Lavinia Fontana's Freedom
This essay searches for the meaning of the medal commemorating Bolognese painter Lavinia Fontana (1552–1614). While doing so, it rediscovers what has been regarded as an interesting but derivative object to be a most sophisticated artwork. Fontana's medal was not just an honour: it was a cultural intervention that addressed multiple cultural debates taking place across central Italy, from the nature of emblems to women's worth. While presenting s…
Measuring in the Renaissance
During the Renaissance, measuring played a critical role in shaping trade, material production (ranging from architecture to tailoring), warfare, legal studies, and even our understanding of the heavens and hell. This study delves into the applications of measuring, with a particular emphasis on the Italian states, and traces its wide-ranging cultural effects. The homogeneization of measurements was endorsed as a means to achieve political unity.…

Fashion’s Measure
The clothes sported by young Italian men in the 1340s—tunics cropped at the pelvis, slouchy hoods, large bags hanging from metallic belts—were as daring as their emergence was sudden and mysterious. Scholars have generally associated their appearance with Italy’s rampant mercantilism and even regarded them as the first occurrence of fashion; yet, as this essay notices, their descriptions mostly draw from the language of size, thus encouraging the…

Watery Manes. Reversing the Stream of Thought about Quattrocento Italian Heads
A study of 15th Century Italian hairstyles, based on a quote on water movement by Leonardo da Vinci in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. The article continues by looking at other artists' depiction of hair, including Mariano di Jacopo, Verrocchio and Botticelli
Measuring the Bones
Scale to Size
Scale hides in plain sight. As much is made clear in Cildo Meireles's photograph of Southern Cross, the work made by the Brazilian artist between 1969 and 1970 (plate 1). Nine millimetres square, the wooden cube is so apparently tiny as to make it impossible not to think initially of its size. But its position on the tip of a finger calls specific attention to its scale, or rather to the experience that arises out of seeing the cube resting preca…
Between Form and Representation
The subject of Giovanni Bellini's St Francis , currently housed at the Frick Collection in New York, has perplexed viewers for more than five centuries. Scholars have suggested several possible texts, but none of these has been proven unequivocally to be Bellini's reference. Instead of proposing a new written source, this paper focuses on the formal aspects of the painting. It will thus appear that Bellini bent the representational conventions of…
