Around 1555 the Duke of Alba commissioned three life-sized bronze busts by the great Italian Renaissance portraitist Leone Leoni: one of himself and the other two of the Hapsburg emperor Charles V and the emperor's son, Philip II of Spain. Though the busts depict sitters of different rank—an emperor, a king, and a duke—Leoni presents them almost identically, as armored warriors in the cause of the Counter Reformation. For more than a century they have adorned the Guard Chamber at Windsor Castle, surrounded by actual weaponry and armor. Just as victorious Romans piled up the armor of their enemies as offerings to the gods, so George IV (who acquired the busts in 1825) turned these symbols of power into trophies of war.

During the early Renasisance, Piero della Francesca's artistic talents were highly sought after by patrons across the Italian peninsula but nowhere more so than in his hometown of Borgo San Sepolcro. This lecture will explore how Piero gradually transformed the art of painting by applying his pioneering pictorial imagination to the challenge of three gothic polyptychs and by introducing Renaissance-format paintings into the domestic interior with his Virgin and Child Enthroned With Four Angels (featured in the exhibition) and Nativity of Christ (The National Gallery, London). The latter work will be discussed in the context of architectural and pictorial decoration designed by Piero for his family's private palazzo. This lecture is made possible by the Robert H. Smith Family Foundation

Luke Syson, Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Curator in Charge, Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Ticketed event
Organized by The Metropolitan Museum
Location: Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium, Metropolitan Museum
Website

Leonardo worked on a surprisingly small number of works—the Mona Lisa among them—refining and altering them over years. This method created a production bottleneck that could only be dealt with through delegating, leaving us with the problem of how we distinguish a fully autograph product from a painting made in the workshop. This lecture by Luke Syson (organizer of the triumphant exhibition Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan, at London's National Gallery) explores artistic production, collaboration, and delegation, and will track Leonardo's personal journey from a solitary artist to a collaborator working with pupils, assistants, and peers, and back.

"Leonardo da Vinci: Rethinking Leonardo in his Old Age
Carmen Bambach, Curator, Department of Drawings and Prints, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Ticketed event
Organized by The Metropolitan Museum
Location: Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium, Metropolitan Museum
Website

The late years of Leonardo da Vinci have often been minimized in comparison to his achievements in Florence and Milan. This may be because it's sometimes fashionable to consider an artist's production in old age past its prime or merely a replication of earlier, more successfully received work. In this talk, Carmen Bambach (who organized the Met's seminal 2003 exhibition Leonardo da Vinci, Master Draftsman) examines Leonardo's later years and the riches of his interior life and his concrete, multifaceted production as an artist-thinker. What lies at front and center in the work of Leonardo's old age is the unfinished dimension of his thought and production.

More often celebrated as a painter, Piero della Francesca was also a pioneering mathematician. This lecture will discuss Piero's achievements as a mathematician, focusing on his precocious mastery of the teachings of the Greek geometrician Archimedes. Shortly after his death, Luca Pacioli, a Franciscan friar, published two of Piero's treatises under his own name and conveyed Piero's knowledge of geometry to Leonardo da Vinci, who later became an expert in the subject.

The landscapes in Piero's paintings, particularly his Baptism of Christ (National Gallery, London), are often thought to recall the area around his hometown of Borgo San Sepolcro. In truth, they evoke the upper Tiber Valley without describing it precisely. But what did it mean to locate sacred scenes in a recognizable and local setting? Did that landscape carry any connotations for the fifteenth-century residents of Borgo San Sepolcro that might be lost to us today?

During a career spanning nearly sixty years, Piero della Francesca worked in almost every major center across the Italian peninsula although nowhere did he accept more commissions than in Borgo San Sepolcro. Like his native city, Piero's paintings are possessed of a character that is neither Florentine nor Sienese but entirely unique. On the closing weekend of the special exhibition, the show's curator will discuss Piero's career in Borgo and explore how some of his masterpieces created for that city reached American shores.

