It argues for Dante's painterly vision, and in this context establishes the medieval poet as a pre-Renaissance presence, pointing to his Classical, naturalistic manner of seeing, among other things, the human figure. His optic, Barricelli maintains, is so forceful that it has imposed its anatomical realism on most illustrators from the Renaissance (epitomized by Michelangelo) down to the present. The premise holds through the poetic realism of Nattini, the socio-political expressionism of Rauschenberg, the psychological surrealism and devout religiosity of Dalí, and the pictorial figurative and non-figurative art of Phillipps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shirley Paolini,Jean-Pierre Barricelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820415588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820415581\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Shirley Paolini","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457733243135,"sku":"9780820415581","price":91.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16c00787-b7fb-4c54-90b1-67e2a17940b6.jpg?v=1777400710","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dantes-vision-and-the-artist-shirley-paolini-9780820415581","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
