  • Resumen
    • The writer discusses the role the debate about the relative power of visual and written expression (paragone) played in Renaissance literature on imprese. The impresa was a symbolic construction consisting of a brief illustration accompanied by a motto. How each of these components contributed to the expression of the device's meaning was one of the main preoccupations of the 16th-century theorists who sought to define its mechanisms. The writer goes on to examine how impresa theorists engaged with the paragone between painting and poetry.
