appointed archbishop of Milan on May 12, 1564 after the former archbishop Ippolito II d'Este waived his claims on that archbishopric, but he was only allowed by the pope to leave Rome one year later. Borromeo made his formal entry into Milan as archbishop on September 23, 1565.

Charles visited the parishes of the diocese, ordered the priests to give public catechism on holidays, and was the first bishop to open a diocesan seminary. Despite an impediment in his speech and the lack of brilliance, his sermons were always effective. He had a great respect for the church's liturgy, and never said any prayer with haste.

To a priest who complained of the many distractions he experienced while celebrating mass, he answered: 'But what where you doing in the sacristy before you came out for the Mass? How did you prepare?'

When a fellow bishop said that he had nothing to do, he wrote for him a long list of episcopal duties, adding the comment to each one: 'Can a bishop ever say that he has nothing to do?'

He was able to dispatch so many activities without ever being a hurry because of his regular and methodical application in all that he did.

After the death of his uncle, there was famine at Milan due to crop failures, and later an outbreak of the plague in 1576. The city's trade fell off, and along with it the people's source of income. The Governor and many members of the nobility fled the city, but the bishop remained, to organize the care of those affected and to minister to the dying. He called together the superiors of all the religious communities in the diocese and won their cooperation. Borromeo tried to feed 60,000 to 70,000 people daily. He used up his own funds and went into debt to provide food for the hungry. Finally, he wrote to the Governor and successfully persuaded him to return.

One of the strongly opposed regulations was that all his clergy should be clean-shaven, and that unworthy priests should be dismissed. One day, a renegade priest shot at him, while he was praying in the chapel. Miraculously, the bullet struck his clothes but did not harm his body.

Charged with implementing the reforms dictated by the Council of Trent, Borromeo's uncompromising stance brought him into conflict with secular leaders, priests, and even the Pope, and met with much opposition to his reforms. During his annual retreat at Monte Varallo, Charles fell ill with 'intermittent fever and ague', and on returning to Milan grew rapidly worse. After receiving the Last Rites, he died quietly on November 3, 1584 at the age of 46.

He is beatified on May 12, 1602 by Pope Clement VIII and canonized eight years later by Pope Paul V on November 1, 1610.

"Giulio d'Este (13 July 1478-24 March 1561) was the illegitimate son of Ercole I d'Este and the half-brother of Alfonso d'Este.Giulio d'Este was born in 1478, the product of an affair between Ercole I d'Este and Isabella Arduin, a lady-in-waiting to Ercole's wife. He grew up in the court of the Duchy of Ferrara, and he became rivals with his half-brother Ippolito d'Este concerning the patronage of a musician. Ippolito was a trusted advisor of Duke Alfonso d'Este, leading to Giulio losing. In 1505, he was exiled to Brescello, while his other half-brother, Ferrante d'Este, was exiled to Modena. Lucrezia Borgia and Isabella d'Este convinced Alfonso to pardon the brothers, but, in 1506, they plotted to assassinate Alfonso and Ippolito and make Ferrante the new Duke. They were both captured, and Giulio was imprisoned for 53 years. However, his grandnephew Alphonso II d'Este released Giulio from prison at the age of 81, and he died in 1561."

Vanity (1907) by Frank Cadogan Cowper (1877 - 1958)

The subject matter and composition of 'Vanity' are derived from Italian Renaissance painting. Cowper has bedecked his youthful beauty with jewels and given her a hand-mirror to signify vanity. She stands before a vine, heavy with ripe grapes, suggestive of abundance and pleasure. Although this painting is secular in subject, the pose of a woman leaning on a covered parapet is reminiscent of Renaissance imagery of the Virgin and Child. Although Cowper did not belong to a particular artistic group this, like many of his paintings, relates to the work of artists now known as 'Second Generation Pre-Raphaelites'. Decorative and richly coloured, 'Vanity' suggests the romance of the past and alludes to notions of the chivalric and courtly love. The detailing of the luxurious fabrics relates to a renewed interest in the applied arts and crafts, which emerged late 19th century British art. The elaborate serpentine design on the woman's dress may have been inspired by the portrait of Isabella d'Este attributed to Giulio Romano (Historic Royal Palaces). Edward Burne-Jones had also depicted such a design in his watercolour 'Sidonia von Bork' (1860; Tate Britain).

