1. Albrecht Dürer's Peasant Engravings: A Different Laocoön, or the Birth of Aesthetic Subversion in the Spirit of the Reformation.

Abstract

This article addresses the genesis and reception of three engravings representing peasants made by Albrecht Dürer between the years 1514 and 1519. These images have been interpreted as social commentary or low-brow farce; I argue their importance is art theoretical. In my view, they are the result of Dürer's 1505-6 visit to Venice, where Italian artists derided his ability to work in a classical idiom. In response, I argue, Dürer developed a method of imitation that I call "inverse citation," which veils a famous antique model in the guise of a boorish peasant. Following Luther's rebellion against the Church, northern artists took up this technique with more polemical aims. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

2. Dutch and Flemish Printmakers in Rome 1565-1600.

Abstract

The article focuses on the role and status of Dutch and Flemish printmakers in Rome between 1565 and 1600. The analysis on their roles are based on the information gathered including the graphic arts of Netherlandish scholars such as Domenicus Lampsonius and Philippe van Winghe and the critical writings of Karel van Mander. The letter of Domenicus Lampsonius to Giulio Clovio is often interpreted as the most emphatic praise of the potentialities of reproductive engraving and praise for the works of Cornelis Cort, an accomplished plate-cutter. His works played a major role in increasing and consolidating the reputation in the Netherlandish school of engraving. Works of the engravers tend to develop because of various explorations that lead them to discover new techniques and applications.
