Book Synopsis Baroque Painting in Malta by : Keith Sciberras
Download or read book Baroque Painting in Malta written by Keith Sciberras and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Baroque painting in Malta reflects that of the Italian peninsula and, in many ways, can be directly integrated within it. In terms of quantity, the island was impressively prolific. In terms of quality, works vary tremendously. There were, however, celebrated instances when the island was significantly at the forefront of stylistic development. A handful of Maltese artists worked beyond the island's shores and some, like the painter Francesco Noletti (il Fieravino), made major breakthroughs in Rome, the 'mother' of all cities. The island's small size also meant that it could be easily conditioned by one or two major artists working there. Therefore, a talented artist, Maltese or foreign, could exert tremendous influence on the stylistic currents that prevailed. The story of Baroque painting in Malta is thus marked by such artists.

Book Synopsis Caravaggio and Paintings of Realism in Malta by : Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio
Download or read book Caravaggio and Paintings of Realism in Malta written by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio and published by Midsea Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 1608, Caravaggio was invested with the habit of Magistral Obedience by Alof de Wignacourt, Grand Master of the Knights of Malta. In honouring Caravaggio, the Grand Master thought that he would thus keep the artist firmly attached to the Order of St John, hoping that the Order would find glory through his art: 'we wish to gratify the desire of this excellent painter, so that our Island Malta, and our Order may at last glory in this adopted disciple and citizen' (extract from the document of Caravaggio's investiture). The artist, however, soon fell out of grace and was deprived of his knighthood in the very same year. Malta had thus, strictly speaking, 'lost' Caravaggio. Caravaggio's presence in Malta was, however, to remain strong, partly because of the pictures that he painted and partly because of the overwhelming influence that his art had on realist paintings that found their way on the island thereafter. Caravaggio, the man dishonoured by the Order, was thus honoured through his art. This exhibition, entitled Caravaggio and paintings of Realism in Malta, forms part of a wider programme of events called CARAVAGGIO400, aimed at celebrating the 400th anniversary of Caravaggio's stay in Malta.

Book Synopsis Francesco Zahra 1710-1773 by : Keith Sciberras
Download or read book Francesco Zahra 1710-1773 written by Keith Sciberras and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book celebrates the 300th-year anniversary of Francesco Zahra's birth in 1710 and seeks to show the extraordinary range of the artist's output. Zahra was Malta's most important native painter of the mid-18th century and his style wonderfully captured the spirit of the Late Baroque. He was extremely prolific and could handle the brush with a fascinating ease, thus furnishing Maltese churches with hundreds of paintings, large and small. His extraordinary creative spirit also ensured that his pictures breathed the compositional freshness of mature artists. Francesco Zahra produced various designs for church furniture, marble altars, silver artefacts, liturgical vessels and other objets d'art that still survive scattered around the island. Zahra's output can be divided into a number of phases and this book seeks to trace such evolution and development. It also seeks to re-evaluate some of the most important works of his oeuvre. Zahra's early style is his weakest and was largely dependent on the works of his first tutor Gio Nicola Buhagiar (1698-1752). The 1730s were largely dominated by the artistic affinities of these two painters and there were instances when it was difficult to tell them apart. Zahra reached his early maturity by 1740 when his art started to depart from the manner of his tutor. By the mid-1740s, Zahra was the most important native painter on the island, only to be challenged by the arrival of the Frenchman Antoine Favray. Zahra's interest in proper disegno and in the work of Mattia Preti and Favray made him modify his style and - by the mid-1750s - adopt a more solid approach. His figurative forms changed and the general atmosphere of his works became more sophisticated. Francesco Zahra marked Maltese mid-18th century art with his timbre and distinctly shaped the character of religious painting. His decorative appeal and theatrical manner complemented the context of the period and made him one of the most fashionable of the Baroque painters active in Malta.

Excerpt: ... by Giovanni Calamia a noble Rhodian at his own expense, as a receptacle for the miracle working portrait of Our Lady of Damascus, which according to tradition is the work of St. Luke, and which still remains here. The picture of the Resurrection is by S. Erardi. The Church Of.the Madonna Del Pilar In this little but elegant church there are several pictures of considerable merit. The orie over the high altar is by the illustrious Erardi, and is an admirable representation of the Virgin and Child, with the title of the Pillar. There is a good picture of St. Lawrence at one side of the same altar in the style of G. Ribera, but our attention is especially arrested by a small crucifix painted on copper in the sacristy, remarkable for that extreme delicacy of touch which characterises the style of Guido Reni. There is also in the sacristy a picture of S. Vincent de Paul by Dr. Michael Bellanti. The Church Of The Nuns Of St. Catherine Was built in 1766. The principal pic-ture (the presentation of the B. V. M.) is in the style of Arrigo Arnaux. Most of the other pictures are modern productions by Signori P. Paolo and Raffaele Caruana, and represent various Saints. The Church or B. V. M. Of Liesse Was built in 1740. The principal picture which is one of the B. V. M. with this title, together with the legend of the three Knights of Liesse is one of the best paintings of Arnaud. The Parish Church Oe S. Pubblio, Bishop And Martyr, Floriana Bishop Fr. Paolo Alferan laid the foundation stone of this church on August 2nd H33. The architect was the celebrated Giuseppe Bonnici. It has been since enlarged in the same style by Maestro Carmelo Spiteri, under the superintendence of Sig. Paolo Attard. The picture at the high altar of the Martyrdom of S....
