Le patrie di Guttuso
2021
A trentacinque anni dalla morte di Renato Guttuso, autore che occupa un posto di rilievo nel panorama della pittura del XX secolo, il contributo ne prende in esame la cultura visuale con particolare riferimento alla tradizione siciliana. A partire dalle prove giovanili, al centro di una fortuna controversa, l'articolo offre una disamina della relazione strettissima tra Guttuso e Bagheria ripercorrendo gli esordi dell'artista nel solco della tradizione pittorica tardo-ottocentesca ma non privi di importanti rimandi alla produzione successiva orientata verso una spiccata originalità. Thirty-five years after the death of Renato Guttuso, an author who occupies a prominent place in the panorama …

Conservation state of two paintings in the Santa Margherita cliff cave: role of the environment and of the microbial community
2021
Abstract The conservation of ancient paintings sited in humid environments is an actual challenge for restorers, because it needs the knowledge of the materials the paintings are made up and of their interaction with a peculiar surrounding environment; thus, tailored procedures and strategies aimed at restoring and preserving paintings are necessary. The Santa Margherita’s cave in Castellammare del Golfo (Trapani, Italy) is a natural cave, containing the remains of paintings, in a poor state of conservation, belonging to an ancient church dated back to the Middle Age. The present manuscript reports the monitoring of environmental conditions (i.e., temperature and humidity) in a full year as…
Lucrècia Borja. L'alteració d’una identitat i l’errònia atribució de la pintura de Flora de Bartolomeo Veneto
2017
Resum: Aquest treball preten emfatitzar l’erronia identitat que ha arribat fins als nostres dies de Lucrecia Borja i l’equivocada atribucio que se n’ha fet d’alguns retrats. Com ara, la pintura de Flora (c.1520), pintada per Bartolomeo Veneto, que ha passat a la historia com una indissoluble identificacio de Lucrecia. Els estudis actuals han demostrat que representa un model ideal influit pel context literari probablement relacionat amb Pietro Bembo. Durant el Renaixement, els retrats representen molt mes que una identitat concreta i mimetica. Son suports de prestigi i transmissio ideologica, de virtuts morals, memoria, etc. En l’ambit artistic venecia de principis del segle XVI sorgeixen m…

2014
The documents regarding the Valencian priest Andreu Garcia († November 1452) show a quite interesting character. Garcia’s family belonged to local oligarchy. Moreover, he had a substantial income related with the Cathedral. He had contact, too, with Carthusians, Observant Friars and probably with Beghards (the books of his library suggest this last idea). Garcia took part, as an intermediary or as a sponsor, in many artistic orders that involved the best workers and the best customers of the city. Besides, he had a strong relationship with painters like Simó Llobregat, Jaume Mateu, Gonçal Sarrià and Joan Reixac. The priest could also have practiced painting, judging by the belongings that w…
