While we are naturally always inclined to love, those people give themselves over to love things that are hardly fruitful, only for their own pleasure, such as Paintings, Sculptures, medals, or similar things. And they love them so dearly that those same things manage to satisfy their desires, as if their desire had been satisfied by real Love that has to be between man and woman.1 Giuseppe Orologi, comment on Ovid’s Metamorphoses (1578) As Giuseppe Orologi, a writer with connections to Titian, makes clear in his commentary on Ovid’s story of the sculptor Pygmalion, some people of his 1 ‘L’amore di Pigmaleone, alla figura di Avorio fatta da le sue mani, ci da essempio

    The Hypnerotomachia Poliphili: Image and Text in a Renaissance Romance April Oettinger Winston-Salem, North Carolina B.A., Colgate University, 1994 M.A., University of Virginia, 1996 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McIntire Department of Art University of Virginia May2000 To my parents, ever supportive guides in my ongoing discovery of the forestand the trees; To Carrie, my companionon those early journeys through the Dark Forest; and To Max, my Poliphilo. 11 © Copyright by April Oettinger AllRights Reserved May2000 ill Acknowledgments I am indebted to numerous friendsand colleagues who have guided and enriched my journey at every turn. My advisors Paul Barolskyand David Summers first encouraged me to pursue my studies of the Polifilo; their unflagging support sustained me throughout, and their example continues to inspire me to follow in Poliphilo's path. My other readers, Francesca Fiorani and David Van Der Muelen provided valuable suggestions andadvice on patronage, dedications, and incunabula. I also wish to expressmy gratitude to Anne Schutte, Alistair Fowler, Deborah Parker, Martin Colker, and Terry Bellanger for stimulating conversations and generous advice, and Martin Colker and Thomas Govero for their assistance with the translations of Leonardo Grassi's dedication of the Polifiloand Ludovico Odassio's dedication of the Comucopiae. I am also grateful to Linda Carroll, Wendy Steadman Sheard, Patricia Fortini Brown, Wolfgang Wolters, Louisa Matthews, Anne Barriault,Norman Land, Ralph Lieberman, DeborahHoward, Jurgen Schultz, Ann Markam Schultz, and Mark SamuelsLasner forthought-provoking conversations at home and abroad. A Dupont Fellowship fromthe University of Virginia in 1998-1999 and a Fulbright Fellowship in 1999-2000 enabled me to continue my research in Italy, where I was fortunate to explore the holdings of several marvelous libraries.

    02 Howard 1630 13/11/08 11:01 Page 29 ITALIAN LECTURE Architectural Politics in Renaissance Venice DEBORAH HOWARD St John’s College, Cambridge WHATISTHE ROLE OF ARCHITECTURE in the self-definition of a political regime? To what extent are the ideologies of state communicated in public space? Can public confidence be sustained by extravagant building initiatives—or be sapped by their failures? These issues are, of course,as relevant today as they were in the Renaissance.Venice,in particular,seems closer to our own times than most other Early Modern states because of its relatively ‘democratic’ constitution, at least within the ranks of the rul- ing oligarchy. It was a democracy only for noblemen, since voting rights and eligibility for important committees and councils were limited to members (men only, numbering about 2,000) of a closed, hereditary caste. Nevertheless,many of the problems over decision-making ring true to modern ears.Indeed, it could be argued that the continual revision of public building projects during their execution is an essential characteristic of the democratic process. It has been claimed by architectural historians over the past few decades that ambitious programmes of building patronage in Renaissance Venice helped to communicate political ideals to the public.1 Read at the Academy 10 May 2007. 1 See,for example,Manfredo Tafuri, Jacopo Sansovino (Padua, 1969; 2nd edn., 1972); Deborah Howard, Jacopo Sansovino: Architecture and Patronage in Renaissance Venice (New Haven & London, 1975; rev.edn., 1987); Manfredo Tafuri, ‘“Renovatio urbis Venetiarum”: il problema storiografico’, in M.

Introduction The Other Voice In 1415, the young and still unmarried Francesco Barbaro (1390–1454) wrote the revolutionary treatise The Wealth of Wives (De re uxoria) that posits the value a wife contributes to a marriage as the mother of offspring.1 It is revolutionary because it identifies the mother—a woman, not a man; an interloper in the house- hold, not its patriarch—as the critical figure for the rearing of the young and, consequently, for the social and cultural reproduction of the noble family.

  • Collaborative Painting Between Minds and Hands: Art Criticism, Connoisseurship, and Artistic Sodality in Early Modern Italy
    Collaborative Painting Between Minds and Hands: Art Criticism, Connoisseurship, and Artistic Sodality in Early Modern Italy by Colin Alexander Murray A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Colin Murray 2016 Collaborative Painting Between Minds and Hands: Art Criticism, Connoisseurship, and Artistic Sodality in Early Modern Italy Colin Alexander Murray Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2016 Abstract The intention of this dissertation is to open up collaborative pictures to meaningful analysis by accessing the perspectives of early modern viewers. The Italian primary sources from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries yield a surprising amount of material indicating both common and changing habits of thought when viewers looked at multiple authorial hands working on an artistic project. It will be argued in the course of this dissertation that critics of the seventeenth century were particularly attentive to the practical conditions of collaboration as the embodiment of theory. At the heart of this broad discourse was a trope extolling painters for working with what appeared to be one hand, a figurative and adaptable expression combining the notion of the united corpo and the manifold meanings of the artist’s mano. Hardly insistent on uniformity or anonymity, writers generally believed that collaboration actualized the ideals of a range of social, cultural, theoretical, and cosmological models in which variously formed types of unity were thought to be fostered by the mutual support of the artists’ minds or souls. Further theories arose in response to Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo’s hypothesis in 1590 that the greatest painting would combine the most highly regarded old masters, each contributing their particular talents towards the whole.

  • Nicolo Massa, His Family and His Fortune
    Medical History, 1981,25: 385-410. NICOLO MASSA, HIS FAMILY AND HIS FORTUNE by RICHARD PALMER* THE VARIED interests of the Venetian physician Nicolo Massa (d. 1569) found expres- sion in a range of publications on subjects which included anatomy, syphilis, plague and other pestilential fevers, venesection, and logic. Successful as a writer, he was also renowned as a practitioner and as a teacher, though he never held a university chair. He combined a shrewd common sense and an eye to business with a flair for self- advertisement, for the telling story in which he appeared more acute and resourceful than his fellows. The result was success, and Massa became a rich man. Not surprisingly in view of his many interests and self-dramatizing character, Massa has caught the attention of a succession of historians.' But there are still aspects of his career which deserve to be better known, and sources which have been largely overlooked. These include a rich vein of biographical information running through Cicogna's monumental work on Venetian inscriptions.2 This material is important because Cicogna had access to family papers in the possession of a descendant of Nicolo's nephew Lorenzo, especially Nicolo's biographical notes con- cerning himself and his family, dated 1565, and a draft will, dated 1566, the second of the three he is known to have made. Although the present whereabouts of these papers is not known, Cicogna has left a useful indication of their contents. In addition, a new source relating to Nicol6 Massa has recently come to light in Venice at the Istituzioni di Ricovero e di Educazione.3 Amongst the archives preserved at the Istituzioni are those of the Zitelle, founded in 1560 to house and protect girls in moral danger.
