Worlds Within: Opening the Medieval Shrine Madonna
ISBN: 9780271064017 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Worlds Within, Elina Gertsman investigates the Shrine Madonnas, or Vierges ouvrantes--sculptures that conceal within their bodies complex carved and/or painted iconographies. The Shrine Madonna emerged in Europe at the end of the 1200s and reached a peak of popularity during the following three centuries. Gertsman argues that the appearance of these objects--predicated as they are on the dynamic of concealment, revelation, and fragmentation--points to the changing roles of vision and sensation in the complex, performative ways in which audiences were expected to engage...

Between 1170 and 1190 in Alsace, Abbess Herrad compiled for her canonesses an elaborate manuscript, the Hortus deliciarum, which combined resplendent images with quotations from more than fifty texts to portray a history of the Christian church across time and through eternity.

ISBN: 9781783271153 / Angielski / Twarda / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The livery collar had a pervasive presence in late-medieval England. Worn about the neck to denote service to a lord, references to the collar abound in government records, contemporary chronicles and correspondence, and many depictions of the collar can be found in illuminated manuscripts and on church monuments.

ISBN: 9781472468390 / Angielski / Twarda / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In early modern Europe, discernment emerged as a key notion at the intersection of various domains in both learned and artisanal cultures.

Art and Optics in the Hereford Map: An English Mappa Mundi, C. 1300
ISBN: 9780300220339 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A single, monumental mappa mundi (world map), made around 1300 for Hereford Cathedral, survives intact from the Middle Ages. As Marcia Kupfer reveals in her arresting new study, this celebrated testament to medieval learning has long been profoundly misunderstood. Features of the colored and gilded map that baffle modern expectations are typically dismissed as the product of careless execution. Kupfer argues that they should rightly be seen as part of the map's encoded commentary on the nature of vision itself. Optical conceits and perspectival games formed part of the map's language...

ISBN: 9781621389873 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Transformation of Nature in Art, Ananda Coomaraswamy explains the theory behind medieval European and Asian art, especially art in India. He further supplements the Indian theory with that of the Chinese. The first principle of Asian art is that art does not exist for its own sake; it exists as means to religious conditions or experience. The comparison with medieval European art in this respect is extremely illuminating. He further shows that both differ radically from post-Renaissance European art.
