Italy,in One Last Turn and the Sphinx ....Will Talk and is finally nt to the ‘Teatro Europeo’,but he remains tentative,asking Shall I be an Extra or Take a Starring Role?With Italy’s involvement in the war,artists were soon required to reconsider their position.Italy was a relatively young country,having been unified only in 1861,and this war offered it a way of bringing its people together against a shared enemy.Artists began to produce propaganda sup-porting the troops and encouraging other Italians to do the same.Works such as Amos Scorzon’s The Unstoppable Avalanche show Italy’s army as a huge boulder,des-troying German and Austro-Hungarian soldiers;raising morale amongst the troops and bringing a positive message back from the frontline.The swing from anti-interventionism to support for the army is also apparent in I Have Given a Lot ,by an unknown artist,which criticis former Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti for his prolonged neutrality,and encour-ages the public to support schemes such as the National Loan,which financed the war.
Nonetheless,the main targets of ridi-cule were the Emperors of Austria-Hun-gary and Germany.The artist Fram depicts Franz Joph as a decrepit old beggar in I Die in Despair ,and Kair Wilhelm II as a hideous medusa in The Innocent ,an image very similar to Retrosi’s The Face of War .Raffaello Ferro derides the Kair’s greed for territory,as he portrays him forcing his recognisable helmet onto a globe in German Global Domination .Ferro also turns his mocking tone on his fellow countryman,th
e poet Gabriele D’Annunzio,in the stand-out work of the exhibition.Dante,who lends a quote to the title,My Poor Vers Have Been Thrown to the Wind ,appears as a porter to the ostentatious nationalist D’Annunzio,who is on his way to the Scoglio di Quarto to make a fervent irredentist speech.
The range of work in this show,cover-ing 11artists over the duration of Italy’s involvement in the war,can make the exhibition em a little disparate.Never-theless,Virgilio Retrosi’s crisp designs,consistent motifs,and u of bright colours against the neutral tones of the paper pull the exhibition together,as the elements appear to some extent in the other works.Fram,in particular,shows a comparable
level of style,with work reminiscent of Toulou-Lautrec.In addition to the satirical basis of all the works,a more surprising feature is the humanity.Even Giulio Gigli’s Futurist Dynamic Vision of Befana ,which starts the exhibition,the word ‘Miria’stands out amongst the explo-sions,flags,helmets and bullets inscribed with the surname of Futurist leader Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.All the artists featured in this exhibition em to be concerned with the Italian people,particularly the army,although not necessa-rily the politicians.They did,however,rally behind what-ever fate the country’s lea-ders cho for it;whether that was neutrality or inter-ventionism and t
he aim of reclaiming lost land in Trieste and the Trentino.Nadia Marchioni’s cata-logue article provides con-
text for each work in relation to the political issue it portrays,and the role of the key artists in the development of style.Although the essay opens with a quote by Umberto Boccioni,one of the Futurists who volunteered to fight in the war as members of the Lombardy Volunteer Battalion of Cyclists and Automobilists,Marchioni does not overly stress the Futurist connection.This is refreshing becau,as mentioned earlier,the style and ntiment of the works are quite different,and they have previously been paid little attention in their own right.It would,however,have been interesting to read more about the relationships between the Futurists’propaganda through printed media and the postcards.Furthermore,the lack of information on who commis-sioned each work,and exactly when,leaves us frustratingly speculative in our associa-tion between the events,the artworks,and the political bias behind them.Although some are a little rudimentary,the majority of the cartoons are charming in their satire and depict an interesting and tumultuous period in Italy’s recent history.

very survey book of Dutch ven-teenth-century painting features a view of Amsterdam by Jan van der Heyden.Perhaps few who admire his paintings reali that this versatile man also demonstrated a lifelong talent for engineering:van der Heyden is notable today as much for his invention of a fire-pump that enjoyed success throughout the following century and for his perfection of the street lamp when overer of Amster-dam’s lighting,as for his painting.Like many an artist known for one kind of painting,in this ca the cityscape,one rarely es more of van der Heyden’s oeuvre reproduced than a single,typical work.Now Peter Sutton,director of the Bruce Muum but best known for his

