Carles Mancho
Is there a medieval Humanism -according to the definition developed by Burckhardt for Humanism-? Medieval Renaissance Panofsky Renaissance-? Trying shed light on this question inevitably requires questioning matrix from which both ideas arise. But it would be almost irresponsible, foolish probably, try answer articulately in lines that follow. I will try, therefore, simply some of aspects involving relationship between them and ninth-century city Rome, aware fact that, fifteenth century onward -because consciousness with was coined its creators- nineteenth nascent historiography-,’Renaissance’ ‘Humanism’ have become backbone holding up body art history. To address topic, we begin presenting practical case: Arch Constantine (Rome; 315) triumphal arch Santa Prassede Esquiline Hill 817). This is could been presented terms Carolingian “rebirth” or “renovatio.” In second part, discuss meaning these expressions context relation arches.
