Gustav Klimt's Portrait of Elisabeth Lederer (1914-16) sold for the second highest price ever realised at auction at Sotheby's in New York on Tuesday. It was the most notable of several big sales in the sold-out (or “white-glove”) auction of 24 works from the collection of the late billionaire Leonard Lauder, and has prompted some commentators to declare that the art market has turned a corner following a prolonged downturn. Ben Luke speaks to The Art Newspaper's senior art market editor in the Americas, Carlie Porterfield, about this week's auctions, and asks if they do mark a turning point in the art market's fortunes. Cop 30, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, is taking place in Belém, Brazil, and ends on Friday. To coincide with the conference, the Gallery Climate Coalition is publishing a Stocktake Report, in which it gives hard data on the efforts of its members to reduce their carbon emissions. The Art Newspaper's contemporary art correspondent in London, Louisa Buck, who is a co-founder of the coalition, tells Ben more. And this episode's Work of the Week is Victorious Cupid (1601-02) by Caravaggio, a landmark work by the artist, made at the height of his fame in Rome. The painting is making a rare journey from its home at the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin to the Wallace Collection in London, where it is at the centre of an exhibition opening next week. Ben talks to the collection's director, Xavier Bray, about the painting.Caravaggio's Cupid, Wallace Collection, London, 26 November-12 April 2026 Hosted on Acast.

HT2446 - Caravaggio Ignored His Eyes Caravaggio, the Italian painter from the 16th century, is well known for his use of a technique called "foreshortening." Today we would call it " focus stacking." It's curious to me that this view of the world is impossible for the human eye. Essentially, Caravaggio had to ignore his eyes and what he saw in order to paint using this technique that seems so real.

In this episode of Big Blend Radio's “Quiltripping Travel with Rose” podcast, travel writer and photographer Rose Palmer takes us on a captivating journey through Malta, the independent island nation nestled between Sicily and North Africa. With a history stretching back over 5,000 years, Malta is a treasure trove of cultural influences, architectural marvels, and remarkable resilience. Explore the breathtaking St. John's Cathedral in Valletta—with its stunning Baroque design and an iconic Caravaggio painting—along with the island's fortified structures built by the Knights of St. John. Rose digs into Malta's pivotal role during World War II, from the extensive bombing campaigns to the underground shelters that protected its people. Hear about the Arabic roots of the Maltese language, the ancient texts preserved in the National Library of Malta (some dating to 1474), and the island's fascinating Neolithic history. Rose also highlights the vibrant lifestyle of Valletta, its UNESCO World Heritage designation, and the enduring spirit of the Maltese people. Whether you're a history buff, culture seeker, or curious traveler, this episode offers a rich glimpse into what makes Malta a must-visit Mediterranean destination.
From my opinion on the recently discovered paintings attributed to Caravaggio, to the influence of Hadrian's Villa on Borromini's architecture, to a possible connection between Caravaggio's "Burial of St. Lucy" and the movie "Schindler's List," to why Michelangelo's "David" is more famous than Bernini's, and much, much more - this episode answers the very questions that you ask me about the great art, artists, and history of the Italian Renaissance.

