The ‘figure’ is a key category of early modern art. Following on from its theoretical delineation in ancient philosophy, the rhetorical potential of the ‘figure’ – which co-determined its iconographic reception, its "vivacità", and also its virtual dimension – underwent a significant reactivation in the visual arts of the early modern period. The authors reveal fresh perspectives on the pictorial figure at that time by analysing its semiotic significance in relation to the artistic material and the interrelationship between mental representation and material formulation. They analyse formal, functional and reception-aesthetic aspects of pictorial structures in the context of the period, and thus contribute to a differentiated understanding of the figure-ground constellation in the early modern era. New perspectives on the pictorial theory of the early modern age Analyses of works by artists incl. Niklaus Manuel, Peter Paul Rubens, Philippe de Champaignes, Tizian and Valentin de Boulognes

Starting out from Peter Paul Rubens’ The Battle of the Amazons (1617/1618), in this study Maximilian Geiger researches the development of early-modern history painting in the Netherlands. He examines religious, economic and empirical factors, as well as aesthetic and epistemological aspects that have influenced this development since the quattrocento. Rubens’ works, created at the dawn of a new political and economic era, reveal a transformed understanding of the image, reflecting upon and modifying the pictorial concepts of Leon Battista Alberti and the Catholic Reformation. Geiger shows that the narrative structures of painting have their roots in different perceptual spaces and modes of representation, demonstrating how the images’ materiality became integral to an innovative form of visual perception. He illustrates the way in which, through his painting, Rubens contributed to a new understanding of reality.
