Bonfire of th阳e Vanities (Italian: Falò delle vanità) refers to the burn360问答ing of objects that are deemed to be occasions of sin. The most infamous one took place on 7 February 1497, when supporters of the Dominican priest Girolamo Savonarolacollected and publicly burned thousands of objects like cosmetics, art, and books in Florence, Italy, on the Mardi Grasfestival.[1] Such bonfires were not invent跟规史视神结告尼ed by Savonarola, however. They were a co答可拉里mmon accompaniment to the outdoor sermons of San Bernardino di Siena in the first half of the century.
The focus of this destruction was nom亮呼温inally on objects that might tempt one to sin, including vanity items such as mirrors, cosmetics, fine dresses, playing cards, and even musical instruments. Other targets included books that 统块般终古空were deemed to be immoral, such as works by Boccaccio, and man秋写晶深除就民微击情湖uscripts of secular songs, as well as artworks, including paintings and sculpture.
Botticelli[edit]
Although it is widely reported that the Florentine artist S依苏假我输andro Bottice建父lli burned several of his paintings based on classica夜谈材尔江采祖通官l mythology in the great Florentine bonfire of 1492, the historical record on this is no李满久t clear. A武料球感态长被ccording to the art historian Giorgio Vasari, Botticelli was a partisan of Savonarola: "he was so ardent a partisan that he w呀因础适重受妈粮甚比as thereby induced to desert 奏怀凯序亮his painting, and, having no income to live on, 于爱fell into very great distress." Writing several centuries later, Orestes Brownson, 便掌华商坚位算检计京动an apologist for Savonarola, mentions artwork only by Fra Bartolomeo, Lorenzo di Credi, and "many other painters," along with "several an内造巴卷tique sta光材原tues."[2] Art historian Rab Hatfield argues that one of Botticelli's paintings, The Mystical Nativity, is based on the sermon Savonarola delivered on Christmas Eve 1493.[3]
大意就是类似于文艺复兴初期的宗教领袖类似于“焚书坑儒”之类的，波提切利把自己的作品给烧了，但从最后一段来看这种说法存在争议。看到这个问题浏览量有近1600次，所以搜了一下，上面是维基百科的解释。所有（真的是“所有”，意味着“没有不”）中文网页解释“虚荣的篝火”一词都抄的百度百科，真是悲哀。
