On the night of September 9, 1624, a thirty-three-year-old painter named Luca Riva lay feverish and deathly ill in his bed in a candlelit room in the Ospedale Maggiore in Milan. Having been sick since July, in recent days he had begun to suffer from “an acute malign fever” and “unusual and dangerous fits.” Fearing that these were his final hours, a judge, a notary, protonotaries, and variouswitnesses had gathered in his room to record his last will and testament. Riva’s case was far from typical, for he had been born deaf and was also illiterate, which meant he was legally unable to write his own will and unable to communicate

TheUniversity of North Carolina at Greensboro has struggled with what tomake of—and out of—JosephH. Cox’s untitled sculptural mural from 1960 (fig. 1). At various moments over the past six decades, representatives of the university have removed key elements, permitted lax maintenance, and disassembled the work entirely. As part of the 2018 demolition of the building that supported the mural and the subsequent construction of a new building on the same site, the university revealed an institutional understanding of the mural to be less a work of public art than a collection of useful public materials.

In December 1550, Leone Leoni wrote a letter to Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle, imperial minister of Emperor Charles V, in which Leoni describes a model for a commission of a large-scale bronze statue of the emperor, seeking approval for his concept of a second figure of Fury, restrained and cowering at the base (fig. 1). Emphasizing its compositional complexity and emotional impact, Leoni expresses sadness that Granvelle cannot see the model—for if he could, Leoni says, Granvelle would love him more than he does already and would see him as other

Printed in 1531 at Augsburg, Andrea Alciato’s Emblematum Libermarks the emergence of the early modern emblem. The book appears to have been published without the author’s permission at the behest of Konrad Peutinger, his friend and colleague to whom the collection of emblems is dedicated. In the previous decade, Alciato circulated his emblems, almost certainly unillustrated, among his friends in manuscript form. Alciato deemed the unsophisticated images by Augsburg artist Jörg Breu

Giovanni Battista Caracciolo (1578–1635), also known as Battistello, was one of the first Neapolitan artists to speak the language of Caravaggio’s brush. Jean-Pierre Cuzin descibed Caracciolo as being “aman of Naples who truly meditated on the dramatic power and austerity of the canvases left in the city by Caravaggio.” Caracciolo’s oeuvre proves that he was a talented early adopter of Caravaggism, and he received some prestigious commissions across his career, throughout which he remained Caravaggesque, except for certain Bolognese intrusions in his late canvases and in his frescoes.

It was found in Spain in 2019, offered at auction as Bodegón con cesto de melocotones, peras, manzanas, granada y aves muertas and attributed to the “Neapolitan school.” The restoration, conducted in Genoa, showed that the canvas had a few scattered retouches, some dating to the eighteenth century and others, more recent, to the end of the nineteenth century.
