Meticulous visual analysis is paired with close readings of medieval texts in examining a series of important relief sculptures from northern and central Italy dating from the twelfth through the fourteenth centuries, including the impressive sculptural programs at the cathedrals of Modena and Ferrara, and the pulpits by Giovanni and Nicola Pisano at Pisa and Pistoia. Demonstrating that medieval sculptors orchestrated the reception of their intended religious and political messages through the careful manipulation of points of view and architectural space, Christopher R. Lakey argues that medieval practice was well informed by visual theory and that the concepts that led to the codification of linear perspective by Renaissance painters had in fact been in use by sculptors for hundreds of years. 650 0 $a Relief (Sculpture), Italian $z Italy $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Relief (Sculpture), Medieval $z Italy. 650 0 $a Optics and art $z Italy. 650 0 $a Visual perception in art. 650 0 $a Perspective. 650 0 $a Geometry in art. 650 7 $a Geometry in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940896 650 7 $a Optics and art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01046868 650 7 $a Perspective. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01058877 650 7 $a Relief (Sculpture), Italian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093718 650 7 $a Relief (Sculpture), Medieval. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093724 650 7 $a Visual perception in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01905084 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213012735.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806075317.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=85E09236462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
