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.
