Cocktails with a Curator: Cimabue's "Flagellation of Christ"

Күн бұрын

In this week’s episode of “Cocktails with a Curator,” Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Xavier F. Salomon examines the only work by Cimabue in a public collection in the United States, a small panel depicting "The Flagellation of Christ." Acquired by the Frick in 1950, the attribution of this work was a topic of debate until a sister panel was discovered in 2000, establishing that they once belonged to a larger ensemble by the 13th-century Florentine. (In 2019, a third fragment was discovered.) As a nod to the gold background, this week’s complementary cocktail is the Gold Rush, a drink invented in New York in the 1920s.

Very interesting how a connection in 2019 would pull the history together. Frick’s daughter had excellent taste as well.

This was some of the best "writing" in the series. Beginning with Dante was a brilliant open.

Another fascinating talk, thank you, Xavier. I just went online and discovered that the recently rediscovered 'La dérision du Christ/Christ mocked' was sold for €24 million - no wonder no art gallery was able to acquire this!

Absolutely fascinating; how I hope they find the missing pieces, whatever they are. Thank you Mr Salomon for illustrating how the name 'Cimabue' is pronounced, grazie!

What Frick & Xavier bring to the party is a sense of the long reach of great work. Am embarrassed to say I hadn't heard of this "teacher/discoverer" of Giotto. Delighted for the kitchen mistress! .

3:55 In this particular painting Cimabue observes the young Giotto drawing a goat on a rock. He is tending goats, not sheep!

Paradoxically in numerous cases damaged works of art can be more suggestive and evocative than intact ones -I cite many ancient statues that have been discovered in a damaged state -the Venus de Milo,the Winged Victory of Samothrace,and numerous examples of male torsos minus heads,arms and legs-so perhaps a damaged giant Cimabue crucifix is not too bad after all!

Mr. Sharp mentions a historian who wrote beautifully about Bellini's Saint Francis , as well as other painters of Cimabue's period. I was unable to make out the spelling of his name..Something like Melo Meese ? I am very curious to find his book. Could someone be so kind as to verify his name ? Thanks in advance.

@jeffreycunard5798 3 жыл бұрын

Millard Meiss (see Wikipedia entry), a prominent art historian; books mentioned: Painting in Florence and Siena after the Black Death (1951); The Painting of the Life of St. Francis in Assisi (1962). Also see his Giotto and Assisi (1960).
