Language: English. Brand new Book. Excerpt from A Short Guide: 50 Masterpieces in the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, Florida OF all late 15th century Florentine painters, Piero di Cosimo was one of the few gifted with a sense of humor. Apart from its intrinsic beauty and documentary interest as an illustration of the building procedures of that day, there is to be noted in this painting the disarming wit of the busy figures at their various pursuits. The 15th century's interest in science is reflected in the correct rendering of the perspective, and the artist's almost naive pride in his knowledge of its laws. Figures become smaller as they recede into the distance; parallel lines converge at the so-called vanishing point - here, the central pivot of the composition. The foreshortened stone figure of the child in the left foreground is yet another indication of the passionate interest of the Renaissance mind in transcribing visual reality to the painted surface. The Italian Renaissance was an age of inquiry into the significance of man and his works. Its birthplace was Florence, where all the arts began then to blossom nourished by intellectuals, and patronized by wealthy princes, bankers and merchants. Renaissance means rebirth: the rebirth (so its proponents contended) of classical antiquity, of the glories of Greece and Rome, the age-old heritage of the Mediterranean. Furthermore, the movement developed in reaction to the Gothic styles of the North, which had been imported into, and in a sense foisted on, Italy during the 13th and 14th centuries. That northern concept, called by Italians lo stile tedesco or style of the barbarians, was opposed in every way to the inherited classical ways of thinking. It was irrational without repose or geometric harmony, and ill-suited to a land still dotted with the ruins of the Roman builders. The Gothic style, in a deeply mystical period, had empha sized the glory oi God as the center of man's universe, and the relatively unimportant place of man, His anonymous and regimented servant. The Renaissance brought rational man once again to the center of the stage. He emerged once more as an individual, deeply engrossed in the way he looked, the way he moved, what he thought about, and how he felt. Renaissance art inevitably embodied these concepts, and Piero di Cosimo's Building of a Palace shows this concern with the creative pursuits of man.
