Abstract

Abstract:

This essay explores how the visual culture of the portrait in the early Tudor period, epitomized by Hans Holbein's work, informed and intensified the self-examination, pictorialism, and textual play of Sir Thomas Wyatt's "epistolary satire" to John Pointz, a fellow courtier. Specifically, I argue that Wyatt's ambivalent self-description in this overtly self-righteous poem reimagines the memento mori—a visual reminder of vulnerability and death, often incorporated in portraiture—to deliberately undermine his Stoic self-assertion and to rebuke the reader's credulity.

斗篷与木屐都铎王朝肖像画与托马斯-怀亚特爵士的 "我的约翰-波因茨"
摘要:这篇文章探讨了都铎王朝早期以汉斯-霍尔拜因的作品为代表的肖像画视觉文化如何影响并强化了托马斯-怀亚特爵士写给朝臣约翰-波因茨的 "书信体讽刺诗 "中的自我审视、图像主义和文字游戏。具体而言,我认为怀亚特在这首明显自以为是的诗歌中矛盾的自我描述重新想象了 "死亡纪念物"(memento mori)--一种对脆弱和死亡的视觉提醒,经常被融入肖像画中,从而故意破坏他的斯多葛派自我主张,并斥责读者的轻信。

期刊介绍: Founded in 1903, Studies in Philology addresses scholars in a wide range of disciplines, though traditionally its strength has been English Medieval and Renaissance studies.
