• catalog abstract ""Pietro Aretino's literary influence was felt throughout most of Europe during the sixteenth century, yet English-language criticism of this writer's work has hitherto been scarce. Raymond B. Waddington's study redresses this situation, drawing together literary and visual arts criticism in its examination of Aretino's carefully cultivated persona - a persona created through his scandalous writings and behaviour, and through a wide variety of visual arts and crafts." "In the Renaissance, satire was identified with the figure of the satyr. The satirist Aretino promoted himself as a satyr, an embodiment of the mythical being associated with unbridled sexuality and truthfulness. Waddington shows how Aretino's own construction of his public identity came to eclipse the value of his writings, causing him to be denigrated as a pornographer and blackmailer." "Arguing that Aretino's deployment of an artistic network for self-promotional ends was so successful that for a period his face was possibly the most famous in Western Europe, Waddington also defends Aretino, describing his involvement in the larger sphere of the production and promotion of the visual arts of the period." "Aretino's Satyr is illustrated with examples of the visual media used by the writer to create his persona. These include portraits by major artists, and arti minori: engravings, portrait medals, and woodcuts."--Jacket.".
