The figure of the courtesan features in many literary and artistic productions of the Italian Cinquecento. The term ‘musical courtesan’ has been widely used to describe several portraits produced in the first half of the 16th century representing beautiful young women (belle) in different attires playing the lute. This article problematizes the notion of the ‘musical courtesan’ and argues instead that these depictions of belle should be understood in terms of the varied interpretations that might be reached by 16th-century viewers. Such portraits could convey higher ideals such as the institution of marriage of the contemplation of beauty. Case-studies are offered of portraits by Andrea Solario (1460–1524), Bartolomeo Veneto (1502–55), Parrasio Micheli (c.1516–78) and Palma Vecchio (c.1480–1528) that show beautiful, young female lutenists in different attires.

Late in his career, Titian (and his workshop) treated the Venus with musician theme in a series of five similar paintings of unconfirmed patronage. All show the goddess in the same reclined pose, but the musician at her feet transmutes over the course of the series from organist to lutenist, and subtly changes position in the frame. Recently, the paintings and their thematic origins have elicited much debate among art historians McIver, Goffen, Falomir and others. But any mention of the painting’s musical instruments remains confined to discussion of the works’ composition, perspective, or implicit Neoplatonic or Petrarchan sensory discourse. In particular, conversation regarding Titian’s viol only highlights its crude form, as ‘proof’ of the series’ completion, after Titian’s death, by a less-skilled hand. Despite its generally noble status throughout its lifespan, the viol became a widely sexualized object in Renaissance Italian literature; the first viol-centric sexual allusion comes from Straparola’s Le piacevoli notti, ii (Venice, 1553), which closely coincides in time and place with the viol’s appearance on Titian’s canvas. In particular, considering the wealth of viol-sexualizing English poetry and drama in the following century, connections between Titian’s Venus and Le piacevoli notti, with its ultimate vogue in English Transalpina culture, warrant recognition and investigation.

Christmas, as the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, is a central and joyful feast of Christian worship. In medieval and early modern Europe, this translated into a rich musical tradition, of which Christmas songs were a significant part. Song collections from the Devotio moderna, a spiritual movement that spread in the Low Countries and Germany during the 15th and 16th centuries, are an important witness to this Christmas tradition. However, because of their wide dissemination and their simple musical style, these songs have presented an historiographical challenge: it has proved impossible to detail in full the ubiquitous circulation of the well-known songs adopted within the Devotio moderna, as well as to subject their music and texts to close analysis of the kind usually undertaken for more ‘complex’ polyphony. In this context, the Benedicamus Domino offers a new and productive perspective: not only was the Benedicamus Domino singled out for special permission to be sung in polyphony at Christmas, but many Christmas songs are in fact Benedicamus tropes. I trace the uses and functional implications of the Benedicamus Domino within a single and very widely transmitted song, Puer nobis nascitur. Based on an analysis of its polyphonic versions in Latin and of its transmissions with a mix of Latin and vernacular texts, I argue that the Benedicamus was one element deliberately used in Christmas songs to guide spiritual exercises and meditation, inspiring and expressing joy during the Christmas season.
圣诞节，作为庆祝耶稣基督诞生的节日，是基督教崇拜的中心和欢乐的节日。在中世纪和现代早期的欧洲，这转化为丰富的音乐传统，圣诞歌曲是其中的重要组成部分。15世纪和16世纪在低地国家和德国传播的一场精神运动“现代奉献”的歌曲收藏是这一圣诞节传统的重要见证。然而，由于它们的广泛传播和简单的音乐风格，这些歌曲提出了一个历史挑战：事实证明，不可能全面详细描述现代音乐中普遍流传的著名歌曲，也不可能对它们的音乐和文本进行更“复杂”的复调的密切分析。在这种背景下，Benedicamus Domino提供了一个新的、富有成效的视角：Benedicams Domino不仅被特别允许在圣诞节用复调演唱，而且许多圣诞歌曲实际上都是Benedicamos的比喻。我在一首广为传播的歌曲《Puer nobis nascitur》中追溯了Benedimus Domino的用途和功能含义。基于对其拉丁语复调版本及其与拉丁语和白话文混合的传播的分析，我认为Benedicamus是圣诞歌曲中故意使用的一个元素，用于指导精神锻炼和冥想，在圣诞节期间激励和表达欢乐。
