A library as a show piece?: Art patrons, a Florentine cortigiana onestà, and an in-house library study in “Arte”

Back in November 2024, I wrote about the anime adaptation of Arte, which is set in Renaissance-era Italy, noting the library scenes in four episodes, noting how in the episode “Courtesan”,  the protagonist, Arte, goes with her master, Leonardo, to the house of Veronica, a courtesan, and they visit her study. While there, she marvels at how impressive the library is, with Veronica saying she needs to entertain her gentleman callers with education, and she offers to let Arte borrow books from her collection, with the latter saying that while standing in her library she can’t view her with anything but respect, saying her respect is for how hard she works, not her profession. It is in this same place that Veronica counsels Arte on her love for her master, Leo, and where Arte realizes that while she will listen to Veronica, she can’t forgive how she treats her clients, as she learns what it truly means to be a prostitute.

In that same post, I also noted the brief library scene in the next episode (the fifth in the series), entitled “Inseparable Bond”, in which Arte goes to the library/study to get Veronica’s advice on speaking to a difficult client, and in the beginning of the eighth episode, entitled “A New Chapter”. In that episode, Arte and Veronica again talk in her study/library, with Veronica saying she couldn’t imagine Florence without Arte, and bidding her farewell as she prepares for her Venice trip. It is implied then that Darcia talks to Veronica afterward about reading (Arte teaches her to read), but not directly shown. In the final episode of the anime adaptation, entitled “Apprentice”, Leo visits Veronica in her study/library, and they talk about the art commission she is offering him, and she is willing to pay him more to make a good artwork (and to buy expensive materials), and she jokes that Arte “she prefers Venice over Florence,” something which likely gets to him, without a doubt. The manga is a bit different.

Veronica is introduced in the fourth chapter, but Arte and Leo do not meet her until the fifth chapter, when she is, again, called a cortigiana. At the time, cortigiana, meaning courtesan, some called them palace ladies, or donna di palazzo. Veronica would undoubtedly be a cortigiana onestà, which one scholar called “the high-­‐class figure of female influence who achieved an unparalleled level of emancipation in the profoundly patriarchal world of Renaissance Italy.” [1] In the fifth chapter, she is described as renting a house with the money she makes as a courtsean (what we would now call a sex worker) and like in the episode “Courtesan” I mentioned earlier, Arte is impressed, and after Veronica declares she has read every book there, Arte is even more in awe. And she even gets to borrow books from the study, with Arte saying she respects Veronica’s hard work.

It is thanks to that fascination she gets her first commission, just as she does in the anime. She admires how intellectual Veronica is and is undoubtedly appreciative when she tells her that the feelings she has for Leo are romantic. Again, this generally follows the anime, including when she sees the terrible conditions that lower-class courtesans work within, and what love can do to someone, a narrative which continues into chapter six. Veronica is the one that tells her she doesn’t “have time” for love. The library itself continues to be shown as somewhere where Veronica shines, above anything else, giving her an allure of someone learned. All the while she treats her clients in a way that Arte (and most) find disreputable. This continues in chapter seven, when she dreads having to give Veronica the painting. An interesting scene, not in the anime, is when Leo comes to meet with Veronica, who says she will pay for the portrait in time, not “like one of those cheap prostitutes.”

The scene goes so far that Leo says that Arte keeps “acting strange,” then she won’t be working at his workshop anymore, leading Veronica to advocate for Arte, saying it would be cruel to fire her, and saying she has taken a liking to Arte. This creates an interesting comparison between Arte, an apprentice barely earning anything, to Veronica, which he finds curious. Later on, Arte realizes she has to set things right, and realizes that Veronica hides “her struggles below her smiles.” She ends up giving her the painting, saying that while she can’t condone how Veronica treats her clients, she is doing it to have an independent life, and works hard in many ways. It is also revealed she is providing for the rest of her family as well!

