| Abstract: |
This paper concerns the impact of Galileo's astronomical observations
and the influence of the telescope upon visual culture after the early
17th century. The timely coincidence of Galileo's
astronomical telescopic observations with the artistic reevaluation of
light and vision motivated a remarkable series of developments in art,
which was redefined and mediated by the presence, if not the actual
use, of optical instruments. |
