A CERTAIN number of the drawings ascribed to Pisanello, both in the Recueil Vallardi in the Louvre and elsewhere, are copies, more or less free, of antique originals.1 The doubts which have been expressed, by Courajod among others, as to the authenticity of some of these drawings are fully justified in the case of those which reproduce ancient coins. Thus we have, on fol. 12. no. 2266 v° of the Recueil Vallardi, a coin with the head of Augustus wearing a radiate crown, inscribed DIVVS AVGVSTVS PATER, and a head of young Heracles in a lion's skin, doubtless taken from a tetradrachm of Alexander the Great.

Firenze University Press 1 Reti Medievali Rivista, 14, 1 (2013) <http://rivista.retimedievali.it> ISSN 1593-2214 © 2012 Firenze University Press DOI 10.6092/1593-2214/388 The emergence of the duchy of Milan: language and the territorial state di Jane Black The map that appears opposite page one of Bueno de Mesquita’s biography of Giangaleazzo Visconti is labelled Northern and Central Italy, showing the ter- ritories of Giangaleazzo Visconti in 1402; no area on the map is identified as 1 the Duchy of Milan . The titles bestowed on Giangaleazzo by Wenceslas, king of the Romans, in 1395 and 1396 had raised Milan initially, and then the other Vis- 2 conti territories in Lombardy, to the status of duchy . Giangaleazzo himself al- luded to his cities collectively as such: in the testament of 1397, produced in the first flush of his acquisition of the second diploma, he appointed his son Giovanni Maria heir to two areas – «the duchy, or rather the city and diocese of Milan», and «the duchy of the cities of Brescia, Cremona, Bergamo, Como, Lodi, Piacenza, 3 Parma, Reggio and Bobbio» . The duke would surely have been disappointed that his greatest achievement was not recognized on Bueno de Mesquita’s map. And yet the author’s terminology was more realistic than Giangaleazzo’s: it would take more than a dazzling diploma to create a new territory with a name and a rec- ognized identity.

  • The Body Politic Metaphor in Communal and Post-Communal Italy – Some Remarks on the Case of Lombardy
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by AIR Universita degli studi di Milano The Body Politic Metaphor in Communal and Post-Communal Italy – Some Remarks on the Case of Lombardy Andrea Gamberini University of Milan [email protected] Abstract This paper uses the body politic metaphor to explore the dialectic of power between different political players in communal and post-communal Lombardy. On the one hand, notions of corporeal links, drawing upon an ancient and venerable tradition, were key strands of public debate on state formation in the Late Middle Ages. On the other hand, there were distinctively communal and post- communal discourses based upon the body politic metaphor. My purpose is to investigate all of these aspects through analysis of the so-called “pragmatic writings” (such as letters, decrees, notarial deeds), sources usually overlooked by historians of political thought. As is shown in this paper, the novelty of this approach makes it possible to appreciate corporeal metaphors as performative tools and instruments of political action. Keywords City communes – Lombardy – Duchy of Milan – Body politic – political discourse 1. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to trace a brief history of the use of corporeal metaphors in political discourse in the Po Valley (i.e., Lombardy) in the communal and post-communal ages. As will be shown, there are many sources in political literature that establish an analogy between the political body and the human body. This is not particularly surprising; medieval Europe inherited corporeal metaphors from diverse cultural traditions, ranging from the theological tradition (think of the famous image of the body and limbs handed down from the first of Paul’s Letters to the Corinthians 1 – “But now are they many members, but yet one body”; 12:20) to the classical tradition (going from Plato and Aristotle to Livy).1 These terminological genealogies have been extensively investigated by historians of political thought.

