From Conservation To Interpretation - Studies Of Religious Art (C. 1100-C. 1800) In Northern And Central Europe

~~174,90€~~ 139,92€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Technology and conservation are indispensible to our understanding of the history of religious art. Material and technical aspects of historical art works yield a great deal of information about provenance, and thus reflect the cultural networks that characterized the world that produced them. Furthermore, the imagery and decoration of art works express their religious meanings, while details including reworking and damage may inform us about their use (or disuse) in liturgy and devotion. The Swedish conservator and art historian Peter Tangeberg has shown how the insights and methods of art conservation can make important steps in the history of art (not least religious art). He has brought the wealth of medieval and early modern art works in Scandinavia to a European audience and opened up new discussions - as well as stirring up old ones - on a range of aspects, including the transfer of styles and motifs, materials and technologies across Central and Northern Europe. This volume, which is dedicated to Tangeberg by fifteen friends and colleagues on the occasion of his 75th birthday, reflects much of his long and fruitful professional life. All of the contributions pursue a combined perspective on technical/material issues and contextual (mostly liturgical or devotional) aspects. The art works cover the period from c. 1100 to c. 1800 and all originated in the wide area of Tangeberg''s scholarly activity, especially Scandinavia and large parts of Western and Central Europe.

Projections Of Jerusalem In Europe

~~241,15€~~ 192,92€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The centrality of Jerusalem in Christian spirituality has been expressed in a spectrum of material and visual manifestations since biblical times. The present volume is a collection of studies centered on Jerusalem''s physical presence in Europe, manifested through architecturally defined, spatial representations of the city''s various sacred sites and monuments in Italy, Germany, England, Spain, the Netherlands, Russia and the Czech Republic. The essays analyze representations of Jerusalem by situating them within their urban and monastic milieus, tracking literary descriptions, and reconstructing the historical circumstances that impacted their creation and use. The prologue and epilogue contextualize the architectural translations of Jerusalem within wider discussions on film, photography, the cult of relics, and tourism, as well as physical and imagined pilgrimage. This collection of studies is related to Bianca Kuhnel''s Jerusalem Icons in the European Space, published by Peeters in its Art & Religion series, 12.

'Ornamenta Sacra' - Late Medieval And Early Modern Liturgical Objects In A European Context

~~331,25€~~ 265,00€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This volume is dedicated to the study of late medieval and early modern liturgical objects, once known as ornamenta sacra. It encompasses a wide range of objects made of various materials and techniques which are not only essential for the rites, but also hold a central position in the religious and artistic production of the past. The contributions to this volume understand them at the heart of a system of complex relationships which make them contribute to their religious functions, but also to their aesthetic, symbolic and social ones: relationships with the men who commissioned, produced and manipulated them, but also with liturgical time and space; relationships too between these different objects, as also with the prescriptive and spiritual frameworks which dictate or accompany their uses. It is the life of these objects that is here recounted, objects invested with value at one and the same time religious, financial and aesthetic.

Material Cultures Of Devotion In The Age Of Reformations

~~218,63€~~ 174,90€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Northern Europe were characterized by enormous religious change. During this period new religious ideas and ideals gradually took shape and materialized in all aspects of religious life, both on a private level as well as in public and liturgical space. The fundamental question of how God could be experienced as present in the world, became - again - the center of lively debate. Lutheran, Calvinist, Roman Catholic and Anglican reformations - to mention just a selection of the different ideological movements in play during this period - challenged interpretations of the Bible, the sacraments, the communication of religious truth, the practice of devotion and the material expressions of faith. When looking at the European reformations from a transnational perspective, they stand forth as a bundle of fundamentally interwoven religious movements attempting to define their specific religious identity in terms of dissimilarity. Material Cultures of Devotion in the Age of Reformations explores how the visual and material cultures of Christian devotion were adapted, developed, transformed, and, in some cases, disappeared altogether, in the age of reformations, c.1500-1650 in Northern Europe.

Jerusalem Icons In The European Space

de B Kuhnel

~~238,50€~~ 190,80€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Based on scripture, exegesis, and an ongoing dialogue with the Jewish and Islamic presence, Jerusalem maintains a central position in Christian spirituality. After several studies that mapped visual references to the holy city in various other representational media, Bianca Kuhnel dedicates the present volume to the monumental presence of Jerusalem in European Latin Christianity. The works discussed in this book have a spatial dimension, defined by mimetic architecture and mimetic topography brought to life by ritual movement. They consist of the reproductions of key buildings representing Jerusalem''s most sacred sites, standing alone or arranged in clusters. Jerusalem sites throughout the world challenge the usual notions of transfer and representation in the history of art by their number, their variety of means, and their level of historical consistency. This book traces key turning points in the long history of Jerusalem abroad, while defining a common methodological and theoretical framework.

Gaze From Above - Reflections On Cosmic Eyes In Visual Culture

de B. Baert

~~170,93€~~ 136,74€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 When gazing into the vast expanse of ''the universe'', humankind experiences the universal desire to fathom the mystery of its creation. We utilize our unique ability to express ourselves through artistic means to make this mystery tangible, transmuting the secrets of the cosmos into stunning objects and ingenious symbols. Through a deep engagement with recent iconological methods the author travels up and down a methodological Jacob''s ladder, between the artist''s gazes from the earth to the sky. The reader is treated to studies on a wide variety of objects and mediums, ranging from the embroidery of Girone, the Hereford mappa mundi to the genesis cycle in the Saint Mark''s Basilica in Venice. The author reconsiders the iconic gaze of van Eyck''s lamb and enters Danae''s uncanny, voyeuristic space in the painting by Jan Gossaert. Meanwhile, she allows other thinkers to explore these questions alongside her. She turns to Erwin Panofsky, who writes about his fascination with Galileo Galilei''s telescope, and finally Lars von Trier and his movie Melancholia gets to call it Schluss. All the artworks in this captivating book contribute to unravel the largest mystery that surrounds us: the cosmos. The image blooms into the countenance of that majestic, astonishing black pupil above us. Or as Aby Warburg once wrote: "Contemplation of the sky is the grace and the curse of humanity."

Iconology Of Charity - Medieval Legends Of Saint Elizabeth In Central Europe

de I. Gerat

~~123,23€~~ 98,58€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The images analyzed in this book give each viewer the possibility to interact with Saint Elizabeth''s unique spiritual way, which was nurtured by various sources, including moments of spontaneous inspiration. The religious leaders who went on to imagine and commission a visual image understood the enormous potential associated with the religious zeal of the extraordinary noble lady as a shining example offering new paths towards Christian charity. The images represent an important testimony of what happened, or rather how the artist or the patron imagined events from the saint''s life. Elizabeth''s extraordinary individual charity has been a source of inspiration to many of her admirers, but the artists and their patrons must have experienced and considered the needs and desires which characterized their period and the communities they were serving. Once again there has been a significant interval between the over-temporal needs or values and contingent historical situations with changing constellations of interests, medial landscapes and rules of political game. The medieval cult of saint Elizabeth awakened the interest of the most influential political figures of the time. Their individual dialogues with the saint connected resonant spiritual messages, which were valid for the duration of any individual''s lifespan, with transient concerns about political struggles, military fights, or materialistic considerations. As a result, the images are multilayered products reflecting human needs and longings on several levels. This book offers a minuscule testimony from this endless flux of feelings, observations and meditations in an effort to broaden slightly the limited range of human experience.
