Of the many treatises written in Italy during the Counter-Reformation, none is more illustrative of the intellectual fermentation of the period than Comanini's work on the purpose of painting, Il Figino overo del fine della Pittura (1591). Although the importance of Il Figino has long been recognized, the text has remained largely inaccessible to many scholars throughout the world. This first complete English translation will make the work available to those readers for the first time. In Il Figino, Comanini addresses all of the most hotly debated aesthetic issues of the time, drawing on an array of classical, medieval and Renaissance sources, including Plato, Aristotle, Horace, Mazzoni, Tasso and Paleotti. The editor and translator provide copious notes which clarify Comanini's aesthetic and theological references, as well as a lucid introduction that places the issues and debates in context. Comanini's impressive erudition makes his treatise an excellent barometer of the state of scholarship in the Counter-Reformation era. This translation is a long-overdue addition to the field of Renaissance studies.

Malgré une unification récente et en dépit de la relative petitesse de son territoire, l’Italie jouit d’un niveau de reconnaissance très fort dans l’imaginaire collectif en Europe et dans le monde. Ses frontières maritimes très nettes qui dessinent une botte au coeur de la Méditerranée, ses origines glorieuses au temps de l’empire romain, les chefs-d’oeuvre de ses artistes, de ses hommes de lettres et de ses musiciens, son art de vivre entre Dolce Vita et intrépidité sont autant de repères qui composent une image riche, mais où abondent aussi les poncifs. En 100 mots – Carnaval, Design, Economie souterraine, Pizza, Renaissance, SPQR, Vespa… – le présent ouvrage reprend ces clichés, pour les documenter, les dépasser aussi. Il explore ainsi les multiples facettes de cette identité italienne si séduisante et nous propose 100 occasions de (re)découvrir l’Italie.

République maritime, Venise la Sérénissime règne sur les eaux. Parce qu'elle domina longtemps la Méditerranée, parce qu'elle est la porte de l'Orient et de ses rêves, parce qu'au détour de ses venelles d'eau se découvrent mille et une beautés d'architecture, de peinture, de musique, parce qu'elle est l'occasion de fêtes de l'esprit, d'amour et d'histoires romanesques ou poétiques, Venise inspire, fascine, bouleverse. Compositeurs, écrivains, peintres, artistes de tous horizons ont choisi d'y séjourner, d'y créer, d'y vivre et parfois d'y mourir. Voici Venise en 100 mots, comme autant de clefs magiques pour connaître ou reconnaître ses beautés, goûter ses saveurs, percer ses secrets et - peut-être - lever une partie du voile sur son incomparable mystère.

Raffaello Borghini's Il Riposo (1584) is the most widely known Florentine document on the subject of the Counter-Reformation content of religious paintings. Despite its reputation as an art-historical text, this is the first English-language translation of Il Riposo to be published. A distillation of the art gossip that was a feature of the Medici Grand Ducal court, Borghini's treatise puts forth simple criteria for judging the quality of a work of art. Published sixteen years after the second edition of Giorgio Vasari's Vite, the text that set the standard for art-historical writing during the period, Il Riposo focuses on important issues that Vasari avoided, ignored, or was oblivious to. Picking up where Vasari left off, Borghini deals with artists who came after Michaelangelo and provides more comprehensive descriptions of artists who Vasari only touched upon such as Tintoretto, Veronese, Barocci, and the artists of Francesco I's Studiolo. This text is also invaluable as a description of the mid-sixteenth century reaction against the style of the 'maniera,' which stressed the representation of self-consciously convoluted figures in complicated works of art.The first art treatise specifically directed toward non-practitioners, Il Riposo gives unique insight into the early stages of art history as a discipline, late Renaissance art and theory, and the Counter-Reformation in Italy.
