Moving from art and thought in antiquity to the Italian Renaissance, she examines the understandings of ornament arising from the Platonic, Aristotelian and Sophistic traditions, and the tensions which emerged from these varied meanings. The book views the Renaissance as a decisive point in the story of ornament, when its subsequent identification with style and historicism are established. It asserts ornament as a fundamental, not an accessory element in art and presents its restoration to theoretical dignity as essential to historical scholarship and aesthetic reflection.Brill's studies in intellectual history ;Volume 245.Brill's studies in intellectual history.Brill's studies on art, art history, and intellectual history ;Volume 10.Decoration and ornamentPhilosophyDecoration and ornament, RenaissanceItalyElectronic books.Decoration and ornamentPhilosophy.Decoration and ornament, Renaissance747.094509024Guest Clare Lapraik1052826MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910493692803321The understanding of ornament in the Italian Renaissance2484309UNINA
