The mid-twentieth century saw a change in paradigms of art history:
iconology. The main claim of this novel trend in art history was
that renowned Renaissance artists (such as Botticelli, Leonardo, or
Michelangelo) created imaginative syntheses between their art and
contemporary cosmology, philosophy, theology, and magic. The
Neoplatonism in the books by Marsilio Ficino and Giovanni Pico
della Mirandola became widely acknowledged for its lasting
influence on art. It thus became common knowledge that Renaissance
artists were not exclusively concerned with problems intrinsic to
their work but that their artifacts encompassed a much larger
intellectual and cultural horizon. This volume brings together
historians concerned with the history of their own discipline - and
also those whose research is on the art and culture of the Italian
Renaissance itself - with historians from a wide variety of
specialist fields, in order to engage with the contested field of
iconology. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art
history, Renaissance history, Renaissance studies, historiography,
philosophy, theology, gender studies, and literature.
