Indecent Bodies in Early Modern Visual Culture
The life-like depiction of the body became a central interest and defining characteristic of the European Early Modern period that coincided with the establishment of which images of the body were to be considered 'decent' and representable, and which disapproved, censored, or prohibited. Simultaneously, artists and the public became increasingly interested in the depiction of specific body parts or excretions. This book explores the concept of indecency and its relation to the human body across drawings, prints, paintings, sculptures, and texts. The ten essays investigate questions raised by such objects about practices and social norms regarding the body, and they look at the particular function of those artworks within this discourse. The heterogeneous media, genres, and historical contexts north and south of the Alps studied by the authors demonstrate how the alleged indecency clashed with artistic intentions and challenges traditional paradigms of the historiography of Early Modern visual culture.

Jacopo Bellini's Book of Drawings in the Louvre
The RF 1475–1556 Louvre Album is universally regarded as a corpus of drawings that was executed by the Venetian painter Jacopo Bellini. The album’s trajectory prior to coming into the possession of the Bellini family is elucidated in the present book. Based on Norberto Gramaccini’s interpretation, it was the Paduan painter Francesco Squarcione who was the mastermind and financier behind the drawings. The preparatory work had actually been delegated to his most gifted pupils, among them Andrea Mantegna, Jacopo Bellini ́s future son-in-law. The drawing’s topics —anatomy, perspective, archeology, mythology, contemporary chronicles, and zoology —were part of the teaching program of an art academy established by Squarcione in the 1440s, famous in its day, which provided crucial impulses for the training of artists in the modern era.
Die Notizie de’ Professori del disegno von Filippo Baldinucci
Filippo Baldinucci, Maler und versierter Kunstkenner, setzte sich intensiv mit der Frage historiografischen Schreibens auseinander. Mit seiner monumentalen Biografiensammlung Notizie de' Professori del disegno (1681–1728) distanzierte er sich von der Vitenliteratur und verfasste auf quellenkritischer und naturwissenschaftlicher Grundlage eine wissenschaftlich fundierte, europäische Geschichte der Kunst nach enzyklopädischen Maßstäben. Bei einem close-reading der Notizie zeigt sich, dass Baldinucci keine Fortsetzung der Vite intendierte: Er findet harsche Worte für Vasari und obwohl er dessen Vorstellung vom Primat der Künste teilt, lässt er Vasaris teleologisches, auf normativen Setzungen beruhendes Modell einer Fortschrittsgeschichte hinter sich.
