Ecce Homo
Lodovico Cardi, conocido como Cigoli (Cigoli, San Miniato 1559 - Roma 1613)
Fecha: 1607
Museo: Palacio Pitti
Recopilación: Galería Palatina
Colocación: Salón de Ulises
Técnica: Pintura al óleo sobre lienzo
Dimensiones: 175x135 cm
Inventario: Inv. 1912 n. 90
La pintura, quizás la más conocida de Ludovico Cigoli y considerada una de sus obras maestras, fue un encargo del noble romano Massimo Massimi. La biografía de Cigoli, escrita por su sobrino en 1628, transmite la noticia -un verdadero topos- del concurso promovido por Massimi que habría enfrentado a tres pintores, Caravaggio, Domenico Passignano y Cigoli, convocándolos a competir sobre un tema cristológico. Cigoli superó a sus oponentes con esta pintura, en la que la preciosidad de la materia pictórica, los damascos, rasos y terciopelos, los refinados efectos cromáticos venecianos, se mezclan con el intenso naturalismo de los rostros, retratados del natural. El ilusionismo perspectivo creado por el parapeto de mármol en primer plano imparte una fuerte teatralidad a la escena, resultado del intercambio continuo entre pintura y escenografía en la Florencia del siglo XVII. La fama del cuadro también está ligada a esta historia, a la gran resonancia que tuvo la obra en comparación con el realismo de Caravaggio, tanto en el contexto artístico romano como florentino. Ya antes de 1630 la obra estaba registrada en la colección florentina de Don Lorenzo de'Medici, y poco después (c. 1638) entró en la colección del Gran Duque de Toscana Fernando II de'Medici. Desde entonces, salvo un breve paréntesis español y la enajenación temporal tras las requisiciones napoleónicas (1799-1815), el lienzo ha permanecido siempre en el Palacio Pitti.

The Penitent Magdalene (detail, 1598) Lodovico Cardi
0 notes

C'è qualcosa di questo quadro che mi ricorda moltissimo il Pontormo, che in effetti Lodovico Cardi detto il Cigoli copiò e di cui subì l'influenza nel suo primo periodo cosiddetto fiorentino. Forse per i toni rosseggianti, sebbene illuminati dall'interno, ho pensato subito a Rosso Fiorentino. Poi, fatte ricerche, direi che le mie impressioni potrebbero essere sensate. Allego immagini per suffragare la mia tesi, aggiungendo la splendida Pietà Baglioni di Raffaello, dalla quale mi pare di veder rispuntare una figura ai piedi di Cristo (il giovane con la benda sul capo).

Rosso Fiorentino, 1521 - Deposizione: si noti il ritmo pieni/vuoti, meno evidente in Cigoli, ma "musicalmente" simile (a mio parere).

Pontormo, Deposizione, 1525. Rimane chiara la filiazione di Cigoli dalle pietà, come questa, ad elevato "verticalismo", mentre la Deposizione Borghese/pietà Baglioni si dipana invece su una dolce e tragica armonia orizzontale:

Pietà Baglioni ovvero Deposizione Borghese, Raffaello Sanzio, 1507.
Posto queste splendide immagini sul blog, sebbene non immediatamente correlate all'argomento principale (Roma) cui mi aggrappo in corner grazie alla Deposizione Borghese, ammirabile a Roma, e grazie alla lezione classica leggibile in tutti questi capolavori, visto che l'arte classica, come il cacio, ci sta sempre bene, e che il dio della storia dell'arte perdoni una dilettante come la sottoscritta per questi rutilanti accostamenti.

Lodovico Cigoli

Convento del Bosco ai Frati (Convento di San Bonaventura) in Mugello, 25 km northeast of Florence
Founded in the 6th or 7th century, donated to the Franciscans in early 1200s, almost completely abandoned In 1349 due to the Black Death plague, closed by Napoleon and then again in 1866 by the government of the newly united Kingdom of Italy, the convent survived all the hard times and is still inhabited by Franciscan friars.
The convent has a Museum of Sacred Art which conserves a wooden Crucifix attributed to Donatello or his workshop (c.1460), commissioned and donated to the convent by the Medici.
Other artworks created for the convent (the three last images in this post) are: - Pala di Bosco ai Frati by Fra Beato Angelico, 1450-1452, now in Museo nazionale di San Marco, Florence - Annunciation attributed to Antonio del Ceraiolo, 16th century - Deposition by an unknown artist, school of Lodovico Cardi (Cigoli), 17th century

Jacob’s Dream - Lodovico Cardi

An engraving of Dante’s encounter with Lucifer/Satan at the end of the Inferno. Illustrators of Dante have given us a number of depictions of Dante’s fallen angel—a monstrous beast with multiple wings and three heads; icy blasts from the wings travel through the circles of Hell—but this is one I’d not seen before. The engraving is by Cornelis Galle the Elder after a drawing by Lodovico Cardi (also known as Cigoli), and it’s unusual for showing Lucifer in full rather than the more common partial view of the monster imprisoned in the ice.