It includes portraits of Pope Innocent X by Velasquez and Bernini, as well as two of Caravaggio's earliest paintings – the "Penitent Magdalene" and the "Rest on the Flight into Egypt."
A Diocese de Criciúma divulgou nesta semana as mudanças no clero, a criação de novas paróquias e as ordenações previstas para o ano de 2026. As alterações, determinadas pelo bispo Dom Jacinto Inácio Flach, têm como objetivo atender às necessidades pastorais da região e fortalecer a presença da Igreja nas comunidades. Entre as mudanças anunciadas, está a Paróquia Imaculado Coração de Maria, em Lauro Müller. O atual pároco, padre Deonor Vieira do Nascimento, e o vigário, padre José Lino Buss, encerrarão suas atividades no município ao final deste ano de 2025. Padre Deonor seguirá para a Paróquia Santo Antônio de Pádua, em Sombrio, enquanto padre Lino assumirá como administrador interno do Convívio Sacerdotal São João Maria Vianey. Para conduzir os trabalhos pastorais em Lauro Müller, foi designado o padre Júnior Sangaletti De Marchi, que chegará à cidade em fevereiro de 2026. Ordenado sacerdote em junho deste ano, ele tem como lema de ordenação o versículo do Evangelho de São Mateus: “Onde estiver o teu tesouro, aí estará também o teu coração” (Mt 6,21). A caminhada vocacional do novo pároco teve início em 2014, quando ingressou no Instituto São Pio X da Ordem dos Orionitas. Depois, passou pelo Seminário Diocesano Nossa Senhora de Caravaggio, cursou Filosofia no SEFISC e Teologia no Seminário Teológico Bom Pastor, concluindo os estudos na Faculdade Católica de Santa Catarina (FACASC) em 2024. Além da formação religiosa, padre Júnior também se especializou em Administração e Gestão Hospitalar, reforçando seu compromisso com o serviço em diferentes áreas da sociedade. Sua experiência pastoral inclui passagens por diversas paróquias: Nossa Senhora da Imaculada Conceição, em Blumenau; Senhor Bom Jesus, em Camboriú e Palhoça; Nossa Senhora de Fátima, em Criciúma; e Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora, em Balneário Gaivota. Atualmente, ele atua como vigário na Paróquia Nossa Senhora de Fátima, na Cidade Mineira, em Criciúma. Durante entrevista concedida nesta terça-feira (4) ao programa Cruz de Malta Notícias, padre Júnior falou sobre sua expectativa em iniciar o trabalho pastoral na comunidade lauromüllense, destacando o desejo de servir com amor e caminhar junto ao povo de Deus. Junto com ele, virá também o seminarista Marco Antonio Scarpari Amboni, que será ordenado diácono no dia 27 de dezembro, integrando a equipe pastoral da Paróquia Imaculado Coração de Maria a partir do próximo ano.
Nick Jeffery and John Granger do a Compare and Contrast test of the latest Cormoran Strike novel, The Hallmarked Man, and the previous seven books in Rowling-Galbraith's longest series of novels. Adapting a list of ‘Greatest Hits' moments from the first ‘Reading, Writing, Rowling' podcast John did with Katie McDaniel and a panel of Potter Pundits in Roanoke, Virginia, Nick and John share their favorite moments first from the series and then from Strike 8 before contrasting the quality of these highlights.The point of the exercise? Besides being a fun review of Strike-Ellacott adventures, a Greatest Hits collection of their highs and lows, Agency cases and sub-contractors included, the absence of any Hallmarked Man moments that merit a ‘Best in Series' badge suggests that Strike 8 will be remembered best for how it set up Strikes 9 and 10.Whatever your thoughts about that thesis, please share the scenes on your Greatest Hits list, both for the series and Hallmarked Man, per the numbered categories below. Nick and John have a few more to run through that they couldn't get to on their first ‘go' at this; feel free to share categories they should discuss in addition to the ones listed here:* Top Strike-Ellacott Moments* Ellacott taking care of wrecked Strike* Strike taking care of wrecked Ellacott* The Two having a frank conversation about the Agency, their vocation* The Two having a frank conversation about life and their relationship* Top Mystery Reveal* Top Agency Subcontractor moment* Top Agency case not the focus of the novel* Top Strike Confront-the-Killer moment,* Top “Magical” Moment (heart-rending/opening)* Top Moment-that-We-didn't-know-was-a-Moment-until-later* Top Saving People MomentJohn is working on his charting of Hallmarked Man for the paid subscriber list as well as reviewing and revising his 2017 online course, ‘Wizard Reading Formula.' More on those projects and the Kanreki Series in his next conversation with Nick; stay tuned!Links to Ideas, Posts, and Theories Mentioned* Roanoke ‘Reading, Writing, Rowling' Harry Potter Review[‘reading, Writing, Rowling's] first episode was recorded at CoLab in Roanoke, Virginia, at the May 2017 Roanoke Harry Potter Fest and celebrates 20 years of Harry Potter. Listen to a stellar crew of Hogwarts professors discuss [with hosts John Granger and Katy McDaniel] their favorite moments in the Harry Potter series, inspired by Bloomsbury Publishing's recent reader poll. Guests Louise Freeman, Elizabeth Baird Hardy, Emily Strand, and Lana Whited identify the best moments featuring the trio friendship, surprises and narrative misdirection, wizard magic, Snape, texts-within-the-text, and those inspirational messages that make the Harry Potter series profound and emotionally resonant to readers worldwide.