Giuseppe Salviati a Venezia, 1540-1575 : indagini e ricerche sulla produzione figurativa e sul lascito letterario
No full textDespite being one of the most interesting and controversial characters in the grand sweep of artistic activity in Venice during the Cinquecento, the painter Giuseppe Salviati – Tuscan by birth but active on the lagoon between the 1550s and 1570s – has never been the subject of major attention in studies of art history. By using new documentation, part unedited, and retrieving sources that hitherto have been neglected, this research retraces his life and professional dealings, shedding light on the principal features that characterise his artistic career: the imitation of Raphael that marks his first phase (c. 1540-1555); the intellectual commitments and prominent position in the world of Venetian scholarship that accompany his full maturity (c. 1555-1575). The first two chapters examine some of the significant public commissions executed by Salviati during his first years in Venice, providing evidence among other things for the role taken by the patrician class in the promotion of his pictorial language, rich in echoes of Rome and reminiscences of Raphael. The central section is entirely dedicated to an analysis of the ceiling of the Libreria Marciana and proposes a new reading of its images and their content, suggesting a possible connection with the cases made for cultural renewal by the Accamedia Veneziana. The last part concentrates on Salviati’s close relationship with notable men of letters and humanists in the period, from Ettore Ausonio to Jacopo Contarini, and concludes with a detailed discussion of Cod. Marc. It. IV, n. 30 (5094), which includes the astrological and phonetic studies undertaken by the painter in the latter years of his life. What emerges in particular from this final section is the profile of a true peintre savant who, in many ways, anticipated a social category that would become characteristic of the cultural universe of the Seicento.Figura tra le più interessanti e controverse nel panorama artistico veneziano del Cinquecento, Giuseppe Salviati – pittore di origine toscana, attivo in laguna tra quinto e settimo decennio – non è mai stato oggetto di grande attenzione da parte degli studi storico artistici. Attraverso l’utilizzo di nuova documentazione in parte inedita e il recupero di fonti finora trascurate, questa ricerca ripercorre le sue vicende biografiche e professionali, mettendo in luce i principali aspetti che caratterizzano la sua carriera artistica: l’imitazione raffaellesca che ne connota la prima stagione (1540-1555 circa), e l’impegno intellettuale a fianco di personalità di spicco del mondo accademico veneziano che scandisce la sua piena maturità (1555-1575 circa). I primi due capitoli analizzano quindi alcune importanti imprese pubbliche realizzate da Salviati durante i suoi primi anni a Venezia, evidenziando tra l’altro il ruolo svolto dal patriziato nella promozione del suo linguaggio pittorico, ricco di echi romani e di reminiscenze raffaellesche. La sezione centrale è interamente dedicata all’analisi del soffitto della Libreria Marciana, di cui viene avanzata una nuova proposta di lettura delle immagini e del loro contenuto, suggerendo un possibile contatto con le istanze di rinnovamento culturale promosse dall’Accademia Veneziana. L’ultima parte si occupa infine dei rapporti stretti con alcuni importanti letterati e umanisti di questo periodo, da Ettore Ausonio a Jacopo Contarini, e si conclude con uno studio approfondito del codice marciano 5094, che raccoglie le indagini di astrologia e fonetica compiute dal pittore nell’ultima fase della sua carriera. Quanto emerge in particolare da quest’ultima sezione è il profilo di un vero e proprio peintre savant, che per molti versi anticipa una categoria umana e sociale che sarà caratteristica soprattutto dell’universo culturale seicentesco
Tra poesia e pittura: versi di Francesco Zannio per Giuseppe Salviati
Get PDFGiuseppe Salviati, the painter Tuscan by birth but active in Venice between 1540 and 1575, is known for his
remarkable achievements in the mathematics and astrology, and for his close connection with notable men of
letters, humanists and literati. This article outlines his relationship with Francesco Zannio, a little-known
but highly prolific poet and the author of an ecfrasis of Salviati’s paintings in Palazzo Ducale published in
1567. His corpus of poems is now increased by a newly rediscovered latin eulogy dedicated to Salviati, which
praises his virtuosity and commends his mastery as a painter
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Tra critica e salvaguardia. Luigi Coletti e la difesa delle opere d’arte mobili durante il secondo conflitto mondiale
No full textIn recent years, there has been a growing interest in the protection of the Italian artistic heritage amidst periods of armed conflicts, which has generated a wealth of historical analysis. Based on new archival research, this article focuses on the case of Luigi Coletti (1886-1961), a prominent art historian who exemplified unwavering commitment to the preservation of movable works of art in Treviso and its environs during World War II. The essay meticulously examines the intricacies of mobilizing artworks between 1940 and 1943, encompassing aspects such as transportation and secure recovery in local shelters. Furthermore, it delves into the rigorous selection process employed to identify the artworks worthy of protection. Coletti emerges as a model of scholarly dedication, demonstrating a profound devotion to conserving the artistic legacy of his region
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
