Arte, Ciência e Filosofia na Renascença Italiana. Em torno das teorias da arte de Leon Battista Alberti e de Leonardo da Vinci
2014
Overview
This paper aims at discussing the relations between art, science and philosophy in the context of the Italian Renaissance. By analysing the writings of Leon Battista Alberti (De Pictura and De Re Aedificatoria) and Leonardo da Vinci (Trattato della Pittura), we attempt to examine and evaluate the proclaimed scientific status of the arti del disegno. Accordingly we consider and analyse several notions and conceptions that could be understood as the theoretical basis of the sustained scientific dignity of the visual arts: the notion of rational/mathematical beauty (the concinnitas – Alberti); the rule of proportion as metaphysical and practical/artistic principle; the perspective as the scientific basis of the pictorial practice; the observation of nature as an artistic exigency (painting as natural philosophy – Leonardo da Vinci).
