Un’aggiunta al catalogo di Agnolo Gaddi
Full text linkThis contribution proposes a new attribution in favour of Agnolo Gaddi, an important Florentine master that was active in the last quarter of the XIV century. Here we discuss a panel portraying the ‘Saint Julian and Saint Benedict’, donated by the De Piro family to the Cathedral Museum of Mdina, Malta, in 1995. The painting, wrongly exhibited as the work of an anonymous Florentine author dated around 1420, shows all the typical features of Gaddi’s style. A comparison is established with the cycle of frescoes of the Castellani chapel in Santa Croce, painted by Gaddi in the first half of the ninth decade of the XIV century, in order to give a specific chronological ambience to the Maltese painting. Furthermore, we propose that the panel could originally be a part of the polytptych of the ‘Madonna’ Contini, held at the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence.

Giovanni Bellini. La lentezza del genio
No full text“Uno dei grandi poeti d’Italia”: così Roberto Longhi definì Giovanni Bellini, indiscusso patriarca della moderna pittura veneziana ed europea. Della sua vicenda biografica e professionale si sa ancora troppo poco, tanto che se ne ignora perfino l’anno di nascita, anche se la sua carriera dovette probabilmente iniziare nei primi anni cinquanta del Quattrocento, per poi proseguire senza sosta fino alla morte, avvenuta nel novembre del 1516. La penuria di date certe e molte altre lacune oggettive rendono comunque sfuggente il percorso artistico di Giovanni, peraltro costellato di lavori sperimentali e non sempre coerenti tra loro, frutto di una ricerca lenta e costante, che talvolta sembra prendere pieghe inaspettate. Per tali motivi, la ricostruzione dell’attività di Bellini, e in particolare dei suoi inizi, resta impresa complicata e non risolta, che continua a dividere la critica. Questo volume si concentra appunto sui primi decenni del maestro e prova a gettare nuova luce sui tempi e sui modi in cui il fulgente astro belliniano sorse e maturò
Cronache pittoriche dal XIX secolo: Guido Reni e il Guercino secondo Stendhal
No full textIn 1817, Henri Beyle published his Histoire de la peinture en Italie and Rome, Naples et Florence (the first book written under his pen name Stendhal). These writings were different in nature and inspiration, but from both of them emerges a predilection for the painting of the Po valley region which was by no means straightforward or conventional. The present study, through a careful examination of Stendhal’s main works, focuses on the ideas and opinions developed by the French writer concerning the two most eminent Emilian painters of the 17th century, Guido Reni and Guercino. Stendhal had the opportunity to admire and become familiar with many masterpieces by these famous artists, both in the halls of the Musée Napoléon in Paris and during his long stays in Italy (especially in Milan, Bologna and Rome), and therefore to record important reflections and considerations in his writings (including Promenades dans Rome of 1829)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
