Art and Magic in the Court of the Stuarts
ISBN: 9780415756167 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Spanning from the inauguration of James I in 1603 to the execution of Charles I in 1649, the Stuart court saw the emergence of a full expression of Renaissance culture in Britain.

Inigo Jones (1573-1652) is widely acknowledged to have been England's most important architect.

Art and Magic in the Court of the Stuarts
ISBN: 9780415090315 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hart examines the influence of magic on Renaissance art, in the context of the first Stuart court. Court artists sought to represent magic as an expression of the Divine Right of the Stuart kings, and later of their policy of absolutism, through masques, sermons, heraldry, gardens, architecture and processions. As such, magic of the kind enshrined in Neoplatonic philosophy, and the court art which expressed its cosmology, played their part in the complex causes of the Civil War and the destruction of the Stuart image which ensued.
