1492 1556 Aretino Inscription Oval Pietro
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures the sharp wit and intellectual brilliance of Pietro Aretino (1492-1556), the renowned Italian writer and satirist. The image, produced in the late 19th or early 20th century, is an ode to Aretino's enduring influence on European literature and culture. Born in Arezzo, Italy, Aretino rose to prominence in the literary world with his biting satire and provocative inscriptions. He was a contemporary of Michelangelo and Titian, and his works were known to have influenced the great artists of the time. In this print, Aretino is depicted with a serious expression, wearing a fur-lined hat and a long, flowing beard. The inscription below reads "Pietro Aretino, Italian, 1492-1556," serving as a reminder of his Italian heritage and the span of his life. Despite his Italian birth, this print bears the influence of French art, as evidenced by the ornate border and the use of the term "Daumont" in the title. However, it is important to note that Daumont refers to the publisher of this print, not the company. Aretino's influence extended beyond the literary world, and his works were known to have caused controversy and scandal. His satirical writings were often scathing and biting, and he did not shy away from criticizing the powerful and the prominent. This print serves as a testament to his enduring impact on European literature and culture, and a reminder of the power of the written word to provoke, inspire, and entertain.
