Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis explores the transmission of information about classical inscriptions and their use in historical scholarship between 1530 and 1603. It aims to demonstrate that antiquarians' approach to one form of material non-narrative evidence for the ancient world reveals a developed sense of history, and that this approach can be seen as part of a more general interest in expanding the subject matter of history and the range of sources with which it was examined. It examines the milieu of the men who studied inscriptions, arguing that the training and intellectual networks of these men, as well as the need to secure patronage and the constraints of printing, were determining factors in the scholarship they undertook. It then considers the first collections of inscriptions that aimed at a comprehensive survey, and the systems of classification within these collections, to show that these allowed scholars to produce lists and series of features in the ancient world; the conventions used to record inscriptions and what scholars meant by an accurate transcription; and how these conclusions can influence our attitude to men who reconstructed or forged classical material in this period.

  • Barbarigo' by Titian in the National Gallery, London
    MA.JAN.MAZZOTTA.pg.proof.corrs_Layout 1 08/12/2011 15:31 Page 12 A ‘gentiluomo da Ca’ Barbarigo’ by Titian in the National Gallery, London by ANTONIO MAZZOTTA ‘AT THE TIME he first began to paint like Giorgione, when he was no more than eighteen, [Titian] made the portrait of a gen- tleman of the Barbarigo family, a friend of his, which was held to be extremely fine, for the representation of the flesh-colour was true and realistic and the hairs were so well distinguished one from the other that they might have been counted, as might the stitches in a doublet of silvered satin which also appeared in that work. In short the picture was thought to show great diligence and to be very successful. Titian signed it in the shadow, but if he had not done so, it would have been taken for Giorgione’s work. Meanwhile, after Giorgione himself had executed the principal façade of the Fondaco de’ Tedeschi, Titian, through Barbarigo’s intervention, was commissioned to paint certain scenes for the same building, above the Merceria’.1 Vasari’s evocative and detailed description, which would seem to be the result of seeing the painting in the flesh, led Jean Paul Richter in 1895 to believe that it could be identified with Titian’s Portrait of a man then in the collection of the Earl of Darnley at Cobham Hall and now in the National Gallery, London (Fig.15).2 Up to that date it was famous as ‘Titian’s Ariosto’, a confusion that, as we shall see, had been born in the seventeenth century.

  • LA VERÓNICA DE ZURBARÁN Victor I. STOICHITA*
    LA VERÓNICA DE ZURBARÁN Victor I. STOICHITA* Trad. Ana María CODERCH Plinio, el Viejo, consideraba la naturaleza muerta como un género menor. En su Naturalis Historia hace un juego de palabras entre los términos «rhopograp- hia» («pintura menor») y «rhyparografia» (pintura sucia). Uno de los más famo- sos «rhyparografoi» de la Antigŭedad, Sosos de Pérgamo, había, seg ŭn Plinio, realizado un mosaico en «trompe l'oeil» que fingía el suelo, sin barrer, de un sa- lán comedor («asarotos oikos»), es decir, presentaba una imagen en la que el en- gaño del ojo se asociaba a la naturaleza muerta I. Cuando, en el siglo xvii, la naturaleza muerta reaparece con nuevos bríos, la crítica artística se muestra muy reservada. El comentario erudito acude constante- mente a Plinio y se muestra poco partidario de incluir el «trompe-l'oeil» y la na- turaleza muerta en el género mayor 2• Desde este punto de vista, la obra de Zurbarán se nos plantea como una curio- sa paradoja: Zurbarán pintó una larga serie de retratos de Cristo 3 , que por * Catedrático de la Universidad de Friburgo.
