DESCRIPTION:
"QUATTROCENTO HUMANISM / NEOPLATONISM" according to Ms. D. Launders. CHENEY'S BOOK ;BOTTICELLI'S NEOPLATONIC IMAGES IS AN EXCELLENT SCHOLARLY BOOK WITHOUT BEING OVERLY ACADEMIC. I FOUND THAT ONCE YOU ADOPT TO CHENEY'S STYLE OF WRITING YOU BEGIN TO ENJOY THE JOURNEY THAT IS; THE QUATTROCBENTO, WITH ALL THAT COMES WITH IT. SUCH AS NEOPLATONISM, QUATTROCBENTO NEOPLATONISM, MEDICI HUMANISM AND QUATTROCBENTO HUMANISM NOT TO MENTION THE DOORS SHE OPENS INTO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF RENAISSANCE POETRY,PHLOSOPHY AND POLITICS OF THE MEDICI PERIOD IN FLORENCE.HOW MAJOR FIGURES CLOSE TO LORENZO THE MAGNIFICENT SUCH AS FICINO,ALBERTI AND POLIZIANO HELPED TO INFLUENCE THE SOCIO-POLITICAL-ARTISIC MOVEMENTS OF THE QUATTROCENTO
Among the aspects discussed are the artist's evolution, Medici patronage, Neoplatonism, and ways of interpreting mythology, allegory, and iconography in art.. 215 p.This is a revised edition of the author's 1985 study, now out of print, which has been republished in response to the great interest of its subject matter, Botticelli, and of its critical approach, a humanistic analysis of the cultural contexts of Renaissance painting. Scripta Humanistica. 1993
