Botticelli and Horne: New Research for Scholars
Category: sandro botticelli
This volume features the texts of six papers presented by internationally acclaimed scholars during a three-day conference in Florence, held in October 2008. The event commemorated the centenary of the publication of Horne's esteemed monograph on Botticelli. Among these contributions, Caroline Elam delivered the keynote lecture at Villa I Tatti, illuminating Horne's exceptional personality and illustrious career.
In another significant paper, Jonathan Nelson raises a critical question regarding the concept of authorship, particularly in relation to certain works where Botticelli's involvement was only partial. His exploration prompts readers to reconsider the traditional notions of creativity and collaboration in the artistic process.
Adding to these discussions, Antonella Francini unveils a recently discovered poem by Herbert Horne that pertains to a Botticelli portrait located in London. This finding enriches the conversation surrounding the artist's legacy and highlights Horne's connection to Botticelli.
Collectively, these essays provide a multifaceted examination of the celebrated early Renaissance painter, enhancing our appreciation and comprehension of his work. The papers not only commemorate Horne's contributions to the study of Botticelli but also provoke thought on broader themes related to authorship, artistic influence, and the enduring significance of Renaissance art.
