How are processes of vision, perception, and sensation conceived in
the Renaissance? How are those conceptions made manifest in the
arts? The essays in this volume address these and similar questions
to establish important theoretical and philosophical bases for
artistic production in the Renaissance and beyond. The essays also
attend to the views of historically significant writers from the
ancient classical period to the eighteenth century, including
Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, St Augustine, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Ibn
al-Haytham (Alhazen), Ibn Sahl, Marsilio Ficino, Nicholas of Cusa,
Leon Battista Alberti, Gian Paolo Lomazzo, Gregorio Comanini, John
Davies, Rene Descartes, Samuel van Hoogstraten, and George
Berkeley. Contributors carefully scrutinize and illustrate the
effect of changing and evolving ideas of intellectual and physical
vision on artistic practice in Florence, Rome, Venice, England,
Austria, and the Netherlands. The artists whose work and practices
are discussed include Fra Angelico, Donatello, Leonardo da Vinci,
Filippino Lippi, Giovanni Bellini, Raphael, Parmigianino, Titian,
Bronzino, Johannes Gumpp and Rembrandt van Rijn. Taken together,
the essays provide the reader with a fresh perspective on the
intellectual confluence between art, science, philosophy, and
literature across Renaissance Europe.
