Abstract

After the long decay of a theocentric ideology, the mankind awakes, with the first lights at the dawn of the Renaissance, to the unavoidable impetus of a vivifying anthropocentrism. In order to express the poetics of his new cosmology he needed some resources which enabled him to draw the profiles of his renewed build. And the artistic manifest certainly constituted the vehicle for transmission of that new ideology which advocated for unravelling his new idiosyncrasy as a free and rational man, expressed in terms of an irrefutable, universal truth… in a Time stopped for eternity.
