Perpetual Motion by Michel Jeanneret
More than fifty illustrations supplement his analysis.
This ambitious, broadly integrative book argues persuasively for a late Renaissance whose art and literature were shaped by a widespread 'metamorphic sensibility'-- Colin Dickson Sixteenth Century Journal [ Perpetual Motion], by Michel Jeanneret, is brilliant and the translation by Nidra Pollet doesn't sound like a translation (a great compliment). -- L. R. N. Ashley Bibliotheque d'Humanism et Renaissance Jeanneret's work offers both breadth of scope and depth of interpretation to scholars and students of the Renaissance who seek to understand the generating circumstances of humanist thought and of the art they created. -- Deborah N. Losse Modern Language Notes A brilliant exercise in cultural Geitsgeschichte by way of historically contextualized aesthetics. -- Francois Rigolot Sixteenth Century Journal
