Abstract

The assumption of Dürer from the Cusan thought – in both the art doctrine and the artistic production – leads us to a blind alley: the truth, the absolute beauty escape every human measuring. Reason admits her own ignorance over the 'infinite measure'. Mathematics, geometry and the optical studies restore only a conjectural and extremely reduced (contract) imago of the world.
