Diana Scultoris Toro Farnese (1581)

With the Toro Farnese (1581), the Italian printmaker Diana Scultori (c. 1547-1612) translated one of the most famous ancient sculptures into engraving. Contrary to what might be assumed, print reproductions of sculpture have hardly come into the focus of research so far. The article therefore questions factors and intentions in the process of translation from sculpture to print. How does Scultori carry out the media transfer and how does she deal with the materiality of the sculpture in the process? The examination of those artistic processes shows that Scultori applies a conscious interplay of documentation and interpretation of the Toro Farnese.

Nina Günther is a research assistant at the Institute for Art History at the University of Münster. Her dissertation project on the materiality and systematics of the collection of print albums of Prince Eugene of Savoy (1663-1736) lines up with her research focus on the early modern (reproductive) print.
