Raphael to Renoir
"The works from the Bonna Collection are illustrated in color, and whenever possible, at their actual sizes. They are arranged chronologically by the artist's date of birth and are grouped according to the main artistic schools. This volume is introduced by an interview with Jean Bonna by George Goldner.

An examination of the diverse roles exotic animals, both living species and depicted as motifs in art, played in the fashioning of the Medici’s courtly identity.
Arcimboldo
In Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s most famous paintings, grapes, fish, and even the beaks of birds form human hair. A pear stands in for a man’s chin. Citrus fruits sprout from a tree trunk that doubles as a neck. All sorts of natural phenomena come together on canvas and panel to assemble the strange heads and faces that constitute one of Renaissance art’s most striking oeuvres. The first major study in a generation of the artist behind these remarkable paintings, Arcimboldo tells the singular story of their creation. Drawing on his thirty-five-year engagement with the artist, Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann begins with an overview of Arcimboldo’s life and work, exploring the artist’s early years ...
Knowing Nature in Early Modern Europe
Today we are used to clear divisions between science and the arts. But early modern thinkers had no such distinctions, with ‘knowledge’ being a truly interdisciplinary pursuit. Each chapter of this collection presents a case study from a different area of knowledge.
Visual Voyages
An unprecedented visual exploration of the intertwined histories of art and science, of the old world and the new From the voyages of Christopher Columbus to those of Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Darwin, the depiction of the natural world played a central role in shaping how people on both sides of the Atlantic understood and imaged the region we now know as Latin America.

It also yielded a rich trove of representations, created both by natives to the region and visitors, which are the subject of this lushly illustrated book. Author Daniela Ble...
Le sirene del corporativismo e l’isolamento dei dissidenti durante il fascismo
Il volume raccoglie nove saggi su rilevanti vicende della politica, dell’economia e del diritto in Italia durante il fascismo. Alcuni di questi scritti fanno emergere gli obiettivi del corporativismo, che ambiva al rinnovamento della politica, delle istituzioni e della cultura, ma che non raramente scadeva in posizioni illusorie e retoriche. Sul fronte economico si illustrano la discussa abolizione dell’imposta di successione nel 1923 e le proposte degli economisti per uscire dalla Grande Depressione del 1929. Si indaga il rapporto del legislatore fascista con la giustizia amministrativa, dedicando anche attenzione al tema del linguaggio giurisdizionale. Una specifica riflessione investe il rapporto tra meridionalismo e fascismo; e l’influenza della filosofia del corporativismo sull’economista matematico Bruno de Finetti. A ispirare una parte del titolo del libro, viene presentato infine il pensiero di Carlo Rosselli, che pagò a caro prezzo la sua dissidenza.
