تصویر ذهنی
Self-conscious looking at images seems to provide a mirror image of self-conscious reading from which other mental images emerge.
The image is not only one of visual art in the making but in writing of it and this suggests the interplay of mental images arising from the writing so often lauded by Mughal poetry, and the images of art.
Aretino's writing uses a remarkable series of mental images to demonstrate different levels of a heightened awareness of what he is seeing and writing, conflating his experience of the window view with the language related to painting, and he conjures these images in order to explore an advanced self-awareness of the relationship between the mental images that arise from a reading of his text and his optical ex- perience of the view of Venice.
The letter is worth reproducing in full and I have italicised key references to his visual field, to mental images and to painting which trace the contours of image conscious- ness:
It is through beauty that we recognise the divinity in material things; these ideas are easy to trace as mental images in Aretino's text.
