Dal kētos al sēnmurv? Mutazioni iconografiche e transizioni simboliche del kētos dall’Antichità al Medioevo (secolo XIII)
2016
Using literary and iconographic sources the paper discusses the image of kētos from Antiquity to Middle Ages. The kētos, according with Greek literature, was used in the myths of both Perseus and Andromeda and Heracles and Hesione. The archaic images of the sea-monster are identifiable on Corinthian vases, on which we have only heads of leonine form. From 5th century the classical type of kētos is distinguished from all other Greek sea-monsters by a long neck, fins (also like wings), long muzzle and corrugated upper surface (like a crocodile), and leonine forelegs. Separated from histories of Andromeda and Hesione, the kētos is represented as a mount of marine gods and, especially, Nereides…

Identità storico-artistica nell’età bizantina e medievale” ha avuto per oggetto la città ed il suo hinterland, identificati come fulcro e snodo di realtà monumentali e storico-artistiche particolarmente significative.

FROM Δηομένη TO Madonna dell’Itria... AND VICEVERSA. TWO MARIAN ICONOGRAPHIES SUPERIMPOSED IN A “PALIMPSEST WALL” OF MARSALA (TP)

The oldest dated back from the late twelfth to early thirteenth century displaying a “velarium” in the lower register. Overhead we see a Madonna in prayer (Δηομένη) preceded by a theory of Saints. A second layer, from the 15th century, decisively changes the original iconography thus transforming it into the typically Sicilian iconography of the “Madonna dell’Itria”. The Child, positioned in the center of the Mother’s breast, sits inside a chest supported by two old chants. The latter devotional image, due to the perishability of the plas…
