Abstract
This article explores the relationship between certain artistic works of sixteenth-century Italy and their politico-economic context. Particular attention is paid to the paintings of Dosso Dossi and the comedies of Angelo Beolco (Il Ruzante), with some observations about works of Titian, Giorgione and Antonio Lombardo. The occurrence in them of allusions to the Holy Roman Empire and its relations with Venice and the Este are explored, as well as the impact of changing power relations on individuals. It is proposed that Dossi's Bambocciata is a group portrait of entertainers at the Este court including Beolco and Ariosto.