* Rowling's Favorite Painting and What It Suggests about Her Artistry and Meaning: Caravaggio's ‘Supper at Emmaus'Professor Groves suggests strongly that what Rowling took away from her “mesmerised” “slow mining” of Caravaggio's Supper at Emmaus was the central Mystery of the Incarnation of Christ, the “guiler beguiled” idea of Aulen's Christus Victor. I find that argument compelling and want to build on it. There are embedded symbols in Supper at Emmaus that I think the fascinated Rowling would have noticed as she looked at the painting in the National Gallery, at the print on her wall in Exeter and London, and at the image on her first website, symbols beyond the “realism” of the Christ as imagined by Caravaggio and the revelation at the breaking of bread of His divinity.* Robin is Sterile Prediction: Chlamydia to Ectopic Pregnancy (December 2023)The thesis of this Hogwarts Professor essay — what I hope will be the subject of our second ‘Rowling Studies' podcast here — is that Robin Venetia Ellacott will not have children with Murphy, Strike, or any other partner, because she cannot, at least not without some extraordinary efforts via in vitro conception and surrogacy. I will attempt to explain how this infertility is possible, to detail the ‘Lake' suggestions from Rowling's life and personal experience that shows she is more than familiar with this condition among women, and to share the ‘Shed' literary markers in Running Grave and Rowling's other novels that this is indeed what she has in mind for Strike's partner Robin.Means Before Motive: How is it Possible that Robin is Sterile?In a word, “Chlamydia.”* The Hallmarked Man's Mythological Template ‘Cupid and Psyche's importance for grasping the depths of Strike 8, from the “necessity” of the Silver Vault and the three men in Robin's life, to spaghetti carbonara and ‘Maid of the Silver Sea' (links list to previous posts, 2021-present on this subject)* Charlotte Was Murdered, Mate; It Wasn't a Suicide* The Strange Death of Charlotte Campbell: Could the Psycho-Ex be the Focus of a Murder Investigation in Strike 8? (Nick Jeffery, November 2023)* Strike8: The Charlotte Campbell Murder Mystery: Nick Jeffery's Idea Checks a Lot of Boxes (John Granger, November 2023)* The Mysterious Death of Charlotte Campbell: Was It Suicide or Was It Murder? The ‘Rowling Studies' Pilot Episode (December 2023)* J. S. Maleksen's Re-read of Running Grave in Search of Ryan MurphyAfter reading HM twice, I re-read ‘Running Grave' with this theory in mind. It occurred to me that RFM might have read Charlotte's suicide note because it was in the police file. He might have even read through statements made by Charlotte's family members about Charlotte's relationship with Strike. At the very least, he would have read that Strike was in love with Robin and may have even bought into the ‘Strike was abusive to Charlotte' narrative and the ‘Strike has been in a romantic relationship with Robin since he broke up with Charlotte' narrative. This would explain why RFM is significantly more chippy towards Strike after Robin returns from Chapman Farm than he was at the beginning of ‘Running Grave.' Come to think of it, if Nick's theory is right and the suicide was a murder, it's quite possible that RFM may have been the lead investigator because, as we now know, he kinda sucks at his job. RFM would have had no reason to disclose any of this information to Robin because “she gets ratty every time he says anything against Strike.” Details identifying the investigating officer may not have been published. Alternatively, Iverson could have been the investigating officer and she could have shared this information with RFM and RFM can't tell Robin how he got the information because he had a fling with Iverson while Robin was at Chapman Farm.This might lead to an explanation as to why/how RFM fell off the wagon (guilt about having cheated on Robin and/or fear that Robin hasn't been honest about her relationship with Strike and/or his perception that Robin is being cowed by an abusive Strike)It makes sense to me that the period of time when Robin was at Chapman Farm is the most plausible and likely spot for JKR to have buried details about RFM, and his true character and motivations. The story as told from Robin and Strike's respective points of view intentionally distracted us from what RFM was up to during Robin's time at Chapman Farm. Indeed, he was often an afterthought of Robin's if she even thought about him at all.Incidentally, this makes the ‘RFM as gorilla man theory' more plausible because walking around with all of this information in his head could have motivated RFM to take extreme measures to get Robin to abandon Strike and the agency.I love your Substack and Podcast.

