Hey /lit/ I'm a d/ic/k and I'm interested in studing classics because the influence thay had in art since the renaissence,

But from what I'm seeing the academics tried to imitate the classics but their product was very idependent from them, am I equivocate? If so I will really like to know how the classics influenced art.

How can I study them if I can't go to college?

that's the guy. "on painting" isn't actually the manual of painting that triggered the renaissance; it sums up what had been seen in painting at the time. what makes it important though is that it is the first time anyone had actually written about art since antiquity. he was educated in the classics and that insight really comes through. one of the most important primary sources of the renaissance.

On Painting seems to be more about formal technique than philosophy.

Still will give it a try.

Lessing, Winckelmann.
Aristotle's Poetics (even though it's more related to drama).
Virgil is good too if you want to understand Augustean art. Have fun.

But what Virgil's title?

Istead of making a new thread I'll ask here.

According to /lit/ why should we study classics? What can we learn from them?
