Abstract: During the Renaissance, time and space have been generally embodied in the artistic creation as a knowledge foundation. Classic case is the perspective method, which isnt used to render the object's objective authenticity, but to present the subjective authenticity matching human's visual perception. According to Kant's inference that object conforms to the knowledge, sensible intuition is the premise and means of the knowledge production. However, the pure form of sensible intuition is characterized by time and space, and bears in the mind. Kant's inference emphasizes that objects should conform to human's mind. This Copernicus cognition is a natural conclusion of Kant's spiritualization of space and time. However, the space time consciousness of the Renaissance requires that objects should conform to human's visual perception. Object recognition is a sensory experience of the world, which conforms to the perspective knowledge, and is also spiritualized. This is the meaning of the time and space consciousness of the Renaissance, which has the meaning of Kants time and space.

Key words: Renaissance, Kant, vision, space time, objective authenticity, subjective authenticity
