14. How do we study history? How do we know if history is “true”? What are some sources of “history”? How do we know whether to trust them? What is the difference between the written and the visual over time? Has history changed with the advent of visual records? What is the humanist vs. the non-humanist approach to recording history and why does the distinction matter?

15. What changes? Costumes change to the prevailing fashion Gestures change to reflect the shifting nuances in relationships or new ideas of behavior Settings become more elaborate and particularized Participants and bystanders proliferate

28. Trial about the painting … your Most Illustrious Lordships had ordered him to cause to be placed in the picture a Magdalen instead of the dog; and I answered him that very readily I would do all that was needful for my reputation and for the honor of the picture; but that I did not understand what this figure of the Magdalen could be doing here;

29. Q. In this Supper which you painted for San Giovanni e Paolo, what signifies the figure of him whose nose is bleeding? A. He is a servant who has a nose-bleed from some accident. Q. What signify those armed men dressed in the fashion of Germany, with halberds in their hands? A. We painters use the same license as poets and madmen, and I represented those halberdiers, the one drinking, the other eating at the foot of the stairs, but both ready to do their duty, because it seemed to me suitable and possible that the master of the house, who as I have been told was rich and magnificent, would have such servants. Q. And the one who is dressed as a jester with a parrot on his wrist, why did you put him into the picture? A. He is there as an ornament, as it is usual to insert such figures.
