Asserts the importance of decipherment as a fundamental hermeneutic activity in relation to Renaissance visual culture, and examines the interpretation of ancient sculpture of unknown subjects in Italy in the 16th c. Focuses on the example of the Sleeping Ariadne (Rome, Vatican, Musei Vaticani), which was first called "Cleopatra" or "Sleeping Nymph," and received its present identification only in the 18th c.
