  Titian

  Colonna and the Renaissance Science of Procreation (2010)

  Titian

  Colonna and the Renaissance Science of Procreation demonstrates that two major monuments of Italian Renaissance culture - Bellini's and Titian's famous series of mytho-poetical paintings for the camerino of Duke Alfonso d'Este of Ferrara

  and Francesco Colonna's Hypnerotomachia Poliphili - were conceived as mnemonic or pedagogical devices aimed at educating the reader/beholder in the medical science of reproductive physiology and the maintenance of sexual health. It is further argued that the learned courtier Mario Equicola

  who conceived the pictorial program of Duke Alfonso's camerino

  had read Colonna's text and was extensively inspired by its prior literary argument.
