简介：This new monograph explores the life and work of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867), one of the most important artists of the nineteenth-century Neoclassical period. In this insightful and unbiased survey, Andrew Shelton provides the readers with a comprehensive portrait of the seventy-year career of this most celebrated artist. He examines Ingres' position within the turbulent society of eighteenth and nineteenth-century France (during his lifetime Ingres witnessed the revolution of 1789, the coronation of Napoleon as Emperor, the restoration of the monarchy, the revolution of 1830 resulting in the July monarchy, the revolution that delivered the Second Republic in 1848 and the rise of the second empire under Napoleon III in 1852) and the effect the shifting balance of power had upon his patrons and their commissions.The text also fully explores the frequent criticisms levelled at Ingres' work during his lifetime and examines how the sometimes amorphous torsos and extended limbs of his figures reflect the artist's obsession with purity of form over explicit realism. Schooled by France's most celebrated classicist, Jacques-Louis David, Ingres won the coveted Prix de Rome at the age of only twenty-one. His prize allowed him to travel to Rome to absorb the styles and techniques of Raphael and other Renaissance masters. His glory was short lived, however, since Ingres' adoration of Raphael, his sombre palette and his obsession with the clarity of line met with years of resistance from the Paris Salon and the burgeoning Romantic Movement, enamoured with the vivid colours of Paul Delaroche and the fluid brushwork of Eugene Delacroix.In time however, the artist's remarkable body of work won him many supporters and in 1825 he was awarded the Order of the Legion of Honour by King Charles X of France and was elected a member of the Academy. Ingres society portraits, including the beautiful likeness of the Comtesse d'Haussonville in New York's Frick Collection, and his languorous images of Turkish harems, such as the Grande Odalisque and the Bather of Valpincon in the Musee du Louvre, had confirmed him as the most famous artist of his age. Following his death in 1867 Ingres was awarded a state funeral with full honours. His students continued to teach the Ingriste style and several of his works were placed in the Musee du Louvre. The upcoming Impressionists of course met such traditional success with some disdain, however Ingres' paintings and his remarkable drawings have undeniably had a profound effect on artists such as Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso and Cindy Sherman amongst many others.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 The first of a projected five-volume series (the other volumes will feature Venice, the northern court cities, Naples, and Florence), this work presents six chronological chapters, each written by a senior scholar in the field, on the art of Rome from 1300-1600. Refreshingly, in a field long characterized by a focus on style, this volume is marked by new research, new methods, and a focus on the broader context of the work of art. The result is a fresh look at Renaissance Rome through discussion of works of painting and sculpture many of them, like Michelangelo's ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, very familiar derived from an analysis of the written sources for the light they shed on many issues, especially the often profound impact of patronage, the influence of ritual and other kinds of use, and trends within the Church, which commissioned much of Rome's art. Ending with an in-depth discussion of the Counter-Reformation, the rich approach employed in this text expands the reader's understanding of the Renaissance beyond the lives of artists and their works. The volume contains a thorough survey of Roman monuments, is written at a level accessible to the beginning undergraduate student, and contains a wealth of excellent (mainly b&w) illustrations, making it suitable for both seminars and lecture courses. The contributors are Meredith Gill (U. of Notre Dame), Steven Ostrow (U. of California, Riverside), Clare Robertson (U. of Reading, UK), Ingrid Rowland (American Academy in Rome), and Hall (Temple U.). Annotation 漏2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 In the period under study here, Rome lived up to its epithet 'The Eternal City'. This is a comprehensive history of the art of Rome in the Renaissance studies; the architecture, sculpture, painting, and decorative arts together in their social, religious, and historical context. Organized around the patronage of the popes, it tells the story of three centuries, in which the eternal city rose from the ashes of its decline in the fourteenth century, when the papal court was transferred to France and then endured the Great Schism of absent and ascending popes. Miraculously, by the first decade of the sixteenth century, under the visionary guidance of Pope Julius II, the artists he commissioned - Bramante, Raphael, and Michelangelo - and the humanists of the papal court with whom he surrounded himself, Rome had established itself as the Christian reembodiment of the Roman Empire.   Publisher Summary 3 Places the arts of the High Renaissance in their social, religious, political and economic context.

简介："An extraordinary explosion of creativity spanning two centuries, the Renaissance shaped the history of modern Europe. Painters, sculptors, designers, and craftsmen were pivotal to the movement, thriving in a prolific cross-fertilization of ideas, and leaving a formidable and enduring legacy in their wake." "In a panorama of the art and architecture of this period, Gordon Campbell examines the leading people of the time - from Bellini, Bruegel, and Botticelli to Grunewald, Raphael, and Titian - as well as their creations - from the Sistine Chapel and Brunelleschi's dome to the Mona Lisa and Michelangelo's David."--BOOK JACKET.

