Idols and Museum Pieces : The Nature of Sculpture, its Historiography and Exhibition History 1640-1880
ISBN: 9783110406917 / Angielski / Twarda / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The publication of Winckelmann's Geschichte der Kunst des Altertums in 1764 is considered as the defining moment in the genesis of the modern, scientific study of sculpture. It was a formalist and secular history, concentrating on the statue as a work of art, and studying sculpture in a museum setting, abstracting from its original religious, social or political functions. Other 17th- and 18th-century authors tried to understand those functions and why statues so often excited violent reactions ranging from adoration to abuse. The collection of essays aims to be a first... The publication of Winckelmann's Geschichte der Kunst des Altertums in 1764 is considered as the defining moment in the genesis of the mod... |
