I am currently working on a research project that will employ a theory based on Baxandall to examine Italian Renaissance paintings, particularly ones by Venetian painters, that have as one of their subjects the lute--"The Lute Observed", if you will. A study of the meanings of the lute as a matter of musical iconography of the period. I would be most grateful to hear any suggestions on relevant literature.
Many thanks, Dori -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
