Das Vermächtnis des Steins: Morphologische Dramaturgien zwischen Transition und Transformation im Werk Andrea Mantegnas
Andrea Mantegna's paintings are distinguished by the intricate interplay of various elements, particularly the dynamic relationship between organic and inorganic carriers of significance. Of notable significance are the mineral-like textures and objects, serving as transitional mediums that blur the distinction between animate and inanimate entities, between stillness and vitality. This study delves into these compelling aspects of material representation and aesthetics, focusing on the potential reception and exchange processes within the intellectual milieu of Quattrocento natural philosophy.
