"This survey traces the development of portrait painting in Northern and Southern Europe during the Renaissance, when the genre first flourished. Both regions developed their own distinct styles and techniques, but each was influenced by the other. Focusing on the relationship between artists of the north and south, renowned specialists analyse the notion of likeness - at that time based not only on accurate reference to posterity, but incorporating all aspects of human life, including propaganda, power, courtship, love, family, ambition and hierarchy. Essays and individual catalogue entries present new research on works by some of the greatest portraitists of the period, including Giovanni Bellini, Sandro Botticelli, Lucas Cranach, Albrecht Durer, Jan van Eyck, Hans Holbein and Titan, all magnificently illustrated."--Jacket.

Many small Renaissance portraits were richly adorned with covers or backs bearing allegorical figures, mythological scenes, or emblems that celebrated the sitter and invited the viewer to decipher their meaning. Hidden Faces includes seventy objects, ranging in format from covered paintings to miniature boxes, that illuminate the symbiotic relationship between the portrait and its pair. Texts by thirteen distinguished scholars vividly illustrate that the other “faces” of these portraits represent some of the most innovative images of the Renaissance, created by masters such as Hans Memling and Titian. Uniting works that have in some cases been separated for centuries, this fascinating volume shows how the multifaceted format unveiled the sitter’s identity, both by physically revealing the portrait and reading the significance behind its cover.

She also shows that in Renaissance comedy, playwrights exploited the many bawdy meanings of fucus, or cosmetic paint, to dramatize that "theres knauery in dawbing.".

The portrait is defined by the postulate of similarity; the interpretation of a likeness, however, does not stop with the identification of depicted persons. In this book, acclaimed authors approach the portrait genre from visual studies and linguistic perspectives, which led them on an impressive journey through time from the Middle Ages to the present and into the future. The portrait is explored as a complex result of the triad of model, artist, and recipient. From this perspective, the wordlessness of visual depictions proves erroneous, as portraits develop their own forms of expression and codes, which aim at dialog with the viewer. The face is thus not understood as a given feature of nature, but as a symbol or concept; looking at, interpreting, and reading faces is intrinsically connected with the search for human identity. This collection of essays is edited by Mona K�rte, Ruben Rebmann, Judith Elisabeth Weiss, and Stefan Weppelmann on behalf of Gem�ldegalerie – Berlin State Museums and the Center for Literary and Cultural Research Berlin.

Leonardo da Vinci, dé belichaming van het Renaissance-ideaal van de homo universalis, was in zijn eigen tijd het meest beroemd om zijn ongekende gave menselijke emoties en karakters overtuigend uit te beelden. 0'Het laatste avondmaal' in Milaan is daar het sprekende voorbeeld van. Dit kunstwerk kan uiteraard niet reizen, maar zal op bijzondere wijze (en op ware grootte) tóch in de tentoonstelling aanwezig zijn.0De expressiviteit van het menselijk gelaat, van misvormd en lelijk tot mooi en geïdealiseerd, had Leonardo?s grote belangstelling. En dan speciaal de relatie tussen uiterlijk en innerlijk. Hij had duidelijk affiniteit met de toentertijd populaire ?wetenschap? van de fysionomie, waarin gesteld werd dat aan het uiterlijk van de mens diens persoonlijkheid is af te lezen. Het is mede daarom dat hij ? als eerste in zijn tijd ? mensen op straat met een ongewoon of mismaakt gezicht bestudeerde en vervolgens tekende.0Een van de topstukken in de expositie (tevens gebruikt voor het omslag van het boek) is de 'Studie van het gezicht van een jonge vrouw', ook wel de Mona Lisa onder de tekeningen genoemd. Een prachtig voorbeeld van hoe Leonardo menselijke emoties wist vast te leggen in zijn werken. Het is de eerste keer dat dit werk in Nederland te zien is.00Exhibition: Teylers Museum, Haarlem, The Netherlands (05.10.2018 - 06.01.2019).

In the late 1960s, the collapse of the classic Hollywood studio system led in part, and for less than a decade, to a production trend heavily influenced by the international art cinema. Reflecting a new self-consciousness in the US about the national film patrimony, this period is known as the Hollywood Renaissance. However, critical study of the period is generally associated with its so-called principal auteurs, slighting a number of established and emerging directors who were responsible for many of the era's most innovative and artistically successful releases.With contributions from leading film scholars, this book provides a revisionist account of this creative resurgence by discussing and memorializing twenty-four directors of note who have not yet been given a proper place in the larger history of the period. Including filmmakers such as Hal Ashby, John Frankenheimer, Mike Nichols, and Joan Micklin Silver, this more expansive approach to the auteurism of the late 1960s and 1970s seems not only appropriate but pressing - a necessary element of the re-evaluation of 'Hollywood' with which cinema studies has been preoccupied under the challenges posed by the emergence and flourishing of new media.