Even so, Veronica acknowledges the job is “sinful” but she will continue to keep her smile until she dies. Even after all of this, she still wants to advise Arte on anything troubling her, as a friend, and Arte accepts this, as she knows it is important to have someone like her as a friend. In an interesting article I found, one scholar wrote that “during the Italian Renaissance, mythology and art contributed to the increasing popularity of the cortigiana, or courtesan.” That actually does fit with the series, with Veronica as an art patron! The latter is mentioned by Arte to Angelo in the next chapter. In the process of that discussion and others, she breaks through Angelo’s paternalistic attitude that girls need to be protected by men.

Some chapters later, Arte meets Veronica again in the library (at the end of chapter 10), [2] which continues in the next chapter, when she helps Arte negotiate with Ubertino. She reveals that he worked in the wool trade. What she tells Arte allows her to hold her own, teaching her everything from the beginning step by step, including proper posture, speech, and listening skills. She uses to this to appeal to him, especially using her lace art drawings, to pull him in. Veronica’s role in what some, historically, would call an “honored courtesan,” continues to be a major plot point in the story. In fact, Arte visits Veronica again in the beginning of the sixteenth chapter, when she gets a painting from Arte which she wants to keep herself, rather than giving it as a gift to someone. All the while, Veronica says she is expecting things from her, and she feels embarrassed to talk to her, like she is doing something “forbidden.”

It is her running into a Venetian noble afterward and his talking to Veronica, again in the study/library, is what leads Arte to her job in Venice. This is almost exactly what is portrayed in the anime. The same can be said of the eighteenth chapter, when Arte goes to Veronica again, this time asking about a dispute involving the daughter of Leo’s art master (Lusanna), in which she says that disputes over money involving widows is common. She is the one which gives the idea to Arte to approach a person with status and power: the Venetian noble (Mr. Yuri Falier) who wants her to travel to Venice to tutor his cousin, for a six-month period. Even Veronica is surprised that Arte is going so suddenly to Venice in the next chapter, saying it will be a “little lonely” in Florence without her. Again, it is implied that Dacia will go visit Veronica to get books to continue her study of reading and writing.

Unlike in the anime, at the end of the nineteenth chapter, Dacia does visit Veronica, and is very nervous, saying she is only there because she is Arte’s friend. Veronica convinces her to sit and chat down for a bit, but no more is shown, because the story moves onto the next chapter. Nor does it appear in any other chapter, sadly. In fact, there aren’t any library scenes going forward as the story moves to the Venetian arc and there aren’t any scenes in Florence!

In writing this post, I am reminded what Italian history scholar Margaret F. Rosenthal wrote back in November 2018 for Renaissance Quarterly, examining how one cortigiana onestà, also known an “intellectual courtsean,” named Veronica Franco, was restricted in her professional activities, or whether socal forces compelled or contained her “cultivation of a literary identity” in Venetian society, and the maneuvers she adopted when she “obtained entrance into an elite literary circle.” [3] Similarly, another webpage I found comes to mind: cortigiana, like Veronica, enjoyed a “glamorous lifestyle augmented by an education that enabled intellectual interactions in a secular rather than a religious domain.” This was even reflected in paintings like the strongly erotic “Portrait of a Woman known as The Courtesan” by Jacopo Palma il Vecchio in about 1520. [4]

Ultimately, whether the library is a showpiece for Veronica or not, it is also a symbol of how she is a thinking person, an intellectual in her own right. The study/library is a place she can be here own, a place she can be dominant, more than anyone else.

Notes

[1] There’s even a Wikipedia page entitled “List of Italian Renaissance courtesans.”

[2] The aftermath of chapter 10, a feature describes her as “busty.”

[3] This article comes as no surprise considering that she wrote a book in 1992 entitled The Honest Courtesan about Veronica Franco, a courtesan in 16th-century Venice.

