The (Un)Familiar: Rethinking the Italian Renaissance Nude with Jill Burke

Looking at Renaissance art through the eyes of a 15th century Italian

Italian Studies at HarvardbyItalian Studies at Harvard
Time: 1 min read

In The Italian Renaissance Nude (Yale University Press, 2018), Dr. Jill Burke, Senior Lecturer in the History of Art at the University of Edinburgh, constructs a novel interpretation of the Renaissance nude by examining how nakedness, both in art and everyday life, was perceived at the time. In conversation with Ilgin Nas, a senior at Harvard College, she provides insight into the challenges she met while researching and composing her new book, as well as shares larger observations about the Renaissance, the nude, and the existing scholarship on these topics.

Italian Studies at Harvard

Harvard non è solo l’università più ricca del pianeta e quella in cui si forma la futura classe dirigente americana. È anche un luogo dove si immagina una società migliore e si cercano i mezzi per realizzarla. Fra questi mezzi, la cultura, e specificamente la cultura italiana, troppo spesso trascurata o tradita in patria e che invece costituisce un patrimonio straordinario, capace di indurre bellezza e innovazione. Un patrimonio da proteggere, esplorare, esportare. Per questo collaboriamo a questa rubrica -- studenti, dottorandi e docenti, americani e italiani, convinti che l'arte e il pensiero siano indispensabili per cambiare e salvare il mondo. Not only is Harvard the wealthiest university in the world, it is also an institution that molds future generations of American leaders. Not only is it a space devoted to imagining a better society, but also to forging the tools to realize it. Tools are forged from resources, and Italian culture represents an extraordinary patrimony capable of embodying beauty and inspiring innovation. It is for this reason that we collaborate on this column – graduate students, undergraduates and professors, Americans and Italians, all convinced that art and thought are powerful and indispensable means of saving the world.
