A comparative study of Giotto's technique of painting eyes and sight, and his contemporary, Dante Alighieri's mechanisms for producing literary evidence. 

	Maurette, P. (2021). A Certain Melancholy Vanity: Sir Thomas Browne in Borges' El Aleph. Variaciones Borges 51.

Scholars who have studied the influence of Sir Thomas Browne on Borges have centered on one specific text, "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius". Here I show that "The Aleph", one of Borges's more famous stories is also marked by a tacit interaction with the English baroque writer. 

	Maurette, P. (2021). La macchia di Longhi. Lettere Italiane 73.2.

In this piece I analyze Italian art historian Roberto Longhi's style and argue that rather than commenting on works of art he competes with them, trying to achieve what they achieve by means of rhetorical devices. 

	Maurette, P. (2020). El imitador. Eadem Utraque Europa 16.21.

Focusing on the figure of Saint Francis of Assisi, I argue that the spiritual revolution he started had ground breaking effects in Western art history.
