“文艺复兴”作为在漫长的中世纪之后艺术与古典文化“再生”的观念最初是由意大利的人文主义者,著名的《画家,雕塑家和建筑师传记》（Lives ofthe Painters,Sculptors,and Architects,1550和1568）一书的作者G·瓦萨里提出的。虽然瑞士的历史学家雅克布·布克哈特在他的《意大利文艺复兴时期的文明》（The Civilization of the Renaissance inItaly）中认为这一说法过于的狭窄,但它毕竟已成为普遍接受的概念。布克哈特这本开拓性的巨著,初版于1860年,后又多次再版,一直是对那个伟大时代最经典的阐述。它对城邦、个人、社会、古典的复兴及新世界的发现等伟大的主题作了探究,但却没有论述到视觉艺术。我们这个时代的学者们对有关文艺复兴的各种传统观念作了重审和修正。由Karl H.Dannenfeldt选编的题为《文艺复兴:基本的解释》（The Renaissance:Basic Interpretations,1924年第二版）的论文集是一本收集了诸种就文艺复兴问题的“几个最重要方面”持相反观点的具有代表性的著作。书中最后那篇由著名的文艺复兴研究专家Wallace K.Ferguson撰写的总结性的文章——《文艺复兴的再解释》尤有价值。在这部著作中,就各个时期艺术地位而言,现代学者们都一致认为文艺复

This pioneering book by Bukhart, first published in 1860 and later republished several times, has been the most classic illustration of that great era. It explores the great themes of city-states, individuals, society, the revival of classicality, and the discovery of a new world, but it does not address the visual arts. The scholars of our time have reviewed and amended various traditional concepts concerning the Renaissance. The essay entitled ”The Renaissance: Basic Interpretations, Second Edition, 1924“ by Karl H. Dannenfeldt is a collection of the most important articles on the Renaissance issue Aspects ”of the opposite view of the representative works. The concluding essay by the famous Renaissance expert Wallace K. Ferguson, “Reinterpretation of the Renaissance,” is of particular value in the book. In this book, as far as the artistic status of each period is concerned, modern scholars all agree that literature and art
