A recepção de valores clássicos nas obras de Leon Battista Alberti, Sandro Botticelli e Leonardo da Vinci.

Abstract

This work proposes to discuss the presence of a classical past in the works of painters renaissance artists Leon Battista Alberti, Leonardo Da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli and artistic operations articulated by painters according to their addressees in the 15th century. The research led us for two paths of analysis that allowed us to mobilize aspects of Renaissance culture and the works of art cut out here: on the one hand, we observe how the classic themes were read and represented in a later context; on the other hand, we discuss Botticelli's and Da Vinci's views of the world as result of the relationship they maintained with representations of classical authors and artists who were strongly received at that time. We problematize the female presence, adorned with elements classics in the works of these painters, as having, to a great extent, contributed to represent the Modern feminine in consonance with the representations constructed by the classics. the chapter first traverses the theoretical paths of Renaissance painting, starting from the conceptions of painters and painting theorists Leon Battista Alberti and Leonardo Da Vinci. In the second chapter, we embark on the artistic universe of Sandro Botticelli, trying to understand his artistic vision and its relationship with the Ancients. Finally, in the third we analyze some virgins painted by Leonardo da Vinci, questioning the harmony between classical and Christian themes.
