This book retraces the development of classical imagery in the
visual arts of the Italian Renaissance. Luba Freedman examines
poems, letters and treatises on art, which testify to the
contemporary desire to depict classical myths in the style and
spirit of Ovid's Metamorphoses, and to re-create the artistic
patronage of the ancient Romans. This new development in art was
driven by collaboration between humanists, artists, and their
patrons. The extant artifacts of Roman antiquity, in addition to
the study of Greek and Latin texts which brought to light
descriptions of ancient paintings, were used as models for
re-creating the visual culture of antiquity. Paintings of classical
myths that were shaped all'antica, or in the manner of the
ancients, allowed humanists to link the modern Rome with its
ancient ancestry.
