Abstract

'We cannot write the history of art', says Professor Gombrich in the Preface to this volume, 'without taking account of the changing functions assigned to the visual image in different societies and different cultures . . . an image intended to reveal a higher reality of religion or philosophy will assume a different form from one that is prized for its imitation of appearances.'While this latter function of reflecting the visible world formed the subject of the author's well-known book on Art and Illusion, the studies here assembled deal with 'Symbolic Images' created by masters such as Botticelli, Mantegna, Giulio Romano and Nicolas Poussin. The papers offering fresh interpretations of mythological, astrological, allegorical and theological themes in Renaissance art previously published in learned journals have been revised and placed into a wider context by the addition of a new methodological Introduction on Aims and Limits of Iconology, a hitherto unpublished lecture on Raphael's Stanza della Segnatura and the Nature of its Symbolism and a much amplified version of the essay Icones Symbolicae. Here Professor Gombrich surveys the evolution of this type of art in ancient and medieval times, studies the philosophical implications of visual symbolism in the Renaissance and uncovers the links of these potent ideas with Freud's and Jung's theories of symbolism. Thus, while this volume complements the essays on Renaissance patronage and taste collected in Norm and Form, it also concerns in the author's words - 'traditions which still affect the way we talk and think about the art of our own time'.Altogether more than one third of the material in this volume has not appeared in print before.
