QUATTROCENTO HUMANISM / NEOPLATONISM,
This review is from: Botticelli's Neoplatonic Images (Scripta Humanistica) (Hardcover)
CHENEY'S BOOK ;BOTTICELLI'S NEOPLATONIC IMAGES IS AN EXCELLENT SCHOLARLY BOOK WITHOUT BEING OVERLY ACADEMIC. I FOUND THAT ONCE YOU ADOPT TO CHENEY'S STYLE OF WRITING YOU BEGIN TO ENJOY THE JOURNEY THAT IS; THE QUATTROCBENTO, WITH ALL THAT COMES WITH IT. SUCH AS NEOPLATONISM, QUATTROCBENTO NEOPLATONISM, MEDICI HUMANISM AND QUATTROCBENTO HUMANISM NOT TO MENTION THE DOORS SHE OPENS INTO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF RENAISSANCE POETRY,PHLOSOPHY AND POLITICS OF THE MEDICI PERIOD IN FLORENCE.HOW MAJOR FIGURES CLOSE TO LORENZO THE MAGNIFICENT SUCH AS FICINO,ALBERTI AND POLIZIANO HELPED TO INFLUENCE THE SOCIO-POLITICAL-ARTISIC MOVEMENTS OF THE QUATTROCENTO PERIOD, WHICH RESULTED IN A FLOURISHING STATE,WONDERFUL POETRY AND ARTISTIC MASTERPIECES SUCH AS BOTTICELLI'S TRANSCENDENT MYTHOLOGICAL PAINTINGS BEING CREATED.
