The Sinister Side: How Left-Right Symbolism Shaped Western Art
ISBN: 9780199230860 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Sinister Side is the first book to detail the richness and subtlety of left-right symbolism since the Renaissance, and to show how it was a catalyst for some of the greatest works of visual art from Leonardo and Michelangelo to Rembrandt and Picasso. Traditionally, the left side was regarded as evil, weak, and worldly, but with the Renaissance, artists began to represent the left side as the side that represented authentic human feelings and especially love. Writers including Lorenzo de' Medici, Michelangelo, and Winckelmann hailed the supreme moral and aesthetic beauty of the left side....

The Death of Elizabeth I - Analysis of Contemporary Prose Texts
ISBN: 9783639021974 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The death of the last Tudor monarch, Queen Elizabeth I, 24 March 1603, obviously inspired many of the contemporaries to record the last days or hours of the Virgin Queen. Although the after-ages tend to use the textual witnesses as primary sources to capture the event, some of them are worth approaching not only as mere narratives but as personal interpretations of the experience carrying subjective fingerprints of the authors. The work presents a comparative analysis of five different pre-selected prose texts written by contemporaries each standing relatively close to the court. The author...

Self-Representation in German Art
ISBN: 9783639026696 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study investigates the relationship between the history of self-portraiture in German art and the historical question of a collective identity. I propose that the turn to the image of the self demonstrates a narcissistic position in which the subject attempts a transformation of its selfobjects, or figures which mediate a sense of identity. The book begins with the appearance of the autonomous self-portrait with the Renaissance artist Albrecht Durer. It then looks at the Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich and his use of melancholy as both a sense of his own self, and German identity...

KADOC Artes 10Based on the cultural insight that "historism"--understood as the projection of the past into the present by artistic means, or the "invention of tradition"--always occurs in close connection with the emergence of nation-states, this volume describes for the first time the cultural and denominational character and development of the Maas-Rhine region during the period between the French Revolution and World War I. Seventeen contributors shed light on the cultural identity of this Catholic-dominated core region of Europe.

Pierre Puvis de Chavannes

An artist of pivotal importance to the generation of post-Impressionists from Seurat and Gauguin to Matisse and Picasso, Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (1824 - 1898) played a crucial role in the history of late-19th-century French art and the development of modernism. He was an artist of great range, originality, and idiosyncratic invention who executed mural complexes, compelling easel paintings, and numerous works on paper. These two companion volumes--a critical study of the artist's life and art, and a catalogue raisonne of his paintings--introduce many of Puvis's works for the first time,...

English-Transylvanian contacts in the 17th century - The Early Stuarts and Transylvania During the Thirty Years` War
ISBN: 9783639032376 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 17th century was an exceptional time in the history of Europe: the religious controversies generated a century before led to continuous conflicts, culminating in the Thirty Years War. It was the century of international leagues as well, with a number of combinations on both sides according to religious or political considerations. This peculiar situation brought far-away parts of Europe together. No wonder the Protestant countries, England and Transylvania, found a common ground of interest: the defence of the Protestant faith and the maintenance of balance under the given circumstances....

The Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin in Spisský Stvrtok
ISBN: 9783639042894 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Traditionally, Gothic architecture has been associated with France; more recently, this narrow perspective has expanded to include the monuments of England, the German lands, the Low Countries, and Bohemia. Despite this amendment, however, the full extent of Gothic architecture in Europe has yet to be adequately acknowledged. This book attempts to remedy this situation by addressing a region neglected by English scholarship: Slovakia. The goal of this study is to pursue the dissemination of Gothic ideas, forms, and systems into and within this area. By focusing on a single monument, the Late...

Roosevelts administration, focusing on the primary likely causes of its economic successes. The author challenges the argument that it was World War II that brought the U.S. out of the Great Depression, and argues that FDRs greatest economic successes were the direct result of the gold and silver purchase programs and the restoration of Americas banking and financial institutions. This book challenges the claim that the U.S. merely transferred the Great Depression to other nations. This analysis of Roosevelts monetary...
