本书聚焦于带盖肖像画的创意与象征意义，深入探索了意大利与北欧文艺复兴艺术中一个引人入胜却鲜为人知的面向。

 

许多小型文艺复兴肖像画都装饰有精美的封面或背板，上面绘有寓意人物、神话场景或徽章，旨在颂扬画中人物，并邀请观者去解读其深层含义。《隐藏的面孔》一书收录了七十件作品，形式从带盖绘画到微型盒不等，这些作品生动展现了肖像画与其配对物之间的共生关系。来自十三位杰出学者的文字生动阐述，这些肖像画的另一“面孔”代表着文艺复兴时期最具创新性的图像之一，它们由汉斯·梅姆林、提香等大师创作而成。本书将那些有时已分离数百年的作品重新汇聚，以引人入胜的方式展示了这种多面性形式如何通过物理上展示肖像画以及解读其封面背后的意义来揭示画中人物的身份。

 

Highlighting the creativity and symbolism of covered portraits, this volume explores an intriguing but largely unknown aspect of Italian and Northern European Renaissance art

 

Many small Renaissance portraits were richly adorned with covers or backs bearing allegorical figures, mythological scenes, or emblems that celebrated the sitter and invited the viewer to decipher their meaning. Hidden Faces includes seventy objects, ranging in format from covered paintings to miniature boxes, that illuminate the symbiotic relationship between the portrait and its pair. Texts by thirteen distinguished scholars vividly illustrate that the other “faces” of these portraits represent some of the most innovative images of the Renaissance, created by masters such as Hans Memling and Titian. Uniting works that have in some cases been separated for centuries, this fascinating volume shows how the multifaceted format unveiled the sitter’s identity, both by physically revealing the portrait and reading the significance behind its cover.
