In the Brutus passage on urbanitas Cicero cites the example of the Athenian Theophrastus, whom an old market vendor immediately called hospes, stranger, when he inquired about a price. The jocosity of Giulio's architecture is a manifestation of urbanitas or urbanity, which is always the point of view from which the antithetical rustic world is approached, whether here, in the Medici grotto (another work for a sophisticated court) or in Titian's Pastorale, where a courtly musician enters the world of shepherds and nymphs. |
