Mourir de rire d'après et avec Rabelais

Renaissance et Réforme / 85 namely through underpainting local colour in contrasting tonesand it is possible to compare Leonardo's undermodelling in monochrome preliminary to his creation of sfumato.In the context of Hall's story, one especially appreciates the innovations these types of underpainting represent.(Still, it is unfortunate that the author did not include a colour reproduction of Leonardo's unfinished A^ora/Zon, which would have allowed the reader to gain some insight into his generative process.)By the early Cinquecento, according to Hall, the possibilities for experiment and colouristic rhetoric were such that one may formulate four types of "modal thinking" and their paradigms according to a contemporary model of perfection: sfumato (Leonardo), chiaroscuro (later Raphael and Sebastiano del Piombo), unione (Raphael), and cangiantismo (Michelangelo) (93)(94)(95).Accepting this way of read- ing the versatility of styles and technical bravura in Julian and Leonine Rome, one scrutinizes familiar High Renaissance works in the light of the earlier chapters and as if wielding purposive visual and semantic instruments.A fascinating, if familiar, motif is that of cangiantismo (colour modelling by hue rather than value such that the high-key effect is one of shot silk).Recommended by Cennini for other-worldly subjects, Michelangelo used it symbolically and formally to project the Sistine drama; one can speak of a prophetic contrapposto of colour and disegno.Color and Meaning is richly synthetic and will be used gratefully by teachers and students.One is left with a vitalized sense of curiosity about issues that are elliptically treated: why, exactly, did orange appear so late?Did patrons and artists fight over colour (as opposed to materials)?And, in the philosophic vein, what do we make of the implications for colour of different definitions of "surface"?This study represents a timely invitation to keep looking
