a jewel par excellence of the Renaissance ...
a jewel purely decorative or with meaning religious or symbolic …
a jewel appreciated for its beauty, its artistic, symbolic and even magical value …
When I go to an art museum, gallery or auction house I am eagle-eyed and fastidious to a degree. A nick in the frame, the dust and grime of centuries, the general effect sad and forlorn, all these I see. I see, too, the myriad of other defects …
The Prado is unique among the world’s great museums. Its collection is astonishingly rich, with master paintings from the 13C to the 18C. It is one of the more complete wider representation of European schools of paintings. Assembled by the Spanish kings for their palaces, its treasures are now housed in the grandiose Neo-Classical palace designed in 1787. The Prado contains the most important collection of Spanish masters to be found anywhere in the world. It has the finest works included paintings by El Greco, Zurbaran, Velazquez, Murillo, Goya etc. The great strength of the museum is that it has also amassed extensive collections of other European artists. As the Low Countries were once part of the Spanish Empire, its collection included works by Rogier van der Weyden, the unsurpassed works of Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel, etc. Rubens’ works are well-represented
Dulwich Picture Gallery boosts one of the of the finest smaller collection of Old Master in the world, full of household names and hidden gems. Its collection reflects the taste and market opportunities of its time by concentrated on European paintings of the 17C and 18C, the period sometimes known as ‘The Age of Baroque’.

The Rijksmuseum is a major European treasury of art. It houses the world’s greatest collection of Dutch paintings of 17C, the Golden Age. It is also a museum for Dutch history, art objects, drawings, sculptures and furniture. The building was opened in 1885. Its building was one of the first to be constructed specially as a museum. In 2004 the museum largely closed for 10 years to undertake a major renovation. The major features of the renovation were the of construction two large atriums covered by glass roofs to provide more amenity spaces for the visitors.

The Galleria Borghese is the home of an extraordinary collections of large number of unique masterpieces, dating from antiquity. In 1807 nearly all the archaeological collection was sold by Camillo Borghese to his brother-in-law, Napoleon, becoming an essential part of the Louvre collection in Paris. Some of the pieces sold have been replaced by later acquisitions. The gallery is uniquely located in the middle of a park, serenely blending architecture and nature. Recent restoration, which took over a decade of work, of the build was completed in 1997.

Questo ciclo di lezioni in lingua inglese, prende il titolo “Un viaggio nell’arte tra l’amore sacro e profano”. In pratica viene messo a confronto il tema iconografico della Madonna con il Bambino e quello di Venere con Cupido attraverso le opere d’arte più rappresentative esposte in quattro tra i più rappresentativi musei d’Europa: The State Hermitage Museum di SanPietroburgo, il Victoria and Albert Museum di Londra, il Museo di Capodimonte di Napoli e il Museo del Prado di Madrid.
Prima di passare alla visione le singole opere d’arte, il progetto prevede un conciso cenno storico circa l’origine e la struttura dei suddetti musei. Le opere che saranno analizzate sono soprattutto dipinti, oscillanti cronologicamente tra l’XI e il XIX secolo, ma non mancherà la descrizione anche di oggetti d’arte di diversa tipologia (sculture, bronzi, arti applicate, etc.). Per ogni opera esaminata, prima della sua descrizione si procederà con una breve introduzione biografica dell’autore.

The misunderstanding was increased by the fact that the band on the forehead of the sitter was also
named "ferronière" in the 16th century.

77. Ferronnière
A ferronnière is a style of headband that encircles the wearer's forehead, usually with a small jewel
suspended in the centre.
The original form of the headband was worn in late fifteenth-century Italy, and was rechristened a
ferronnière at the time of its revival in the second quarter of the nineteenth century.
The ferronnière is often said to be named after a 1490s portrait attributed to the school of Leonardo da
Vinci, the La belle ferronnière, where the sitter wears such an ornament.
However, this painting's title was assigned in the 18th century, well after it was painted, under the
erroneous assumption that it portrayed Madame Le Féron, a reputed mistress of Francis I of France; or
another mistress who was allegedly an iron merchant's wife.
The literal translation of ferronnière in English is "ironmonger."
In their catalogue, the Louvre suggest that La belle ferronnière was so-called because of her forehead
ornament, a theory that is supported by other scholars, but other sources conclude that the ornament was
named after the painting, due to the term's specific application apparently not existing prior to the 19th
century.
78. Enseigne, Hat Badge
An enseigne was a sixteenth century badge displayed on a hat.
Badges that were symbolic and decorated by the wearer’s portrait, monogram, patron saint or other
mythological or Biblical imagery were referred to as enseigne.
They were elaborately enhanced with enamels, gemstones and cameos and set within floral filigree frames.
Usually loops along the edge or holes pierced through the medallion were used for sewing the badge onto a
cap.
Charles VIII of France wore this type of ornament wrought in gold on his cap while his men wore similar
badges in lesser metals.
The fashion spread throughout the European courts and from there to noblemen and those who emulated
them.
The enseigne remained in vogue until the late sixteenth century when aigrettes replaced them in popularity.
79. Cameo
Cameo jewelry can be traced as far back as the 3rd century BC. Cameos were very popular during the
Roman era, resurfaced during the Renaissance and then was once again popular in the 19th century.
The cameos have not always been decorative jewelry for women. In fact, at different points in history they
have been worn as frequently by men.
In ancient times people used cameos to depict an ethic or moral, or to make a statement about their faith or
loyalties. Early Greek and Roman carvings featured images of gods and goddesses, themes from mythology,
beautiful women and biblical events.
In the Hellenistic era young women used cameos as charms to express desire. A woman could wear a cameo
depicting a dancing Eros as a seductive invitation to love.
The technique has since enjoyed periodic revivals, notably in the early Renaissance, and again in the 18th
and 19th centuries.
The Neoclassical revival began in France with Napoleon's support of the glyptic arts, and even his
coronation crown was decorated with cameos.
In Britain, this revival first occurred during King George III's reign, and his granddaughter, Queen Victoria,
was a major proponent of the cameo trend, to the extent that they would become mass-produced by the
second half of the 19th century.