Sofia VillanoIl "divino" Guido Reni In occasione del 450° anniversario della nascita,l'esposizione presenta un nucleo di opere che documenta l'apprezzamento della corte sabauda, fin dalla nascita delle collezioni ducali e nel corso dei secoli, tra il Seicento e l'Ottocento, per l'arte di Guido Reni. Per la prima volta, dopo un complesso intervento di restauro, viene presentata la pala raffigurante l'Assunzione della Vergine, riscoperta nella chiesa parrocchiale di Abbadia Alpina, frazione di Pinerolo (TO), testimonianza della prima attività romana dell'artista. A cura di Annamaria Bava e Sofia Villano.Fino al 18 gennaio 2026, nello Spazio Scoperte dei Musei Reali di Torino, al secondo piano della Galleria Sabauda, la mostra Il “divino” Guido Reni nelle collezioni sabaude e sugli altari del Piemonte rende omaggio al pittore emiliano, in occasione dei 450 anni dalla sua nascita. La rassegna, curata da Annamaria Bava e Sofia Villano, presenta oltre venti opere tra dipinti, disegni e incisioni che documentano le diverse fasi della carriera del pittore, dagli anni giovanili alla piena maturità. Al nucleo di opere provenienti dalle collezioni dei Musei Reali, si aggiungono tre significativi prestiti dal territorio piemontese e dal Musée des Augustins di Tolosa.L'esposizione illustra l'apprezzamento della corte sabauda, fin dalla nascita delle collezioni ducali, per la pittura classicista bolognese e nello specifico per l'arte di Guido Reni (1575-1642), che già i suoi contemporanei chiamavano “il divino Guido”. Lo stile di Guido Reni, composto e luminoso, incentrato sull'armonia delle forme e sulla celebrazione di una bellezza ideale desunta dai modelli scultorei dell'antichità e dall'arte sublime dei grandi maestri del Rinascimento, doveva essere particolarmente congeniale alla ricerca di maestosità ed eleganza nella progettazione della decorazione e dell'arredo delle residenze sabaude e degli altari di corte. Il percorso espositivo si apre con le opere del maestro entrate nelle collezioni ducali nel Seicento; tra queste, le due versioni di Marsia scorticato da Apollo: quella originariamente collocata nella “Camera delle Muse” del Palazzo Ducale, successivamente requisita dalle truppe napoleoniche nel 1799 e attualmente al Musée des Augustins di Tolosa, e la sua replica seicentesca conservata nella Galleria Sabauda. L'invenzione si distingue per la forza con cui Guido Reni traduce in immagine un celebre episodio tratto dalle Metamorfosi di Ovidio, ovvero la punizione inflitta da Apollo al satiro Marsia, colpevole di aver osato sfidarlo in una gara musicale. La composizione è dominata dalla figura idealizzata di Apollo, incarnazione della bellezza classica e della razionalità divina, in netto contrasto con il corpo martoriato e il volto straziato di Marsia, simbolo della tracotanza punita.Oltre che per la sua forza visiva, il dipinto si segnala per il valore simbolico: la vittoria dell'intelletto e dell'armonia apollinea sulla brutalità e sull'eccesso, un tema caro alla cultura dell'epoca e in linea con le riflessioni che dovevano svolgersi nell'Accademia romana dei Desiosi, fondata dal cardinale Maurizio di Savoia, che ricevette in dono l'opera originale dal cardinale Alessandro d'Este per legato testamentario.Appassionato mecenate e raffinato collezionista, il principe cardinale Maurizio di Savoia, soggiornò per lunghi periodi a Roma, dove ebbe modo di frequentare gli ambienti culturali della corte di papa Urbano VIII Barberini. Grande estimatore della pittura classicista, a lui si devono importanti commissioni ad artisti bolognesi, spesso legate a sofisticate e complesse scene allegoriche.Alla committenza del prelato sabaudo si può far risalire la tela con San Maurizio che riceve la palma del martirio, proveniente dal Santuario di Santa Maria dei Laghi di Avigliana (TO), luogo di antica devozione mariana e meta di pellegrinaggi, sostenuto dai Savoia con doni e offerte nel corso del Seicento come strumento di legittimazione religiosa e politica. L'impianto figurativo vede San Maurizio al centro della scena, in uniforme da legionario romano, con il volto circondato da un'aura luminosa che ne sottolinea la santità. Deposta la spada ai suoi piedi, riceve la palma del martirio da un cherubino, mentre sullo sfondo si scorge la drammatica battaglia della legione tebana da lui guidata. Nel percorso artistico di Guido Reni, il San Maurizio si colloca negli anni 1615 - 1618, in un momento di transizione nel linguaggio del maestro, dal rigore classicista del periodo precedente verso una pittura più morbida e pastosa. Un piccolo olio su rame che ritrae un'allegoria della Fama, caratterizzato da una grande raffinatezza cromatica e formale, apparteneva invece agli averi personali della duchessa di Savoia Cristina di Francia, vedova di Vittorio Amedeo I, che forse lo aveva ricevuto in dono alla fine del 1638 dal marchese Filippo San Martino d'Agliè, suo intimo consigliere. Considerata opera autografa di Guido Reni nei primi inventari e cataloghi a stampa della Reale Galleria di Torino, La Fama sembrerebbe piuttosto attribuibile alla mano di Giovanni Giacomo Sementi, collaboratore del maestro bolognese. Altre importanti tele di Guido Reni appartenevano alle raccolte di pittura del principe Eugenio di Savoia Soissons, abilissimo stratega, comandante in capo dell'esercito asburgico, ma anche raffinato bibliofilo e collezionista di opere d'arte, tra cui alte testimonianze della pittura bolognese di gusto classicista, conservate nelle sue dimore viennesi, il Palazzo di Città e la magnifica residenza extraurbana del Belvedere. Tra i dipinti confluiti nelle collezioni reali dopo la sua morte, grazie all'acquisto di re Carlo Emanuele III, e tuttora esposte in Galleria Sabauda, spiccano il San Giovanni Battista, capolavoro della tarda maturità dell'artista, il San Girolamo, collocabile anch'esso all'ultimo periodo della sua produzione e la Morte di Lucrezia, tema particolarmente frequentato dal pittore.Giunge, invece, dalle raccolte del ramo cadetto dei Savoia Carignano e viene trasferito nel Palazzo Reale di Torino nel 1831 per volere del re Carlo Alberto, il quadro raffigurante una Lotta tra amorini e putti baccanti. L'opera è considerata una seconda versione, verosimilmente autografa, della tela di analogo soggetto eseguita da Guido Reni per il marchese Ludovico Facchinetti di Bologna, oggi conservata alla Galleria Doria Pamphilj di Roma. Una parte della rassegna è dedicata a significativi esempi dell'attività incisoria di Guido Reni appartenenti al fondo di grafica della Galleria Sabauda, come una Madonna con Bambino e san Giovannino e una Sacra famiglia con due angeli in volo, composizioni ariose, di grande eleganza formale e dal segno sicuro e leggero, colme di un sentimento di devozione e tenerezza. I legami del maestro con l'editoria sono documentati dai Dissegni degl'apparati fatti in Bologna per la venuta di N.S. Papa Clemente VIII l'anno MDXCVIII intagliati da Guido Reni, pubblicati per la prima volta a Bologna nel 1598 da Vittorio Benacci, e di cui la Galleria Sabauda conserva il frontespizio e nove tavole dell'edizione senza data stampata sempre a Bologna presso Gioseffo Longhi.A questi fogli, si aggiungono due raffinati disegni a carboncino e pietra rossa attribuiti a Guido Reni presenti nelle raccolte della Biblioteca Reale: uno Studio per una testa di frate in estasi e uno Studio di testa di giovane donna avente sul verso Studi di mani, che mostrano la straordinaria maestria e inventiva del pittore per il tratto delicato, attento alla grazia delle espressioni, all'equilibrio delle proporzioni e alla resa morbida e sfumata del chiaroscuro. La mostra si completa con l'esposizione della maestosa pala raffigurante l'Assunzione della Vergine, appena riscoperta nella chiesa parrocchiale di Abbadia Alpina, frazione di Pinerolo (TO). La presenza del dipinto di Guido Reni fin dall'inizio del Seicento nell'antica e ricchissima abbazia benedettina intitolata a Santa Maria, riedificata nel XVIII secolo e oggi chiesa parrocchiale di San Verano, dà conto di un episodio di committenza di grande interesse. La tela giunse in Piemonte grazie al desiderio dell'abate Ruggero Tritonio di omaggiare la chiesa, di cui nel 1589 era divenuto abate commendatario, abbellendola con l'invio da Roma di un'opera appositamente richiesta a Guido Reni e da lui realizzata tra il 1605 e il 1606.Il dipinto viene esposto al pubblico per la prima volta dopo un complesso intervento di restauro, eseguito dal Laboratorio di Cesare Pagliero sotto la direzione della Soprintendenza Archeologia Belle Arti e Paesaggio per la città metropolitana di Torino, con il sostegno del Ministero della Cultura e della Diocesi di Pinerolo. La tela costituisce un tassello importante della fortuna del maestro emiliano sul territorio piemontese e documenta una preziosa testimonianza della prima attività romana dell'artista, quando il giovane pittore entra in contatto anche con la moderna pittura di Caravaggio.