Cutting from a Missal: Initial O with Christ Performing an Exorcism, Matteo da Milano, c. 1520, Cleveland Museum of Art: Medieval Art

This initial is probably the O beginning the Introit for the Third Sunday in Lent, Occuli mei semper ad Dominum (My eyes are ever towards the Lord). The Gospel reading from that Sunday tells the story of Christ casting out a demon. The artist's style is easily recognized in the facial features, and in the borders, in which he typically mixed still-life motifs, scattered small red and blue flowers, strawberries, and simulated pearls and jewels. Matteo's life dates are not known. His career probably began in Milan in the 1490s, but his name occurs in the accounts of the d'Este family at Ferrara from 1502 to 1512. The climax of Matteo's career was his activity in Rome, where he was apparently responsible for a number of luxury illuminated liturgical manuscripts. In 1520 he illuminated a missal for Cardinal Giulio de' Medici, the future Pope Clement VII (1523–34). The initial shown here comes from another missal that he must have illuminated around the same time. This missal was most probably in the Sistine Chapel sacristy when it was sacked by Napoleon's troops in 1798. Size: Each leaf: 7.7 x 6.7 cm (3 1/16 x 2 5/8 in.) Medium: ink, tempera and liquid gold on vellum

Gillis Coignet - Perseus turning Atlas to stone -

In Greek mythology, Atlas (Greek: Ἄτλας, Átlas) was a Titan condemned to hold up the celestial heavens for eternity after the Titanomachy. Atlas also plays a role in the myths of two of the greatest Greek heroes: Heracles (Hercules in Roman mythology) and Perseus. According to the ancient Greek poet Hesiod, Atlas stood at the ends of the earth in extreme west. Later, he became commonly identified with the Atlas Mountains in northwest Africa and was said to be the first King of Mauretania. Atlas was said to have been skilled in philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. In antiquity, he was credited with inventing the first celestial sphere. In some texts, he is even credited with the invention of astronomy itself.

Atlas was the son of the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Asia or Clymene. He was a brother of Epimetheus and Prometheus. He had many children, mostly daughters, the Hesperides, the Hyades, the Pleiades, and the nymph Calypso who lived on the island Ogygia.

The term Atlas has been used to describe a collection of maps since the 16th century when Flemish geographer Gerardus Mercator published his work in honor of the mythological Titan.

The "Atlantic Ocean" is derived from "Sea of Atlas". Furthermore, the name of Atlantis mentioned in Plato's Timaeus' dialogue derives from "Atlantis nesos" (Ancient Greek: Ἀτλαντὶς νῆσος), literally meaning "Atlas's Island."

Gillis Coignet, Congnet or Quiniet (c. 1542 – 1599) was a Flemish Renaissance painter, who was strongly influenced by the Italian style. He painted historical and mythological subjects of an easel size, but was more successful in landscapes, in candlelight subjects, and moonlight. He was a Lutheran, which probably influenced his moves from Antwerp to Amsterdam and then Hamburg. He spent most of the 1560s in Italy.

Gillis was born in Antwerp, the son of Gillis the Elder, a scientific instrument maker, and Brigitta Anthonis. In the certification book of the city of Antwerp of 1579 he claimed to be 37 years old, in that of 1586 he claimed to be 43, thus he was born ca. 1542 and, if his statements are correct, he was born between April and September of that year. He had the misfortune to be born with a large hairy mole in his face, hence his nickname Gillis met de Vlek (Gillis with the Spot). According to the Guildbooks of the Guild of St. Luke, Gillis was apprenticed to Lambrecht Wenslyns. Van Mander's claim that he stayed with the art dealer Anthony Palerme for some time is correct. The latter testified in 1586 that Gillis had been boarding with him when his parents were still alive (i.e. before 1562). In 1561 Gillis was admitted to the Guild of St. Luke as a Master.

In the second half of the 1560s he journeyed through Italy, where he visited inter al. Florence, Rome, Naples and Sicily. According to the Florentine Accademio del Disegno, Giulio Cognietta fiamingo P(ictor) was present at their meeting of 16 January 1568. In Terni (Umbria) he worked with a painter called Stello on frescoes and an altar in fresco style. According to Van Mander, Stello was Flemish, Nicole Dacos identifies this Stello as a member of the family of painters Stellaert from Mechelen. Both painters are mentioned in a document as members of a group of decorators who embellished the salon of the Villa d'Este under the supervision of Frederico Zuccaro, they also worked on an embossed grotesque in the Palazzo Giocosi. Apparently Gillis also worked for Francesco de' Medici.

After 1570 he returned to Antwerp where he employed a number of apprentices. In July 1571 the painter Willem vanden Bosch wrote to the Duke of Alba that Gillis would like to enter the service of the Duke.

Gillis was married to Magdalena de Kempeneer, but it is uncertain whether he married her before or after his Italian journey. They had only one child Juliana (?- about 1616).

