INVENIT Meaning and
Definition
-
Invenit is a Latin word that is commonly used in the field of art to describe the attribution of authorship or the artist responsible for creating a particular work. Derived from the verb "invenire," which means "to find" or "to discover," invenit is often included in art compositions, particularly paintings, alongside the artist's signature. It is typically abbreviated as "inv." and followed by the name of the artist.
The inclusion of invenit in artworks is done to acknowledge the creative genius behind the piece and to ensure that the artist receives proper recognition for their work. It signifies that the artist not only physically executed the artwork but also conceived and designed it. Invenit is commonly seen in art from the Renaissance period onwards, as artists began to gain individual recognition and their contributions to the artistic process became more appreciated.
The use of invenit is not limited to a specific style or period of art; it can be found in various artistic movements and genres. It acts as a way to authenticate the work and to establish a connection between the artist and their creation. Invenit plays an essential role in art history, allowing scholars, collectors, and art enthusiasts to trace the origins and provenance of artworks, providing valuable insights into the artistic process and the evolution of art over time.
