The spaces that never were in early modern art : an exploration of edges and frontiers
Abstract: Throughout history the research of space was always an issue of great interest. Since classical antiquity, the physical space itself and its imperfect double, the illusionary space used in the visual arts, were one of the perpetual obsessions of man. However, there are very few studies that question the reality of represented space, and deal with those liminal phenomena that exist on the blurred boundary between reality and imagination. Such spaces were never defined by carefully drawn borders; they were usually outlined by the ephemeral and ever changing barriers. Parallel to the conquest of the credible three-dimensional space, yet another space has been possessed, the space of the confine. That liminal realm always existed on the very edge of reality, between the artificial and imagined. In order for a space to be liminal, it had to be more illusionary than real, it has to contain the plurality of times and spaces usually not present in the palpable world of reality...