At the end of the 1570s they lived in the house De hove van de Jonge Voetboog, which belonged to the Guild of St-Joris (St. George). In March 1580 he and his wife bought the lifelong usufruct of the house for 750 guilders on the condition that the Guild members could use the bowling green at any time. The house stood in the Schuttershofstraat and had a rent value of 40 guilders.

For the monthly quotisation, a special tax levied to pay for defence against the Spaniards, Gillis Coignet's family was taxed at 2 guilders 10 stivers indicating that Gillis enjoyed affluent circumstances. At that time Gillis was considered to be a Martinist (i.e. a Lutheran).

In 1581 Gillis became a member of the Armenbus of the Guild of St. Luke. The Armenbus was founded in 1538, following the example of other trades, and was formed to support the members who by sickness or accident were unable to support their families or whose relatives were too poor to pay for the burial service. After joining the Armenbus there was a waiting period before the benefits could be enjoyed. The Armenbus was chaired by two 'busmeesters', in the first year one was 'medebusmeester' (deputy chairman) and in the succeeding year became 'hoofdbusmeester' (chairman). In 1582, one year after joining the Armenbus Gillis became mede-busmeester, in the following year he became hoofdbusmeester with Philip Galle, the engraver, as medebusmeester. This same year Gillis seems to have persuaded a number of his relatives to become members of the Armenbus, including his brothers the physician Jacob and the court mathematician Michiel together with their wives.

In 1584 Gillis became Dean of the Guild of St. Luke, a post he would continue to perform during and shortly after the siege by the Spaniards. It therefore can be no surprise that doubts about his religion and his behaviour were raised after the Reconciliation. In 1586, however, Anthony Palerme and Jan van de Kerckhove testified that Gillis had behaved himself "with all modesty and peacefulness". Gillis also testified on behalf of other Guild members, e.g. he testified together with Philip Galle and Gerard de Jode that Marten van Valckenborch and his son-in-law Henrick van Steenwijck were citizens of the town.

It appears that Gillis had no intention to leave the city at that time. He paid his dues to the Guild for 1585-86, and on 3 October 1585 he and Philips Galle, the new Dean, examined the accounts of the Guild. Apparently some difficulties arose, a dispute occurred and a conciliatory meeting with the elders (= previous deans) was held on 26 October 1585. His last appearance in the Guildbooks dates back to Ascension Day 1586, when it became apparent that the accounts he and Ambrosius Vrancken had drawn up did not balance.

In the Spring of 1586 Gillis sold the usufruct of the house to Hendrik Jennen. A note from Philip Galle, written after 4 September 1586, makes clear that Gillis had left town.

Gillis went to Amsterdam, where he became a citizen in 1589. According to van Mander he was a successful painter in Amsterdam, and influenced the art scene in that city considerably. Van Mander also asserts that it was Gillis Coignet who persuaded Hans Vredeman de Vries to come to Amsterdam.

On 6 April 1588 he was a representative for the Lutheran community of Amsterdam. On 15 March 1590 he had a dispute with the Calvinist painter Adriaan Conflans. It is not clear whether their religious beliefs had anything to do with this dispute, but it is not impossible as the relations between Lutherans and Calvinists in the Amsterdam at that time were very bad indeed.

About 1593-94 Gillis went to Hamburg, "because of his religion or something else" according to van Mander, and he is last mentioned in Amsterdam on 21 January 1593, when he was a witness at a baptism. His painting Lottery on the Rusland, painted in Amsterdam, is dated May 1593, while The Last Supper was painted in Hamburg dated 1595. Gillis died in Hamburg on 27 October 1599 and was buried in the Jacobskirche.

His daughter Juliana married Philips van der Veken; she died before or during 1616. Her husband tried, as the executor of her will, to recover the money which her father had lent to the city of Antwerp.

I couldn’t sleep last night and because I’m insane I decided to write down every named character in Shoukoku no Altair that I could think of. After some revision I’ve come to a total of 220 individuals (although two particular names both belong to one person). You can find the complete alphabetical list below. How many do you recognise? If you can think of any I’ve missed, I’ll be impressed!

