Natsumi Nonaka

Renaissance Porticoes and Painted Pergolas

Nature and Culture in Early Modern Italy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the intersection between architecture, pictorial representation, garden culture, and natural history and proposes the interpretation that the illusionistic pergola was a metaphor for the Renaissance mind as it negotiated a new cognitive topography between an internal rationalism, classical verities, and global expansion.
