Chapter X: Saint Sebastian (2)

Text size

PERUGIA, CHURCH OF S. PIETRO.

=Pietà.=

The dead body of Our Lord has just been lifted from the tomb by St.
Joseph of Arimathæa, who is supporting it in sitting posture on the
edge of the tomb. On either side are St. Mary Magdalen and Our Lady,
each holding one hand of Christ.

This was originally part of the great altar-piece of St. Agostino.

_For other parts see Grenoble, Toulouse, Lyons, Nantes, Strasburg,
and the Pinacoteca._

PERUGIA, NUNNERY OF S. AGNESE.

=The Eternal Father with SS. Sebastian and Rocu.=

=Crucifixion, with two Angels, the Virgin, and St. John Baptist.=

=The Virgin, with two Angels, St. Anthony the Abbot, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Elizabeth of Portugal, St. Elizabeth of Hungary.=

Said to have been signed: =PETRVS PINSIT 1522.=

These cannot be seen as the house is now strictly cloistered.

PERUGIA, COLLEGIO DEL CAMBIO.

Entirely decorated in fresco.

First and third picture. Twelve standing figures in groups of three, each group consisting of a Greek between two Romans.

1. Fabius Maximus, Socrates, Numa Pompilius.
2. Furius Camillus, Pittacus, Trajan.
3. Lucius Sicinius, Leonidas, Horatius Cocles.
4. Scipio, Pericles, Cincinnatus.

Above the first six figures are seated representations of Prudence
and Justice, the virtues, illustrated by the philosophers, and on
tablets carried by cherubs the following two inscriptions:

QUID GENERI HVMANO PRÆSTAS DEA DIC AGE PRÆSTO
NE FACIAS QVAE MOX FACTA DOLERE QUEAS
SCRUTARI VERVM DOCEO CAUSASQVE LATENTES
ET PER ME POTERIT NIL NISI RITE GERI.

SI TRIBVS HIS CVNCTOS SIMILES PIA NVMINA GIGNANT
NIL TOTO SCELERIS NIL SIT IN ORBE MALI
ME CVLTA AVGENTVR POPVLI BELLOQVE TOGAQVE
ET SINE ME FVERANT QVAE MODO MAGNA RVVNT.

The Rev. H. R. Ware renders these verses in English as follows:

Thy gifts to man, Oh! Goddess, now relate.
"To do, what done, shall bring no bitter fate;
I show where truth lies hid, the causes tell,
Which learned from me thou may'st do all things well."

or, as an alternative, the last line may read

(Whereby the seeker may do all things well.)

"If the good gods make all men like these three,
In the wide world no wickedness would be.
By me the nations grow in war and peace,
Without my worship antient powers decrease."

Another rendering by the Rev. T. C. Robson is very close to the original but is not as melodious and easy as Mr. Ware's.

Speak, Goddess, where thy gift to man appears.
"My gift to prompt to deeds that cause no tears.
Truth to unveil, secrets to learn I teach,
No slave of mine heaven's justice would impeach.
Had heaven made all men like these three
Evil and crime had ceased to be;
I guide both sword and pen to better ways,
Force without me will fall on evil days."

Above the second six figures are similar representations of
Fortitude and Temperance, the virtues specially illustrated by the
warriors and similar inscriptions thus:

CEDERE CVNTA MEIS PULSA ET DISIECTA LACERTIS
MAGNA SATIS FVERINT TRES DOCVMENTA VIRI
NIL EGO PRO PATRIA TIMEO CHARISQVE PROPINQVIS
QVAEQVE ALIOS TERRET MORS MIHI GRATA VENIT.

DIC DEA QVAE TIBI VIS MORES REGO PECTORIS AESTVS
TEMPERO ET HIS ALIOS CVM VOLO REDDO PARES
ME SEQVERE ET QVA TE SVPERES RATIONE DOCEBO
QVID TV QVOD VALEAS VINCERE MAIVS ERIT.

