Annotation	The article is devoted to the Neoplatonic philosophy of the Renaissance and its interpretation in art. The relevance of the topic is determined by the acuteness of the modern dichotomy: natural – cultural. It is addressed to the first attempt of justification of the natural principle in man at the dawn of modernity. Genetic and comparative methods are used in the work. L. M. Batkin’s concept of the Renaissance culture has had a significant methodological impact. The subject of analysis was the specificity of Renaissance Neoplatonism, those changes in its anthropology and ethics that distinguish it not only from Christianity but also from the ancient Neoplatonism. As a result of the study, the thesis was confirmed that the dialogue of Christianity and Neoplatonism always took place in the Renaissance philosophy. However, the understanding of the character of relationship between the teachings underwent a transformation, moving from Italy to the Alps. It changed from the stressing their identity to pointing out their opposites. Metaphysical preconditions for changes in the understanding of man and the moral ideal are revealed. The novelty of the work is a synchronous description of the phases of the transformation in philosophers’ and artists’ attitude to the ideal of man, expressed in Neoplatonic philosophy. It is concluded that the same dynamics of the attitude toward the Neoplatonic revaluation of values is observed both in philosophy and in art: from taking it seriously to self-irony and returning to Christian moral values.
Key words	Renaissance, Neoplatonism, Christianity, ethics, anthropology, irony, art
