演題
Learning from Leonardo and beyond: How we can understand Perception from Art, how we can enjoy Art from Perception
(レオナルドからの学び、そしてその先へ：どのようにアートから知覚を理解し、知覚からアートを楽しむか)
要旨
Perceptual sciences offer fascinating insights into masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, far beyond the realm of conspiracy theories and mystery tales. Rather than speculating on hidden codes, scientific analysis reveals solid facts about how artists such as da Vinci, Dürer, Vermeer, and Seurat skillfully integrated principles of perception into their works. These historical „masters of arts“ exemplified a time when art and science were deeply interconnected, enhancing both disciplines through mutual influence. Their understanding of optics, perspective, and human vision contributed to revolutionary artistic techniques that continue to inspire today. Reestablishing this strong link between art and science is crucial in modern times. By learning from each other’s methods and discoveries, artists and scientists can unlock new creative and intellectual possibilities. This synergy fosters a richer understanding of both fields, paving the way for innovation and a deeper appreciation of how perception shapes our experience of the world.
