Alberti and the Construction of a Unified Setting: An Early Renaissance View of Composition and its Practical ApplicationRegister Now!
Academic Lecture: Thursday, November 18; 6:00PM – 8:00PM
Upon his return to Florence in the early part of the 15th century, Leon Battista Alberti was inspired by the new methods that he observed to be emerging in art and architecture, especially the great advances being made in one-point perspective and composition. It is these advances, particularly those observed in the context of early renaissance painting, which would have perhaps the broadest impact on representational art and architecture in the 15th century — and beyond. In this lecture, architect and professor Aimee Buccellato will explore the central principle of the new style of painting, the construction of a unified setting, its influence on architectural composition, and its practical application today.
