Raphael
Giorgio Vasari qualifiait Raphaël d'artista aggraziato, artiste touché par la grâce. Sans doute s'agit-il encore de l'une des plus justes manières d'évoquer l'oeuvre de l'un des plus grands créateur de la renaissance italienne, aux côté de Michel-Ange et Léonard de Vinci. L'auteur réexamine toutes les grandes périodes de sa courte carrière, qu'il débarasse de poncifs accumulés au fil des siècles. Il garde à l'esprit la composante la plus profonde de son art: son rapport à la beauté liée à la dialectique de l'amour terrestre et de l'amour céleste, qui au tournant du XVème et du XVIème siècles, était au coeur du débat de la philosophie d'amour, mais à laquelle il su ...
Michelangelo
One of the outstanding figures in the history of art, Michelangelo's towering talents dominate the high Renaissance. From the age of thirteen, when his father reluctantly allowed him to join the workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio as an apprentice, up to his death at the age of eighty-nine, his life was dedicated to the arts of painting, sculpture and architecture. In each field he has left incomparable masterpieces: among them the astonishing frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, which recent restoration has revealed to modern eyes in an entirely new light; sculptures like David and the Pietà; and St. Peter's in Rome. Michelangelo's biographer, Vasari, wrote that 'in his passion for the arts, Miche...

A comprehensive re-assessment of Raphael's artistic achievement and the ways in which it transformed the idea of what art is.
The Arma Christi in Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture
The Arma Christi, the cluster of objects associated with Christ’s Passion, was one of the most familiar iconographic devices of European medieval and early modern culture. From the weapons used to torment and sacrifice the body of Christ sprang a reliquary tradition that produced active and contemplative devotional practices, complex literary narratives, intense lyric poems, striking visual images, and innovative architectural ornament. This collection displays the fascinating range of intellectual possibilities generated by representations of these medieval ’objects,’ and through the interdisciplinary collaboration of its contributors produces a fresh view of the multiple intersection...
A Complex Delight
"A Complex Delight is the work of a seasoned and mature scholar offering us a careful and nuanced study that pushes us into a new territory of reflection while providing an exciting way of looking at the subject. The work will make a vital contribution to the historical analysis of culture and religion. This book is a wonderful intellectual and visual romp that will spark the imagination and satisfy the mind's quest for fresh historical understanding."—Wilson Yates, Professor Emeritus of Religion, Art and Society, United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities "Margaret Miles' interdisciplinary study of the 'concealing and revealing' of the breast in art during the Renaissance and Baroque styles weaves together relevant issues in the history of art and theology. She offers a study grounded in solid research with informed commentary and her handling of the textual and visual evidence from these cultures is objective, respectful and decorous. This book will be of considerable interest to students of the visual culture, religious imagery, and social history of Early Modern Europe."—Heidi J. Hornik, Professor of Italian Renaissance and Baroque Art History, Baylor University
