Dosso's art challenges conventional iconographic analysis, and Fiorenza considers how the poetics governing his imagery recasts literary sources, including Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, by magnifying their most pictorial components. Perhaps more compellingly than any of his contemporaries, Dosso's paintings transformed courtly ideals and princely identity into a new sensual spirit.
“Giancarlo Fiorenza has provided an indispensable contribution to the study of Italian Renaissance culture. . . . There is, in fact, no comparable account of Ferrarese court culture in the sixteenth century.” - Stephen Campbell, The Johns Hopkins University
“In this beautifully crafted, original study, Fiorenza not only renovates Dosso's reputation in terms of his ‘luxuriant and festive manner,' but also effectively situates his work within its northern Italian context.” - J. B. Gregory, Choice
“This is an elegantly argued and beautifully produced book. It is also provocative, in that it raises still more questions about Dosso, his work, and his times.” - Charles M. Rosenberg, Renaissance Quarterly
