Abstract

In Literature and Artistic Practice in the Sixteenth Century Angela Cerasuolo, art historian and restorer, tracks the technical processes of painting through the cross-analysis of literary texts and works of art. Having traced the critical fortunes of the texts of the authors-Leonardo, Vasari, Armenini, Borghini, Lomazzo-she compares the information on drawing and painting, analysing the specific terminology, and identifying the materials and methods. Central themes of the theoretical debate-'disegno', 'invenzione', the contrast between 'prestezza' and 'diligenza', the 'paragone'-are examined in the light of their relationship with the techniques. On the basis of scientific studies on the technical execution of paintings, works from the Capodimonte Museum, Naples are analysed as case studies.

Abstract

Making Copies in European Art 1400-1600 , edited by Maddalena Bellavitis, consists of 16 essays that explore the form and function, manner and meaning of copies after Renaissance works of art. The authors construe copying as a method of exchange based in the theory and practice of imitation, and they investigate the artistic techniques that enabled and facilitated the production of copies. They also ask what patrons and collectors wanted from a copy, which characteristics of an artwork were considered copyable, and where and how copies were stored, studied, displayed, and circulated. Making Copies in European Art , in addition to studying many unfamiliar pictures, incorporates previously unpublished documentary materials.

Abstract

Giovanni Pascoli (1855?1912) is one of Italy?s most canonical and beloved poets. In Beyond the Family Romance, Maria Truglio offers fresh insight into the uncanny qualities of Pascoli?s domestic verse. As suggested by the Freudian title, this study opens a dialogue between Pascoli?s literature and Freud?s theories, with a particular focus on each author?s interrogation of origins. Through close readings and historical contextualization, themes of regression, memory, and other manifestations of?origins? are analyzed, moving Pascoli?s poetry beyond the biographical strictures that have hitherto confined it. Truglio?s post-structuralist readings question the dichotomy between?safety within the home? and the?threatening outside world,? revealing the ambivalences with which images of the home are fraught in Pascoli?s poetry. In addition to the sustained comparison with Freud?s writing, Beyond the Family Romance explores parallels between Pascoli?s work and such writers as Tarchetti, Boito, Poe, and Invernizio. Rethinking the concept of the fanciullino (?little child?), Truglio shows that Pascoli?s poetry enacts a symbiosis between the logic of the rational modern adult and the mythic vision of the child.

Abstract

"S'engageant sur des questions iconographiques d'ordre astrologique, hiéroglyphique, emblématique et allégorique, cet ensemble de textes aborde ensuite le portrait du prince selon son apparence vestimentaire et les fonctions qui lui sont accordées. Une seconde partie examine le reflet du prince en son double, qu'il soit divinité mythologique, empereur ou général romain, et dégage les messages politiques qui en résultent pour magnifier les vertus du souverain et l'image de son gouvernement. La dialectique de l'exploit guerrier et du souci topographique s'impose ensuite pour célébrer le territoire, induire l'idée d'un pouvoir central ou métamorphoser l'histoire en mythe, tandis que la fin de l'ouvrage montre comment la représentation de l'espace urbain peut répondre de diverses manières aux enjeux de la mémoire et du pouvoir. Centré sur les notions de miroir et d'espace appliquées à la figure du prince dans le contexte italien de la Renaissance, cet ouvrage est traversé par deux axes de réflexion. Le premier est hérité de la tradition des Miroirs du prince où celui-ci doit se construire une image et se conformer à un idéal, généralement exprimé par un jeu de symboles, d'allégories et d'analogies. Le second tend à montrer que l'image du prince est bien moins élaborée en termes d'intériorité que tournée vers un réseau d'apparences et un système de rapports de force dont l'espace de la cour, de la cité et du territoire constitue le véritable enjeu et le terrain d'exercice."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

Quels liens l’art et la mort entretiennent-ils à la Renaissance ? Comment montrer la mort en peinture ? Quelles sont les œuvres les plus exemplaires produites en Italie ? Afin d’apporter quelques éléments de réponse, l’auteur s’est appuyé sur la littérature artistique des xve et xvie siècles. Le rassemblement des textes a permis de dégager les enjeux théoriques de la figure de la mort, de détecter les types figuratifs prônés par les théoriciens, et de repérer les œuvres les plus célébrées à la Renaissance. L’enquête débouche sur un constat surprenant : au trépas individuel réfléchi par la peinture s’oppose la Mort universelle dans les œuvres éphémères et la gravure, comme si deux imaginaires entraient en concurrence.

Abstract

Frans Floris de Vriendt radically transformed Netherlandish art. His monumental mythologies introduced a new appreciation for the heroic nude to the Low Countries and his religious art challenged standards of decorum. Born into a family of sculptors and architects, Floris refashioned his art through travel, first studying with the humanist painter Lambert Lombard in Liège and then continuing on to Italy. These experiences defined the hybridizing novelty of his art, forged by juxtaposing antique and modern, Italian and northern sources. This book maps Floris’s hybrid style onto shifting conceptions of cultural, religious, and political identity on the eve of the Dutch Revolt. It explores his collaborations and rivalries, engagement with artistic theory, hierarchical workshop, and revolutionary use of printing.
