Abstract

This study aims to explore the significance that the machine achieves in the humanist period as a means of individual creation and as an artefact, "competing" with the creativity of nature. The complex interrelations between art, science and nature determine the different ways in which the machine has been considered as an instrument which combines aesthetics and technology. This is illustrated by a discussion of a previously unpublished example developed at the importan! stage of Spanish humanism comprising the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries, just as the unitary or "encyclopedic" concept of the Renaissance was falling apart under the influence of the Manneristic crisis
which brought about the definitive divorce between the aesthetic and scientific treatment of nature.
