Polykleitos: A Canon Of Beauty And Perfection, Amy Schuman May 2013

Polykleitos: A Canon Of Beauty And Perfection, Amy Schuman

Student Scholarship

When one uses the term ‘antiquity’ they usually think of ancient Rome and ancient Greece. This usually comes to mind since they are the most referenced ancient cultures from history. The ancient Greeks are thought of as great innovators in all academic fields, making advances far beyond their own time. Ancient Romans, although, were a great influence but they borrowed from the Greeks. The surviving knowledge of the ancient Greeks is attributed to the Romans, for without their faithful copying and studies of prized Grecian sculpture most would have been lost to time. Most Greek ‘originals’ were lost but Roman …

Unraveling The Theory Of Platonic Love In Botticelli, Sara Buckley May 2013

Unraveling The Theory Of Platonic Love In Botticelli, Sara Buckley

Student Scholarship

The emergence of Neoplatonism in the Quattrocento saw new genres of art reemerge that had disappeared with the fall of the Roman Empire. Sandro Botticelli would be influenced by these appeals to the realm of the Forms as set forth by Plato and reinterpreted in the Renaissance by Marsilio Ficino, court philosopher for the Medici. The clearest indication of philosophical adoption comes by way of his two paintings for the Medici, Primavera and Pallas and the Centaur.
