Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book portrays a series of 16th century political satires penned mostly anonymously and attributed to two marble statues in Rome: Pasquin and Marforio. Originally posted at the base of a statue depicting a gladiator, Pasquin and his companion Marforio served as mouthpieces for Romans expressing discontent with the excesses and corruption within the Roman Catholic Church. These translated epigrams reflect the irreverent Roman wit of the time, employing wordplay, irony, and humor to critique and challenge the authority of papal figures, including Pope Sixtus IV, Pope Alexander VI, and Pope Julius II. Tackling lofty subjects through a popular lens, this book shines a light on the ways in which art has historically intersected with political dissent and free speech, and the role of satire in resisting oppressive power. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780243051014_0
