这项研究是**个研究15世纪佛罗伦萨艺术与暴力之间关系的研究，它展示了一个以开明和进取的思想而闻名的时期。佛罗伦萨在文艺复兴时期经常遭受暴力的打击，无论是谨慎执行的处决仪式还是基督所受苦难的画面。与15世纪末发展起来的暴力美学不同，这种痛苦文化没有什么新鲜之处。它出现在Piero di Cosimo，Bertoldo di Giovanni，Antonio del Pollaiuolo和年轻的米开朗基罗等艺术家的作品中。受上古艺术的启发，他们创作了表现致命战斗画面的油画、雕刻和雕塑作品，最终使对残酷暴力的描绘正常化。斯科特•纳瑟索尔（Scott Nethersole）借鉴了社会和文学史以及艺术史上的著作，阐释了这些文艺复兴时期的图像，暴力以及艺术发明和作者观念之间的关系。

This study is the first to examine the relationship between art and violence in 15th-century Florence, exposing the underbelly of a period more often celebrated for enlightened and progressive ideas. Renaissance Florentines were constantly subjected to the sight of violence, whether in carefully staged rituals of execution or images of the suffering inflicted on Christ. There was nothing new in this culture of pain, unlike the aesthetic of violence that developed towards the end of the 15th century. It emerged in the work of artists such as Piero di Cosimo, Bertoldo di Giovanni, Antonio del Pollaiuolo, and the young Michelangelo. Inspired by the art of antiquity, they painted, engraved, and sculpted images of deadly battles, ultimately normalizing representations of brutal violence. Drawing on work in social and literary history, as well as art history, Scott Nethersole sheds light on the relationship between these Renaissance images, violence, and ideas of artistic invention and authorship.
