Martin Kemp
Once upon a time, in the vibrant streets of Islington, North London, a star was born. Martin John Kemp came into the world on October 10, 1961, destined to leave an indelible mark on the realms of music, acting, and television.Martin's journey into the limelight began early, nurtured by a supportive family and ignited by a passion for performance. Raised alongside his brother Gary, the two embarked on a creative odyssey that would shape their futures. From their humble beginnings attending the Anna Scher Theatre drama club, where Martin's talents first began to shine, to gracing the screens of iconic TV shows like "Jackanory," "The Tomorrow People," and "Dixon of Dock Green," Martin's early years were marked by a relentless pursuit of his artistic dreams.But it was music that truly captured Martin's heart. A serendipitous encounter with Steve Dagger, manager of his brother Gary's band, sparked a transformation. Martin's swift mastery of the bass guitar saw him joining the ranks of what would become the iconic new wave band, Spandau Ballet. The band's meteoric rise to fame during the New Romantic era, with chart-toppers like "True," cemented Martin's place in musical history.

Visions of Heaven
Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the greatest European writers, whose untrammelled imaginative capacity was matched by a huge base in embracing the science of his era. His texts also paint compelling visual images. In Visions of Heaven, renowned scholar Martin Kemp investigates Dante's supreme vision of divine light and its implications for the visual artists who were the inheritors of Dante's vision. The whole book may be regarded as a new Paragone (comparison), the debate that began in the Renaissance about which of the arts is superior. Dante's ravishing accounts of divine light set painters the severest challenge, which took them centuries to meet. A major theme running through Dante's Divine Comedy, particularly in its third book, the Paradiso, centres on Dante's acts of seeing (conducted according to optical rules with respect to the kind of visual experience that can be accomplished on earth) and the overwhelming of Dante's earthly senses by heavenly light, which does not obey his rules of earthly optics. The repeated blinding of Dante by excessive light sets the tone for artists' portrayal of unseeable brightness.
