Title: Scipione l'Africano : un eroe tra Rinascimento e barocco : atti del convegno di studi, Roma, Academia Belgica, 24-25 maggio 2012
Description: Jaca Book, 2014 Paperback, 348 pages, ITA, 240 x 170 x 30 mm, very good condition / ottime condizioni, illustrations / photos in b/w, *** with signature of Walter Geerts***. ISBN 9788816412583. ¶ The theme of this volume comes from the group of six tapestries preserved in the Belgica Academy in Rome, a partial re-edition of the series of 22 pieces depicting the exploits and triumph of Publio Cornelio Scipione, known as the African, the winner of Hannibal. Woven in Brussels on models by Giulio Romano, assisted by Gianfrancesco Penni, they were purchased by Francesco I and burned during the French Revolution to recover the gold and silver threads. The six pieces of the Belgica Academy, made in Brussels in the mid-sixteenth century, constitute one of the oldest re-editions, which belonged to Ippolito d'Este. The Renaissance and Baroque tapestry is an artifact that asks many questions: who gave the commission for the specific theme, Scipio the African? Who "invented" the scene program? What are the sources, ancient and modern, painted and literary, that inspired the program? For what reason, with what intentions, for which "audience" was the theme chosen? How was the "myth" that is being built around Scipio born? And what happens in the following centuries? The book reflects this multiplicity and various disciplines join hands: history of art, ancient and modern history, philology, history of literature and theater. And of cinema, since it ends with the refined Scipione by Luigi Magni, a director who died in 2013.
