Giovanni da Udine (1487-1561) - Dettaglio del finto pergolato con festoni di frutta e fiori che incornicia le Storie di Amore e Psiche, ciclo realizzato da Raffaello e aiuti nella Loggia di Psiche, Villa Farnesina, Roma.

Tra i tanti capricci realizzati da Giovanni si notano una serie di composizioni basate su zucchine, cetrioli ed altre verdure lungiformi, che prendono la forma di falli e che si pongono quali elementi apotropaici di fertilità e di buon augurio. Il più notevole, ricordato anche dal Vasari, è il capriccio posto sopra Mercurio ed indicato dalla stessa divinità.

“…sopra la figura di un Mercurio che vola ha finto per Priapo una zucca attraversata da villucchi, che ha per testicoli due petroncioni, e vicino al fiore di quella ha finto una ciocca di fichi brugiotti grossi, dentro a uno dei quali, aperto e troppo fatto, entra la punta della zucca col fiore, il quale capriccio è espresso con tanta grazia, che più non si piò alcuno immaginare”

Giorgio Vasari, vita di Giovanni da Udine.

Oscar Wilde photographed by Napoleon Sarony, 1882.

These photographs were taken in January of 1882, when Wilde had first arrived in America for his year long lecture tour. All were taken in the studio of the most famous portrait photographer of the time, Canadian born Napoleon Sarony. The various furs, capes, velvet jackets, and stockings Wilde wore for the photo shoot reflected the attire he would wear to his lectures.

It certainly surprised me when I found out that the majority of Wilde’s most iconic images came from the same session, and were taken in the U.S. when Wilde had only published a yet to be produced play, Vera; or, the Nihilists, and a single book of verse (which Wilde can be seen holding in the first and second photographs).
