Full textIn his 'Book of the Courtier' (Venice, 1528), Baldassare Castiglione (1478-1529) touches on 'a certain Recklessness ('sprezzatura'), to cover art withall, and seem whatsoever [the Courtier] does and says to do it without pain, and (as it were) not minding it', of which 'grace is much derived', 'for in rare matters and well brought to pass every man knows the hardness of them, so that a readiness therein makes great wonder' (I, XXVI, modern-spelling Hoby translation). Our study begins with a contextual analysis of 'sprezzatura''s main concepts : grace versus beauty, nature and artlessness versus labour. From a genealogical point of view, we then offer a fresh aesthetical translation of Augustine's theological (and anthropological) concept of grace, which turns out to strongly support 'sprezzatura''s conceptual frame ; we thereupon investigate Castiglione's relationship to the 'classical' value of artlessness, as found both among Ancients (Horace, Cicero, the Elder Pliny) and Moderns (Boileau, Rapin, Bouhours, Gracián). Setting back the focus on context, we then expound the inner workings of the Court, become acquainted with a number of contemporary theorists of Beauty and Grace (Ficino, Alberti, Bembo, Diacceto, Varchi, Firenzuola, Della Casa, Romei, Sardi, Accetto), and set 'sprezzatura' within the realm of 'Maniera' (especially Bronzino and Giambologna). Conclusions are eventually drawn while discussing Bourdieu's concept of 'Distinction'.We hold that 'sprezzatura' should not be reduced to the classical scheme of 'ars est celare artem', neither does it shrink grace to the mere lustre of beauty ; much to the contrary, it accounts for the very drama of imminence, thus making an aesthetical use of imagination inspired by the Christian understanding of grace. Neither should the 'mediocritas' claimed by Castiglione be reduced to its lesser self, inspired by the likes of Della Casa and Accetto : it strives for a perfect balance and a virtuoso equilibrium between the merely natural and the ridicule of 'affettazione' (which may be linked to the pursuit of the sublime). Truly, 'sprezzatura' 'reaches to the edge of generosity' (Baltasar Gracián, 'El Héroe', XIII, personal translation).Various Appendices are attached, especially : an enquiry into the roots of the concept of 'Angel' wielded by Ficino and Diacceto ; a review of various courts of the Italian Renaissance outlining their main aesthetical and cultural values

Full text"Rhetoric of Imagination and of Sprezzatura in Louise Labé and Isabella Andreini" redefines the relationship between gender and imagination in the act of writing. The goal is not to argue that women write in a different manner than men, rather, by reading their texts together with male contemporaries, this work illustrates how writers engaged in various strategies, and in particular the rhetoric of imagination and of sprezzatura, to establish themselves within the literary culture of the period. Labé (c.1520-1566) and Andreini (1562-1604), grant themselves the authority to write by modeling their needs on the examples set by their male counterparts. The Introductory Chapter consists of a statement of the purpose of the study, its significance, and an outline of the work; it also includes biographies of Louise Labé and Isabella Andreini and contextualizes their socio-economical status. Chapter 1: Prefaces in Louise Labé and Isabella Andreini, A Means to Self-Promotion, analyzes the prefaces of Labé and Andreini, in which they solicit patronage. This practice is an important tool for those seeking social mobility, security, and recognition by others. Chapter 2: Rhetoric of Imagination in Louise Labé and Isabella Andreini, elaborates the role and essential androgyny of imagination. By focusing on the fundamental characteristics of this faculty, its "power of sensory representation," this dissertation argues that Petrarca and Montaigne's idea of imagination is intimately related to man's desire to transform reality, to produce images and, ultimately, to engage in the act of writing, and both Labé and Andreini self-consciously reflect on this function in their words. Both writers develop a rhetoric of imagination that permits them to surpass the very question of gender by taking a position of power with respect to their writing and their rights as authors. Chapter 3: Rhetoric of sprezzatura in Louise Labé and Isabella Andreini, examines how Labé and Andreini use sprezzatura as a rhetorical strategy that allows them to identify with their male ounterparts and cross the boundaries of society while seeking "fame." From my analysis of imagination and sprezzatura I have observed that these are two conditions that create tension between their private and public spheres of Labé and Andreini. On the one hand, imagination is a mental effort, and belongs to the realm of the private; and, on the other, sprezzatura is tied to the rules of eloquence, thus belongs to the realm of the public. In their texts this duality manifests itself through the interplay of the androgynous "I" which masks their identity. In conclusion, this study shows how Labé and Andreini manipulate the existing dominating structure of society to fit gender expectations

Full textThe choice of clothing depicted in a portrait is often meaningful, and this is especially true in the Early Modern Period and the Enlightment. The meanings of many official attributes and costumes have been extensively studied and commented on, but what about portraits « en négligé » ? From the 1670s onwards, the meaning of the French « négligé » took on a new, less pejorative meaning and qualified comfortable clothing, opposed to great adornment. This study aims at determining the circumstances that lead to a revaluation of the point of view on the « négligé » and explaining its wide use in portraits, in the context of relations between France and England, which are alternating periods of assimilation and rejection, the effects of which on artistic practices are no longer to be demonstrated. In the eighteenth century, the term « négligé » refers to clothing as well as artistic styles in painting or literature, or a totally artificial attitude linked, for women, to the codified ritual of the toilet : it concerns the social practices of elites, characterized by a constant concern for representation. In some ways, the « négligé » evokes the « sprezzatura » of Baldassare Castiglione, but during the eighteenth century it is associated to, or opposed to, the idea of « natural ». Finally, the « négligé » fashion is linked to the rejection of the codes of adornment, contributing to the blurring of the Ancien Regime social hierarchy, and allowing an individual affirmation at the expense of group identity. New reading keys are thus given for portraits in which the representation of clothing did not seem significant

Full textItaly, the cradle of Castiglione’s sprezzata desinvoltura, is undoubtedly the country where the ambiguous relationship between art, politics and media is the strongest. The Italian pavilion of the Venice Biennale in 2009 and 2011 illustrates the complex game of appearances, which are “making worlds" or "lighting up nations." Reading again the history of art through the prism of Castiglione’s concept, the thesis shows us that the world (of art) is itself the effect of this “disinvoltura” ambivalence. Far from having subjugate art to their concepts, the great men, whether kings, philosophers or businessmen are the effects of this casualness (“desinvoltura”) of art. Like Monsieur Jourdain, they would make art without knowing it. Exit Machiavelli! It is now urgent to think this "ruse of art" that leads the world. These are the fundamental stakes of this thesis, that basing itself on the Nietzschean eternal return schema, distinguishes several casualness figures, historical, philosophical and aesthetic
