0 out of 5

£7.00

Join us for an illuminating talk that delves into the philosophy of Neoplatonism, a central tenet of the Italian Renaissance and a profound influence on the art and culture of the era. This event is part of our monthly theme, Quest for Meaning, exploring how philosophical ideas shaped lives and creative expression.

Neoplatonism was not merely a philosophy to ponder but a transformative way to live one’s life, integrating the pursuit of beauty, spirituality, and truth. In this session, we will examine how this philosophy was not only conceptualized but also embodied and visualized by some of the Renaissance’s most renowned artists: Fra Angelico, Botticelli, and Michelangelo. Beyond their art, we’ll also discuss how these artists sought to live in alignment with the philosophy’s principles, reflecting its transformative impact on their personal lives.
