In the history of art drawing has played various roles, was something essentially ministerial and subordinate in relation to painting, architecture and sculpture. It was only at the root of modern painting in Renaissance that drawing was attributed quite a different function. Disegno gave Renaissance painters the chance to experiment with visualization, gave them a preview of the image, even before the final finish, and above all offered the possibility of creative searching, probing how imaginative categories may be transposed to the graphics code. Thus Quattrocento very much combines disegno with meditation, and meditation was primarily related to the sphere of the intellect, and therefore disegno itself was treated as a visual notation of a thought.
