The central point of reference in these sources was Giotto, the early fourteenth-century painter who, as one writer put it in 1442, "first modernized (modernizavit) ancient and mosaic figures." The word "modern" was used in a wide variety of ways throughout this period, some quite polemical, others rather prosaic. To call art (ars) modern, however, was to invoke a stable, well-defined concept whose roots ran deep in late-medieval intellectual life. According to this concept, to make an art modern was to set it on a new foundation in science (scientia) and rationalize it accordingly. As familiar as this formulation may sound in principle, each and every one of its key terms--art, modernity, science, rationality--meant something strikingly different in this period than it does in our time. The hallmark of modern art was not verisimilitude or expression or virtually any of the achievements that art historians associate with Giotto today, but rather the invention of techniques that aimed to imitate nature in its very manner of operation, aligning the concrete, step-by-step process of painting with the inner workings of nature itself. By reclaiming this concept and tracking its complex relation to early Renaissance concerns such as linear perspective and the canon of proportion, the book not only establishes a novel framework for the visual analysis of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Italian painting, but also unravels a fundamental master narrative of Western art history from within, clearing the way for renewed discussions of alternative modernities, including those that precede the story of modernism as we know it. --Publisher's website. 650 0 $a Painting, Italian $y 14th century. 650 0 $a Painting, Italian $y 15th century. 650 0 $a Painting, Renaissance $z Italy. 650 0 $a Painting, Renaissance $z Italy $x Sources. 600 00 $a Giotto, $d 1266?-1337 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Cennini, Cennino, $d active 15th century. 600 10 $a Sacchetti, Franco, $d approximately 1330-approximately 1400. 600 10 $a Savonarola, Michele, $d 1385?-1466. 600 10 $a Alberti, Leon Battista, $d 1404-1472. 600 17 $a Alberti, Leon Battista, $d 1404-1472. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00030004 600 17 $a Cennini, Cennino, $d active 15th century. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01811935 600 07 $a Giotto, $d 1266?-1337. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00074999 600 17 $a Sacchetti, Franco, $d approximately 1330-approximately 1400. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01845253 600 17 $a Savonarola, Michele, $d 1385?-1466? $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00131302 650 7 $a Painting, Italian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050910 650 7 $a Painting, Renaissance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051051 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 648 7 $a 1300-1499 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Sources. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423900 830 0 $a Renovatio artium. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317032322.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=93A5E290403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