Se la tua crush è una di quelle che sospira davanti alle luci caravaggesche, dicendo che Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio “sapeva catturare l'anima”, falle un favore: ricordale che lui quell'anima la tirava fuori sì, ma a cazzotti. Perché il suo bel Caravaggio non fu solo genio della pittura barocca, ma anche habitué dei tribunali, con un curriculum criminale da far impallidire Babygang.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Part of the Ambrosian Library in Milan, Italy, the Ambrosian Art Gallery was founded along with the library by the celebrated Cardinal Federico Borromini in 1609 to house his extensive collection of manuscripts, books, and paintings. The collection today includes “The Portrait of a Musician” attributed by many to Leonardo da Vinci, the “Cartoon for the School of Athens” by Raphael, and “The Basket of Fruit” by Caravaggio. In addition to these great masterpieces, the Ambrosian Art Gallery is also home to the world largest collection of drawings and writings by Leonardo da Vinci, known as the Codex Atlanticus.
Peter Doig talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Doig, who was born in Edinburgh in 1959 but grew up in Trinidad and Canada, has created a relentlessly inventive and evolving body of paintings over the past 40 years. Informed by memory, by Doig's own photographs and found images, by an intimate knowledge and interpretation of art history, by a profound response to place and architecture, and by images and moods evoking diverse cultural forms beyond visual art, his works possess a poetic and sonorous sense of feeling and atmosphere. Often realised over many years, each painting is unique rather than part of a series, even if it shares recurring iconography with other pieces. Fundamentally concerned with figuration, Doig draws on a vast range of painterly approaches from resonant stains to thick impasto, stretching his medium to its full expressive potential and into the realms of abstraction. He has said that he wants painting to be a world unto itself and perhaps no other artist of the past few decades has created such a distinctive language for achieving that aim. Indeed, so widespread is his influence that one might describe a painterly strand in recent art around the globe as Doigian. Across his career, Peter's work has been informed by a passionate engagement with music. He has said: “Music, being an invisible art form, is open to interpretation within the mind's eye, and reflections from the mind's eye are often what I'm attempting to depict in my work.” He achieves a particular tonality and ambience that evoke his aspiration to the condition of that artform, a factor emphasised in House of Music, the exhibition at the Serpentine South until 8 February 2026. He discusses several of the paintings in that show in depth, and reflects on his changing response to Trinidad, where he was based between 2002 and 2019, and his references in the paintings to the “residues of imperialism”. Among much else, he discusses the early influence of Edward Burra, his enduring fascination with Henri Matisse, his response to early graffiti art in New York, and his current fascination with Caravaggio's Beheading of St John the Baptist (1608). He talks about his friendship and collaboration with the poet Derek Walcott and the importance to his work of STUDIOFILMCLUB, the repertory cinema he founded in his Port of Spain studio with Che Lovelace. Plus, he gives insight into his life in the studio, and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: “what is art for?”Peter Doig: House of Music, Serpentine South, London, until 8 February 2026. There are a number of Sound Service events on Sundays through the length of the exhibition, as well as other evening sessions. Visit serpentinegalleries.org to find out more. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of What's My Thesis?, Los Angeles–based painter Elmer Guevara returns to the podcast ahead of his upcoming exhibition at Charlie James Gallery. Known for his densely layered figurative paintings, Guevara reflects on how memory, history, and inherited trauma shape his visual language. The conversation traces his evolution from graffiti to oil painting, his deep engagement with South Central Los Angeles, and the ways he reconstructs the 1992 Los Angeles uprisings through scenes of everyday life. Blending autobiography with collective history, Guevara explores how painting can act as both a historical record and emotional archive, layering his family's Salvadoran experience with the city's shifting social landscape. Host Javier Proenza and Guevara discuss the aesthetics of the working-class home, the ethics of representing trauma, and the enduring influence of Caravaggio, Bay Area Figuration, and documentary photography on his approach to storytelling. What emerges is a portrait of an artist using realism and symbolism to reimagine how communities remember themselves. Listen for insights on painting, social history, and the emotional terrain of Los Angeles—then see Guevara's new work on view at Charlie James Gallery, opening October 25.
Emilio Russo"Un Papa poeta"Maffeo Barberini e la cultura di primo SeicentoCon saggi di Emilio Russo, Clizia Carminati, Roberta Ferro, Marco Leone e Saverio RicciOfficina Librariawww.officinalibraria.netMaffeo Barberini (Firenze, 1568-Roma, 1644), divenuto pontefice con il nome di Urbano VIII nel 1623, è una figura fondamentale per la cultura del primo Seicento. Ancora prima di diventare papa, Barberini è protagonista di un percorso letterario che lo porta in contatto con alcuni tra i più importanti scrittori e pensatori contemporanei, da Giovan Battista Marino a Gabriello Chiabrera, da Galileo Galilei a Tommaso Campanella. Né va dimenticato che in quei primi mesi del secolo Maffeo è attivo come mecenate, ed è persino capace di avvicinare con successo un artista di prima grandezza come Caravaggio, dal quale ottiene un ritratto e soprattutto il capolavoro rappresentato dal Sacrificio di Isacco, oggi agli Uffizi. Il volume, articolato in cinque saggi di Emilio Russo, Clizia Carminati, Roberta Ferro, Marco Leone e Saverio Ricci, illustra le diverse opere di Barberini, tra rime volgari e carmi latini, oltre ai suoi legami con la stagione del primo Barocco in Italia.Emilio Russo è professore ordinario di Letteratura italiana alla «Sapienza» Università di Roma. Le sue ricerche si concentrano su autori del Rinascimento e del Barocco (Ariosto, Tasso, Marino), oltre che dell'Ottocento (Leopardi, Nievo). Ha pubblicato, tra gli altri, Studi su Tasso e Marino (2005), Marino (2008), Guida alla lettura della «Gerusalemme liberata» di Tasso (2014), Ridere del mondo. La lezione di Leopardi (2017). Nel 2024 ha co-curato la mostra Poesia e pittura nel Seicento.

