The debate on the relationships between images and “things” was particularly intense in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, and surfaced in the works of many of the foremost writers of the age. This essay investigates its significance and implications in the culture of the English Renaissance by taking as its focal point a reading of The Winter’s Tale centred on the final metamorphosis of Hermione’s statue.