«Not Your Rescue Project: Migrant sex workers fighting for justice»

👤 Chanelle Gallant 👤 Elene Lam
🗓 2024-11-12
📔 Haymarket Books 🛒 https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2258-not-your-rescue-project
🌐 Website: https://www.notyourrescueprojectbook.com

> A landmark abolitionist primer on migration, sex work, policing, and the “anti-trafficking industry”—and a powerful argument about who is really leading the way toward justice: migrant sex workers themselves.

> In this impassioned corrective to decades of misguided, carceral approaches to migration and sex work, long-time organizers Chanelle Gallant and Elene Lam deftly expose the harms of criminalization in the name of “anti-trafficking” and lift up migrant sex workers’ organizing in the US, Canada, and elsewhere. In doing so, they make the compelling case that the only effective response to the needs of migrant sex workers must be led by migrants in the sex trade, as they fight for rights, safety, and autonomy.

> Gallant and Lam illustrate how this movement is taking aim at the root causes of violence and abuse: the white supremacist securitization of borders, the criminalization of both migration and sex work, the patriarchial devaluation of women’s labor, and forced displacement due to climate disaster, war, and poverty—all fueled by racial capitalism.

> An indispensable exploration of the relationship between migration and sex work—and the underlying societal conditions they reflect—Not Your Rescue Project is a thorough indictment of the anti-trafficking industry as an engine of criminalization and state violence, and an instructive account of the emancipatory politics already being practiced by migrant sex workers in their organizing. Throughout, Gallant and Lam place migrant sex workers at the center of struggles against border imperialism, carceral states, and capitalism—dispelling a range of poisonous myths and paving the way for deeper alliances across movements with the shared goal of dismantling and abolishing carceralism in all its forms.

> «ACCESS TO JUSTICE»

> This is the theme of the INTERNATIONAL SEX WORKERS' DAY 2026.

> TAMPEP calls for an immediate end of the stigmatization of sex workers! Together with sex workers across Europe, we ask for equal rights.

> The working and living conditions of sex workers in Europe, mainly migrant sex workers, remain characterized by precarious circumstances. Discrimination, stigmatization and the increasing call for restrictive laws, particularly at EU level, are further exacerbating the situation.

> Sex workers’ communities, worldwide, therefore commemorate that day to call attention and make demands.

— #TAMPEP 🇪🇺 #Europe

-

> Every June 2nd we celebrate one of the most important days in the year: International Sex Workers' Day!

> This day marks the anniversary of the legendary occupation of the St Nizier church in Lyon, France, by a group of sex workers. They claimed the church for eight days to demand safety, dignity, and labour rights. Their bravery ignited a global movement that continues to inspire us every year.

— #SWAN 🇪🇺 #CEECA

-

> International Sex Workers' Rights Day. Sex work is work.

> We demand the full recognition, protection, and fulfilment of sex workers' labour, health, and human rights in law and policy.

> Nothing about sex workers without sex workers. Sex workers are organisers, leaders, and agents of change. Their voices must be at the centre of all decisions that affect their lives.

> We reject all forms of criminalisation of sex work. We reject the ongoing conflation of sex work with trafficking and gender-based violence, narratives that fuel stigma, increase harm, and strip people of rights and safety. Sex workers' rights are human rights!

> Today, we amplify the voices of TGEU Board Members Tayri Fadil (she/her) and Alex Shah (she/her).

> “Today we honour SWers leading the struggle. We demand full decriminalisation, labour rights, and legal protection for migrant and trans SWers. End police harassment and persecution. Solidarity, resistance, and collective power until we win justice and safety for all SWers.” — Tayri Fadil

> “On this day, we amplify the political demands of sex workers for full decriminalisation, labour recognition, social protection, migration justice, and freedom from state violence, surveillance, and stigma. This day is a transnational call for bodily autonomy, intersectional justice, and the unequivocal protection of sex workers’ human rights. Sex workers are the ancient, present, and future of labour.” — Alex Shah

«Transactional Intercourse»

👤 Editor: Jack Parker
🗓️ April 27th 2026
🆔 ISBN: 978-17-38495-56-6

🛒 PDF: https://www.jackviolet.store/product/transactional-intercourse-pdf
🛒 EBook (?): https://jackparker.gumroad.com/l/transactionalinter

> Transactional Intercourse is an anthology of trans and intersex sex workers' writing, serving as a snapshot of our experiences in our own words. It includes essays and personal narratives from 30 sex workers who either sell sex directly to clients or make porn, across the sex and gender spectrum.