Located in Milan, Italy, and inaugurated on Napoleon's birthday on August 15, 1812, the Pinacoteca di Brera (Brera Art Gallery) contains one of the world's most important collections of Italian Renaissance painting. This second episode explores masterpieces by Piero della Francesca, Raphael, and Caravaggio.

Born in chaos, driven by passion, and hunted by his past, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio turned paint into confession. His art shocked Rome with its brutal honesty and divine beauty, forever changing how the world saw light, flesh, and faith. But behind every masterpiece stood a man at war with himself — violent, brilliant, and desperate for redemption.Support the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com

ART FOR PUBLIC PURPOSE. Dr Caroline Campbell was born and educated in Belfast, and became Director of the National Gallery of Ireland in 2022. She studied Modern History at University College Oxford, and has an MA and PhD from the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London. A former Fellow of the Center for Curatorial Leadership, New York, before joining the National Gallery of Ireland, Caroline was Director of Collections and Research at the National Gallery, London. Earlier in her career she held curatorial positions at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, the Courtauld Gallery, London, and the National Gallery. Caroline has published widely on European art from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, particularly on the Italian Renaissance, most recently Mantegna & Bellini and 14th Century Siena. “The Taking of Christ is an absolutely astonishing painting because of the moment of drama in it, and that, as much as the name Caravaggio, is what really excites our visitors.” “Irish art is really strong, but it is much less known outside of Ireland. I would love people to be able to appreciate it more, as part of the more widespread European and Western tradition.” “I love the connection that people have with the gallery.”

