In Inventing Falsehood, Making Truth, Malcolm Bull looks at Neapolitan art around 1700 through the eyes of the philosopher Giambattista Vico. Surrounded by extravagant examples of late Baroque painting by artists like Luca Giordano and Francesco Solimena, Vico concluded that human truth was a product of the imagination. Truth was not something that could be observed: instead, it was something made in the way that paintings were made--through the exercise of fantasy.Juxtaposing paintings and texts, Bull presents the masterpieces of late Baroque painting in early eighteenth-century Naples from an entirely new perspective. Revealing the close connections between the arguments of the philosophers and the arguments of the painters, he shows how Vico drew on both in his influential philosophy of history, The New Science. Bull suggests that painting can serve not just as an illustration for philosophical arguments, but also as the model for them--that painting itself has sometimes been a form of epistemological experiment, and that, perhaps surprisingly, the Neapolitan Baroque may have been one of the routes through which modern consciousness was formed"-- |cProvided by publisher. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web 600 10 Vico, Giambattista, |d1668-1744. |=^A22146 650 0 Painting |xPhilosophy. |=^A116849 650 0 Art and philosophy |zItaly |xHistory |y18th century. |=^A596995 650 0 Painting, Italian |zItaly |zNaples |y18th century. |=^A46298 650 0 Painting, Baroque |zItaly |zNaples. |=^A1240792 650 0 Truth. |=^A16694 650 7 ART / European. |2bisacsh 650 7 ART / History / Baroque & Rococo. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Europe / Italy. |2bisacsh 650 7 PHILOSOPHY / General. |2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. |=^A491897 856 40 |zFull text available from Ebook Central - Academic Complete |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/eastcarolina/detail.action?docID=1441376 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJOYNER188 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hHSL77 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJMUSIC60 596 1 3 4 998 4653436
