Collecting and Dynastic Ambition
ISBN: 9781443814010 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Dynastic Ambition, the desire to advance one’s family fortune and reputation, is the reason for all kinds of sometimes bewildering behaviour and activities. Within the study of the history of collecting, many and various motives have been given that underlie the patronage and collecting of art, from personal to public, private to princely, self-interest to philanthropy. A growing interest in the commissioning, collecting and display of art in the early modern period has led to new discussions of the motivation of princes and rulers for the collecting and display of art. Recent historians of...

Cosimo I de’ Medici as Collector: Antiquities and Archaeology in Sixteenth-century Florence
ISBN: 9781443801720 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 590 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Collecting antiquities was a princely pastime that required time, space, money, access to the art market, and to the right advisers. Such collections were gathered in competition with other princes and displayed in the owners’ residences as one of the many manifestations of a choreographed court culture. The aim was to present the prince and collector as a person of taste and discernment; frequently the collection was also used to make political statements that had little to do with an interest in ancient art.Cosimo I de’ Medici (1519-1574) collected antiquities from the moment he became...

Collecting Prints and Drawings
ISBN: 9781443822725 / Twarda / 2018 / 441 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cabinets of prints and drawings are found in the earliest art collections of Early Modern Europe. From the sixteenth century onwards, some of them acquired such fame that the necessity for an ordered and scientific display meant that a dedicated keeper was occasionally employed to ensure that fellow enthusiasts, as well as visiting diplomats, courtiers and artists, might have access to the print room. Often collected and displayed together with drawings, the prints formed a substantial part of princely collections which sometimes achieved astounding longevity as a specialised group of...

Agnolo Bronzino: Medici Court Artist in Context
ISBN: 9781443844123 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Florentine artist Agnolo Bronzino (1503-1572) has long been celebrated as the consummate court painter and his sumptuous portrayals of Duke Cosimo de' Medici and Duchess Eleonora de Toledo have become icons of Italian Renaissance art. In this volume, an international assembly of scholars advances modern perceptions of Bronzino's art by applying fresh research paradigms not only to the well-known portraits, but also to other painted subjects, frescoes, and tapestries within the context of ancient Roman precedents, Renaissance European court culture, and postmodernist theory. The seven...

Collecting Nature
ISBN: 9781443860550 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Nature can be collected in many forms and shapes: live animals have been locked up in cages, displayed in zoos and menageries, and their hides and dried body parts were used as part of the set-up in galleries and studies. Plants from far-away countries have been cultivated in botanical gardens and in hothouses. Even the depiction of medicinal plants and of prized animals was regarded as an important part of the decorative scheme.Recent research has also shown that artificialia and naturalia were shown side by side in early modern Europe - sometimes in the company of scientifica - and that the...

Collecting East and West
ISBN: 9781443847797 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. If collecting the rare and valuable is an entirely normal trait of human behaviour, amassing objects from far-away places has also long played a role in the history of collecting. East and West, or North and South, for that matter, are of course entirely relative to one's particular geographical position. Therefore, it is interesting that collecting exotic objects is an endeavour that unites humanity over millennia and round the globe. The ancient Assyrians did so as assiduously as eighteenth-century collectors in Paris or London; Chinese emperors collected Western art and artefacts at a time...

Women Patrons and Collectors
ISBN: 9781443834643 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In looking at the history of collecting, one may be excused for regarding it as an activity in which, traditionally, women have shown little interest or in which they have not been involved. As the present volume shows, women-particularly aristocratic women-not only resisted this discrimination through the ages, but also built important collections and used them to their own advantage, in order to make statements about their lineage, power, cultural heritage or religious preferences. That is not to say that there was not an increasing number of middle-class women who became draughtswomen,...
