This paper reflects on the philosophical traditions that would enable the artistic integration of Classical themes and values into the cultural-climate of Quattrocento and 15th century Europe. I posit that Dante’s Divine Comedy leverages the philosophical legacy of Averroes to reconcile Classical and Christian value-systems, subordinating the creative and cultural accomplishments of the former in anagogical service to the ethical and theological revelations of the latter. I argue that this project of philosophical synthesis exerts a direct influence on the intellectual and aesthetic contours of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, a late 15th century text attributed to one Francesco Colonna.

Illustration and text in theHypnerotomachia Poliphili(Venice, 1499) have been long considered intricately related yet the book's ornate, invented language has made study of such interaction difficult. This essay reconsiders their connections through a close analysis of two woodcuts and accompanying text in light of the poetical-rhetorical conventions of contemporary Petrarchan imitation in Italy. This reveals how Francesco Colonna visually and textually adapted, in a playful way, traditional subjects of vernacular lyric poetry: the beauty of the poet's beloved, and the lover's own emotions, characterized through metaphor and other tropes.

Francesco Colonna

En la Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (Venecia, 1499), Polifilo recorre, en sueños, distintos espacios caracterizados por la presencia de culturas pretéritas representadas, fundamentalmente, a partir de sus lenguas y  de sus creaciones arquitectónicas. De allí que su recorrido onírico pueda pensarse como un viaje hacia la antigüedad. En el presente trabajo, indagamos en las peculiaridades de esta elaboración del mundo antiguo que, en los albores del siglo XVI, ofrece el libro de Colonna. Seguiremos para ello tres modos en que el texto y los grabados representan la antigüedad: como (1) ruina, (2) como sueño (3) y como espacio híbrido.

In domestic scientific and public opinion, interest in religion as a new worldview paradigm is very high. Today's attention to the Christian religion in our society is connected, in our opinion, with the specificity of its value system, which distinguishes it from other forms of consciousness: the idea of ​​God, the absolute, the eternity of moral norms. That is why its historical forms do not receive accurate characteristics and do not matter in the mass consciousness. Modern religious beliefs do not always arise as a result of the direct influence of church preaching. The emerging religious values ​​are absorbed in a wide range of philosophical, artistic, ethical ideas, acting as a compensation for what is generally defined as spirituality. At the same time, the appeal to Christian values ​​became very popular.
