The Poetics of Portraiture in the Italian Renaissance.

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Stain on the inner cover. Otherwise very good and clean. - Einband befleckt auf der Innenseite. Sonst sehr gut. - This book considers the changing conception of Italian portraiture in the sixteenth century. Focusing on paintings by Giorgione, Titian, Parmigianino, and Raphael, among others, Jodi Cranston explores the significance of the formal inventions that address the presence of the beholder, particularly the introduction of a range of poses and self-reflexive gestures, and how such a visual dialogue with the beholder encourages the viewer to perceive the portrait as open and responsive rather than as a fixed commemoration of the past. Cranston also analyzes the term �portrait� as it was used in Renaissance literature, which describes a resemblance of minds and affections between the sitter and the viewer derived from encounters such as those between speaker and listener, lover and beloved, self and other. Bringing together a wide range of literary and visual sources and applying methods derived from literary theory and structural analysis, this study demonstrates how sixteenth-century portraits extended contemporary efforts to perceive and receive painting as a kind of poetry.
