講演概要>One of the major challenges in art historical research is to find ways of understanding the goals and intentions - if any - of an artist in producing an original work. Often, in the (assumed) absence of explicit textual documentation, the historian resorts to "reading" the work, trying to interpret its meaning by combining visual clues with contextual information on the artist and his/her time. This has been the case with many paintings by Osman Hamdi Bey (1842-1910), a celebrated Ottoman artist and intellectual. Basing myself on his Man with Tortoises (1906), a painting with a surprising Japanese connection, I will try to show that this interpretive method can be very misleading, especially when common sense and more conventional research can reveal much more tangible and trustworthy evidence.
