Theatre and iconography: questions of method and exempla


Renzo Guardenti (University of Florence)

24 gennaio 2024, ore 14:30, Aula A, Ex Vetrerie Sciarra

The seminar aims to retrace the relationship between theater and iconography through the most important acquisitions in theater historiography and the experience of the Dionysos Digital Archive, active at the SAGAS Department of the University of Florence. In particular, the problems related to the cataloguing of theater images and the main types of theatrical iconography (illustration, depiction, representation, actor's portrait) will be highlighted through a series of representative examples from the various periods of the history of performing arts and the artistic techniques used in the creation of figurative documents.
