The artist, who worked mainly for Duke Alfonso I d’Este of Ferrara, is celebrated for his mythological paintings that spoke to the courtly imagination. Fiorenza focuses on Dosso’s highly allusive and eloquent portrayal of ancient and vernacular subjects found in such well-known works as \u003ci\u003eJupiter Painting Butterflies, Myth of Pan, Enchantress\u003c\/i\u003e, and his frescoes of Aesop’s fables. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDosso’s art challenges conventional iconographic analysis, and Fiorenza considers how the poetics governing his imagery recasts literary sources, including Ludovico Ariosto’s \u003ci\u003eOrlando Furioso\u003c\/i\u003e, by magnifying their most pictorial components. Perhaps more compellingly than any of his contemporaries, Dosso’s paintings transformed courtly ideals and princely identity into a new sensual spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40928663339105,"sku":"9780271032047","price":100.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_15177876_jpg.jpg?v=1712968010","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780271032047-dosso-dossi","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
