- Summary
- "This volume brings together the papers delivered at the international conference Paragone. Leonardo in Context, held in July 2019 at the University of Leipzig, as well as an additional essay by Martin Kemp on Leonardo’s sfumato. For this publication, the original conference title was slightly modified to Paragone. Leonardo in Comparison, in order to do justice to the comparative character of the studies it presents and the importance of comparison as a methodological paradigm. A discussion of this is found in the introduction, which at the same time seeks, by way of example, to apply the comparative paradigm to currently the most contentious issue in Leonardo scholarship: the artist’s design for a Christ as Salvator Mundi"--
- Leonardo da Vinci's fame is based not solely on his innovative artistic oeuvre, but also on an unusually wide-ranging corpus of drawings, notes, reflections and treatises pertaining to almost every discipline of the day. In conjunction with other contemporary documents, this legacy allows a precise reconstruction of Leonardo's thinking and work, as well as his intellectual development. The large number of possible areas of focus (proportion theory, anatomy, optics, botany, architecture, engineering, philosophy, etc.) leads, however, to a fragmentation of research. The aim of this book is to bring together individual strands of Leonardo scholarship in terms of a contextualizing comparison, namely in the example of individual project areas in particular painting, architecture, engineering, military technology, hydrology and mechanics. In this spirit, the book takes its title from 'Paragone', the term with which Leonardo's exploration of neighbouring arts and sciences can be described.
