    Homer's Odyssey and the Image of Penelope in Renaissance Art Giancarlo FIORENZA

    223 Homer's Odyssey and the Image of Penelope in Renaissance Art Giancarlo FIORENZA The epic heroine Penelope captured the Renaissance literary and artistic imagination, beginning with Petrarch and the recovery of Homer's poetry through its translation into Latin. Only a very small number of humanists in the 14'h century were able to read Homer in the Greek original, and Petrarch's friend Leontius Pilatus produced for him long-awaited Latin translations of the Iliad 1 and Odyssey in the 1360s • Profoundly moved by his ability to finally compre­ hend the two epics (albeit in translation), Petrarch composed a remarkable letter addressed to Homer in which he compares himself to Penelope: "Your Penelope cannot have waited longer nor with more eager expectation for her Ulysses than I did for you. At last, though, my hope was fading gradually away. Except for a few of the opening lines of certain books, from which there seemed to flash upon me the face of a friend whom I had been longing to behold, a momen­ tary glimpse, dim through the distance, or, rather, the sight of his streaming hair, as he vanished from my view- except for this no hint of a Latin Homer had come to me, and I had no hope of being able ever to see you face to face"'. The themes of anticipation and fulfillment, and longing and return that are associated with the figure of Penelope coincide with the rediscovery of ancient texts. To encounter Homer for the first time in a language with which one was 3 familiar was as much a personal as a literary experience • As Nancy Struever observes, Petrarch's Le Familiari, a collection of letters addressed to contemporary friends and ancient authors, values friendship and intimate exchange because 4 it leads to knowledge and affective reward • Books on their own (Le Familiari, XII, 6) constituted surrogate friends with whom Petrarch could correspond, con­ verse, exchange ideas, and share his affections.

    Reproduction and Authenticity in Bernard Picart's Impostures

    75 ANN JENSEN ADAMS REPRODUCTION AND AUTHENTICITY IN BERNARD PICART’S IMPOSTURES INNOCENTES In 1768, nearly thirty-five years after the death of Bernard Picart, English critic William Gilpin opined: Picart was one of the most ingenious of the French engravers. His imitations are among the most entertaining of his works. The cry, in his day, ran wholly in favour of antiquity: “No modern masters were worth looking at.” Picart, piqued at such prejudice, etched several pieces in imitation of ancient masters; and so happily, that he almost out-did, in their own excellencies, the artists whom he copied. These prints were much admired, as the works of guido, rembrandt, and others. Having had his joke, he published them under the title of Impostures innocentes.1 In the final years of his life, Bernard Picart — the leading illustrator to the French Huguenot–dominated book trade in the Netherlands — had written a defense of the reproductive prints that he intended to publish with a collection of some seventy- eight exemplary etchings by him after paintings, and particularly drawings, by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century masters as well as a handful after his own designs. A year after Picart’s death in 1733, his wife published his defense — titled “Discours sur les préjugés de certains curieux touchant la gravure” (A discourse on the prejudices of certain critics in regard to engraving) — and reproductive etch- ings along with a preface, a biography, and a catalog of his works under the title Impostures innocentes; ou, Recueil d’estampes d’après divers peintres illustres (1734; Innocent impostures; or, A collection of prints after various celebrated painters).2 Twenty-two years later, the essay and an abbreviated biography were published in English along with the original — and by that time deeply worn — plates.3 This culminated a life as one of Europe’s leading printmakers, first in Paris and after 1710 in the northern Netherlands.
