Appel à contribution : « What did women see? Gender and viewing experience in Early Modern Italy? », Chicago, CAA, 14-17 février 2024, date limite le 31 août 2023

In their homes, churches and neighborhoods women in early modern Italy were surrounded with a rich and diverse visual and material culture. Yet, apart from studies of women as collectors and patrons of the visual arts, until recently relatively little scholarly attention has been paid to their experience as viewers. How did women encounter, interpret and engage with the objects around them, whether altarpieces, portraits, public sculpture, devotional objects or decorative household goods? How were...

Parution : E. Toreno, « Netherlandish and Italian Female Portraiture in the Fifteenth Century. Gender, Identity, and the Tradition of Power », Amsterdam University Press, 2022

This book investigates the aesthetic and conceptual characteristics of fifteenth-century female portraiture on panel. Portraits of women increased substantially during this century.

The crucial impetus for the visual realization of this ideal came from Venice’s greatest artist: Titian. For him, artistic beauty...
