A 2021 Sue Grafton Memorial Award Nominee In the highly anticipated follow-up to Flowers Over the Inferno, Superintendent Teresa Battaglia, expert criminal profiler with four decades of experience on the Italian police force, returns for a chilling cold case. A decades-old murder investigation has landed on Superintendent Teresa Battaglia's desk. DNA analysis has revealed that a painting from the final days of World War II contains matter from a human heart. Teresa is able to trace the evidence to Val Resia, one of Italy’s most isolated, untouched regions. When Teresa’s investigation hits too close to the truth, a fresh human heart is hung at the valley’s entrance, a warning not to cross its threshold. As she hunts a ruthless killer, Teresa must face down her own rapidly deteriorating physical and cognitive abilities, as well as someone she hoped never to see again—a man who has just become her supervisor.

In his late 15th century chronicle (ca 1477-1484), Michael Fabricius Ferrarinus (died between 1488-1493), prior of the Carmelite cloister in Reggio Emilia, introduced the rumour that an ancient fountain had been found super ripam Danuvii (on the banks of the Danube) with the sculpted figure of a sleeping nymph. According to Ferrarinus, the fountain bore a peculiar epigram: HVIVS NYMPHA LOCI, SACRI CVSTODIA FONTIS, DORMIO, DVM BLANDAE SENTIO MVRMVR AQVAE. PARCE MEVM, QVISQVIS TANGIS CAVA MARMORA, SOMNVM RVMPERE. SIVE BIBAS SIVE LAVERE TACE. Many scholars have discussed the impact of the rumour as creating a prototype for Renaissance sculptures of the sleeping nymph in Rome and for the development of the well-known genre of the sleeping Venus in painting. Building upon the previous studies, this essay contextualizes the phenomenon of the sleeping nymph and its textual and artistic Nachleben from the point of view of the locus amoenus as silence. This study combines iconological, aesthetical-philosophical and anthropological approaches, and contributes to a better understanding of sleep, voyeurism, water and silence within the context of the nymph's particular genius loci.

The figures of the satyr and the nymph have been the focus of their independent studies by various scholars. This existing scholarship has explored their individual places within broader mythologies, literature and art, and typically briefly touches on how the two function together as an ensemble within these cultural spheres. However, while Lynn Frier Kaufmann and Jennifer Larson have endeavoured to articulate both of these figures independently, wider implications regarding the satyr and the nymph as a pairing - specifically within art - have not been thoroughly investigated. In this thesis, I have attempted to examine the origin, revival, and eventual spread of what I describe as the "sleeping nymph and leering satyr' coupling. This pictorial type, in which a satyr is depicted voyeuristically spying on a sleeping nymph figure, seems to serves a specific function in the mind of the viewer - it is meant to suggest in the mind of its audience the theme of sexual assault. I believe that the circumstances surrounding the creation of this pictorial pairing means that connotations of sexual assault are heavily embedded into it, therefore imbuing all images that feature this pairing with the idea of sexual assault as we understand it today. This thesis will feature formal visual analysis of this iconographic type within the broader social context. Separate sections explore three different societies in which the "sleeping nymph and leering satyr' coupling proliferated: ancient Greece, sixteenth-century Italy, and the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic. Secondary historical resources will be analysed in order to contextualise the way in which each of these societies viewed rape and sexual assault. This enables an understanding of why this subject matter was deemed acceptable - and at times, desirable - in the art of each period. This merging of formal visual analysis and social history research indicates a more involved process in the dissection of iconographies, allowing for new insight into old subject matter.

THE NYMPH AND THE SHEPHERD’S SONG: A Fascinating Love Story in Poesy Once there was a song which was sung by a passionate lover. It echoed through the valleys, grooves, hills, fields, woods, and steepy mountains. When the sleeping nymph heard it, she woke up from her deep sleep... and that was more than four centuries ago... but they’re still alive! In the"Year of the Sheep," the shepherd sings anew, the angry nymph retorts and the battle for love continues! “I am a hunter, and I am a witness...”

'The Sleeping Nymph': a work of art of magnetic beauty, painted by a young partisan fighter during the last days of the Second World War. A painting carrying a shocking secret hidden in the red pigment on the canvas, made with the blood of a human heart. But whose heart? There is no body, no confession. Only that faint trace of blood. And that's what leads commissioner Teresa Battaglia - herself hiding an unspeakable truth - to the Resia Valley, in the north eastern part of Italy: a perfect genetic enclave protected for centuries from the outside world. The valley and the portrait are the only clues for a murder that occurred more than 70 years before. A red thread leading to the shadow of someone hell-bent on protecting a sacred secret.

Throughout the early modern period, the nymph remained a powerful figure that inspired and informed the cultural imagination in many different ways. Far from being merely a symbol of the classical legacy, the nymph was invested with a surprisingly broad range of meanings. Working on the basis of these assumptions, and thus challenging Aby Warburg’s famous reflections on the nympha that both portrayed her as cultural archetype and reduced her to a marginal figure, the contributions in this volume seek to uncover the multifarious roles played by nymphs in literature, drama, music, the visual arts, garden architecture, and indeed intellectual culture tout court, and thereby explore the true significance of this well-known figure for the early modern age.
