- Abstract
- Inherited from the Middle Ages and reinvented at the beginning of the early modern period, the notion of figura is instrumental in understanding the epistemological reconfigurations that have occurred during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Belonging at the same time to the three different fields of theology, rhetoric, and the visual arts, this concept forms the foundation of the theories and practices of representation. This article advances the idea that in the period under scrutiny here the figure designates not so much an object as a process seeking to articulate the sensible and the intelligible, the visible and the invisible, the corporeal and the spiritual.
