As you complete your reading this week, don't forget to check out the
Castiglione Resource page on the wiki. On it, I've linked to the very useful
work-in-progress begun by the Castiglione "wiki note-takers". You'll also see a few questions I posted regarding the theme of Renaissance portraiture:
- What is the purpose of the portrait?
- Can you ever really capture the "true" essence of a person?
- What techniques to painters use? writers?
- Why might "portraiture" be an appropriate theme for thinking about the connections between Renaissance cultural thought, painting, and literature?
