Von Botticelli bis Adam Elsheimer
VB

The Renaissance is still one of the most fascinating epochs ever. The spectrum of essays collected here ranges from Sandro Botticelli to the Frankfurt painter Adam Elsheimer. Botticelli was, with his masterpieces, the undisputed inaugurator of the astronomical turn to the modern age. His pupil Filippino Lippi, who entered his workshop in 1472, spread the reputation of the master in his comet board. Finally, the message reached Milan, where Leonardo created his Last Supper in the mid-1490s. In the right place at the right time, perhaps the situation of Adam Elsheimer, arriving in April 1600 in Rome, could be described. Just two months earlier, Giordano Bruno had been publicly burned. In his works, Elsheimer, like Bruno, proves to be a convinced Copernican. A lecture on comets as a motif in art - with the focus on the Quattrocento - concludes this volume. Die Renaissance zählt nach wie vor zu den faszinierendsten Epochen überhaupt. Das Spektrum der hier versammelten Aufsätze reicht von Sandro Botticelli bis zum Frankfurter Maler Adam Elsheimer. Botticelli war, mit seinen Meisterwerken, der unumstrittene Inaugurator der astronomischen ?Wende? zur Neuzeit. Sein Schüler Filippino Lippi, der 1472 in seine Werkstatt eintrat, verbreitete in seiner Kometentafel den Ruf des Meisters. Die Botschaft erreichte schliesslich auch Mailand, wo Leonardo Mitte der 1490er Jahre sein Abendmahl schuf. Zur rechten Zeit am rechten Ort - so liesse sich vielleicht die Situation Adam Elsheimers beschreiben, der im April 1600 in Rom ankommt. Gerade einmal zwei Monate zuvor war Giordano Bruno öffentlich verbrannt worden. In seinen Werken erweist sich Elsheimer, ebenso wie Bruno, als überzeugter Kopernikaner. Ein Vortrag zu Kometen als Motiv in der Kunst - mit dem Fokus auf dem Quattrocento - beschliesst diesen Band.
