Sacred and Secular in Venetian Art from Paolo da Venezia to Titian Details
One of the leading scholars of Italian Renaissance art, Rona Goffen has published numerous essays on Venetian painting, with particular emphasis on images of women from the Virgin Mary to the goddess Venus. The twenty papers published here include several which have previously appeared only in Italian, now translated into English by Professor Goffen. The essays deal with a broad range of subjects including Paolo da Venezia's altarpiece for San Marco, Giovanni Bellini's religious and secular works, portraits by such masters as Carpaccio and Lotto, and Madonna paintings and nudes by Titian. The volume includes an introductory essay and a comprehensive index.Table of ContentsPreface Paolo Veneziano e Doge Andrea Dandolo: una nuova lettura della Pala Feriale Giovanni Bellini and the Altarpiece of St. Vincent Ferrer Bellini disegnatore e la sua attività giovanile Icon and Vision: Giovanni Bellini’s Half-Length Madonnas Bellini’s Altarpieces, Inside and Out Bellini, San Giobbe and Altar Egos Bellini’s Triptych Bellini archeologo; Giovanni Bellini’s Nude with Mirror Bellini’s Christ Crowned with Thorns: The Artist’s Epitaph Giovanni Bellini: il Rinascimento visto da Rialto Carpaccio’s Portrait of a Young Knight: Identity and Meaning Lotto’s Lucretia A Madonna by Lorenzo Lotto Wives and Mothers: Adultery, Madness, and Marital Misery in Titian’s Paduan Frescoes La donna nell’arte di Tiziano e nella società veneta nel primo ‘500: Due mogli, due madri, e alcune fantasie Titian’s Assunta: Santa Maria Gloriosa Titian’s Sacred and Profane Love: Individuality and Sexuality in a Renaissance Marriage Picture Sex, Space, and Social History in Titian’s Venus of Urbino Crossing the Alps: Portraiture in Renaissance Venice Additional Notes Index
