该句暂无译文！
第二段
1 .OK. As art historians, one of our fundamental taste is to assign ownership to works of art, right?
该句暂无译文！
2 .We're presented with a work of art, and we have to figure out who made it.
该句暂无译文！
3 .But this task becomes particularly difficult when we're dealing with works produced in Italy during the Renaissance, the 16th, 17th centuries.
该句暂无译文！
第三段
1 .Now, why is this the case?
该句暂无译文！
2 .Anyone? Emily.
该句暂无译文！
第四段
1 .Um...is it 'cause artists didn't sign their work?
该句暂无译文！
2 .I mean, didn't the whole concept of the artist as an individual developed later? In like the 19th century?
该句暂无译文！
第五段
1 .Well, you are sort of on the right track.
该句暂无译文！
2 .The concept of the individual artist, especially the concept of the artist as an artistic genius struggling alone with a vision as opposed to...say...a mere artisan...well, the idea of the artist as a lone genius didn't develop until later.
该句暂无译文！
第六段
1 .But artists, individual artists, did sign their work during the Renaissance.
该句暂无译文！
2 .In fact, you could say that's part of the problem.
该句暂无译文！
3 .Paintings were signed by the artist and that used to be understood to be a mark of Renaissance's individualism.
该句暂无译文！
4 .If a piece had Raphael's signature on it, we assume it was done by the great artist himself Raphael, in the singular.
该句暂无译文！
第七段
1 .But you see, art in Renaissance Italy was very much a collaborative business.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Painters and sculptors worked in a workshop.
该句暂无译文！
3 .It was almost like a small business run by a master artist.
该句暂无译文！
第八段
1 .You see, to deal with a wide variety of commissions they received, orders basically, for specific types of art, specific projects, to handle these, master artists often employed assistants as apprentices.
该句暂无译文！
2 .And this was especially so if they worked on a large scale, huge paintings or sculptures, or if they were much in demand, like Raphael, for instance.
该句暂无译文！
第九段
1 .He worked on some large paintings.
该句暂无译文！
2 .He painted frescos for the Vatican1.
该句暂无译文！
3 .He also received a great many commissions.
该句暂无译文！
4 .There's no way he could have completed every part of every project all by himself.
该句暂无译文！
第十段
1 .Now, these assistants might work for the master artist on a temporary or a permanent basis.
该句暂无译文！
2 .And they might also specialize.
该句暂无译文！
3 .For example, in Raphael's workshop, which might be called Raphael incorporated, one of the assistants specialized in animals.
该句暂无译文！
4 .He actually painted a good number of the animals in Raphael's art.
该句暂无译文！
5 .It maybe that a master signing a work was simply making a declaration that the work met the standards of the shop.
该句暂无译文！
第十一段
1 .And it wasn't just painters.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Sculptors also worked together.
该句暂无译文！
3 .In fact, assistants were even more necessary if you were a master sculptor because statues take longer to make than paintings.
该句暂无译文！
4 .And the master had to arrange for marble to be quarried, things like that.
该句暂无译文！
第十二段
1 .Perhaps the most collaborative of all was architecture.
该句暂无译文！
2 .There we see a real division of labor, but with carpenters, masons, unskilled labor just to carry materials to and fro, and so on.Plus, of course, your skilled artisans who carried out the master architect's design.
该句暂无译文！
3 .Think of it, like, um, a ballet, you know.
该句暂无译文！
4 .All the dancers work together.
该句暂无译文！
5 .There's a division of labor. People have different roles.
该句暂无译文！
6 .And in order for the thing to come together, everyone needs to be aware of what others are doing and coordinate their work and have good timing.
该句暂无译文！
第十三段
1 .So for architecture, it's almost impossible to know who was responsible for any given detail.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Was it the master architect?
该句暂无译文！
3 .The mason? An assistant mason?
该句暂无译文！
4 .Maybe it was even the patron, the client who was paying for the art.
该句暂无译文！
第十四段
1 .Remember, it wasn't yet customary for architects to give their assistants measured drawings to work from.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Instructions were given orally, not in writing. So we don't have those documents to tell us what exactly the master architect's plans were.
该句暂无译文！
3 .The only time we have written records is when the architect wasn't actually there.
该句暂无译文！
4 .Perhaps the architect was away on business and had to write out instructions and send them to the shop.
该句暂无译文！
第十五段
1 .And another thing to think about: What effect do you suppose this approach would have had on innovation?
该句暂无译文！
第十六段
1 .I mean, since the hired artisans had been trained by other artisans, they tended to be trained to use traditional styles and techniques.
该句暂无译文！
2 .So if you're a master architect, uh, you've developed your own style.
该句暂无译文！
3 .Say you're calling for certain detail in the building you're designing, right?
该句暂无译文！
4 .And say this detail is different, purposely different, from the established tradition, the established style.
该句暂无译文！
第十七段
1 .Well, most likely when the hired artisans would execute the design, rather than follow the intended design, they would stick with the more traditional style that they were familiar with.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Workers would have to be supervised very closely to prevent this from happening.
该句暂无译文！
3 .Otherwise, as it often happened, there goes the designer's style and creativity.