Leonardo's Mary Magdalene: An Ideal of Painting and the Power of Love

The Music Room, The Frick Collection, 1 East 70th St, New York, NY
Website

Leonardo da Vinci's fragmentary sheet depicting Mary Magdalene—which will be included in the special exhibition Mantegna to Matisse—is among the artist's most beautiful and least studied drawings. From this small sketch came his revolutionary portraits The Lady with an Ermine and La Belle Ferronniere, and later his mysteriously moving Saint John the Baptist. With these works, Leonardo demonstrated how painting could occupy a space between the sacred and the profane, the real and the imagined, the present and the remote, and the actual and the implied.

Exhibition Tour: Bernini—Sculpting in Clay
Paola D'Agostino, Senior Research Associate, Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gallery 964, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY
Website

To visualize lifesize or colossal marbles, the great Roman Baroque sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) began by making small, spirited clay models. Fired as terracotta, these studies and related drawings preserve the first traces of the thought process that evolved into some of the most famous statuary in the city, including the fountains in the Piazza Navona and the angels on the Ponte Sant'Angelo. This exhibition assembles for the first time some fifty of these bozzetti and modelli, as well as thirty chalk or pen sketches alongside three small-scale bronzes and a marble group. Through connoisseurship and a comprehensive campaign of scientific examination, the selection of models addresses the issue of what separates the hand of the master from the production of his large workshop.

Between 1440 and 1457 Francesco Pesellino painted for the Medici family and Pope Nicholas V, quickly earning himself a remarkable reputation in Florence. He died young, however, leaving behind few documented works. Rediscovered at the turn of the twentieth century and championed by connoisseurs such as Bernard Berenson, his jewel-like paintings fetched exceptional prices, including a record-breaking £10,000 in 1896 for his masterpiece, the Battle and Triumph of David (1452–55). This lecture will explore Pesellino's fascinating career and problematic rediscovery, revealing his pioneering role in the development of spalliera paintings, a new genre of Renaissance art.

In this lecture Eleonora Luciano—a co-curator of the current special exhibition—will explore Antico's artistic milieu, notably the overpowering presence of Andrea Mantegna, and will delve into the complexities of the sculptor's relationships with his Gonzaga patrons, including the renowned Isabella d'Este. Gian Marco Cavalli, a little-known goldsmith who was a collaborator of both Antico and Mantegna as well as a Gonzaga dependent, emerges as a key figure in the relationship between the two more famous artists.

Organized by The Frick Collection
The Music Room, The Frick Collection, 1 East 70th St, New York, NY
Website

Early Renaissance masters of bronze, like Antico, whose works traditionally have been studied only by specialists, often require the attention of international exhibitions before they are propelled from the margins of art history into the scholarly mainstream. On the closing weekend of Antico: The Golden Age of Renaissance Bronzes, the show's New York curator will examine recent exhibitions devoted to the artist, including the Frick presentation. She will discuss the ideas that guided the selection of works and the format of the catalogues; how the exhibitions contribute to a better understanding of the artist and his oeuvre; and some of the questions about Antico that still remain.  This lecture is made possible by the Robert H. Smith Family Foundation.

The Renaissance Portrait from Donatello to Bellini: An exhibition seminar for graduate students
Speakers: Keith Christiansen and Andrea Bayer, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Patricia Rubin, Institute of Fine Arts, and graduate student participants

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY
Open primarily to graduate students (and others if space permits); reservation required. Organized by the New York Renaissance Consortium.

Keith Christiansen, John Pope-Hennessy Chairman, and Andrea Bayer, Curator, both of the Department of European Paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Patricia Rubin, Judy and Michael Steinhardt Director of the Institute of Fine Arts, in collaboration with the New York Renaissance Consortium invite graduate students to participate in a seminar held in conjunction with the exhibition The Renaissance Portrait from Donatello to Bellini, on view through March 18 in the second floor Special Exhibition galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The group will meet in the galleries while the museum is closed to the public, where Keith Christiansen, Andrea Bayer and Patricia Rubin will lead in-depth discussions of the objects and of issues raised by the exhibition, such as Renaissance constructions of the individual, the politics of representation, the import of material and dimensionality, costume and pose, the significance of likeness, regional variations, and the historiography of portraiture.

