Tytuł i abstrakt:
Loving Art: Models of Creativity in Early Modern Europe
This lecture explores a major question that is hopefully not only of interest to art history, but concerns a wide variety of disciplines and contexts from antiquity to the present day. The question is: How could artistic creativity be understood and thematized in the early modern period? How could it be explained that certain people produced outstanding art – and others did not? It is about the historical metaphors, models and theories with which artistic creativity was attempted to be described in early modern Europe. A central thematic field for this was love, eroticism, and procreativity: the artist as lover, art as seductress, the viewer in love with the works. It will be shown that these ideas provide a crucial approach to understanding early modern art in Europe.