This is the second part of our conversation about Mieke Bal's Moments of Meaning-Making: On Anachonism, Becoming, and Conceptualizing, published by Valiz. Mieke Bal (1946) is a Dutch theorist, video artist, and a well-known writer and feminist. She has been a Professor in Literary Theory (University of Amsterdam). In 1994 she was a co-founder of the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA). Bal has been teaching at many institutes and universities in Europe, US, and beyond. She is known for her specific ways of ‘deep-reading' artworks (e.g. Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Louise Bourgeois, Nalini Malani), and intertwining her research with various disciplines, such as contemporary and nineteenth-century literature, psycho-analysis, gender studies, philosophy, bible studies. Bal also works as a video artist, which she approaches as a specific form of cultural analysis. Now that Mieke Bal is getting older —being very active and involved in many art and research projects—she has been ruminating on how to reflect on a full life with different roles and experiences. She did not want to write a navel-staring autobiography and came up with an ABC of Memories, and the concepts these have generated: key terms that have a specific value to her, that interlink as a mesh of meaning, weaving together daily experiences and teaching, her know-how to art making, to the core concepts of her analytical work.

Nel 2021 in Spagna, una casa d'aste si apprestava alla vendita di una tela con una base di 1.500 euro. L'intervento di alcuni esperti ha portato a riconoscerne la mano di Caravaggio. Oggi la tela vale 300 milioni di euro, come racconta il documentario "The Sleeper: The Lost Caravaggio".

Torniamo a parlare di arte e più precisamente di un grande pittore rinascimentale che è vissuto pochi anni, ma che nella sua breve vita ha dipinto opere d'arte famosissime ed è diventato uno dei tre grandi maestri del suo periodo, insieme e Leonardo Da Vinci e Michelangelo Buonarroti. Stiamo parlando di Raffaello (Raphael).Il suo modo di lavorare è stato importantissimo per l'arte che è venuta anche dopo di lui con artisti che hanno cercato di imitarlo ma anche che lo hanno rifiutato e iniziato un nuovo stile, come Caravaggio. Raffaello però non è stato solo pittore ma anche architetto e uno studioso dell'arte romana che lo hanno reso uno dei padri dell'archeologia e della tutela dei beni culturali.La sua arte è stata presa come modello in tutte le accademie di belle arti fino alla metà dell'Ottocento e il pittore è diventato un vero e proprio mito sia per l'arte del XX e X1 secolo arrivando perfino al cinema e al fumetto....- The full transcript of this Episode is available via "Luisa's learn Italian Premium", Premium is no subscription and does not incur any recurring fees.

Neste episódio, exploramos a vida intensa desse gênio violento que reinventou a luz — e espalhou sombra por onde passou.Entre brigas de rua, assassinato de um tal Ranuccio Tomassoni e fugas cinematográficas, Caravaggio criou obras como Davi com a Cabeça de Golias e Medusa, misturando fé, carne e sangue fresco. De Roma a Nápoles, passando por Milo Manara e Vik Muniz, mostramos como ele virou ícone eterno.A arte aqui não é paz — é provocação.

Carol Viciano vuelve a las madrugadas de 'Si amanece nos vamos' con su mítico juego para desenmascarar clickbait. En esta ocasión lo centra en la pintura, en concreto en la de Caravaggio, aunque también sobre su vida. Con Laura Martínez y Marta Centella arrancamos 'España en fiestas', un recorrido que haremos durante todo el verano por las verbenas que se celebran en nuestro país.
From Leonardo making marzipan sculptures and his “Madonna of the Yarnwinder,” to whether Jesus died of cardiogenic shock or asphyxiation, to the recently discovered “Judith and Holofernes” and “Ecce Homo” attributed to Caravaggio, to how to transfer panel paintings to canvas, to how to recognize a Michelangelo, to whether being familiar with historical context increases your appreciation of a work of art, this episode answers the very questions that you ask me about the great art, artists and history of the Italian Renaissance.
My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Margaret Philbrick, author of the book House of Honor. Margaret is an award-winning novelist and an award-winning poet. She lives into her calling as a writer and life-long gardener to plant seeds in hearts. John Ruskin's view that the “greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way,” is a core motivation of her work in photography, poetry, painting, writing and music. Margaret writes across all genre and has essays in Christianity Today, Relevant, The Redbud Hyphen, and Patheos. Margaret is a founding member of the Redbud Writers Guild NFP and is the contributing editor of the Guild's collection of essays and poetry for women, Everbloom. Margaret is a member of the Redbud Writers Guild, ACFW, Wedgewood Circle and the Door County Published Author Collective. You can find Margaret digging in the dirt or wandering in a forest and connect with her via her website. In my book review, I stated House of Honor is a historical thriller set in Italy. Margaret touts the book as a Godfather meets The Da Vinci Code but with a redemptive twist. I tout it as a book I couldn't put down! Orazio Bordoni is a son of a construction magnate - but he wants nothing more than to be an artist. So, he leaves home and follows on a similar path as Caravaggio - a 16th century artist very much admired by Orazio. Before long, Orazio is caught up in slimy Vatican politics, the Sicilian mafia, and a lover with a powerful political father. What starts out as a "job" turns into a test - one where he must prove his loyalty to the mafia. Will Orazio lose his family? His lover? His friends? His art? His life? The tale twists and turns, often leaving the reader breathless. Margaret does an amazing job helping the reader experience the underbelly of Italy while exposing us to the world of art - all while keeping us guessing as to what will happen next. If you like a good thriller, then you'll love House of Honor.

