European Art of the Seventeenth Century
This volume presents the most noteworthy concepts, artists, and cultural centers of the seventeenth century through a close examination of many of its greatest paintings, sculptures, and buildings. The Baroque, rooted in classicism but with a new emphasis on emotionalism and naturalism, was the leading style of the seventeenth century. The movement exhibited both stylistic complexity and great diversity in its subject matter, from large religious works and history paintings to portraits, landscapes, and scenes of everyday life. Masters of the era included Caravaggio, whose innovations in the dramatic uses of light and shadow influenced many of the century's artists, notably Rembrandt; the sculptor, painter, and architect Bernini, with his combination of technical brilliance and expressiveness; and other familiar names such as Rubens, Poussin, Velázquez, and Vermeer. This was the era of absolute monarchs, including Spain's Habsburgs and Louis XIII and XIV of France, whose artistic patronage helped furnish their opulent palaces. But a new era of commercialism, in which artists increasingly catered to affluent collectors of the professional and merchant classes, also flourished.

Augustine in Iconography
Augustine in Iconography: History and Legend has a threefold design: exploration of literary sources; reviews of pertinent archeology; and accounts of individual and cyclical illustrations. One hundred and thirty-two topics in the iconography of the bishop of ancient Hippo, both historical and legendary, are ascertained and analyzed; the historical and archeological background of Augustine's career, cult, and monastic influence are surveyed; four Augustinian cycles are examined; and various individual portraits of Augustine are studied.
A ordem do capital
Por mais de um século, diferentes países e governos enfrentaram crises financeiras ao aplicar cortes em políticas públicas e precarizar as relações de trabalho. Embora tenham sido bem-sucedidos em acalmar os credores e o mercado, os efeitos no bem-estar social e econômico da classe trabalhadora foram devastadores. Em tempos de crises e incertezas, a austeridade continua sendo praticada em todo o globo. A ordem do capital, de Clara Mattei, é um estudo profundo e interdisciplinar sobre a relação entre austeridade e ascensão do fascismo. Voltando ao início do século XX, a economista traça as origens da austeridade no entreguerras na Grã-Bretanha e na Itália, revelando como a aut...
The Society of Renaissance Florence
The Society of Renaissance Florence is an invaluable collection of 132 original Florentine documents dating from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and covering a wide range of subjects from taxes to social mobility, to family, death, and civic life, to violence, crime, and morality. Also included are seldom seen documents addressing the state of the poor and such groups as Jews, heretics, sorcerers, and homosexuals. These documents are examples of the raw material with which the historian works, as he attempts to describe social structures, patterns of behavior, and value systems. They should convey some sense of the complexity of this society, and of the formidable task which confronts the student who seeks to generalize about its character ... They can serve as models for the student interested in the problems of urban history in pre-industrial Europe.
