No full textParution: "Leonardo in Dialogue. The Artist Amid His Contemporaries", édité par Alessandro Nova, Francesca Borgo, Rodolfo Maffeis, publié par Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz, Max-Planck-Institut. Leonardo is often considered an artist apart, isolated in his greatness. This book is about to be combined with broader conditions of art making. It is therefore designed to deliver the rich and challenging nature of Leonardo's studies under the collective consideration and scrutiny of scholar..
Benedetto Luti: l'ultimo maestro
No full textVissuto in un secolo di ambizioni enciclopediche e attraversato da movimenti internazionali, Benedetto Luti (Firenze, 1666 - Roma, 1724) fu nel suo tempo un pittore importante e celebre. Per tutto il Settecento parlano di lui le biografie d’artisti, sia di parte romana sia di parte fiorentina, così come la letteratura artistica francese e inglese. Il suo stile è la quintessenza dell’ideale d’Arcadia, che all’inizio del Settecento impresse la sua azione riformatrice contro gli eccessi del tardo barocco per un ritorno a forme pure, semplici, di ispirazione classica, nella linea maggiore dell’arte italiana che da Raffaello conduce fino a Canova. In particolare la posizione di Luti nella pittura romana a cavallo del secolo lo identifica come trait d’union fra il classicismo barocco di Carlo Maratti e il rococò cristallino di Pompeo Batoni: in una parola, fra Sei e Settecento. La monografia di Rodolfo Maffeis, la prima dedicata al pittore, si compone di un approfondito saggio storico e biografico diviso in due parti (una dedicata all’attività toscana, l’altra alla vita e alle opere nella capitale), una sezione di 42 tavole a colori, un catalogo ragionato di tutti i dipinti, i pastelli e i disegni (110 schede scientifiche e 340 immagini in bianco e nero). Al catalogo completo delle opere segue un regesto dei documenti d’archivio riguardanti il pittore e un’appendice con ulteriori contenuti documentari
Leonardo e Correggio: destini incrociati
No full textIl contributo analizza il rapporto di Correggio con l'arte di Leonardo, in particolare in connessione alla committenza che interessò il pittore emiliano, dimostrando come Correggio si trovò a lavorare in centri in cui forte era il culto leonardesco. Una parte è dedicata alla raffigurazione del Cristo giovane (due dipinti e un disegno del Correggio) in rapporto alle proposte leonardesche. I dipinti vengono analizzati sia in relazione alla cultura devozionale del tempo, sia in rapporto alle vicende personali di Isabella d'Este nel 1510-13 rispetto alla partenza forzata di suo figlio Federico Gonzaga alla corte di Roma
L'artista satirico nell'epos: Giandomenico Tiepolo e il cavallo di Troia
No full textThe Artist Satirist and the Classical Epos: Giandomenico Tiepolo and the Trojan Horse
This study reconsiders a remarkable but overlooked work by Giandomenico Tiepolo–the so-called Building of the Trojan Horse in the collections of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art at Hartford. Starting from a fresh look to the content, the author identifies a slightly different iconography, as well as the presence of an enigmatic self-portrait of the painter seen from the back. The possible precedents in the tradition of the artists' self-portraits in Venice are investigated, and an interpretation is offered in connection with the peculiar satirical themes of Gian Domenico's art
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
