This paper aims at studying the role of clients as third party of the art system in Modern Times. To detect a possible third-party-relationship in art, the epistemological approach draws from art sociology and focusses on the economics of art production, though relying on the case-study-tradition of iconology in order to verify the suitability of the proposed theoretical model. The specific case study refers to the Venetian Renaissance studying the Frari triptych by Giovanni Bellini, painted at the end of the 15th Century and dealing with the religious dispute on the Immaculate Conception of the Madonna.

Il presente saggio intende approfondire il ruolo della committenza quale terza parte nel sistema dell’arte in Età Moderna. Al fine di identificare un possibile rapporto di terzietà nell’arte, l’approccio di ricerca si fonda sulla sociologia dell’arte e si concentra sul funzionamento economico della produzione artistica, pur sfruttando infine la tradizione dei casi di studio di matrice iconologica per verificare la correttezza del modello proposto. L’esempio sotto osservazione fa riferimento al Rinascimento Veneziano trattandosi del Trittico dei Frari di Giovanni Bellini, realizzato alla fine del XV secolo e concernente la disputa sull’Immacolata Concezione della Madonna.

Abstract

This paper aims at studying the role of clients as third party of the art system in Modern Times. To detect a possible third-party-relationship in art, the epistemological approach draws from art sociology and focusses on the economics of art production, though relying on the case-study-tradition of iconology in order to verify the suitability of the proposed theoretical model. The specific case study refers to the Venetian Renaissance studying the Frari triptych by Giovanni Bellini, painted at the end of the 15th Century and dealing with the religious dispute on the Immaculate Conception of the Madonna.
