Renaissance representations of the Olympians as autonomous figures in paintings, sculp' ture, and drawing were not easily integrated into a Christian society. While many patrons and artists venerated the ancient artworks for their artistic qualities, others, nourished by religious beliefs, felt compelled to adapt ancient representations to Christian subjects. These conflicting attitudes influenced the representation of deities intentionally made all'antica, often resulting in an interweaving of classical and nonclassical elements that is alien to the original, ancient sources. The study, the first devoted to this problem, highlights how problematic it was during the Cinque- cento to display and receive images of pagan gods, whether shaped by ancient or contemporary artists. It offers new insights into the uneven absorption of the classical heritage during the early modern era. / CONTENTS List of Illustrations Acknowledgments Introduction PART 1: OUTLINING A CINQUECENTO PHENOMENON 1 Terms and Concepts 2 Components of the Phenomenon PART II: DISCOVERIES AND THEIR IMPACT 3 Olympian Deities in Ancient Sculpture 4 Ancient Testimonies 5 Literary Descriptions 6 The Question of Revival PART III: CINQUECENTO WORKS OF ART 7 Classical Elements 8 Nonclassical Elements 9 The Conflict in Cinquecento Schools of Thought Notes Frequently Cited Modern Sources Index.

As the Renaissance revived several aspects of antiquity, some great works of art represented the Olympians in imitation of the classical style. These deities were rendered as autonomous figures, in the form of representation adapted for depicting saints and Christian rulers. This form of depicting the Olympians, or the pagan gods, was not unanimously accepted by sixteenth-century viewers. The book highlights the problematic framework surrounding the creation, display and acceptance of such thought-provoking works of art. ; 9.7 X 7.2 X 1.0 inches; 318 pages, Books<
