Produktbeschreibung
Art, Theory and Culture in Sixteenth-Century Italy was originally published in 1998, and offers a critical overview of the literature on the visual arts produced during the High and Late Renaissance. Analysing and interpreting texts by such writers as Vasari, Lomazzo, Zuccaro, and Tasso, Robert Williams demonstrates how these works offer insight into the experience of contemporary viewers, thus permitting a clearer view of the relationship between abstract thought and lived experience. Also examined is the argument that art is a privileged form of knowledge that subordinates all others. By focusing on a hitherto neglected, but important, body of literature, Williams shows how an understanding of it can transform our knowledge and appreciation of the Renaissance.
Autorenporträt
As a Christian educator caught up in pornography and gay interests, I assumed there was no way out; arrested and cast aside by my church family and those close to me. Then, at my lowest, the Lord rescued me and commissioned me to share my testimony with others who have been rejected and forsaken. He said to tell them of His love. A retired civil servant, I reside in upstate New York; my passions-reading, writing, bicycling, and being a servant sharing my story to reach others who have lost their way. The Lord made it clear to Write the vision and make it plain. You will begin snatching people out of the clay, the muck, and the mire by embracing those erroneous lifestyles. I have expanded your consciousness; therefore, share what you have learned. They will listen to you when they don't listen to others. You will speak to millions. Make certain you give them the unadulterated Biblical word.-This text refers to the paperback edition.
