Between Art and Literature: Lodovico Beccadelli and the Visual Culture of Renaissance Bologna

In his biography of the Bolognese prelate Lodovico Beccadelli (1501-1572), his secretary Antonio Giganti noted that he was "infinitely beloved by most excellent and singular artists", among which Titian and Michelangelo ; this statement is confirmed by Titian’s portrait of Lodovico Beccadelli now in the Uffizi and by the prelate’s epistolary and poetic exchange with Michelangelo. However, in the course his almost four-decade long ecclesiastical career spent both in the centres and on the peripheries of artistic production, Beccadelli remained strongly attached to the visual culture of his native city. The paper discusses distinct elements related to the artistic heritage of Bologna that appeared in the small Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik) at the very south of the Dalmatian coast in the central years of the sixteenth century.