Mr. Ware's translation of these verses is very happy:

Three heroes proof infallible have given
That by my arms all foes are backward driven,
I have no fear for country nor for friends
The king of terror brings to me amends.
Goddess, reveal thy might. "I rule the life;
Heroes I train by tempering passion's strife:
Follow my rule, thy fiery heart restrain,
What greater victory canst thou ere attain."

An alternative of these four lines would be,

Oh! Goddess, tell the secret of thy might.
"I rule the heart, its foaming tides I fight.
Follow my rule, the storms of passion bind;
So conquering self a greater self you'll find."

Mr. Robson's rendering is as follows:

All things beneath my hand in scattered ruin lie.
Witness these three whose might can none deny.
My land, my loved ones, ever I defend,
And Death, to others Foe, to me is friend.
Speak, Goddess, from thy throne. "Manners my right.
To cool men's souls and balance passion's might.
With me as guide self-conquest thou shalt learn,
Who then will dare that master will to spurn."

The name of each of the standing figures is clearly recorded at his
feet.

Between these two great groups on a pilaster is the portrait of
Perugino with this inscription: =PETRVS PERVSINVS EGREGIVS PICTOR.=

PERDITA SI FUERAT PINGENDI HIS RETULIT ARTEM;
SI NUSQUAM INVENTA EST HACTENUS IPSE DEDIT.

On the end wall are representations of =The Transfiguration and Nativity.=

In the former Our Lord is in the clouds in a mandorla of rays, and
His hands are raised in benediction. On either side kneel Moses and
Elias, and in the sky are the words: =HIC EST FILIVS MEVS DILECTVS.=
On the ground gazing up, but shading their faces from the glory, are
the three disciples.

In the "Nativity" the divine Child is on the ground, and around,
under a canopy raised on six columns, are kneeling the Madonna, St.
Joseph, and the shepherds. There are cattle nearby, and above, in
the heavens, three angels singing, and above their heads the words:
=GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO.=

On the right wall is a =Group of Prophets and Sibyls=, Isaiah, Moses, Daniel, David, and Jeremiah, and opposite to them the Persian, Cumæan, Libyan, Tyburtine, and Delphic sibyls. Above them, in the clouds, surrounded by cherubs and adoring angels, is a representation of =The Eternal Father=.

Near the door is a fine standing figure of =Cato=, and in the ceiling are medallions of the deities representing the seven planets set amidst a profusion of diversified arabesques.

There are studies in the Uffizi for several of the figures in the
Cambio: Socrates (251, 415), Pericles (252, 400), "Moses" (252,
401), "The Cumean Sibyl" (256, 309), "Venus and Cupid" (253, 402),
"The Infant Christ" (_verso_ of, 252, 401).

ROME, VATICAN, CAPPELLA SISTINA.

=St. Peter receiving the Keys.=

There is a study in the Uffizi, 252, 416, for one of the heads in
this fresco.

ROME, VATICAN, STANZA DELL' INCENDIO.

The =CEILING= painted by Perugino was spared by Raphael in 1508 when Pope Julius II. ordered the destruction of all existing work in order that Raphael might entirely complete the decoration. The ceiling is in four circular compartments.

The first represents, within a mandorla of cherubs, and surrounded
with angels the Eternal Father holding the globe and giving
benediction.

The second, the Saviour in glory, within a mandorla, and surrounded
with angels and cherubs.

The third, the Saviour surrounded by His apostles and St. Paul,
while above Him is the Eternal Father with angels, and at His feet
the Dove of the Holy Ghost.

The fourth depicts the Eternal Father between two saints and
surrounded by angels and cherubs.

ROME, VATICAN, PINACOTECA.

=The Resurrection.= Panel. 2·27 × 1·67 = 7 ft. 6 in. × 5 ft. 6 in.

=The Madonna and Child.= 0·89 × 1·65 = 2 ft. 11 in. × 5 ft. 6 in.

The Virgin is seated on a magnificent canopied throne beneath a
vaulted archway. The divine Child is nude, and stands erect on her
knees. Around are four saints patrons of Perugia, St. Herculanus,
St. Constantius, St. Lawrence, and St. Louis of Toulouse, all richly
dressed.

