Oscillant entre la majesteacute; artificielle des icocirc;nes byzantines et la profondeur naturaliste initieacute;e par Giotto; lrsquo;art des primitifs italiens incarne les premiers pas vers lrsquo;art de la Renaissance.Srsquo;essayant agrave; drsquo;autres supports; ces premiers artistes deacute;laissegrave;rent peu agrave; peu la fresque pour les panneaux de bois amovibles. Si le hieacute;ratisme des visages peut choquer nos yeux neacute;ophytes; agrave; lrsquo;eacute;poque; cette distanciation soulignait la diviniteacute; des personnages repreacute;senteacute;s. Cette sacraliteacute; eacute;tait renforceacute;e par les fonds illumineacute;s agrave; la feuille drsquo;or. Lrsquo;eacute;leacute;gance de la ligne et le choix des couleurs les plus denses concouraient eacute;galement agrave; rendre perceptible linvisible.Ce livre srsquo;attache agrave; souligner lrsquo;importance capitale que joua lrsquo;humanisation du sacreacute;; ouvrant une porte discregrave;te mais deacute;finitive vers lrsquo;humanisme cher agrave; la Renaissance.

Yes; please!By Wizard SleeveA brilliant book of interlinking essays! Miller is able to balance passion; insight; authority; and humor while maintaining a personable and self-aware style that is absolutely unique. This book pushes beyond criticism and gives the feeling of embarking on a Hitchcockian adventure imbued with suspense and shocking delights. The rhythm and language of the text creates a momentum that lovingly carries the reader through each twist and turn. Its as though Miller has taken you by the hand and is excitedly running with you from one discovery to another. I didnt think it was possible; but I left this read with a heightened appreciation for Hitchcock; close readings; criticism; and life itself!
