- Title
Vincenzo Danti's Deceits.
- Authors
Cole, Michael; Gamberini, Diletta
- Abstract
The great sculptor Vincenzo Danti wrote one of the longest poems to have survived from a Renaissance artist, but the text's close thematic and conceptual connections to its author's art have gone entirely unnoticed. What Danti's poem and sculpture share, this essay argues, is a concern with mystified identity. Danti's poetic sensibility stands at odds with the biographical frameworks that typically guide the interpretation of Renaissance art and literature. At the same time, his example shows how much there is to be gained from an investigation of how artists learned to be writers, and of what came of those efforts.
