Did the Florentine philosopher Marsilio Ficino (1433-99) influence
the art of his time? Art historians have been fiercely debating
this question for decades. This book starts with Ficino's views on
the imagination as a faculty of the soul, and shows how these ideas
were part of a long philosophical tradition and inspired fresh
insights. This approach, combined with little known historical
material, offers a new understanding of whether, how and why
Ficino's Platonic conceptions of the imagination may have been
received in the art of the Italian Renaissance. The discussion
explores Ficino's possible influence on the work of Botticelli and
Michelangelo, and examines the appropriation of Ficino's ideas by
early modern art theorists.
