Picturing Courtiers and Nobles from Castiglione to Van Dyck: Self Representation by Early Modern Elites: Routledge Research in Art History

Autor John Peacock
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 aug 2020
This interdisciplinary study examines painted portraiture as a defining metaphor of elite self-representation in early modern culture.
Beginning with Castiglione’s Book of the Courtier (1528), the most influential early modern account of the formation of elite identity, the argument traces a path across the ensuing century towards the images of courtiers and nobles by the most persuasive of European portrait painters, Van Dyck, especially those produced in London during the 1630s. It investigates two related kinds of texts: those which, following Castiglione, model the conduct of the ideal courtier or elite social conduct more generally; and those belonging to the established tradition of debates about the condition of nobility –how far it is genetically inherited and how far a function of excelling moral and social behaviour. Van Dyck is seen as contributing to these discussions through the language of pictorial art.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, cultural history, early modern history and Renaissance studies.

“Peacock argues convincingly that Van Dyck developed highly original, sometimes contrasting representations that commented on—and helped shape—the very nature and self-image of nobility.”
