The main objective of the study is to determine how the archaistic style was used, what prototypes were imitated, what subjects were represented, how the replicas of statue types were distributed, how these statues were displayed, and what prompted such stylistic anachronism.
The introductory chapter deals with general problems of archaism in ancient art and the specific... This book deals with the use of archaistic stylistic elements (i.e., those which revive or imitate features of Greek Archaic art) in free standing sta...

Isis Und Ihre Dienerinnen in Der Kunst Der Römischen Kaiserzeit
ISBN: 9789004093126 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Das Thema des Buches ist der Isiskult wahrend der romischen Kaiserzeit, wie er in zahleichen Darstellungen der agyptischen Gottin und solcher ihr angeglichener Frauen zum Ausdruck kommt. Wahrend sich dadurch zum einen diese Frauen ganz allgemein als Dienerinnen der Isis zu erkennen geben, fallt zum anderen ein besonderes Licht auf die zur Angleichung ausgewahlten Bilder der Gottin. Dabei handelt es sich, anders als bei den meisten bekannten Isistypen, um keine mythologisch erklarbaren Gottesbilder. Sie sind deshalb der Forschung ebenso ratselhaft geblieben wie die entsprechend angeglichenen...

Façade as Spectacle: Ritual and Ideology at Wells Cathedral
ISBN: 9789004138407 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This interdisciplinary study interprets the facade of Wells Cathedral as an integral part of thirteenth-century English Church liturgy and politics. Carolyn Malone posits that architectural motifs, as signs, complemented not only the facade's sculptural program of the Church Triumphant but also its use during liturgical processions. Interpreted as an ideological construct, the facade's design is related to theological change, liturgical innovation and political strategy, as well as to the conjuncture of several major historical and cultural events of the 1220s. As part of the Church's...

This book provides a wealth of reference...
