Old Masters in New Colours
The study of the artworks of the Old Masters has long been the prerogative of art historians alone. Expertise and other art-historical methods can now make much greater use than ever before of the findings of the so-called exact sciences. These make it possible to acquire new knowledge about works of art of the past that is not obvious to our eyes. Imaging and instrumental methods for the study of works of art often allow us to literally “look into the painting”, below the surface of what we see, and observe the work in different areas of the invisible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, for example. By using various research methods – with the necessary caution and awareness of the...
Byzantine Images and their Afterlives
The twelve papers written for this volume reflect the wide scope of Annemarie Weyl Carr's interests and the equally wide impact of her work. The concepts linking the essays include the examination of form and meaning, the relationship between original and copy, and reception and cultural identity in medieval art and architecture. Carr’s work focuses on the object but considers the audience, looks at the copy for retention or rejection of the original form and meaning, and always seeks to understand the relationship between intent and perception. She examines the elusive nature of ’center’ and ’periphery’, expanding and enriching the discourse of manuscript production, icons and the...
A Companion to the Renaissance in Southern Italy (1350–1600)
A Companion to the Renaissance in Southern Italy offers readers unfamiliar with Southern Italy an introduction to different aspects of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century history and culture of this vast and significant area of Europe, situated at the center of the Mediterranean. Commonly regarded as a backward, rural region untouched by the Italian Renaissance, the essays in this volume paint a rather different picture. The expert-written contributions present a general survey of the most recent research on the centers of southern Italy, as well as insight into the ground-breaking debates on wider themes, such as the definition of the city, continuity and discontinuity at the turn of the s...
Le icone postbizantine in Sicilia
Mentre nell’Europa Occidentale si afferma in età moderna la nuova cultura artistica sia sul fronte fiammingo che su quello italiano sulla base del superamento dei formulari bizantini e dell’affermazione di nuove concezioni artistiche quali la resa della realtà attraverso la prospettiva, il ritorno alla cultura classica, il nuovo modo di concepire le norme figurative nella resa del divino, nell’Oriente Mediterraneo e in vari paesi dell’Europa Orientale si configura e si consolida dopo la caduta di Bisanzio nel 1453 una nuova realtà unitaria e ancora fedelissima ai canoni sanciti dai Concili e al classicismo dell’età paleologa. La storiografia che si è occupata della cultura art...
Central Europe as a Meeting Point of Visual Cultures
The end of World War I in 1918 meant a radical transformation of Central Europe: the multicultural space of former empires became divided into individual nation-states. This altered all spheres of life, deeply impacting the discipline of art history as well. The cosmopolitan vision of art history developed by figures from the Vienna School such as Franz Wickhoff and Alois Riegl was gradually replaced by new self-referential narratives. This nationalist tendency was reinforced by the division of Europe after World War II. In the wake of Jiří Kroupa’s pioneering studies, this volume takes a truly transcultural approach to art produced in the Central European region from the 12th to the 20th century. Freed from national prejudices, a region shaped by the constant movement of people, ideas, and objects emerges.
Le battaglie dei cavalieri
La storia militare è fatta di strategie, logistica, tecniche e tecnologie. Ma è soprattutto una storia di uomini. Ed è questo il volto delle vicende belliche che racconta Marco Scardigli analizzando le battaglie avvenute sul suolo italiano dall'invasione longobarda, nel VI secolo, al Trecento.
