This essay examines the collision of Renaissance narrative or historia in the visual arts and the eyewitnessed event and the pressure put on that convergence by the dissemination of the latter in the new print media. The example discussed here is the Council of Trent, a storyless but signal event that conformed with difficulty to an ideal “historia,” and one that was often depicted after eyewitnessed scenes of the event had already been disseminated in engravings. The veracity of the scene captured in a print created new chains of media: prints led to paintings, and to more prints, and images led to written history, rather than vice versa.

目击者历史学家和文艺复兴时期的媒体革命：特伦特委员会的视觉历史

本文考察了文艺复兴时期叙事或历史学家在视觉艺术和目击者事件中的碰撞，以及后者在新的印刷媒体中的传播所带来的压力。此处讨论的示例是特伦特议会，这是一个没有故事性但具有标志性的事件，很难与理想的“ historia”相符，并且通常是在事件的目击者场景已经散布在版画上之后进行描绘的。在印刷品中捕捉到的场景的真实性创造了新的媒体链：印刷品导致绘画，更多印刷品，图像导致书面历史，而不是相反。
