Dreaming of Cockaigne: Medieval Fantasies of the Perfect Life
ISBN: 9780231117036 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Imagine a dreamland where roasted pigs wander about with knives in their backs to make carving easy, where grilled geese fly directly into one's mouth, where cooked fish jump out of the water and land at one's feet. The weather is always mild, the wine flows freely, sex is readily available, and all people enjoy eternal youth. Such is Cockaigne. Portrayed in legend, oral history, and art, this imaginary land became the most pervasive collective dream of medieval times-an earthly paradise that served to counter the suffering and frustration of daily existence and to allay anxieties about...

Europe within Reach: Netherlandish Travellers on the Grand Tour and Beyond (1585-1750)
ISBN: 9789004292710 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Europe within Reach Gerrit Verhoeven traces some sweeping evolutions in the early modern travel behaviour of Dutch and Flemish elites (1585-1750), as the classical Grand Tour was slowly but surely overshadowed by other types of travelling. Leisure trips to Paris, London or Berlin, a cours pittoresque along the Rhine, domestic trips in the Low Countries and a series of other destinations gained ground, while new sorts of travellers cropped up: female and middle-class travellers, domestic servants, children, youngsters and the elderly. Verhoeven does not only trace these evolutions,...

Landscape and Religion from Van Eyck to Rembrandt
ISBN: 9781138247840 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Offering a corrective to the common scholarly characterization of seventeenth-century Dutch landscape painting as modern, realistic and secularized, Boudewijn Bakker here explores the long history and purpose of landscape in Netherlandish painting. In Bakker's view, early Netherlandish as well as seventeenth-century Dutch painting can be understood only in the context of the intellectual climate of the day. Concentrating on landscape painting as the careful depiction of the visible world, Bakker's analysis takes in the thought of figures seldom consulted by traditional art historians, such as...
