Abstract
Michelangelo's designs for St. Petronius, St. Proculus and the Candelabrum-Bearing Angel, carved for the Shrine of St. Dominic in Bologna during a stay in the city from 1494 to 1495, illustrate his sensitivity to the object as a visual experience bound to the observer and governed by conditions imposed by the site. The visual evidence provided by these three statuettes in fact demonstrates that, from the beginning of his career as a sculptor, Michelangelo's fundamental ideas concerning figural composition al giudizio dell'occhio, for which he later would become famous, were firmly in place.
期刊介绍:
Artibus et Historiae is a journal dedicated to the visual arts, published by IRSA Publishing House. The lavishly illustrated articles cover a broad range of subjects, including photography and film, as well as traditional topics of scholarly art research. Artibus et Historiae particularly encourages interdisciplinary studies - art history in conjunction with other humanistic fields, such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, or literature - and unconventional approaches. Thus it is hoped that the current trends in art history will be well represented in our issues. Artibus et Historiae appears twice a year, in hardback. The articles are in one of four languages: English, Italian, German, or French, at the author"s discretion.
