Titian's portraits through Aretino's lens by Luba Freedman ( Book )
2 editions published in 1995 in English and held by 376 libraries worldwide
Among sixteenth-century Renaissance painters, Titian made his reputation, and much of his living, by portraiture. Titian's portraits were promoted by his friend, Pietro Aretino, an eminent poet and critic, who addressed his letters and sonnets to the same personages Titian portrayed. In many of these letters (which often included sonnets), Aretino described both an individual patron and Titian's portrait of that patron, thus stimulating the reciprocal relation between a verbal and pictorial portrait. By investigating this unprecedented historical phenomenon, Luba Freedman elucidates the meaning conveyed by the portrait as an artistic form in Renaissance Italy.

Cortigiana by Pietro Aretino ( Book )
79 editions published between 1534 and 2010 in 7 languages and held by 300 libraries worldwide
Cette comédie, rédigée à Rome en 1525 et imprimée à Venise en 1534, unit plus ou moins maladroitement deux intrigues au moins : les mésaventures d'un apprenti-courtisan assez stupide et celles d'un courtisan qui se meurt d'amour. Elle crée un effet de vitalité intense mais vaine, et permet surtout à L'Arétin de lancer des coups et allusions à divers personnages contemporains.
