Victor Stoichita offers a sensational reinterpretation of one of
the most famous and at the same time one of the most enigmatic
paintings of the Italian Renaissance - Vittore Carpaccio's The
Vision of St. Augustine. Carpaccio (c. 1465-1525) created the
painting in the Scuola degli Schiavoni in Venice at the beginning
of the 16th century, as part of an interior design cycle honoring
St. Jerome. Stoichita clarifies how Carpaccio was able to represent
a telepathic miracle in the medium of painting, not only by
bringing clarity to the complex iconography of the work, but also
through a reanalysis of the textual sources and the thick fabric of
interconnected ties between the written and painted story. His
interpretation of the image also significantly changes the view of
its program and the meaning of the painting cycle as a whole. The
book was produced in the context of the Panofsky professorship at
the Zentralinstitut fur Kunstgeschichte in Munich, which Victor
Stoichita held in 2016.
