Abstract
Piero della Francesca expanded the evolution of continuous narrative in the fifteenth century in his cycle of the True Cross at Arezzo by adding what is called here "narrative encapsulation." This technique involves the layering of several versions of the same story within a unified composition to enrich the fabric of meaning. Three examples from his cycle are elucidated here, to show how, in their expanded form, they enhance the overall significance of the narrative.
期刊介绍:
Artibus et Historiae is a journal dedicated to the visual arts, published by IRSA Publishing House. The lavishly illustrated articles cover a broad range of subjects, including photography and film, as well as traditional topics of scholarly art research. Artibus et Historiae particularly encourages interdisciplinary studies - art history in conjunction with other humanistic fields, such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, or literature - and unconventional approaches. Thus it is hoped that the current trends in art history will be well represented in our issues. Artibus et Historiae appears twice a year, in hardback. The articles are in one of four languages: English, Italian, German, or French, at the author"s discretion.
