"This ambitious, broadly integrative book argues persuasively for a late Renaissance whose art and literature were shaped by a widespread 'metamorphic sensibility'."
(Colin Dickson Sixteenth Century Journal)"[Perpetual Motion], by Michel Jeanneret, is brilliant and the translation by Nidra Pollet doesn't sound like a translation (a great compliment)."
(L. R. N. Ashley Bibliotheque d'Humanism et Renaissance)"Jeanneret's work offers both breadth of scope and depth of interpretation to scholars and students of the Renaissance who seek to understand the generating circumstances of humanist thought and of the art they created."
(Deborah N. Losse Modern Language Notes)"A brilliant exercise in cultural Geitsgeschichte by way of historically contextualized aesthetics."
(François Rigolot Sixteenth Century Journal)The popular conception of the Renaissance as a culture devoted to order and perfection does not account for an important characteristic of Renaissance art: many of the period's major works, including those by da Vinci, Erasmus, Michelangelo, Ronsard, and Montaigne, appeared as works-in-progress, always liable to changes and additions. In Perpetual Motion, Michel Jeanneret argues for a sixteenth century swept up in change and fascinated by genesis and metamorphosis.
Jeanneret begins by tracing the metamorphic sensibility in sixteenth-century science and culture. Theories of creation and cosmology, of biology and geology, profoundly affected the perspectives of leading thinkers and artists on the nature of matter and form. The conception of humanity (as understood by Pico de Mirandola, Erasmus, Rabelais, and others), reflections upon history, the theory and practice of language, all led to new ideas, new genres, and a new interest in the diversity of experience. Jeanneret goes on to show that the invention of the printing press did not necessarily produce more stable literary texts than those transmitted orally or as hand-printed manuscripts―authors incorporated ideas of transformation into the process of composing and revising and encouraged creative interpretations from their readers, translators, and imitators. Extending the argument to the visual arts, Jeanneret considers da Vinci's sketches and paintings, changing depictions of the world map, the mythological sculptures in the gardens of Prince Orsini in Bomarzo, and many other Renaissance works. More than fifty illustrations supplement his analysis.
