Picture and counter-picture: An Attempt to Involve Context in the interpretation of Theatre Italien iconography
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
The article contains a number of examples of depictions of the French-italian commedia dell'arte fra the 17. century, put into an iconographic and mentality historical context aiming at an interpretation at two levels: On the one hand a reference to the selfrepresentation of the regime and on the other hand a derivation from the carnivalesque imagery which all together expand the understanding of the political satire in a grotesque direction implicitly contained in the pictures.
