Abstract
In 1978 Ulrich Middeldorf proposed that the Portrait of a Man Holding a Medal attributed to Botticelli (Florence, Uffizi), depicts the illegitimate son of Giovanni di Cosimo de' Medici, whom he identified as the sculptor Bertoldo. This article tests the plausibility of Middeldorf's idea within a documentary and historical framework, while using the visual evidence of the portrait itself. Furthermore, it is suggested that the sitter of the portrait may be found within the group portrait of the Medici family painted by Benozzo Gozzoli in the Cappella dei Magi in Palazzo Medici, using a new system for determining the identities of the individuals represented in the Procession of the Magus Caspar.
1978年,乌尔里希·米德尔多夫(Ulrich Middeldorf)提出,波提切利(佛罗伦萨,乌菲齐美术馆)创作的《拿着奖章的人的肖像》描绘的是乔瓦尼·迪·科西莫·德·美第奇的私生子,他认为他就是雕塑家贝托尔多。这篇文章在纪录片和历史的框架内测试了米德尔多夫的想法的合理性,同时使用了肖像本身的视觉证据。此外,还有人认为,这幅肖像画的主人公可能是在贝诺佐·戈佐利(Benozzo Gozzoli)在美第奇宫(Palazzo Medici)的Cappella dei Magi大厅(Cappella dei Magi)中所画的美第奇家族的集体肖像中找到的,他使用了一种新的系统来确定《魔法师卡斯帕游行》(Procession of the Magus Caspar)中所代表的个人身份。
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.