  • Altichiero in the Fifteenth Century, RIHA Journal 0073
    RIHA Journal 0073 | 12 August 2013 Oblivion Deferred: Altichiero in the Fifteenth Century John Richards Editing and peer review managed by: Claudia Hopkins, Visual Arts Research Institute Edinburgh (VARIE), Edinburgh Reviewers: Flavio Boggi, Tom Tolley Abstract Altichiero was the dominant north Italian painter of the later Trecento. In Padua, in the 1370s and early 1380s, he worked for patrons close to Petrarch and his circle and perhaps in direct contact with the poet himself. By the time of the second edition of Vasari's Vite (1568) the memory of Altichiero's work had suffered significant occlusion, and Vasari's account of him is little more than an appendix to his life of Carpaccio. Only since the later nineteenth century, and particularly in the last fifty or so years, has Altichiero's reputation been restored. It is the purpose of this paper to examine aspects of that reputation throughout the century or so after the painter's death (by April 1393). Contents Introduction Marin Sanuto and Flavio Biondo Michele Savonarola Conclusion Introduction [1] The complex polarities of fame and infamy, fame and death, contemporary reputation and posthumous glory occupied a central place in early renaissance thought, above all in that of Petrarch (1304-74). Not the least of his contributions to renaissance culture was the extension of these polarities to the lives of artists. The main thrust of his piecemeal eulogy of Giotto (1266/7-1337), pronounced in various contexts, was that the painter's reputation was founded on demonstrable substance, and therefore deserved to survive. Dante (c.1265-1321) famously chose to illustrate the shifting nature of celebrity by means of Giotto's eclipse of Cimabue (c.1240-1302) but without commenting on the justice or injustice of the transference of fame involved.1 Petrarch's concerns were rather different.

Jewitt, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2014 Landscape painting assumed a new prominence in Venetian painting between the late fifteenth to early sixteenth century: this study aims to understand why and how this happened. It begins by redefining the conception of landscape in Renaissance Italy and then examines several ambitious easel paintings produced by major Venetian painters, beginning with Giovanni Bellini’s (c.1431- 36-1516) St. Francis in the Desert (c.1475), that give landscape a far more significant role than previously seen in comparable commissions by their peers, or even in their own work. After an introductory chapter reconsidering all previous hypotheses regarding Venetian painters’ reputations as accomplished landscape painters, it is divided into four chronologically arranged case study chapters.

He was acclaimed by poets such as Guarino da Verona and praised by humanists of his time who compared him to such illustrious names as Cimabue, Phidias and Praxiteles. Pisanello is known for his resplendent frescoes in large murals, elegant portraits, small easel pictures, and many brilliant drawings. He is the most important commemorative portrait medallist in the first half of the 15th century. He was employed by the Doge of Venice, the Pope in the Vatican and the courts of Verona, Ferrara, Mantua, Milan, Rimini, and by the King of Naples.

  • Andrea Gamberini, Università Di Milano the Emotions of the State. a Survey of the Visconti Chancery Language (Mid 14TH- Mid 15TH Centuries)
    Andrea Gamberini, Università di Milano The Emotions of the State. A Survey of the Visconti Chancery Language (Mid 14TH- Mid 15TH Centuries) Although emotions as a field of historical research have come to the fore since the late 1990s, the interest aroused by this subject among the scholars of the Italian Renaissance state has been limited, at least so far. Apart from an important study on Lombard factions by Marco Gentile, and the very recent insight of Isabella Lazzarini into the Florentine diplomatic records, nothing else has been published. 1 On these grounds I have decided to take up some suggestions coming from scholars of other periods of the Middle Ages, and to analyze the case-study of the duchy of Milan from the angle of the relationship between politics and emotions. 2 Unlike Isabella Lazzarini, I am not going to predominantly focus on diplomatic records, which also, of course, represent an extraordinary source for the duchy of Milan but I am more interested in probing into the relations between governors and governed; between the duke and his subjects. In order to appreciate the distinctive features of the latter, it is probably necessary to take the former as a starting point, to have a term of comparison. Therefore let us have a very quick look at the language of diplomatic practice and its emotional register. Since the beginning of their rise to power, the Visconti deployed emotionality in their diplomatic correspondences. Politics was, and still is, the art of persuading, so it is hardly surprising that foreign affairs were edged by the Visconti’s chancellors within the framework of friendship/enmity, love/hatred or happiness/sadness.

Ritrovatasi improvvisamente a gestire il potere dopo la morte del marito Gian Galeazzo Visconti, la prima duchessa di Milano ha avuto un ruolo centrale nei primi anni del governo del figlio Giovanni Maria 1 , ma i suoi meriti politici non le sono stati accreditati dalla storiografia successiva che anzi ha sminuito il suo valore dandone un’immagine decisamente negativa.
