(Sortes Praenestinae. Hypnerotomachia from text to image 2)
The "Hypnerotomachia Poliphili", the most beautiful illustrated book of the Renaissance printed by Aldus Manutius in Venice in 1499, was universally appreciated because it contains 170 amazing woodcuts that were imitated by various artists from the Renaissance and until our times. The first part of the course presents an analytical and anthological discussion about the critical success of the "Hypnerotomachia" from Tiziano to Dalì while the second part analyses the complex relationship between text and images which lead to new iconographic creations in which humanistic ideas and antique converge making this work the most representative book of the Italian Renaissance.
