Pythagoras and Renaissance Europe : finding heaven

Author:	Christiane L Joost-Gaugier
Publisher:	Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2009.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"In Pythagoras and Renaissance Europe: Finding Heaven, Christiane L. Joost-Gaugier offers the first systematic study of Pythagoras the ancient Greek sage, and his influence on mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, religion, medicine, music, the occult, and social life - as well as on architecture and art - in the late medieval and early modern eras. Spanning the period between Dante and Petrarch in the fourteenth century and Kepler and Galileo in the seventeenth, this book demonstrates that Pythagoras's influence in intellectual circles - Christian, Jewish, and Arab - was more widespread than has previously been acknowledged. Joost-Gaugier shows that during this period admiration for Pythagoras was great throughout Europe. She also shows how this admiration was translated into ideas that were applied to the visual arts by numerous well-known architects and artists who sought, through the use of a visual language inspired by the memory of Pythagoras, to obtain perfect harmony in their creations. Among these were Alberti, Bramante, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Thus, she suggests, some of the greatest artworks in the Western world owe their modernity to an inspirational force that, paradoxically, was conceived in the distant past."--Jacket.  Read more...
