ISBN: 9781497461826 / Hiszpański / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A menudo intuimos que las cosas no son lo que parecen, las gentes de otras epocas se complacian en descubrir y velar al mismo tiempo aquellas ideas que, por su sutileza, no pueden ser expresadas de otro modo. Nuestra relacion con las palabras se parece mucho a la de un drogadicto con su droga, las necesitamos para todo, exigimos explicaciones razonadas y razonables, y creemos que basta usar palabras para resolver los problemas. La gente de otros tiempos no usaba ni necesitaba tantas palabras, por ejemplo, todos los dichos de Cristo, caben en unas pocas paginas, Cuantas paginas habran escrito...

In this study, originally published in 1926, Sir Charles Walston sets forward his theory on the 'turning-point' in Classical Greek art in the second quarter of the fifth century BC, which he connects with the creation of the western pediment of the Temple of Olympia by the sculptor Alcamenes.

Distorted Ideals in Greek Vase-Painting: The World of Mythological Burlesque
ISBN: 9781107669659 / Angielski / Miękka / 445 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines Greek vase-paintings that depict humorous, burlesque, and irreverent images of Greek mythology and the gods. Many of the images present the gods and heroes as ridiculous and ugly. While the narrative content of some images may appear to be trivial, others address issues that are deeply serious. When placed against the background of the religious beliefs and social frameworks from which they spring, these images allow us to explore questions relating to their meaning in particular communities. Throughout, we see indications that Greek vase-painters developed their own...

Antiquity, Theatre, and the Painting of Henry Fuseli
ISBN: 9780198709275 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The rediscovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum in the eighteenth century challenged European assumptions about ancient life; just as influential, if quieter, was the revolution caused by translations of Greek tragedy. Art of the mid-eighteenth to early nineteenth centuries dealt with the violence and seeming irrationality of tragic action as an account of the rituals and beliefs of a foreign culture, worshipping strange gods and enacting unfamiliar customs. The result was a focus on the radical difference of the past which, however, was thought to still have something to teach us: not how to live...

Art and Society in Cyprus from the Bronze Age Into the Iron Age
ISBN: 9781107683969 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dramatic social and political change marks the period from the end of the Late Bronze Age into the Iron Age (c.1300-700 BCE) across the Mediterranean. Inland palatial centers of bureaucratic power weakened or collapsed c.1200 BCE while entrepreneurial exchange by sea survived and even expanded, becoming the Mediterranean-wide network of Phoenician trade. At the heart of that system was Kition, one of the largest harbor cities of ancient Cyprus. Earlier research has suggested that Phoenician rule was established at Kition after the abandonment of part of its Bronze Age settlement. A...

Art and Rhetoric in Roman Culture
ISBN: 9781107000711 / Angielski / Twarda / 524 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rhetoric was fundamental to education and to cultural aspiration in the Greek and Roman worlds. It was one of the key aspects of antiquity that slipped under the line between the ancient world and Christianity erected by the early Church in late antiquity. Ancient rhetorical theory is obsessed with examples and discussions drawn from visual material. This book mines this rich seam of theoretical analysis from within Roman culture to present an internalist model for some aspects of how the Romans understood, made and appreciated their art. The understanding of public monuments like the Arch of...