Read Online“Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.” Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” John 20:27–29Thomas the Apostle, in many ways, represents each and every one of us in this exchange with Jesus. We'd like to believe that we always believe and are not unbelieving. But it's important to admit the humble truth that we may not believe as deeply as we should. And it's important to reflect upon our own reaction to the blessings that others receive that we do not.Recall that Thomas was not among the other Apostles when Jesus first appeared to them. Therefore, when Thomas returned and heard that Jesus had appeared and that he missed His appearance, he clearly felt bad. Unfortunately, the sorrow Thomas felt at not being present when the Lord appeared to the others left him with a certain bitterness rather than joy. This is the sin of envy. Envy is a certain sorrow over the blessings others receive that we do not. Ideally, Thomas would have rejoiced at the blessing that the other Apostles received by encountering the risen Lord. But, instead, his sorrow at missing this even left him sad. He said, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nail marks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”Why was Thomas absent from this encounter with our Lord? Perhaps it was by divine providence, in that God wanted Thomas to set an example for us. If so, then one example Thomas set was that we must humbly rejoice in the blessings others receive when we are not also the recipient. Of course, if Thomas were there, then it would have been easier for him to share in the joy. But, in many ways, Thomas' absence provided him an even greater opportunity. An opportunity that he failed to embrace.When you see others receive blessings from God, how do you respond? Many people respond by immediately looking at themselves, wishing they were blessed in the same way. They struggle with envy. They think, “I wish I had received that blessing.” This form of envy is not always easy to see. For that reason, Thomas is given to us as a witness of what not to do in this situation. Of course, Thomas is not a horrible person, which is why Jesus does later appear to him. That time, Thomas spoke words that are traditionally spoken as a devotion by the faithful at Mass when the Consecration occurs. He said, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus then gently rebukes Thomas by saying, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” But this gentle rebuke was an act of love, in that Jesus wanted Thomas to ponder the reason for his unbelief. Jesus clearly wanted Thomas to examine the unbelief caused by envy, which appears to have led to an intentional lack of faith. Reflect, today, upon this holy Apostle. Today, Saint Thomas the Apostle is among the great saints in the Kingdom of Heaven. God used him to teach us these important lessons about envy, humility and faith. Let his weakness, from which he fully recovered, help you examine your own struggle with envy over the blessings that others receive that you do not. Learn to rejoice always in the ways that God is at work in our world and learn to grow in humility, so that when others are blessed in ways that you are not, you react as Saint Thomas ultimately did: “My Lord and my God!” My most generous Lord, You pour forth Your blessings upon others, day and night. As I see those blessings, help me to overcome all temptations toward envy so that I may rejoice in Your grace given to all. You are my Lord and my God, and I thank You for every way that You bless my life and the lives of those around me. Fill me with a deeper gratitude, dear Lord, for every grace and blessing I see every day, especially those graces not given directly to me.

Tiffany and Katy talk about the thoughts that came up during the exhibit, incluing possibly misplaced tears, an astonishing encounter with true Caravaggio expert, and what makes an exhibit a great one—beyond just the works of art on display. Tiffany also remarks on what it is that makes Caravaggio such a universally intriguing and adored artist, as well as what it's like to be getting closer to the completion on her life-long quest of seeing every Caravaggio painting still in existence. ***Want to see Caravaggio paintings with us and learn more about this incredible artist? Come to Rome with us in October 2025! For the third year in a row, we are hosting an intimate group of listeners for a magical and unforgettable week in Rome, to explore and discover the wonders of this city with us as your guides, seeing a side to Rome tourists almost never see (including one morning dedicated entirely to Caravaggio!). Find out more here.*** ***Katy's sister Dana has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 agressive brain cancer. To help with the staggering medical costs—her specialist is outside her insurance network—as well of the costs of temporarily relocating to San Francsico for her treatments, please consider donating to her GoFundMe. Anything you can contribute will be extremely helpful. Thank you.*** ------------------------------------- ADVERTISE WITH US: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.
