Abstract:
Thanks to eye-tracking technology, we observed and measured the eye behavior of two samples of volunteers interacting with two Caravaggio’s paintings in different contexts of use, in order to test the artist’s ability to guide the reader through a visual pathway. According to our preliminary results, the context strongly influences the fruition pathway designed by the author. It’s the first time that art perception is investigated in an ecological environment.
