Archivio Remo Salvadori

"Germoglio (Sprout) demonstrates that Remo Salvadori’s work is perfectly in keeping with the best tradition of Italian art: quite clearly descending from the inextricable link between ars and scientia that was forged in the Renaissance and whose most eminent representatives were Brunelleschi, Masaccio, and Piero della Francesca.

Not only is it comparable to the pictorial and architectural products of that extraordinary period in its quest for aesthetic perfection and beauty that emanate from an inner harmony, but also—and perhaps above all—in the mathematical and geometric rigor with which it is constructed. This rigor is fully displayed in Piero della Francesca’s De prospectiva pingendi, as well as in Luca Pacioli’s Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalita and his De Divina proportione, illustrated by Leonardo da Vinci. To which we could add Francesco Zorzi’s De harmonia mundi, which explores the relations between musical theory and the mathematical sciences."