☕ Isabella d'Este (and of course her feud with Lucrezia Borgia)

I think she had to be a pretty savy political player, because apparently she was called “Machiavelli in skirts”, and she amuses me from time to time, like when she condemned Cesare’s attack on Urbino and gave asylum to Guidobaldo and his wife Elisabetta, but at the same time wrote a letter to her brother Giulio asking him to intervene with Cesare so he could send her from Guidobaldo’s art collection a small ancient statue of Venus and a Cupid that she had coveted for a long time. Or when she send those beautiful masks to Cesare after what happened at Senigallia telling him that after so much work, he should have a little fun. Which imo almost reads like her basically saying: For the love of god, Stop this swift en masse taking of cities! Go party a little! For all our sakes! lol.Last but not least, when she told her husband to not say anything that could be viewed as a threat in Cesare’s presence, nor at la Duchessa’s presence, meaning Lucrezia, which implies she was pretty aware that Lucrezia possibly reported everything back to her brother,so what was said at her presence might as well have been said at his presence you know.And their feud, oh my god. It’s interesting because I honestly don’t believe Lucrezia cared all that much about being the best dressed™, there is no indication of her being competitive over these things, but since it bothered Isabella so much, I can see her doing it out of spite really. Once she realized that friendship was not an option between the two of them, esp. with Isabella’s husband falling for Lucrezia’s ~Borgia allure~ and always being uh… very friendly with her, to say the least. I also believe that Isabella’s obsession with this clearly wasn’t just about frivolous fashion. It definitely had a political/personal side to it. It was about reaffirming her position as a d’Este at Ferrara’s court, her family’s court. She couldn’t let Lucrezia, a mere Borgia, have any wins over her, and I think Lucrezia understood that very well, and did her best to subtly and sometimes not so subtly reaffirm herself and her place too.

#isabella d'este #lucrezia borgia #house borgia #anon ask #ask answered #my thoughts #so as you can see #everything i know about her are kinda connected to the borgia family #what a suprise right #lol #and tbh i don't find it her interesting as a historical figure to read more about her #even though i find her family's history fascinating #so yeah

In a recent post we looked at mourning notices from the eighteenth century, but life in the court of Milan was certainly not all somber. Celebratory events such as weddings and other festivals were marked with multiple days of revelry. Often these occasions were described afterwards in festival books, sometimes lavishly illustrated, intended to memorialize the event. However, they were also the subject of other more ephemeral documents produced in the moment. These range from administrative-type works and announcements to commemorative items.

A small bundle of notices and broadsides in the Cavagna Collection includes six items related to the wedding of Ferdinand of Austria and Maria Beatrice d’Este, who appeared in one of our previous posts, and showcases the variety of these pieces of court-related ephemera. There is a schedule which outlines a full sixteen days of celebrations with public masks, opera and ballet performances, races, and other festivities, as well as a smaller notice making changes to that schedule and broadside announcements relating to the rules for specific races. But there are also two more commemorative broadsides of poetry, one of which is written in Milanese dialect with parallel text in Italian. This broadside is from the Fecchin dol Lagh Mejô, or the Porters of Lake Maggiore, who appear to have been part of the festivities on Saturday, October 19. Occasional poetry was a common occurrence for many types of events, and the Cavagna Collection includes numerous bound printed volumes of occasional poetry along with other examples of these more ephemeral broadsides.

Among the other pieces of ephemera that Cavagna grouped with the Ferdinand and Maria Beatrice wedding items are two additional works in dialect. These relate to a different performance by the Fecchin dol Lagh Mejô, in this case honoring the arrival of the count and countess Castellamare in Milan on July 6, 1785. One of the works, issued by one of the two Abbà who governed the group, includes an image suggesting the costume of these performers. SH

Título: Hércules descansando después de matar a la Hidra

Artista / Creador: Giulio Romano (Giulio Pippi) (italiano, antes de 1499-1546)

Cultura: italiano

Sitio: Italia (lugar creado)

Fecha: alrededor de 1535

Medio: Pluma y tinta marrón (anverso); Tiza negra, incisa para transferir (verso)

Número de objeto: 88.GA.128

Dimensiones: 25,4 × 20,3 cm

Museo J. Paul Getty.

El musculoso dios griego Hércules se reclina para descansar después de completar la segunda de sus doce labores. El rey Euristeo le había ordenado matar a la monstruosa hidra de siete cabezas, una serpiente de agua que devastó el campo. Tan pronto como el héroe cortó una cabeza, sin embargo, dos más aparecieron en su lugar. Con la ayuda de un compañero, Hércules finalmente mató a la criatura cauterizando los cuellos con una antorcha encendida. Giulio Romano mostró a Hércules descansando triunfante, con las cabezas de la hidra esparcidas alrededor de sus pies. Sostiene su garrote debajo de un brazo y agarra el extremo de una antorcha en el otro, mientras su arco y carcaj de flechas cuelgan del árbol detrás.

Este dibujo no se relaciona con ningún trabajo conocido. Algunos estudiosos han sugerido que Guilio pudo haberlo usado como un estudio preparatorio para una impresión, mientras que otros creen que pudo haberlo hecho para un proyecto de pintura encargado por su mecenas, Ercole d'Este. El soldado Ercole a menudo se asociaba con su homónimo Hércules, la personificación de la fuerza y el coraje.
