Page 52 - Renaissance, or of a peculiar religious attitude, we deal with the work of art as a symptom of something else which expresses itself in a countless variety of other symptoms, and we interpret its compositional and iconographical features as more particularized evidence of this "something else.
Page 428 - Antiquity was so concrete and, at the same time, so incomplete and distorted; whereas the modern one is, in a sense, abstract but more comprehensive and consistent. And this is why the mediaeval revivals were real but transitory whereas the Italian, or main, Renaissance was, in a sense, academic but permanent.

Page 429 - It is precisely this notion of a "new time" which distinguishes the Italian Renaissance from all the so-called earlier "Renaissances" in the Carolingian and Ottonian times or in the twelfth century. These times may have experienced a certain revival of classical studies. but the people living in them did not conceive of or wish for a complete break with the traditions of the times immediately...
