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

Taking Peter Paul Rubens’ *Battle of the Amazons* (1617/1618) as his starting point, Maximilian Geiger explores in this study the development of early modern history painting in the Netherlands. He examines the religious, economic, and empirical factors, as well as the aesthetic and epistemological aspects, that shaped this development since the Quattrocento. Rubens’ works, created at the turn of a new political and economic era, demonstrate a transformed understanding of the image, in which the pictorial concepts of Leon Battista Alberti and the Catholic Reformation were reflected upon and modified. Maximilian Geiger demonstrates that the narrative structures of painting are rooted in various perceptual spaces and modes of representation, and that the materiality of the images is an integral part of a new form of visual perception. He illustrates that Rubens contributed to a new way of apprehending reality through his painting.
