abstract = "Through the discussion of two practical “case studies”, the authors deal with a classical theme of iconographical studies, that is the complex relationship between text and image. The two examples explain in particular how the “intention” of the artist or patron, and so the deeper meaning of the pictures, are not revealed by the exact correspondences between text and image, but emerge mainly from the recognition of the differences. Often this gap between text and image can be originated from the liturgy or can be explained by the links with ritual practices, in which the pictures are involved. Catholic prelates from Kotor were able to commission such artists who could paint the fresco programs of town churches mostly based on models found in Byzantine art because such solutions offered them possibilities of forming their own program based on the liturgy of the Catholic Church. In the case of the Olivuccio di Ceccarello’s Dormitio, from Sirolo, the semi-liturgical rituality of the assault on the properties of the Jews, accepted by the Church, justifies the scars on the image of Jews and clarifies the reason for the selection of episodes made by the painter on the basis of the Legenda aurea, with the intention to highlight the negative role of the Jews, as opposed to the positive one played by the incredulous Apostle Thomas.",
