Overview

Renaissance artists and humanists worked closely together on artistic projects that promoted the revival of antiquity and restored the pagan gods to their former glory. Artists often took on the role of ‘visual humanist’ themselves. This book examines the role of artists in various collaborations and addresses the question: was the revival of the pagan gods an artistic game or a religious practice? It thus provides new insights into a much-researched debate.
