Les Nabis (the Prophets) was a club of artists including Pierre … Continue reading "Hocus Pocus: Paul Ranson’s Occult Paintings of Witches and their Familiars"

Ulisse Aldrovandi, Monstrorum historia cum Paralipomenis historiae omnium animalium. Bartholomaeus Ambrosinus ... labore, et studio volumen composuit. Marcus Antonius Bernia in lucem edidit. Proprijs sumptibus ... cum indice copiosissimo Ulisse Aldrovandi (11 September 1522 - 4 May 1605) was an Italian naturalist, the moving force behind Bologna's botanical garden, one of the first in Europe. Carolus Linnaeus and the comte de Buffon reckoned him the father of natural history studies. He is usually referred to, especially in older literature, as Aldrovandus. Aldrovandi was born in Bologna to a noble family, which sent him to apprentice with merchants, but he found his vocation, after studying humanities and law at the universities of Bologna and Padua and becoming a notary. Successively his interests went out to philosophy and logic which he combined with the study of medicine. He obtained a degree in medicine and philosophy in 1553 and started teaching logic and philosophy in 1554 at the University of Bologna. In 1559 he became professor of philosophy and in 1561 he became the first professor of natural sciences at Bologna (lectura philosophiae naturalis ordinaria de fossilibus, plantis et animalibus). n the course of his life he would assemble one of the most spectacular cabinets of curiosities, his "theatre" illuminating natural history comprising some 7000 specimens of the diversità di cose naturali, of which he wrote a description in 1595.

The chapter explores pictorial representations of the Arma Christi in late medieval visual art under the premise of their list-like character. The aim is to explain how artists designed the representations of the Arma with a conceptual purpose regarding the interplay of aesthetics and functionality to tie the beholder’s gaze and thoughts to the Passion of Christ. As will be shown, an examination of the Arma from the perspective of enumeration enables a more theoretical understanding of the list and its potential in the late medieval practice of piety.
