Unearthing the Past Zusammenfassung

Unearthing the Past: Archaeology and Aesthetics in the Making of Renaissance Culture Leonard Barkan

In this rich and engaging book, Leonard Barkan tells the full cultural story of the emergence into daylight of the artworks of antiquity that had lain beneath Roman ground for more than a thousand years. As discovery and rebirth became literal daily narratives in the fifteenth century, Barkan shows, Renaissance conceptions of art, art history, aesthetics, and historiography were transformed.

Unearthing the Past Bewertungen

This book is a teasing exploration of... epistemological mysteries in the history of art. It describes the elusiveness of imitation as a goal, the creative force of dialogue with uncertainty and the way truth in art grows cheekily out of historical falsehoods. Garry Wills, New York Times Throughout this remarkable book, Barkan demonstrates an eye that is as refined and penetrating as his writing. It is a book for all art historians, scholars of the Renaissance, and readers generally concerned with history and artistic production. John Hollander, Yale University In this book the idea of the Renaissance is itself reborn. Stephen Greenblatt, Harvard University
