Iconology, Neoplatonism, and the Arts in the Renaissance

Summary

The mid-twentieth century saw a change in paradigms of art history: iconology. The main claim of this novel trend in art history was that renown Renaissance artists (such as Botticelli, Leonardo or Michelangelo) created imaginative syntheses between their art and contemporary cosmology, philosophy, theology and magic.
