Ghirlandaio paper: Stylistic Analysis Section
Due Thursday, April 6
Write a 5-6 page (typed, double-spaced) paper – 6-7 for graduate and honors students – in" rel="nofollow">in which you analyze the style of the Ghirlandaio pain" rel="nofollow">intin" rel="nofollow">ing you have selected. Your stylistic analysis should
do these two tasks in" rel="nofollow">in the order specified, devotin" rel="nofollow">ing about half the pages to each task:
1) fully explain" rel="nofollow">in, givin" rel="nofollow">ing specific visual evidence in" rel="nofollow">in support of your poin" rel="nofollow">ints, how Ghirlandaio's style here exemplifies early Renaissance features. Here you must cite (and discuss in" rel="nofollow">in specific detail)
several specific works by other Italian Renaissance artists that demonstrate the same or similar stylistic features.
Note that a stronger analysis will:
-- start in" rel="nofollow">in the first sentence with a thesis summin" rel="nofollow">ing up the main" rel="nofollow">in poin" rel="nofollow">int about how Ghirlandaio's style exemplifies early Renaissance features (not with a sentence like: "Ghirlandaio was a major
Renaissance artist who created works of great beauty"; or "The Renaissance was a time when there were great advances in" rel="nofollow">in art.")
-- demonstrate how Ghirlandaio's style relates to later Quattrocento style, rather than to Quattrocento style more generally
-- give detailed and specific stylistic analysis in" rel="nofollow">in support of the claims made in" rel="nofollow">in the paper
-- address any specific stylistic sources on which Ghirlandaio draws for this work (in" rel="nofollow">in other words, specific artists and/or specific art works that in" rel="nofollow">influenced the specific pain" rel="nofollow">intin" rel="nofollow">ing you are
studyin" rel="nofollow">ing)
2) fully explain" rel="nofollow">in how your pain" rel="nofollow">intin" rel="nofollow">ing exemplifies stylistic characteristics of either his early or mature phase (dependin" rel="nofollow">ing on which work you chose). In doin" rel="nofollow">ing so, you must compare your work to at least
one work by Ghirlandaio from the same phase of production (showin" rel="nofollow">ing how they are similar) and at least one work by Ghirlandaio from the other phase (showin" rel="nofollow">ing how they differ).
Note that a stronger analysis here will:
-- not just list differences and similarities, but adduce similarities and differences as part of an argument that brin" rel="nofollow">ings out Ghirlandaio's stylistic development
-- select strong examples for the comparison, which brin" rel="nofollow">ing out the stylistic similarities and differences especially clearly
Make sure your paper :
?is an analysis, not a description. Analysis means that you are directin" rel="nofollow">ing your poin" rel="nofollow">ints toward provin" rel="nofollow">ing a thesis – as opposed to just describin" rel="nofollow">ing what you see.
?sticks to style and does not get in" rel="nofollow">into iconography
?sticks to the tasks assigned and does not give "background" about Ghirlandaio or his technique or historical issues
?in" rel="nofollow">include scans or xeroxes of your work and all the works you compare your work to; please have figure numbers on these scans or xeroxes, which correlate to figure references in" rel="nofollow">in your paper
Required research:
-- article on Ghirlandaio from Grove Dictionary of Art
-- monograph on Ghirlandaio by Jeanne K. Cadogan (on course reserve in" rel="nofollow">in Fin" rel="nofollow">ine Arts Library)
-- 2 additional books on course reserve
-- 2 relevant articles relatin" rel="nofollow">ing to the topic of this paper
-- 1 additional book or article relevant to your topic (possibly through Interlibrary Loan)
-- for honors and grad students: 2 additional references beyond those listed above
Note that neglectin" rel="nofollow">ing key sources relevant to your paper will have a negative impact on your grade.

Ghirlandaio paper: Iconographic Section
Due Thursday, April 27
Write a 5-6 page (typed, double-spaced) paper – 6-7 for graduate and honors students – in" rel="nofollow">in which you analyze the iconography of the Ghirlandaio pain" rel="nofollow">intin" rel="nofollow">ing you have selected (the same one you wrote
your stylistic analysis on). Your iconographic analysis should do these two tasks in" rel="nofollow">in the order specified, devotin" rel="nofollow">ing about half the pages to each task:
1) explain" rel="nofollow">in the iconography of your pain" rel="nofollow">intin" rel="nofollow">ing, explain" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing any symbolic or allegorical elements (if relevant), and assessin" rel="nofollow">ing Ghirlandaio's approach and in" rel="nofollow">interpretation of the subject matter. Consider
how closely Ghirlandaio follows any written sources (e.g., the Bible and/or other religious literature, such as legends, apocryphal writin" rel="nofollow">ings and devotional literature, as relevant).
Note that a stronger analysis
?will start with a thesis summin" rel="nofollow">ing up the Ghirlandaio's main" rel="nofollow">in approach to the subject matter.
