I track Part 2’s descent into this world through rhetorical insufficiencies that generate flawed ekphrases, which lack the requisite enargeia (vivid description) to be seen in the mind’s eye. Particular attention is paid to Zenocrate’s death scene as well as Tamburlaine’s preservation of her body in a gold-lined coffin. I argue that the coffin is a symbol of Tamburlaine’s rhetorical inadequacy and an aesthetic time capsule in which Marlowe suspends ekphrasis. This suspension complicates the ways in which audiences ‘see’, and is the site of a contest between ‘poetic’ (ekphrastic) and ‘dramatic’ (spectacular) ways of seeing. Through the ekphrastic interaction between the Tamburlaine plays, Marlowe challenges dramatists to revive the operations of ekphrasis in new ways. I examine William Shakespeare’s response to this challenge in The Winter’s Tale (1611; published 1623), arguing that he reconciles the poetic and dramatic ways of seeing to create a stage-picture of the revival of ekphrasis in the coming to life of Hermione’s statue.","PeriodicalId":44046,"journal":{"name":"WORD & IMAGE","volume":"135 44","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138085926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vellum leaf on which Fra Angelico drew features text on its verso that has until now been misunderstood as a fragment of a fifteenth-century breviary, leading it to be positioned simply as an example of his work as an illuminator. This article demonstrates that despite this misunderstanding, there is indeed an important relationship between the text and image on this sheet. The text is a fragment of a twelfth-century choir psalter and is significant as perhaps the oldest surviving evidence of the liturgy of the Papal Curia. Through a combination of palaeographical, liturgical, and art-historical analysis, I identify the leaf as a central Italian fragment dating to c.1150–80, which Fra Angelico encountered as a result of the presence of the Papal Curia in Florence during the papacy of Eugene IV, from 1434 to 1436 and again from 1439 to 1443. Stylistic and iconographic analysis demonstrates that Fra Angelico deliberately evoked the antique mode of the prefatory miniature in response to the age of the leaf, making the drawing an early example of the Renaissance desire to emulate classical models, received through a Carolingian filter. The close relationship between the David drawing and Fra Angelico’s work for Cosimo de’ Medici’s cell in San Marco—after the latter’s return to Florence from exile in 1434, supported by Eugene IV—is identified for the first time. The date of the drawing is refined from c.1430 to c.1435, the year Fra Angelico and his community moved from Fiesole to San Marco in Florence.","PeriodicalId":44046,"journal":{"name":"WORD & IMAGE","volume":"25 1","pages":"384 - 401"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139324717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
