	burckhardt
		Burckhardt's work assembles what he sees as the significant elements of Italian national character, and answers why, as a whole, they adopted individualism as a way of thinking and living earlier than their European counterparts.
		Burckhardt begins with the Italian state as a work of art, or in other words, "the state as the outcome of reflection and calculation." (2) The financial support of most states were derived from land taxes, taxes on consumption, duties on imports and exports, the personal wealth of the ruler, and "well-planned" confiscations.(4).
		Burckhardt argues that since most rulers were men of violence, who had seized power by illegitimate means, they surrounded themselves with men of talent, not birth: capable poets, scholars and condottieri served to legitimate a ruler.

	Jakob Burckhardt Renaissance Cultural history
		Jakob Burckhardt, later famous as a Renaissance Cultural historian, was born in Basel, where his father was a minister in the Reformed church, in May 1818.
		In this work Burckhardt traced the cultural patterns of transition from the medieval period to the awakening of the modern spirit and creativity of the Renaissance.
		Burckhardt established the thesis that Renaissance art represented a break with the past, wherein representation became scientific, realistic, individualistic and humane; the visual analogue to the birth of the modern sensibility, one which left behind the superstitious mindset of the Dark Ages.

		In 1848 Burckhardt taught at the Pädagogium in Basel and in 1855 at the Polytechnic Institute in Zurich.

		Burckhardt's distrust of historical progress was not in tune with the generally optimistic cultural-historical writing of the time.

	"Rudy Burckhardt and friends" at the Grey Art Gallery and "Remembering Rudy" at Tibor de Nagy - photographs and films - ...
		Photographer Rudy Burckhardt, who died just a year ago, was probably the least well known of the group, and yet in some ways the most central, given that he seems to have been liked and admired by all the others.
		Burckhardt was the house photographer for Art News in the `50s and early `60s and produced intimate portraits for photo-essays on de Kooning, Rothko, Porter and Joan Mitchell.
		Burckhardt's narrative films, done more in the spirit of fun, are charged with nostalgia even so, because of the "actors" who make cameo appearances or have starring roles in them.

	The Idea of the Renaissance
		There are two important aspects to this change, according to Burckhardt: the revival of classical learning, character, and life (hence the "rebirth" or "renaissance" of the classical world) and the beginning of the modern age.
		In formulating a beginning for modern culture, Burckhardt was also arguing that modern culture wass not: anything that occurred between the decline of the classical world and the Renaissance—hence, the idea of the Renaissance also created the idea of the "middle ages," a period between the classical period and the Renaissance.
		Like Burckhardt, they see the meaning and value of this period in relation to what follows, that is, modernity.