Participants will be expected to have spent time in the exhibition and with the accompanying catalogue prior to the seminar, and are encouraged to consider related areas of interest in light of this extraordinary assembly of some of the finest drawn, painted and sculpted portraits of fifteenth-century Italy. The seminar will take place Monday, March 5 at 11:00 AM and last approximately two hours. Because discussion will be based on immediate reference to the works of art themselves, participation is limited to 20. The seminar is intended primarily for graduate students, but others will be allowed if space permits.

To register, please send an email to [email protected] with your name and affiliation.

Tuesday, March 6, 6:30-8 p.m.
Piero's Realism
Speakers: Joost Keizer, Assistant Professor, History of Art, Yale University

19 University Place, Room 222, New York
Free and open to the public. Organized by the New York University Medieval and Renaissance Center.

A cult of realism re-emerged in European art in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, at the same time that artworks began to be attributed to individual artists. Paintings produced under the conditions of verisimilitude—literally, resemblance to truth—deny the fact that they are made things in order not to destroy the illusion that they perfectly imitate the real. In this talk, I will argue that painting's concern with hiding its manufacture prevented the period from formulating a strong model of individual style. Rather than understanding the authorship of painting by looking at how a picture showed, early Renaissance culture looked at what it showed. Using the art of Piero della Francesca as a relevant test case, my presentation explores the possibility that the artist's contemporaries understood painting as an index of the artist's lifeworld.

Thursday, March 8, 6-7:30 p.m.
The Fictions of Fashion in Early Modern Italy: From Costume Books to Satires (1590-1648)

Graduate seminar on Borghini, Vasari, and Disegno: Experiencing and Understanding Drawings through Sixteenth-Century Eyes
Instructor: Dr. Rick Scorza, Thaw Senior Fellow, The Drawing Institute at the Morgan Library & Museum

Application required. Organized by The Drawing Institute, Drawing Study Center and North Parlor, The Morgan Library & Museum, 225 Madison Avenue, New York

Participants will look closely at Italian Renaissance drawings in the Morgan's collection in an attempt to see them as they were viewed and understood by the sixteenth-century historian and iconographer Vincenzo Borghini and his friend, the artist-biographer Giorgio Vasari, two of the earliest collectors of drawings. Discussion will focus on issues of connoisseurship and attribution, as well as Vasari's principles of disegno and pictorial invention. Participants will be instructed in the basic visual and textual tools necessary to fruitfully navigate the early historiography of sixteenth-century Italian drawing. In the spirit of the subject, no laptops are permitted—only pencil, paper, and the drawings themselves.

The seminar is open to graduate students in the history of art. Interested participants are kindly invited to submit a one paragraph statement which should include the following:

• Academic institution
• Class year
• Field of study
• Interest in drawings
• Reason/s for wanting to participate in the seminar

A brief recommendation from the student's advisor is suggested but not required. Lunch is included. There is no charge to attend. [email protected]

Ambitious Form: a conversation with the author
Participants: Michael Cole, Professor of Art History, Columbia University, and Alina Payne, Professor of History of Art, Harvard University

Stronach Center, 8th floor, Schermerhorn Hall
Organized by The New York Renaissance Consortium and Columbia University; free and open to the public

The New York Renaissance Consortium is pleased to host a conversation with Michael Cole, author of Ambitious Form (Princeton University Press, 2011). The book describes the transformation of Italian sculpture during the neglected half century between the death of Michelangelo and the rise of Bernini. The book follows the Florentine careers of three major sculptors—Giambologna, Bartolomeo Ammanati, and Vincenzo Danti—as they negotiated the politics of the Medici court and eyed one another's work, setting new aims for their art in the process. Only through a comparative look at Giambologna and his contemporaries, it argues, can we understand them individually—or understand the period in which they worked. Attendees are encouraged to come with comments and questions, as a generous portion of the event will be given over to discussion between audience members and the authors. A reception will follow.

Sunday, September 25, 3 p.m.
