THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES CONNOISSEURSHIP 1 (Old Master Paintings)

(10% UNIT MARK)

How do we come to attribute paintings to certain artists? Giovanni Morelli (1816-1891) is one of several art historians who have attempted to codify the ways in which we make decisions based on stylistic details. Read the assigned text, Michael Hatt and Charlotte Klonk, Art History: A Critical Introduction to Its Methods (Manchester: Manchester UP, 2013), pp. 48–64, which explains Morelli’s methods and Bernard Berenson’s response to them. Then, using their approach, discuss the attribution of paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (MET) of the following painters. You will need to analyse and describe the differences between ONE OF THE PAIRS of artists below.

To what extent do you feel Morelli’s and Berenson’s methods of connoisseurship succeed in determining which artist painted the works? You will need to reflect on how useful, or how limiting you find their approaches. Are there aspects of the task that you feel they have ignored or failed to give enough weight?

The Vindication on the Rights of Women

Prompt: Contemporary scholars view Mary Wollstonecraft as an important women’s rights advocate, but some stop short of calling her a feminist.

Essentially want the essay to be about how Wollstonecraft’s work insists that women rights has to do with wives and mothers because she is appealing to the readers, who are a male audience. Explain how she addresses women in the text and their need for rights generally and how she recognizes herself one of them.
