| Abstract: |
Giorgio Vasari created the first allegories of the twenty-four hours
in the mid-16th century. This essay explores
Vasari's novel images in the context of his visual and literary
sources, the rising importance of household timepieces, and the
artist's other works and writings. Although a focussed study of a
single motif within Vasari's oeuvre, it has implications for the
broader transformation time perception and its psychological
dimensions then taking place in Early Modern Europe. |
