Although studies of specific time concepts, expressed in
Renaissance philosophy and literature, have not been lacking, few
art-historians have endeavored to meet the challenge in the visual
arts. This book presents a multifaceted picture of the dynamic
concepts of time and temporality in medieval and Renaissance art,
adopted in speculative, ecclesiastical, socio-political,
propagandist, moralistic, and poetic contexts. It has been assumed
that time was conceived in a different way by those living in the
Renaissance as compared to their medieval predecessors. Changing
perceptions of time, an increasingly secular approach, the sense of
self-determination rooted in the practical use and control of time,
and the perception of time as a threat to human existence and
achievements are demonstrated through artistic media. Chapters
dealing with time in classical and medieval philosophy and art are
followed by studies that focus on innovative aspects of Renaissance
iconography.
