Electrochemical identification of painters/workshops: The case of Valencian Renaissance-Baroque painters (ca. 1550- ca. 1670)
2019
[EN] The voltammetry of immobilized particles (VIMP) methodology was applied to discriminate the oil painting production of a series of seven painters/workshops that worked in Valencia (Spain) between ca. 1530 and ca. 1650. When submicrosamples used for cross-section FESEM/EDX analysis were attached to graphite electrodes in contact with aqueous acetate buffer, well-defined responses were obtained. The reductive processes of lead pigments (lead white and lead-tin yellow) overlapped those associated to the lead soaps and other species resulting from the pigment-oil binder interaction in the sample. Such responses, which are theoretically modeled, were sensitive to changes in paint type and d…
L’altro sapere. Bello, Arte, Immagine in Leon Battista Alberti
2000
The great attention that, during the past few years, has been paid to Leon Battista Alberti has led to the creation of research centers and to the organization of exhibitions and conferences dedicated to him, but it has yet to result, especially in Italy, in a new approach to his aesthetic theories. This represents a serious scholarly gap, because Alberti was an important figure in the history of aesthetics, both for the role he played in the aesthetic and literary debates of the 15th century, as well as for the impact that his thought had on theory and art in subsequent centuries. The present volume constitutes an important tool to fill such gap. The volume centers on three key concepts: b…
Il "De equo animante" di Leon Battista Alberti: una teoria della bellezza?
2010
Il De equo animante si presenta come un trattato tecnico ed erudito, piuttosto che artistico, in quanto rielabora notizie attinte dalle auctoritates in materia di ippologia. Tuttavia, a partire dal concetto di “vitalità”, messo in rilievo fin dal titolo, è possibile individuare due percorsi che consentono di rileggere il testo all’interno dell’estetica albertiana: il primo si snoda in seno stesso alla teoria della bellezza e mette in luce una concezione estetica che si risolve nella funzionalità; il secondo interpreta il concetto di “vitalità” nel senso dell’enargeia, della “vivezza rappresentativa”, qualità fondamentale delle opere d’arte. A conclusione di queste analisi e alla luce dell’o…
Divisas o empresas históricas de damas. Algunos testimonios (siglos XV y XVI)
2019
ABSTRACT: Devices, badges or imprese, modalities of emblematics, were used by women between the 14th and 17th centuries, although less frequently than by men. This study analyses a little more than two dozen historical devices of ladies of the XVth and XVIth centuries from the perspective of emblematic genre theory. It deals with various aspects such as the structure, the personal involvement of the owners in the design of their devices, the purpose andmanners of displaying wit employed in their composition, etc., and concludes that there are no noticeable differences between women's devices and the masculine ones, except that the impreseof ladies crafted for special occasions (to display i…
El viaje triunfal de Carlos V por Sicilia tras la victoria de Túnez
2016
ABSTRACT: In 1535 Emperor Charles V made a triumphant journey to the north of Sicily after the victory of Tunisia. The triumphal entries made in the Sicilian cities featured ceremonial elements which would later be imitated by the other Italian cities that received the Emperor. The Roman-style triumph and the chivalric romances are the main models used in the ephemeral decorations, which would have important consequences in European art of the period. KEYWORDS: Charles V, Sicily, Tunisia, Triumphal Entries, Renaissance, Santa Cruz. RESUMEN: En el ano 1535 el emperador Carlos V realiza un viaje triunfal por el norte de Sicilia tras la victoria de Tunez. En las entradas realizadas en las ciud…
Das erste zoologische Kompendium in der Zeit der Renaissance: Edward Wottons Schrift „Über die Differenzen der Tiere”
1990
The English physian Edward Wotton wrote the first zoological compendium in the time of the Renaissance. As a convinced representative of Renaissance-Humanism Wotton strictly applied Aristotelian methodological principles to Aristotelian facts. In this way he tried to make Classical Antiquity complete; the Renaissance of ancient zoology is here tantamount to a new beginning. Wotton's achievement is in the first place to have provided a good summary of the whole of ancient zoological knowledge to which he added a few observations of his own. He carried through the Aristotelian concept of differentiation by many distinguishing features more strictly than Aristotle himself and all subsequent au…

De venta en venta hasta El <i>Quijote</i>. Un viaje europeo por la literatura de Mesón
2007
En estas páginas se recorre un itinerario que, a través de ventas y mesones, conduce desde los Canterbury Tales hasta el Quijote, en una geografía literaria europea. Se hace parada en las colecciones italianas de novelle (Sachetti, Bandello), en los poemas caballerescos del Renacimiento (Pulci, Ariosto), en el teatro del Quinientos (de Gil Vicente a Lope de Rueda, pasando por los Intronati de Siena), en la Comedia Nueva y en las comedias de mesón de Lope de Vega, en el teatro isabelino (Shakespeare sobre todo), en el Guzmán de Alfarache, en La ilustre fregona (novela y comedia), y así hasta el Quijote, en cuya multiplicada experiencia de ventas y caminos demoramos el paso. Nos acompaña siem…
Self-Translation in the Northern Renaissance: Jan van der Noot’s French Verse
2020
The Brabantian poet Jan van der Noot (1539-95?) wrote in both Dutch and French, and composed several works in both languages. Sometimes the two versions were published separately: the Dutch collection Het Theatre and its French counterpart, Le Theatre, were each printed in London in 1568. More often, the versions appeared alongside each other in bilingual editions: Cort begryp der XII boeken Olympiados / Abregé des douze livres Olympiades (1579), Lofsang van Braband / Hymne de Braband (1580), and various short pieces reproduced in anthologies of Van der Noot’s poetry (1580-95). The present study contends that Van der Noot’s self-translations should be read as translations from Dutch to Fren…
Les ducs de Bourbon (de Louis II au connétable de Bourbon) : leurs pouvoirs et leur pouvoir
1993
Trois remarques préalables s'imposent : 1. Louis II a été le troisième duc de Bourbon. Pourtant il est le premier que l'on peut considérer comme un prince ; le grand seigneur se fait prince. 2. Dans les ouvrages que j'ai écrits ou dirigés sur l'Histoire du Bourbonnais, j'ai toujours considéré que le Moyen Age en Bourbonnais se prolongeait jusqu'aux années 1523 (fuite du connétable)-1527 (mort du connétable). Le connétable de Bourbon est un prince médiéval. Cela pouvait paraître original, il y...
