SUMMARY:2016 IAS/Kress Lecture in Italy\, Florence
DESCRIPTION:The seventh annual IAS/Kress Italian Lecture series took pl
 ace on 1 June 2016 at Villa I Tatti\, The Harvard University Center f
 or Italian Renaissance Studies\, Florence. Megan Holmes (University of 
 Michigan) was the featured lecturer. \n\n\n\nThis paper will explore an
  understudied feature of Florentine Renaissance panel paintings: evidenc
 e of the intentional scratching\, with a sharp implement\, of the pictor
 ial figuration and imagery. These scratch marks\, found across a variety
  of genres and formats\, and display contexts\, can rarely be documented
  and or dated with any precision. Similar intentional markings can also 
 be found in works of art in other global\, historical cultures. I will a
 rgue\, nonetheless\, that these scored Italian Renaissance panel paintin
 gs constitute an intriguing body of historical evidence that offers insi
 ghts into the dynamic and motivated manner in which people interacted wi
 th images in daily life in their religious and social practices\, in pub
 lic and private spaces. The practice seems to have been more widely prev
 alent in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries\, tapering off in the si
 xteenth century. I will attempt to theorize and situate these scratching
  acts\, looking at both Renaissance period perspectives and current scho
 larship on global “iconoclasms.” These deliberate markings are part 
 of what Michael Camille called “the archaeology of the image and its s
 ubsequent reception” and they need to be more in evidence in collectio
 ns\, photographic reproductions\, and the art histories that we write. S