study of Pieter de Hooch,focus his own light on van der Heyden,combining his talents with the teamwork of Amsterdam’s Rijksmuum.Sutton’s lengthy essay,ran-ging from life and art to optics and perspective and personal inventions,pro-vides the fullest discussion ever of van der Heyden.Jonathan Bikker,recent author of a monograph on Rembrandt’s pupil Drost (e The Art Book ,vol.13issue 3),adds a note on original owners of van der Heyden paintings,who technique is examined cloly by Arie Waller.A catalogue of 38paintings and 16drawings follows,supple-mented by a valuable dual-language supple-ment on the critical history of the artist.What do we learn from this first monograph in English (and first exhibi-tion in ven decades)that cannot be conveyed by a typical painting of an Amsterdam canal or church square?Van der Heyden’s prosperous family was Mennonite,a denomination that advo-cated withdrawal from civic duties,a eming contradiction for t
his most en-gaged of municipal citizens.He married in 1661and produced a first dated painting (no.4)in 1663,and he is recorded as having sold a 1667image of the Amster-dam Town Hall to Cosimo de’Medici of Florence (Uffizi;no.9).His role as over-er of city lamps began in 1669,and the fire pump that he invented with his brother Nicolaas led to a 1673supervision of city fire equipment.A firefighting book written by Jan in 1690is dedicated to a quartet of city burgomasters.Paintings continued to appear well after his appointments to the city offices,particularly during the 1670s.At his death in 1712van der Heyden

enjoyed the burial of a prominent citizen,and his prosperous estate included a sizeable collection,including 73of his own paintings,indicating that painting was not necessary for his living.
Sutton’s discussion of the cityscape offers a very uful survey of the origins of this distinctly Dutch genre of painting (a topic not really addresd since a 1977exhibition,originated in Toronto by Richard Wattenmaker),which crystallid in the 1650s out of earlier topographic prints and maps.Specific images of the Amsterdam City Hall and Dam Square became a hall-mark of van der Heyden as well as of Gerrit Berckheyde,and are well discusd in Sutton’s essay.Sutton also adduces Jan

der Ulft as another major pioneer,possibly van der Heyden’s own teacher.Here,and throughout the catalogue,a wealth of comparative images appear,some in colour, but most are small in scale and difficult to read for important component elements.
Van der Heyden’s early works include paintings on glass(no.1)and panel,chiefly imaginary landscape or architectural sites as well as images of churches.He was cele-brated for his minute rendering of details. Later works maintain vivid detail but offer more controlled lighting and atmosphere, suggesting the wider city ttings,such as the Westerkerk and Keizersgracht(no.13). Well-compod canal scenes,especially emphasising older church structures,char-acteri further Amsterdam scene
s,but Sutton notes how composite and compod the scenes actually were,cobbled out of individual sites as motifs.
Van der Heyden also ventured away from Amsterdam,ranging as far away as the Rhineland(Cologne churches)and as far south as Brusls(Old Palace,nos.32 and33).Views of other Dutch cities, including smaller,picturesque sites such as Veere and Delft as well as varied castles and estates in Holland,also form a substantial part of his oeuvre.Some of the overlap with more general images better characterid as landscapes,going back to his earliest pictures on glass. Sutton’s essay ends with a provocative suggestion that Italian vedute might have been shaped by Jan van der Heyden;he points to both Canaletto and Bellotto as beneficiaries,but especially Gaspar van Wittel,known in Italy as Vanvitelli,at the end of the venteenth century.
Onefinal,masterful category of paint-ing by van der Heyden,not as familiar to non-specialists(albeit with an example from Budapest rving as the cover of Marie¨t Westermann’s survey,A Worldly Art, 2005)is his still-lifes(nos.29,38),some ten of them.The luxury goods actually exemplify the kind of objects in a collec-tion such as that of the artist himlf,and a few date from the very end of his life. More specifically,they depict scholarly cabinets or studies,replete with atlas and globes as well as art works.
Sutton also tentatively propos the artist’s likely u of a camera obscura,but without the distortions of light and perspective to be found in Vermeer and not as a crucial element in his images.
Jonathan Bikker’s study of patronage turnsfirst to the patrician,burgomaster family of the Huydecopers,especially
Joan II.Other burgomasters and civic
employees em to have owned veral van

religionists,led by Pieter Block and Jan van
Lennep,also surely sought his paintings.
Bikker plausibly suggests this group as the
owners of some of the pictured estates.
He also notes knowledgeably that one of
the Westerkerk views(Wallace Collection)
replicates the canal scene across from the

One other note:the corporate sponsor of
this exhibition is Reed Elvier,the con-
temporary incarnation of a Dutch imprint城南花已开吉他谱
that is celebrating a major anniversary of
425years.The huge current profits of that
company stem from its heavy commitment
to electronic delivery of scholarly journals;
however,this handsome book and art
exhibition make a welcome antidote to the
online world of today’s corporation.