?will not just narrate the story shown, but will drive a lin" rel="nofollow">ine of argument about Ghirlandaio's approach to the subject matter
?will keep focused on the pain" rel="nofollow">intin" rel="nofollow">ing you are studyin" rel="nofollow">ing
2) explain" rel="nofollow">in how Ghirlandaio's treatment of the subject matter compares to treatments of that same (or very similar) subject matter in" rel="nofollow">in Italian Renaissance art, considerin" rel="nofollow">ing earlier works of art or
works done around the same time period (these can in" rel="nofollow">include other works by Ghirlandaio treatin" rel="nofollow">ing the same theme, if relevant to your work). In your analysis consider whether Ghirlandaio follows
traditions of visual representations of that scene, tweaks them, or presents them in" rel="nofollow">in an entirely new way. Be sure to consider at least three other depictions of the scene.
Note that a stronger analysis
? has a lin" rel="nofollow">ine of argument about whether Ghirlandaio has any special take on the subject matter or simply follows pictorial traditions
?provides solid and specific evidence for the lin" rel="nofollow">ine of argument presented
Make sure your paper :
?is an analysis, not a description. Analysis means that you are directin" rel="nofollow">ing your poin" rel="nofollow">ints toward provin" rel="nofollow">ing a thesis – as opposed to just describin" rel="nofollow">ing what you see.
?sticks to iconography and does not get in" rel="nofollow">into style (unless stylistic issues support your iconographic claims)
?sticks to the tasks assigned and does not give "background" about Ghirlandaio or his technique or historical issues
?in" rel="nofollow">include scans or xeroxes of your work and all the works you compare your work to; please have figure numbers on these scans or xeroxes, which correlate to figure references in" rel="nofollow">in your paper
Required research:
In writin" rel="nofollow">ing this section of your paper you must supplement your bibliography from the stylistic analysis section of your paper with at least these sources:
-- 1 iconographic dictionary (reference work), which discusses the theme of your pain" rel="nofollow">intin" rel="nofollow">ing
-- 1 source (article or book) which treat the iconography of your pain" rel="nofollow">intin" rel="nofollow">ing
-- honors and grad students are required to have one more additional source
Chicago Manual of Style Citation Guide: Jacobs papers
There can be differences within" rel="nofollow">in Chicago manual of style form, but this is the "house style" for Jacobs papers. If you do not use the house style your paper will be returned to you and not graded
until the style is corrected (other parts of the paper cannot be corrected or changed durin" rel="nofollow">ing this time). Endnotes will be required for all papers, sin" rel="nofollow">ince proper citation of sources is absolutely
necessary for all papers. I will in" rel="nofollow">inform you if a bibliography will be required as well.
For your paper you should use endnotes, not footnotes. NO REFERENCES IN PARENTHESES ALLOWED. These should be in" rel="nofollow">indicated by Arabic numbers (not Roman numerals) and these should be superscript
numbers. The format should be as follows:
For a book:
Name of author (first name first), title of book (place of publication: name of publisher, year of publication of book), page or pages where the in" rel="nofollow">information you cite comes from
Lynn F. Jacobs, Openin" rel="nofollow">ing Doors: The Early Netherlandish Triptych Rein" rel="nofollow">interpreted (University Park: Penn State Press, 2012), 213-26.
Note that the title of the book is in" rel="nofollow">in italics.
Note that you must in" rel="nofollow">include page numbers where the specific in" rel="nofollow">information is to be found.
For an article:
Name of author (first name first), "Title of Article," Title of Journal volume number of journal (date of article): page or pages where the in" rel="nofollow">information you cite comes from.
Lynn F. Jacobs, "The Triptychs of Hieronymus Bosch," Sixteenth Century Journal 31 (2000): 27.
Note that the title of the journal is in" rel="nofollow">in italics and the title of the article is in" rel="nofollow">in quotation marks.
Note that if you get an article from JSTOR, JSTOR is NEVER part of the reference. JSTOR provides name of journal, volume, date, etc. and this is what you should use.
For an essay in" rel="nofollow">in a volume of essays:
Name of author of essay (first name first), "Title of Essay," in" rel="nofollow">in Title of Book, ed. name of editor(s) (place of publication: name of press, date), page number
C. Clifford Flanigan, "The Movin" rel="nofollow">ing Subject: Medieval Liturgical Processions in" rel="nofollow">in Semiotic and Cultural Perspective," in" rel="nofollow">in Movin" rel="nofollow">ing Subjects: Processional Performance in" rel="nofollow">in the Middle Ages and the
Renaissance, ed. Kathleen Ashley and Wim Hüskin" rel="nofollow">in (Amsterdam: Rodopi, 2001), 39.
Repeat citations:
If you have several citations from the same source, you do not have to provide complete citations again" rel="nofollow">in. You should do as follows in" rel="nofollow">in these circumstances:
1) If you are repeatin" rel="nofollow">ing a citation from a source directly after the same citation, you can write:
Ibid., 231. (note that the ibid means that the endnote directly above is the same book as that cited in" rel="nofollow">in this endnote). Note the period after Ibid. You can keep usin" rel="nofollow">ing Ibid if you have numerous
citations from the same source one after another.
2) If you do not cite the same book or article immediately after one another, but you have already provided a full citation for the book or article the first time you cite it, you should use a
short form citation:
last name of author, short title of book or article, page number
Jacobs, Openin" rel="nofollow">ing Doors, 267.
Note that you have to have first cited the book fully and only use the short form for additional citations of the book (which do not directly follow each other, in" rel="nofollow">in which case you would use ibid).
