Abstract

The mirror metaphor, the vision theme, and the mens theory as "mensura viva" lie at the heart of Nicholas of Cusa's reflection. The very same themes can be found in Lorenzo Lotto's artistic production, especially in the devices designed by Giovan Francesco Capoferri in the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo.This correspondence lies at the core of the image theory between the 1400s and the 1500s.
