Title: Animals as Disguised Symbols in Renaissance Art Author: Cohen, Simona Publisher: Brill; Publication Date: 2008 Hardcover; ISBN: 9789004171015 Volumes: 1; Pages: xi, 320 List Price in Cloth: $158.00 Our price: $133.99 (Add to Cart button is at the bottom of this page) The relationship between medieval animal symbolism and the iconography of animals in the Renaissance has scarcely been studied. Filling a gap in this significant field of Renaissance culture, in general, and its art, in particular, this book demonstrates the continuity and tenacity of medieval animal interpretations and symbolism, disguised under the veil of genre, religious or mythological narrative and scientific naturalism. An extensive introduction, dealing with relevant medieval and early Renaissance sources, is followed by a series of case studies that illustrate ways in which Renaissance artists revived conventional animal imagery in unprecedented contexts, investing them with new meanings, on a social, political, ethical, religious or psychological level, often by applying exegetical methodology in creating multiple semantic and iconographic levels. |
