Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University

This thesis sets out to examine two new issues; the use of the colour modelling system in Florence in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth-centuries and the way it impacts the relationship between six artists who lived and worked for the most part in Florence during that period. Among these artists exist strong ties of studios, common patrons and working locations. Florence has traditionally been identified with disegno and Venice with colorito, although these associations are gradually being overturned; by looking at the clear and consistent use by Florentine artists of colour for expressive and volumetric means, it is hoped to gain a greater and more sophisticated understanding of these relationships. The first chapter looks at the work of Domenico Ghirlandaio and his bottega, one of the largest and for our purposes most influential studios in Florence; for comparison and also because of his role in the issue, Filippino Lippi enters as well. A chapter on Michelangelo, Ghirlandaio's most famous pupil, follows; the cleaned frescoes of the Sistine chapel provide one of the main foci of discussion for colour in the thesis, due to their great fame and dramatic colour use. These are discussed together with the Doni Tondo and the London Entombment. The middle two chapters focus on Andrea del Sarto, Fra Baitolommeo and the San Marco compagnia, the artists to stay in Florence after the departure of Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael and who taught many of the next generation of artists. The last two chapters deal with Jacopo Pontormo and Rosso Florentino; as heirs and successors to these earlier artists, Rosso and Pontormo continue in the use of this same colour modelling tradition, but employing it with dramatically different results.

The title page of Schein's Opella nova I (1618) advertises `Geistliche Concerten.a. uff jetzo gebreuchliche italiänische Invention'. A mixture of Latin, Gothic and Italic script styles gives an immediate visual impression of mingling styles. From this starting point, the genre and purpose of the two publications of the Opella nova (1618,1626) are discussed. Examination of the collections published in between these volumes reveals that Schein deliberately published sacred and secular music alternately, positively advertising and applying the same Italian genres and styles in each category. The reception of the `new Italian style' by Schein's contemporaries, Michael Praetorius, Johann Staden, Samuel Scheidt and Heinrich Schütz is explored. Schein's Opella nova concertos are examined thoroughly, and the question of how he adapted and adopted the Italian style into music for the Lutheran liturgy is considered. This reveals that Schein possessed a deep knowledge of Italian music, and although no definitive claims about whether he imitated particular composers are made, points of similarity with the work of Viadana, Giovanni Gabrieli, Monteverdi and Alessandro Grandi are found. Finally the reasons why the Italian style was received so positively by Lutheranism in Schein's time, in spite of hostility towards the Catholic faith, are considered. The influence of Renaissanceh umanism in Luther's thought is outlined, and the author takes the view that the Italian style in Lutheran music of Schein's time was the result of the continuing influence and development of this intellectual movement. Music is compared to poetry and rhetoric in its function. The question of how the Italian style fitted in to Schein's local context of the Lutheran free city of Leipzig is briefly discussed, and a conclusion reached that it was due principally to the cosmopolitan nature of the university and international trade in the city that Schein was able to pursue his interest in the `italiänische Invention
