A new monograph of a well known historian of culture and philologist M. Iampol`skii, is about the history of representation which, according to the author, started in the epoch of Renaissance. The accent in painting shifted from the technique of an artist to his ability to "see" images in his own imagination. This shift in artistic craftsmanship leads to weakening of the material and strengthening of the ideal component in culture.
