Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 127-151. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With author's dedication to W. Haase. - A very good and clean copy. - From the text: The Dosso Dossi Exhibition held in Ferrara, New York, and Los Angeles in 1998-1999 produced a new awareness of the works of the Dossi brothers of Ferrara, Dosso (1486-1534) and Battista (ca. 1492-ca.l548), marking the five-hundredth anniversary of the dispersal of the Este familys art collections after the death of Alfonso II in1598. Reproductions of the paintings, with commentaries, bibliographies, x-radiographs, and accounts of their conservation and interpretation are presented in the splendid volume by Peter Humfrey, Mauro Lucco, et al., Dosso Dossi: Court Painter in Renaissance Ferrara. Critic Robert Hughes commented as follows for Time Magazine, The hothouse atmosphere of the Este court shows in Dosso's major works: they tend to be playful, elaborately poetic and almost impossible to connect to the usual literary sources, as though they were suggested by highly sophisticated people dreaming up ever more obscure secular concetti. In a word, the paintings are totally mannerist; even today scholars dont agree on what theyre actually about. Their oddity is deepened by the fact that Dosso made them up as he went along, adding figures and painting them out as the whim took him, rather than sticking to a preset program of images.
