Qvid Tvm?


Douglas Lewis, in his catalog entry to The Currency of Fame, suggests instead that the godlike eye belongs to the artist as nascent Renaissance man, the arms of humanism taken up against a sea of troubles. (Alberti’s Anuli also says, indeed, that the hieroglyph of the winged eye enjoins us “to be as vigilant and circumspect as we can, seeking everything which leads to the glory of virtue.”) [source]
