商品簡介
The Italian Renaissance witnessed a significant change in the esteem afforded to the artist, with a Michelangelo serving as a principal example of artists who were said to be geniuses or even "divine." Noting that the designation of "divine" says more about the artist's relationship to patrons than to the natural world, Emison (art history, U. of New Hampshire) examines the role of reputation and praise of artists during the Renaissance "within the overall economy of compliment." The invocation and characterization of artistic ingegno was used to advance varying agendas; for example, Renaissance humanists advanced a non-divine ingegno as a method of placing the artist above the work.
