Conversations about Italian Renaissance Art
Conversation was a social fact and a cultural paradigm in early modern Italy. Numerous conversations were recorded in historical texts, but many others were enhanced, invented and recorded by the most prominent authors of the period, including Leon Battista Alberti, Leonardo Bruni and Baldassare Castiglione. Taking a cue from studies in early modern culture and literature, Christian Kleinbub, professor in the Department of History of Art, considers how conversation informed the visual arts. He asks to what extent talking about paintings — not to mention figures shown talking in paintings — mattered to artists and their audiences in the period.
