Imago rationis. Iconografia, politica e diritto nell'Italia settentrionale tra i secoli XIV e XV

In the western legal tradition, there has always been a close and reciprocal relationship between law and non-legal disciplines, including the arts. Law has not only determined the conditions of legitimacy for other disciplines but has also integrated them as authoritative sources within its own realm. This essay delves into the exploration of this symbiotic relationship, drawing insights from legal doctrine, artistic traditions, and the reflections that artists themselves made about their craft and identity.