> I'm tired of looking for stories from trans and intersex sex workers and finding far more instances of people speaking over us than instances where we get to speak for ourselves. I'm angry that when I do find documentaries or writing where we are featured and get the chance to express our thoughts, those involved have frequently gone unpaid and been treated poorly in the process of sharing. I'm devastated that we're so often gawked at or framed as dangerous deviants by people who gain money and notoriety from broadcasting the details of our trauma and ridiculing our joy. We deserve better, and I hope the anthology Transactional Intercourse can be a part of that!

✨ It's here! 🔥

Well, it's been for four days, but today is the book recommendation one. 😅
Nevermind tho, let's get to the point: this absolute jewel of a book. 💎

The work is about as self-describing as it can get: a compilation of life stories and reflections of trans and intersex people in the sex trade. ❣️

All three represent collectives that tend to remain on the sidelines and even actively silenced — never mind their intersection…

This book puts the focus right where it belongs: on the people living at these intersections, on their own voices.

It includes both the good, the bad and the ugly — because even among a relatively limited population, sex work experiences are all over the place, and none actually deserves being left out.

Of course, due to practical limitations, there are certainly going to be some that couldn't make it in —no matter how comprehensive it were, there'd always be— but nevertheless, one thing is certain:
You'll hardly find a comparable collection anywhere. 💞

"Damning New Report Shows How Oakland Cops Covered Up Their Sexual Exploitation of a Minor

Making matters worse, the report concludes, was 'the tone at the top.'

While Kamala Harris was bringing trumped-up child-exploitation charges against a classifieds website, a cadre of California cops was actually paying, pimping, and passing around an underage girl for sex and getting away with it. A damning new report explains the extent that the Oakland Police Department (OPD) was involved with the girl, who goes by the pseudonym Celeste Guap, and also details OPD leadership's myriad attempts to make the scandal disappear."

Sex workers in a #brothel in France, circa 1910.

"Sex work is not the oldest profession in the world; anthropologists have found no evidence of selling sex within numerous (so called) primitive societies. The northern hill tribes of Thailand had no word for prostitution, and Victorian explorers were surprised to discover that the Dyak people of Borneo had ‘no word to express that vice’, and when Christian missionary, Lorrin Andrews, translated the bible into Hawaiian in 1865, he had to invent new words to teach the islanders about the concept of sexual shame, and infidelity. But, wherever you find money, you also find sex work."

Hi! I'm Danny! Your friendly neighborhood freaky boy.
@admindan is my admin alter ego, but this account is for my regular self.
I dream of a world where the sluts, sex workers, kinksters, fetishists, roleplayers, cosplayers, horror fans, dead dovers, genderfuckers, rebels, artists, smut peddlers, and various other creatures of the night always have a place to socialize and share and discuss their thoughts, feelings, lifestyle, work, art, etc freely.
Advertise, collaborate, celebrate, joke, shitpost, vent, make friends, fuck it! make enemies, do whatever you want, the point is that you'll be allowed to speak about it openly.
Personally, I'm a kinkster, fetishist, online sex worker, and practicing slut, among other things. My interests will become very clear in no time at all haha
Full name is Danny Redwoods. Maybe best known as roachcreature on twitter, but also known elsewhere as Danny the Cryptid, roachcryptid, or even Elliott Peeps but that's a deep cut haha
Talk to me abt kink, Cyberpunk 2077, Metronomy, horror, comedy, or Kate Bush! Or other stuff, that's cool too haha
