Attention turned from the wounded saint to his healers, the ‘Pious Women’ of late-medieval hagiography. The work of St. Irene and an Unnamed Attendant, who tended to Sebastian and restored him to health, assumed new centrality in a plague-beleaguered Europe. The scene of tending became a touchstone across religious and geographic divides. One painter, however, depicted the subject more often than any other artist. José (Jusepe) de Ribera returned to Sebastian’s healers throughout his life. This talk centers on Ribera’s 1631 Saint Sebastian Tended by the Pious Women (Bilbao Fine Arts Museum). Produced in Naples, acquired by Philip IV, and displayed in the Royal Monastery of El Escorial, the canvas prompts an engagement with the work of tending in pictorial, social, and material terms. In the earliest description of the canvas in 1667, Francisco de los Santos likened the grasp of the piercing arrow to the steadying of a mahlstick. Following this comparison, I first consider the iconography of tending in relation to artistic practice: a precision of touch enabled by the instrument indexing Ribera’s approach to oil painting. Second, I turn to the social history of medicine in Naples, illuminating the origins of the ‘Care-Giving Women’ (‘Donne Caritative’) in the city’s largest hospital through new archival research. Here, I argue, the work of historical caregivers intersects the painter’s allegorical figurations. Third, I consider the relation between tending to a body and tending to a body of art. As Sebastian’s wounded body became a stand-in for the damaged canvas, the techniques of his care came to theorize the restoration of the artwork itself. Such a painting (as body) could assert its liability to injury—as well as its capacity, under certain conditions, for repair.

Jusepe de Ribera's Saint Mary of Egypt (1641; Musée Fabre, Montpellier) pictures the fourth-century ascetic in prayer. In hagiographic narratives, Mary of Egypt's transformation appears in relationship to physical ground. Denuded in the desert, Mary's skin was itself transformed: "dark as if burned by ... the sun," Sophronius recounts. Ribera's painting foregrounds this transformation in artistic terms. Mary does not only occlude herself within igneous terrain, but becomes it. The layers of oil and pigment composing her skin are reduced to the ground of the canvas. The pictorial conceit prompts reflection upon Mary's orientation to ground and its conceptual significance for the artist. For "the painter of asceticism," as Ribera was dubbed by Elías Tormo y Monzó, the ascetic image would also be bound to questions of the aesthetic: that is, the transformative capacities of a body of art and the pictorial grounds upon which that perceived transformation is based.

Who, I ask, did the work of tending – whether to an injured body or a damaged canvas? And how was this work conceptualized through painting?

Whereas anatomical drawings were commonly (re)produced, drawing that conceived of the body as a still-living space for intervention (i.e. surgery) faced particular aesthetic and scientific scrutiny.

Antonio Palomino closes his Life of Luisa Roldán (1652–1706) with tears: “[Roldán] could not complete the Images of Christ without tears (sin lagrimas).” His description confers a mirrored image of artist and artwork as two sets of lagrimas emerge before Roldán’s polychromed sculpture. Tears, of sculptor and sculpture, signal the completion of Life and Image. This paper dwells upon the tear—often confined within the category of postizo or “inessential addition”— as a site of material experimentation and authorial invention. I consider a range of tears—from polychrome Ecce Homo to terracotta Entombment, from glass to resinous amber—and the painted or prosthetic eyes from which they stem. Set against paper signatures discovered within Roldán’s sculpted bodies, I contextualize the emergent tear as a signatory and enlivening gesture. The lagrima will thus be viewed as an essential form: the materialized vision of the artist transfigured before her own Image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cbded90c2ff6101bf38cc9f/6c17d9e4-298e-4856-8df4-ee44a4f230ad/Goya%27s+Remedy+Print.png recent - Make it stand out University of Edinburgh, May 19, 2023. This talk – a follow up to “Goya’s Nothings” (December 7, 2022; see below) – takes the splitting of Goya’s copper plate as its point of departure. What might we learn, I ask, from Goya’s acts of artistic destruction and material reuse?
