Item description from seller

pp. 111-134. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author R. Kilpatrick to W. Haase. - 1st page a bit stained, else clean. - From the text: In 1981 Peter Meller referred to the many contradictory interpretations of Giorgiones painting The Three Philosophers (figure 1) , as a vicious circle. Only three years previously, Salvatore Settis had surveyed the critical history of the painting in La Tempesta Interpreta-ta (1978), to reargue the case made two centuries earlier in 1783 that its three figures portrayed there were the Three Magi. Meller reexamined its iconography from the clues offered by Marcantonio Michiel in his celebrated note of 1525 written after seeing it in the house of Taddeo Contarini in Venice: namely, three philosophers . marvelously imitated rock . rays of the sun . landscape, and concluded that we are looking at Plato as metaphysician standing with two pupils before his own metaphorical cave. If the images of bare and leafed trees, ivy and fig, dark and light, represent original sin and resurrection, then we might have un típico paesaggio moralizzato in which the Platonic parable prefigures Christianity.
