Renaissance Siena: Art In Context (Sixteenth Century Essays &, Studies, V. 71.)

2005 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionThe art of Renaissance Siena is usually viewed in the light of developments and accomplishments achieved elsewhere, but Sienese artists were part of a dynamic dialogue that was shaped by their city?s internal political turmoil, diplomatic relationships with its neighbors, internal social hierarchies, and struggle for self-definition. These essays lead scholars in a new and exciting direction in the study of the art of Renaissance Siena, exploring the cultural dynamics of the city andits art in a specifically Sienese context. This volume shapes a new understanding of Sienese culture in the early modern period and defines the questions scholars will continue to ask for years to come. What emerges is a picture of Renaissance Siena as acity focused on meeting the challenges of the time while formulating changes to shape its future. Central to these changes are the city?s efforts to fashion a civic identity through the visual arts. [detailed...]

Gaia Servadio
Renaissance Woman

2005 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book Description The Renaissance created a new vision of womanhood and indeed a `New Woman`, proposes Gaia Servadio in this fresh take on Renaissance history. Servadio dates the birth of this development not to the traditionally quoted year of 1492 but to the invention of the printing press in 1456, which made books--and hence education--available to women. Central to her story are the lives of women such as Vittoria Colonna, whose extraordinary mutual love with Michelangelo is told here, Tullia d`Aragona, poet and the best known courtesan of her age, and French poet Louise Labe, who fought battles in male clothes. She follows these new women through the rise--and fall--of the Renaissance in Italy and France, moving northwards to the Low Countries and, in the person of Elizabeth I, to England. They are placed center stage to the Renaissance`s power plays, paintings and architecture, courtesans and popes, music and manners, fashion, food, cosmetics, changing societies and [detailed...]

Renaissance to Rococo: Masterpieces from the Collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art

2004 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionWhen the Wadsworth Atheneum opened in 1844 as the first public gallery of fine arts in America, the highlights of the collection were works by contemporary American artists. However, gifts soon brought a number of old master paintings to the museum, and today perhaps the most famous aspect of its fine European painting collection is the concentration of Italian Baroque masterpieces. The museum`s distinguished director in the 1930s and 1940s, Chick Austin, acquired notable examples by Strozzi, Luca Giordano, and the first authentic Caravaggio in an American museum. Today the Atheneum can present an exhibition beginning with such Renaissance masters as Piero di Cosimo and Sebastiano del Piombo, continuing with the finest examples of Baroque painting, and culminating in a blaze of rococo splendor with Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Melendez, Greuze, and Goya. This catalogue includes a history of the collection by Eric Zafran and entries on the individual paintings by [detailed...]

Rendering the Word in Theological Hermeneutics

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate
Description: This book proposes an original typology for grasping the differences between diverse types of biblical interpretation, fashioned in a triangle around a major theological and philosophical lacuna: the relation between divine and human action. Despite their purported concern for reading God`s word, most modern and postmodern approaches to biblical interpretation do not seriously consider the role of divine agency as having a real influence in and on the process of reading Scripture. Mark Bowald seeks to correct and clarify this deficiency by demonstrating the inevitable role that divine agency plays in contemporary proposals in relation to human agency enacted in the composition of the biblical text and the reader. This book presents an important contribution to the emerging field of theological hermeneutics. [detailed...]

Rendezvous in Majorca

Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionRendezvous in Majorca - ISBN 0-9743673-6-2 - a new Hard Cover by author Ian Feldman is a main stream spy thriller. This second novel by the author of spy intrigue and suspense is loaded with historical controversy merged into Feldman?s overriding theme on the real evolution of thermonuclear technology from 1939 and how we are so naive in today?s world about its horrible potential. We don?t really understand the truly massive difference in the destructive power inherent in H-bombs verses the relatively very meager impact of the often over used example of the Atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The energy and drive of Rendezvous in Majorca?s female protagonist, a woman viciously drawn into the complex fast moving vortex of the book?s conspiracy by the Soviet KGB and NKVD, is seemingly thwarted at every turn. Rendezvous in Majorca moves quickly into the Cold War Era with schemes and artifice created by American, Soviet and British espionage [detailed...]

Rene Binet: From Nature to Form

2007 y.
Publisher: Prestel
Description: In the tradition of Ernst Haeckel`s Art Forms in Nature, this exquisite reproduction of French architect and designer Rene Binet`s masterpiece Esquisses decoratives is an inspiring paradigm for artists and designers. The world`s enthusiasm for Art Nouveau reached its apex at The World Fair in Paris in 1900. There Ren Binet created the main entrance, `la Porte Monumentale.` To coincide with the exposition, Binet published in Esquisses decoratives (1896) the plate designs for the gate, along with other sketches of furniture, jewelry, wallpaper, lighting, stained glass windows, signs, wrought iron, and architectural details. The entire collection of Binet`s sketches for Esquisses decoratives are beautifully presented here in color and black and white. Like his renowned gate, they feature the organic structures and intricate embellishments that mirror the great variety of patterns and ornamentation found in the microcosm of nature and epitomize the Art Nouveau aesthetic.

Rene Guenon: Some Observations

2004 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionRene Guenon (18861951) was the founder of the Traditionalist School. Along with Ananda K. Coomaraswamy and Frithjof Schuon, he reintroduced traditional metaphysics and esoterism into the Western world after a lapse of centuries, and was perhaps the first to present the doctrines of the Vedanta, Taoism, and Sufism not as Eurocentric orientalists or occult fantasts had done, but strictly in their own terms. To the mathematical precision of Guenonsmetaphysics, cosmology, and esoteric history, Frithjof Schuon (19071998) added a poetic or musical element, inspired by his close relationship to the Divine Feminine. He also presented the spiritual path as a concrete praxis, involving the spiritual virtues and stations of wisdom, that was not so prominent in Guenons writings. On the other hand, Guenons prophetic eschatology, especially in The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of [detailed...]

Rene Lalique: Exceptional Jewellery 1890-1912

2007 y.
Publisher: SKIRA
Description: Here is a look at Lalique`s creative process through a selection of unusual works - inluding glassware, paintings, jewelery, and fashion designs - that highlight both the technical and aesthetic aspects of his actual craft. Not just another showcase of Lalique art nouveau glories, this catalog includes photographs taken by the artist, preparatory sketches and life-size studies, and the objects that inspired Lalique - as well as finished pieces from a period when he laid the foundations for his style. The authors compare Lalique`s work to that of his creative contemporaries and contextualize his work within the creative arts of the time. They show how Lalique`s creativity was situated among the arts, poetry, and literature of the day, and how he used other art forms to effect a stylistic renewal of jewelery that is still treasured. With stunning images and authoritative essays, this monograph illuminates the full range of this ingenious craftsman. [detailed...]
