Memoria
Allegory of remembrance on a plinth, based on the description of Cesare Ripa’s Iconologia.
His book, since its first publishing in 1593, fixed a uniform code between the artist, the client, and the educated spectator for centuries. These allegories are common in monuments, but for our generation, these attributes mean different things. Is Memoria two-faced, wearing a mourning dress, and making memos? Ripa had different intentions, but for us, this misreading works well.
