Leonardo was to depict a historic battle between Florence and Milan, Michelangelo one between Florence and Pisa. Though neither project was ever completed, the painters' mythic encounter shaped art and its history in the decades and centuries that followed. This concise, lucid, and thought-provoking book looks again at the one moment when Leonardo and Michelangelo worked side by side, seeking to identify the roots of their differing ideas of the figure in 15th-century pictorial practices and to understand what this contrast meant to the artists and writers who followed them. At the center of the book is the preoccupation of both artists with ideas of painted 'force.' Michael W. Cole, an expert in Renaissance art history, traces the diverging conceptions of painted force that Leonardo and Michelangelo held. For Leonardo, figural force translated principles from the medieval science of weights and measures and modern engineering; in Michelangelo's case, the impression of force came with the isolation of the individual figure from a surrounding narrative. Through close investigation of the two artists' work, Cole provides a new account of critical developments in Italian Renaissance painting."--Book jacket. 650 0 $a Figure painting $z Italy. 650 0 $a Painting, Renaissance $z Italy $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Human beings in art. 600 00 $a Leonardo, $c da Vinci, $d 1452-1519. $t Battle of Anghiari. 600 00 $a Leonardo, $c da Vinci, $d 1452-1519 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 00 $a Michelangelo Buonarroti, $d 1475-1564. $t Battle of Cascina. 600 00 $a Michelangelo Buonarroti, $d 1475-1564 $x Criticism and interpretation. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210015326.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20160506011211.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20150609013222.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0708ED780E6D11E5BFCEA8CCDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
