A Search for the Hidden King: Messianism, Prophecies and Royal Epiphanies of the Kings of Aragon (circa 1250-1520)
2019
Modern historiography has studied the influence of messianic and millennialist ideas in the Crown of Aragon extensively and, more particularly, how they were linked to the Aragonese monarchy. To date, research in the field of art history has mainly considered royal iconography from a different point of view: through coronation, historical or dynastic images. This article will explore the connections, if any, between millennialist prophetic visions and royal iconography in the Crown of Aragon using both texts and the figurative arts, bearing in mind that sermons, books and images shared a common space in late medieval audiovisual culture, where royal epiphanies took place. The point of depar…
Le infinite vite delle fotografie: l’ecologia delle immagini di Joachim Schmid
2015
The turn from analogue to digital photography requires rethinking the heuristic potential of this medium: in the last century, it was produced countless photos and we lost the sense of them. What should we do with all these pictures? Joachim Schimd reflects on the abundance and proliferation of images and he works to give them a future in the age when digital technology changes our sense of what it means to take a picture. So we need an ecology of images which consists in the re-use of all the existing photos by an aesthetics of remix able to reorganize the sense of the images.
Variación en la imagen de la Prudencia : entre la tradición y la «nueva visualidad»
2020
ABSTRACT: Although Italian influences prevail in the visual tradition of Prudence, beginning in the 15th century a new iconographic type emerges as a result of a «new visuality» deriving from French art. This innovation has been considered «monstrous» and breaking with the preceding visual tradition. However, this new visual manifestation is a result of the continuation of philosophic theories about Prudence. What is more, Italian art offers a response to the «new visuality» with another new iconographic type of the Prudence.

Visualising political thinking on the screen : a dialogue between von Trotta’s Hannah Arendt and its protagonist
2016
This article analyses Margarethe von Trotta’s film Hannah Arendt: The Woman Who Saw Banality in Evil through its protagonist’s own writings on visual culture, visibility and invisibility in the context of political thinking. We start by clarifying Arendt’s understanding of political theory as an activity aiming to provoke thinking. We then discuss systematically the visual language of the film and offer a typology of its representations of political thinking, subdivided into a part on internalisation and one on externalisation (dialogue). We emphasise von Trotta’s reliance on a negative approach, i.e. the representation of thinking through the absence of any other activity while thinking, c…
Visioni celesti. La pareidolia e l'immaginazione simbolica
2019
Attraverso la spiegazione di fenomeni percettivi quali l'apofenia e la pareidolia, il saggio approfondisce lo studio delle immaginazioni legate al dipinto della Vergine di Guadalupe, crasi iconografico-culturale che attesta l’incontro avvenuto nel XVI secolo tra la cultura europea e quella mesoamericana, che risulta essere una vera e propria collezione di immagini nascoste. L'esempio della Vergine di Guadalupe, e della sua immagine acheropita, inoltre, dice molto sulle molteplici sfumature dell'identità mariana che, benché fortemente radicata nella sfera sacra del cristianesimo, travalica i confini del simbolico per abbracciare il più vasto e laico orizzonte della cultura visuale. Through t…

'In altum mittis radices humilitatis'. A Study of Marian Images in touch with Nature
2019
espanolCiertos tipos iconograficos marianos se han mostrado especialmente propicios a las representaciones de la Virgen en relacion con algunos elementos naturales. La Madre de Dios se encuentra, a menudo, en contacto directo con la tierra en numerosas imagenes de la Virgen de la Humildad y en un jardin, rodeada de flores, en la Virgen de la Rosaleda; mientras que, tras su Asuncion, lirios y rosas asoman del sepulcro vacio. En todos estos casos, segun podemos inferir de su estudio iconografico, a partir de las fuentes patristicas y teologicas, la naturaleza es un simil de las virtudes de la Virgen, aunque no siempre. En algunas imagenes de la Scala Salutis, el suelo permite fijar a Maria en…