简介：　　I, Titian Norbert Wolf This multi-dimensional exploration of Titian’s life and art is as dynamic as the artist himself. One of the original celebrity artists, Titian was as famous for his beguiling personality as he was for his masterful paintings. I, Titian introduces readers to the Venetian artist with an innovative format that marries Titian’s voice with his works, allowing the artist’s own words to deepen an appreciation of his achievements. An illustrated timeline and a pictorial tour of the galleries where his works now reside reveal how this contemporary of Michelangelo and Raphael broke new ground in nearly every genre of painting: portraiture, altar pieces, the rendering of mythological themes, frescoes, and pastoral landscapes. Numerous superb reproductions illuminate not just the breadth of his oeuvre, but also the mastery with which he employed light and color to lend his paintings the sensuous energy for which he is so admired. Norbert Wolf’s engaging text unlocks many of the mysteries surrounding Titian’s celebrity, making this journey into the artist’s world as intriguing as it is informative. Norbert Wolf is an art historian and guest professor at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. He lives in Munich, Germany.

简介： Classic grace and human grandeur. Influenced by his contemporaries Michelangelo and Leonardo, Raphael Santi (1483-1520) became, in his own right, one of the most important artists of the High Renaissance. Though Raphael painted many important works in his Florence period, including his famous Madonnas, it was his mature work in Rome that cemented his place in history, most notably the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican featuring his School of Athens and Triumph of Religion murals. This overview traces the life's work of this Renaissance master who achieved the height of greatness in only two decades of creation and whose influential work paved the way for the Mannerist and Baroque movements. About the Series: Every book in TASCHEN's "Basic Art Series" features: a detailed chronological summary of the artist's life and work, covering the cultural and historical importance of the artist; approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory captions; and a concise biography.

简介：Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics has been unjustly neglected in comparison with its more famous counterpart the Nicomachean Ethics. This is in large part due to the fact that until recently no complete translation of the work has been available. But the Eudemian Ethics is a masterpiece in its own right, offering valuable insights into Aristotle's ideas on virtue, happiness and the good life. This volume offers a translation by Brad Inwood and Raphael Woolf that is both fluent and exact, and an introduction in which they help the reader to gain a deeper understanding both of the Eudemian Ethics and of its relation to the Nicomachean Ethics and to Aristotle's ethical thought as a whole. The explanatory notes address Aristotle's many references to other works, people and events. The volume will be of interest to students and scholars of the history of ethics, ancient and moral philosophy, and Aristotle studies.

简介：Publisher's description: This book, the last to be completed by the author, is a study of a recurring phenomenon in the history of changing taste in the visual arts, namely the feeling that older and less sophisticated(i.e. 'primitive') works are somehow morally and aesthetically superior to later works that have become soft and decadent. In his first narrative work for over twenty years, Gombrich traces this idea back to classical antiquity and links it both with Cicero's observation thatover-indulgence of the senses leads to a feeling of disgust, and with the profoundly influential metaphor comparing the development of art to that of a living organism. Like an organism, art grows to maturity, then decays and dies, and successive generations of artists andcritics have preferred the strength, nobility and sincerity of earlier styles to the more refined later styles with their corrupting and meretricious appeal to the senses. Summing up more than forty years of study and reflection on this theme, the book presents a closely argued narrative supported by extensive quotations that document with precision the role of authors, critics and artists in shaping and changing opinion. After reviewing the classical authors whose writings largely set the termsof the debate, Gombrich then charts its progress from its revival in the eighteenth century, documenting the often subtle shifts of taste and judgment that frequently focus on the pivotal role of Raphael in the history of taste. Inthe final chapters he turns to the truly revolutionary primitivism of the twentieth century, analyzing the momentous shifts of taste of which he was himself an eyewitness. Important both as a personal testament and as a documentary anthology, this long-awaited book fittingly provides a deep and revealing insight into the history andpsychology of taste.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Starting in the 1490's, Italy passed through a phase of religious conflict, one that anticipated and ran parallel to the Reformations of northern Europe. A season of controversy put religious images newly under scrutiny, provoking radical investigations into their modes and traditions. Could they reliably convey sacred truth and power, and if so, how? Was the artist a transmitter or an interpreter, or both? Did Christian art have its own logic and legitimacy, or was it part of a long series of formal adaptations that began in deep antiquity? The most vocal religious critics in Italy were also, very often, the most refined patrons of art. Skepticism about images was redirected back into the art, again and again turning controversy into an aesthetic occasion. Working at the limits of the available media, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Fra Bartolommeo, Giorgione, Michelangelo, Raphael, Giulio Romano, Andrea Riccio, Rosso Fiorentino, Titian, Michele Sanmicheli, and Jacopo Sansovino successively dismantled and reconstituted the categories of art-making. Hardly capable of sustaining a program of reform, the experimental art of this period was succeeded by a new era of cultural codification in the second half of the sixteenth century. The Controversy of Renaissance Art is a major reappraisal of a critical period of art-making from one of our most acclaimed historians of art.   Publisher Summary 2 Many studies have shown that images鈥攖heir presence in the daily lives of the faithful, the means used to control them, and their adaptation to secular uses鈥攚ere at the heart of the Reformation crisis in northern Europe.聽 But the question as it affects the art of Italy has been raised only in highly specialized studies.聽In this book, Alexander Nagel provides the first truly synthetic study of the controversies over religious images that pervaded Italian life both before and parallel to the Reformation north of the Alps. Tracing the intertwined relationship of artistic innovation and archaism, as well as the new pressures placed on the artistic media in the midst of key developments in religious iconography, The Controversy of Renaissance Art offers an important and original history of humanist thought and artistic experimentation from one of our most acclaimed historians of art.聽

