Durante il Rinascimento, come avveniva già in epoca antica e medievale, gli artisti rappresentano gli animali nei loro dipinti con finalità allegoriche e simboliche. Tuttavia, iniziarono anche a raffigurarli in modo molto più espressivo. Pur basandosi principalmente su modelli e schizzi, riuscirono a dipingere gli animali con un realismo straordinario. Di conseguenza, soprattutto se confrontati con le rappresentazioni medievali, gli animali nel Rinascimento occupano uno spazio tridimensionale e presentano posture corporee realistiche. Questa tesi si concentra su tale cambiamento, con particolare attenzione al caso studio del dipinto L’accoglienza degli ambasciatori veneziani a Damasco.

Abstract
During the Renaissance, as had been the case in ancient and medieval times, artists depicted animals in their paintings for allegorical and symbolic purposes. However, they also began to depict them much more expressively. Although they relied primarily on models and sketches, they managed to paint animals with extraordinary realism. Consequently, especially when compared with medieval representations, Renaissance animals occupy a three-dimensional space and exhibit realistic body postures. This thesis focuses on this shift, with particular attention to the case study of the painting The Reception of the Venetian Ambassadors in Damascus.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
