简介

米开朗基罗是他那个时代最耀眼的国际艺术明星之一，但成为米开朗基罗并非易事：他被粉丝追随，被评论家褒贬，还被未经授权的肖像画所描绘。《Still Lives》追溯了米开朗基罗、丢勒和提香等艺术家成为近代早期名人的过程。艺术家自古以来就是传记的主题，但文艺复兴时期的艺术家是第一批其面容有时与他们的艺术一样可辨识的人。玛丽亚·洛展示了肖像画和自画像作为绘画和雕塑中独立体裁的迅速扩展如何促成了这一转变。她探讨了艺术家在这种新图像经济中面临的挑战：作为一个被自身形象所困扰的图像制作者意味着什么？这些变化如何影响艺术家及其工作室的日常现实？艺术家的图像又如何促使他们将自己视为能够超越自身生命的历史人物？书中包含丰富的插图，是对艺术家肖像的发明和一种新型世俗名声的原创探索。

How portraits of artists during the Renaissance helped create the first art stars in modern history. Michelangelo was one of the biggest international art stars of his time, but being Michelangelo was no easy thing: he was stalked by fans, lauded and lambasted by critics, and depicted in unauthorized portraits. Still Lives traces the process by which artists such as Michelangelo, Dürer, and Titian became early modern celebrities. Artists had been subjects of biographies since antiquity, but Renaissance artists were the first whose faces were sometimes as recognizable as their art. Maria Loh shows how this transformation was aided by the rapid expansion of portraiture and self-portraiture as independent genres in painting and sculpture. She examines the challenges confronting artists in this new image economy: What did it mean to be an image maker haunted by one's own image? How did these changes affect the everyday realities of artists and their workshops? And how did images of artists contribute to the way they envisioned themselves as figures in a history that would outlive them? Richly illustrated, Still Lives is an original exploration of the invention of the artist portrait and a new form of secular stardom.
