The Enthroned Corpse of Charlemagne: The Lord-In-Majesty Theme in Early Medieval Art and Life
ISBN: 9780786427673 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work focuses on a wholly new explanation for the dramatic appearance of Charlemagne's body by studying various historical traditions and cultural contexts (most largely unexplored by medievalists).

Painterly Perspective and Piety: Religious Uses of the Vanishing Point, from the 15th to the 18th Century
ISBN: 9780786435050 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. While the Renaissance is generally perceived to be a secular movement, the majority of large artworks executed in 15th century Italy were from ecclesiastical commissions. Because of the nature of primarily basilica-plan churches, a parishioner's view was directed by the diminishing parallel lines formed by the walls of the structure. Appearing to converge upon a mutual point, this resulted in an artistic phenomenon known as the vanishing point. As applied to ecclesiastical artwork, the Catholic Vanishing Point (CVP) was deliberately situated upon or aligned with a given object - such as the...

Our Lady of Guadalupe: The Painting, the Legend and the Reality
ISBN: 9780786426676 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. According to legend, on December 8, 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared to the newly Christianized Juan Diego on the Mexican hill of Tepeyacac. As proof of her divine visit, she miraculously imprinted her image upon his mantle. That image, known as Our Lady of Guadalupe, has become a symbol of national consciousness in Mexico and a talisman for Mexican Americans. Yet its notable features include obviously European artistic techniques. How is it that Renaissance styles are employed in a 16th century Mexican icon supposedly not made by human hands? Looking beyond the divine explanation for...

Inspiration: Bacchus and the Cultural History of a Creation Myth
ISBN: 9789004142794 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Knowledge of the ancient sources of such supposedly "modernist" fixations will make a significant contribution to historical-cultural thinking, particularly by showing in detail the facts of an unrecognized evolutionary continuity. In order to personify "Inspiration," this study initially focuses upon Michelangelo's Bacchus of 1496, so revealing now-forgotten meanings once typically to be attached in a...
