Presentation Transcript

  1. The Scarith of Scornello: A Tale of Renaissance Forgery by Ingrid D. Rowland Chapter VIII: The Sublime Art Nataliya Micheva

  2. Master and Apprentice • Curzio’s Work – “sparks of brilliance” • Linkages between Volterran families and invented heroes • Forging archival documents • Extensive basis in archeological data • Following the contemporary standards of historical reading The Model of Annius of Viterbo • Combining “real classical lore and pure invention” • Making up texts, forging sculptures • Forgery based on extensive knowledge of Etruscan culture

  3. Imperfect forgery or a monumental parody? Loopholes: • Direction of writing • Similarities with Scandinavian runes • Watermarks of the state paper factory (found 1700s) Alternative theory – a parody • Curzio as a humorist writer – unpublished comedies • The prophesies – a sincere joke misunderstood • The place of beffain Tuscan humor • A parody of Annius of Viterbo’s work?

  4. Thank you!
