Hello, all- I'm an English and American Literature librarian out of my depth on this topic, so am appealing for help. I'm working with a faculty member doing some research on the source and iconography for a series of Northern Italian engravings from the 1590s. The engravings display anthropomorphic figures from Ovid's _Metamorphoses_. They've already checked potential candidates from illustrated pre-1590's printed editions of the _Metamorphoses_, as well as the Ovid Illustrated site from the Univ. of Virginia. I've also been looking through WorldCat for things like a dictionary of Italian Renaissance iconography. Since I'm not an art librarian, I wanted to ask if there were some well-known and magical art history source that would be a good place to start. Or perhaps there's an index or website that would help? Are there other methods that would be useful, when researching a Renaissance image and how it might copy or refer to other images or sources? Thanks in advance, Amanda __________________________________________________ Amanda Rust * Research & Instruction Librarian * Northeastern University Libraries 360 Huntington Ave. Boston MA 02115 * [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> * (617) 373-8548 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
