Abstract (en)

Around 1519 the works of Girolamo Romanino underwent a stylistic change: formerly a close follower of Titian, he developed an anti-classical, heterodox visual language. This shift should not be interpreted in the traditional narrative terms as a case of the provincial artist unable to keep up with his more distinguished colleague. Analysis of his network of patrons and his probable relationship with the Benedictine monk and macaronic writer Teofilo Folengo suggests instead that Romanino's experiments were a conscious and cultivated critique of the High Renaissance classical canon of which Titian was the best exponent in Northern Italy.
