Two Renaissance Lives: Benvenuto Cellini and Teresa of Jesus

View through CrossRef
Le présent article examine les autobiographies de deux personnages renaissants, le premier un artiste séculaire, le second une religieuse contemplative. À travers les images dont chacun se sert pour se façonner, on peut apercevoir un engagement commun avec certains thèmes humanistes et religieux qui définissent l'époque. Bien que la Renaissance soit généralement abordée comme l'âge d'un classicisme revivifié et des tendances humanistes suscitées par ce dernier, il faut peut-être également considérer la lutte avec son héritage chrétien comme l'élément qui prête à la Renaissance son caractère distinct et particulièrement profond.
