Nahsicht-Fernsicht. Naturerfahrung in der Frühen Neuzeit mit Blick auf die Malerei

https://doi.org/10.5507/aither.2020.002 AbsTRACT This paper tries to analyse basic problems of art-production in renaissance and early modern art (particularly in painting, but implicitly also in sculpture and architecture) from a philosophical point of view. The fundamental questions are: how do distances and directions interact? What role plays, if one turns away from mathematical-geometrical acts of measuring, the position locally and temporally of an individual? Is there any influence of the philosophical problem of singularity on art? One possible and most interesting horizon where answers could be given and found, is the horizon of perspectivity.*
