THE SPIRITUAL EXERCISES OF LEONARDO DA VINCI Marina Mitaleva (translator)
Abstract
The aim of this article is to show that Leonardo’s remarks about the discipline of art are an important aspect of his thought and an important feature of its modernity, to suggest that his overall approach to art needs to be seen, not only in terms of an emerging scientific mentality, but also against a background of new economic and social pressures equally characteristic of the modern world. The translation is made from: Williams R. The Spiritual Exercises of Leonardo da Vinci // A Companion to Art Theory. Blackwell Publishing, 2002. pp. 75-87. Article is published with the kind permission of the author.
