A bold revision of the history of European art, told through the
lens of neuroscience Ambitious and much anticipated, this book
celebrates the value of recent neuroscientific discoveries as tools
for art-historical analysis. Case studies ranging across the whole
history of European art demonstrate the relationships between forms
of visual expression and the objects of visual attention, emotional
connection, and intellectual interest in daily life, thus
illuminating the previously hidden meanings of many artistic styles
and conventions. Art historians have until now concentrated on the
conscious intentions of artists and patrons, but neuroscience
provides insights into the role of non-conscious mental processes
in the production and consumption of works of art. As John Onians
powerfully argues, these insights have the potential to
revolutionize cultural history. For the first time, an authority
renowned for a more traditional approach has applied new
neuroscientific knowledge to a wide range of art-historical
problems, both familiar and fresh. The result is a provocative,
original, and persuasive case for neuroscience as an aid to
research in the humanities.