The throne is inscribed: =HOC PETRVS DE CHASTRO PLEBIS PINXIT=

_This was originally in the chapel of the Town Hall at Perugia, for
which it was painted, and was carried to Paris in 1797._

=SS. Placido, Flavia, and Benedict.= 0·31 × 0·26 each.

San Placido bears the Palm, San Benedetto the holy water, asperge,
and a book, and Santa Flavia is crowned and has her hands clasped.
She and San Placido were brother and sister and early disciples of
St. Benedict.

_From the pilasters forming the sides of the "Ascension" removed
from the Benedictine Church of S. Pietro in Perugia and now at
Lyons._

ROME, VILLA BORGHESE.

=St. Sebastian.= 1·09 × 0·69 = 3 ft. 7 in. × 2 ft. 3 in. [386.]

The saint stands under an open archway, bound to a central column.
He is pierced with five arrows, and is looking upwards.

=Virgin and Child.= 0·45 × 0·37 = 1 ft. 6 in. × 1 ft. 2 in. [401.]

The Virgin is seated, and holds the divine Child, who is nude, erect
on her knees.

_See Frankfort._

ROME, VILLA ALBANI.

=Altar-piece.= [37.]

This is in six compartments representing the "Adoration of the
Divine Child," and "The Crucifixion." "The Nativity" is below. At
the sides are an angel and an Annunciation.

The picture is inscribed on the capitals, =PETRVS DE PERVSIA PINXIT
MCCVIIII PRIMO=.

SIENA, CHURCH OF ST. AGOSTINO.

=The Crucifixion.=

_For this picture Perugino was paid 200 golden ducats._

SINIGAGLIA, MONASTERY CHURCH OF STA. MARIA DELLA GRAZIE.

=Virgin and Child with Saints.=

The Virgin is on a throne, bearing the divine Child in her arms.
Around stand St. John Baptist, St. Louis of France, St. Francis, St.
Peter, St. Paul, and St. James (or St. John and St. Andrew).

_Almost a replica of the one at Fano._

SPELLO, CHURCH OF SANTA MARIA MAGGIORE.

=Pietà.=

Our Lady is seated on a throne, and holds the dead body of the
Christ in her arms and on her knees. On one side of her kneels Mary
Magdalen, and on the right St. John. Above their heads are cherub
faces floating in the air. From the canopy of the throne are
suspended two tablets bearing these words: =PETRVS DE CHASTRO PLEB
PINSIT AD MDXXI.=; and on the foot of the throne is inscribed:
=MICHAL AGELVS ANDINE=.

=Virgin and Child and Saints.=

The Virgin is seated on a throne, holding the divine Child, who
stands erect and nude on her knees. On her left stands St.
Catherine, with wheel and palm, and on the right St. Blaise, in
episcopal habit, with mitre and crozier, holding the wool comb.

The throne is inscribed: =EX SPEIS JOANNE BERNAR DELLI AD MDXXI DIE
XXV APRILIS=.

TREVI, CHURCH OF SANTA MARIA DELLE LACRIME.

=The Adoration of the Magi.=

The throne is inscribed: =PETRVS IN CASTRO PLEBIS PINXIT=.

TU SOLA IN TERRIS GENETRIX ET VIRGO FVISTI
REGINA IN CELIS TV QVOQVE SOLA MANES.

VERONA, MUSEO CIVICO.

=The Madonna adoring the Christ.= [120.]

The Virgin is standing in the centre of the picture with clasped
hands and in front of a stone balustrade. On either side are
kneeling angels. The one on the right holds the divine Child, whom
the Virgin is adoring, the other rests her hands on the shoulders of
St. John Baptist, who is also adoring the Christ. In the background
is the usual landscape which appears to be undoubtedly the work of
Perugino, and probably also the figure of the Virgin; but the angels
and children are school work.

=The Adoration of the Magi.= [95.]
