Samothracian Reflections: Aspects of the Revival of the Antique (Princeton Legacy Library) - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
These three essays were inspired by the Samothracian discoveries. Cyriacus of Ancona's visit to the island and his assessment of what he saw are the subject of the opening essay. This is followed by the first detailed and comprehensive analysis of Mantegna’s Parnassus, a painting which Mrs. Lehmann suggests reflects in its theme and imagery the use of a limited number of ancient sculptures and texts. The final essay is a discussion of the postclassical transformation of the iconographic type of the ancient ship-fountain.
Originally published in 1973.

Discovery of blocks of a frieze sketched by Cyriacus of Ancona in 1444 and of the fact that the Victory of Samothrace formed part of a monumental fountain stimulated these studies on the revival of the antique. Cyriacus' visit to the island and his characteristic intellectual procedure are re~examined in the introductory essay. It is followed by investigation of the monumental and literary sources underlying Mantegna's Parnassus~the first detailed and comprehensive analysis of this famous painting. The author suggests that its unique theme and imagery reflect the use of a limited number of ancient sculptures and texts easily available to the artist and his patrons, Isabella d'Este and Gian Francesco Gonzaga, and that, cast in heraldic and astrological terms intelligible to contemporaries, its content alludes to their marriage and subsequent patronage of the arts, especially music, at the Court of Mantua. The last essay reveals the transformation of the iconographic type of the ancient ship~fountain from the simple commemoration of naval victory, exemplified by the Victory of Samothrace, first to the symbolic images of the divinely~directed Ship of the Roman State, later to the Ship of the Church. The pagan Navicella on the Caelian, revived as a symbol of the Roman Church, was succeeded, in turn, by playful ship~fountains at Frascati and Tivoli and the richly allusive Barcaccia and Galera of Rome until, in the seventeenth century, the type became an allegorical paraphrase of the age of exploration.
