Parution : Alice S. Legé, “La villa Altoviti ai Prati di Castello. Eclissi di un paesaggio fluviale”, Rome, Officina Libraria, 2024

Nel 1524 il banchiere fiorentino Bindo Altoviti acquista per sé e per i suoi «heredi una vigna posta drieto a Castel Santo Agnolo», presso un’ansa del Tevere che si affaccia strategicamente verso il porto di Ripetta. Circondato da vigneti, canneti e orti, il casino nobile e il suo giardino si incardinano in una struttura composita, nobilitata da una loggia affrescata da Giorgio Vasari nel 1553. Mai completamente indagata dalla critica, villa Altoviti fu gravemente danneggiata...

Parution : Jérémie Koering, « Iconophages: A History of Ingesting Images », Princeton, Princeton University Press, 2024

Eating and drinking images may seem like an anomalous notion but, since antiquity, in the European and Mediterranean worlds, people have swallowed down frescoes, icons, engravings, eucharistic hosts stamped with images, heraldic wafers, marzipan figures, and other sculpted dishes. Either specifically made for human consumption or diverted from their original purpose so as to be ingested, these figured artifacts have been not only gazed upon but also incorporated—taken into the body—as solids or liquids. How...

Parution : Michel Weemans, Stijn Bussels, Karl Enenkel et Elliott D. Wise, “Imago and Contemplatio in the Visual Arts and Literature (1400-1700)”, Leyde, Brill, 2024

Parution : Elizabeth L’Estrange, “Anne de Graville and Women’s Literary Networks in Early Modern France”, Martlesham, Boydell & Brewer, 2023

First detailed reconstruction of Anne de Graville’s library, establishing her as one of the most well-read and erudite poets of the period. In the 1520s, the French noblewoman Anne de Graville composed two poetic works, based on older, canonical, male-authored texts: Giovanni Boccaccio’s Teseida and Alain Chartier’s Belle dame sans mercy. The first, the Beau roman, she offered to Claude, queen of France and wife of Francis I, and the second, the Rondeaux, to the king’s mother, Louise of Savoy....
