9780814709955: Light and Color in the Italian Renaissance Theory of Art

Synopsis

Light and colour played an important part in Renaissance art and in the science and symbolism of the period. The theory of art - a type of literature characteristic of the Renaissance - establishes connections between specific problems of artistic creation and the trends and developments in general culture. In studying the views on light and colour in the theory of art, Professor Barasch thus reveals the interaction of art and broader Renaissance culture.
