Book Description
Leonardo da Vinci's arguments for the supremacy of painting over the arts of poetry, music, and sculpture address issues that have been relevant to debates over the nature of representation since the time Plato discussed imitation until today, maintains Claire Farago in this wide-ranging critical analysis of the first important modern contribution to the comparison of the arts. This study systematically examines 46 passages compiled in the mid-sixteenth century from eighteen of Leonardo's notebooks and their relationship to the artist's holograph writings on painting, providing a critical transcription newly made from the Codex Vaticanus Urbinas 1270 and a new English translation with extensive notes that take into account Leonardo's scientific terminology, the highly contrived form of his rhetorical argumentation, and the role played by his original editors.

Paragone
Author: Frank Zöllner
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783731910176
Category :
Languages : de
Pages : 173
Book Description
This volume brings together the papers delivered at the international conference Paragone. Leonardo in Context, held in July 2019 at the University of Leipzig, as well as an additional essay by Martin Kemp on Leonardo's sfumato. For this publication, the original conference title was slightly modified to Paragone. Leonardo in Comparison, in order to do justice to the comparative character of the studies it presents and the importance of comparison as a methodological paradigm. A discussion of this is found in the introduction, which at the same time seeks, by way of example, to apply the comparative paradigm to currently the most contentious issue in Leonardo scholarship: the artist's design for a Christ as Salvator Mundi.

Math and the Mona Lisa
Author: Bulent Atalay
Publisher: Smithsonian Institution
ISBN: 1588343537
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Leonardo da Vinci was one of history's true geniuses, equally brilliant as an artist, scientist, and mathematician. Readers of The Da Vinci Code were given a glimpse of the mysterious connections between math, science, and Leonardo's art. Math and the Mona Lisa picks up where The Da Vinci Code left off, illuminating Leonardo's life and work to uncover connections that, until now, have been known only to scholars. Bülent Atalay, a distinguished scientist and artist, examines the science and mathematics that underlie Leonardo's work, paying special attention to the proportions, patterns, shapes, and symmetries that scientists and mathematicians have also identified in nature. Following Leonardo's own unique model, Atalay searches for the internal dynamics of art and science, revealing to us the deep unity of the two cultures. He provides a broad overview of the development of science from the dawn of civilization to today's quantum mechanics. From this base of information, Atalay offers a fascinating view into Leonardo's restless intellect and modus operandi, allowing us to see the source of his ideas and to appreciate his art from a new perspective.
