Carlo Crivelli
Venetian artist Carlo Crivelli (c. 1430–1495) is a painter whose individuality of style and mastery of powerful line have fascinated many, but whose life and art have remained enigmatic. This absorbing book, drawing on extensive research in Venice and the Marches, the region of central Italy that Crivelli dominated artistically from 1468 until his death, examines his paintings in depth and traces the fundamental influences of the Vivarini, of Squarcione and Mantegna, and later of Flemish art. Ronald Lightbown, eminent historian of Italian Renaissance art, interweaves stylistic and iconographical analysis of Crivelli’s work with historical and cultural background. The author uncovers the reasons that led patrons to choose the saints that figured in Crivelli’s altarpieces, discusses the initiations of new cults and the devising of an iconography for them, and demonstrates Crivelli’s independence from clerical dictation in the symbolism of his still-life pictures.
Sediments and Water Interactions
The first symposium on sediment/freshwater interactions was held in Amsterdam, in 1976, and the second was held at Kingston, Ontario, Canada, in 1981. The third symposium was held at the University of Geneva, in 1984, and also included a num ber of contributions dealing with sediment/saltwater interactions. It is expected that future symposia of this series will retain this approach, and that the revised sympo sium title will remain the same for later proceedings of these meetings. Because of the large number of submissions in 1984, many were given as poster presentations. Extended abstracts of all contributions to the Geneva symposium appear in Interactions Between Sediments and Ubter (C. E...
The Ashes of Lou Gehrig and Other Baseball Essays
The parents and widow of Lou Gehrig were so concerned about the potential desecration of his grave that they considered moving his ashes to the Hall of Fame. Officials embraced the idea of creating a mausoleum for baseball greats, but the idea was killed by Gehrig's wife--whose cryptic remarks leave us wondering to this day about the disposition of his remains. Kirst's essay on Gehrig's ashes and numerous other essays are put together from dozens of personal interviews with baseball characters. Babe Dahlgren claims he was blacklisted for rumors of marijuana use; Babe Ruth sends a note to a child stricken with polio--a note nearly lost when the family moved, and the first physical confirmatio...
Operare i forti
Nel 1891 a Roma fu completato un campo trincerato composto di quindici forti difensivi. L'inattesa invenzione di nuove armi da guerra rese il progetto inutilizzabile e ridusse i forti a generiche zone militari. Molte di queste strutture versano oggi in stato di abbandono. Con il passare degli anni l'espansione urbana le ha inglobate rendendole ambiti degradati ma anche potenziali occasioni di riscatto per quartieri cresciuti su basi speculative. Insieme ai loro compendi i forti occupano notevoli estensioni di territorio sottratto al pubblico e inutilizzato. Questo studio propone nuove modalità di intervento su tale preziosa e trascurata eredità per individuarne destinazioni d'uso attuali e recuperare un patrimonio comune che tutti rischiamo di perdere. Saggi e contributi di : Piero Ostilio Rossi, Andrea Bruschi, Simone Ferretti, Paola Guarini, Anna Giovannelli, Andrea Grimaldi, Luigi Tamborrino.

Piero della Francesca and the Invention of the Artist
As one of the most innovative and enlightened painters of the early Italian Renaissance, Piero della Francesca brought space, luminosity, and unparalleled subtlety to painting. In addition, Piero invented the role of the modern artist by becoming a traveler, a courtier, a geometrician, a patron, and much else besides. In this nuanced account of this great painter’s life and art, Machtelt Brüggen Israëls reconstructs how Piero came of age. Successfully demystifying the persistent notion of Piero’s art as enigmatic, she reveals the simple and stunning intentions behind his work.