简介：     The classical idealist     French Neoclassical painter Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) was one of the 19th century’s major portrait and historical painters. First trained in drawing by Europe’s most famous classicist painter Jacques-Louis David, Ingres went to Rome in his twenties, where he immersed himself in Greco-Roman art and the works of Raphael, Holbein, and Titian, and, while in Florence in 1819, was greatly influenced by Masaccio. He returned to Paris in 1824 and started his triumphant career. In 1825 he was awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor by King Charles X and was elected a member of the Academy. Though renowned for his painting of Oriental nudes reclining in harems or a Turkish baths, Ingres was also a master draughtsman, perhaps the most significant of the 19th century, and left 4000 sketches and drawings to his home town of Montauban. In opposition to the Romantics, Ingres upheld classical idealism with its clarity of line. His painting had a profound effect on artists like Edgar Degas and Pablo Picasso and influenced, amongst others, Cindy Sherman and David Hockney.

简介："Italian Architecture of the 16th Century is the last published work of the renowned Colin Rowe, the fruit of his four-year collaboration with former student Leon Satkowski. The book is a testament to the buildings, architects, and artists Rowe deeply appreciated. For the millions who travel to Italy to see the art and architecture of the sixteenth century - places that captured Rowe's heart and challenged his fertile mind - this book will be a pleasurable read as much as it is a pinnacle of critical scholarship.". "Italian Architecture is written in an engaging personal style, discussing architecture in historical and contemporary terms. It emphasizes the leading subjects of the sixteenth-century Renaisssance: the architects (Bramante, Vignola), the patrons (Leo X, Cosimo I de Medici), the artists (Michelangelo, Raphael), and the cities (Rome, Venice, Florence). The book is beautifully illustrated with photographs, drawings, and paintings. An engaging history and the finest critique of cinquecento Italy, Italian Architecture is destined to be one of Rowe's most important publications."--BOOK JACKET.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 A history of Renaissance art, placing the time in its historical and political context and arguing that the Renaissance grew out of the achievements of the medieval period.   Publisher Summary 2 Over 125 color illustrations highlight a comprehensive history of Renaissance art from a renowned art critic, placing the time in its historical and political context and arguing that the Renaissance grew out of the achievements of the medieval period.   Publisher Summary 3 The Renaissance was one of the great periods of creative and intellectual achievement. This "age of genius," from its origins in the thirteenth century to its zenith in sixteenth-century Rome, produced some of the most fascinating and dynamic artists of all time--Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, and Leonardo da Vinci. In his adventurous new book, lavishly illustrated with 125 color illustrations, acclaimed art critic Andrew Graham-Dixon takes a fresh look at this most exciting period in art history, challenging many of the myths and misconceptions surrounding the Renaissance. The Italian scholars who first dreamed of a Renaissance wished to revive the spirit of classical antiquity after the darkness--as they saw it--of the medieval and Byzantine periods. Graham-Dixon argues, however, that the Renaissance represented a culmination rather than a complete rejection of those earlier influences. Starting in the Middle Ages with the impact of the Franciscan movement on painting in Italy, Graham-Dixon's reappraisal of the Renaissance takes us through the key moments of its development, focusing on the major artists and architects of the time: the Early Renaissance in Florence--Giotto, Masaccio, Donatello, and Brunelleschi; the Northern Renaissance--D眉rer, Cranach, and Brueghel; Venice--Titian, Palladio, and Tintoretto; and the High Renaissance in Rome--Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael. Renaissancealso outlines the historical context of this time of great social as well as artistic change. It reveals the social climate in which these artists worked: the power struggles between the Renaissance rulers of the Italian city-states, the French invasions of Italy, the invention of printing, and the Protestant Reformation. Along with his vivid, highly original, and often extremely entertaining descriptions of the works themselves, Graham-Dixon not only reassesses but also brings to life one of the most glorious periods in history.

简介：　　'Who possesses me will possess all things, But his life will belong to me...' Raphael de Valentin, a young aristocrat, has lost all his money in the gaming parlours of the Palais Royal in Paris, and contemplates ending his life by throwing himself into the Seine. He is distracted by the bizarre array of objects in a chaotic antique shop, among them a strange animal skin, a piece of shagreen with magical properties. It will grant its possessor his every wish, but each time a wish is bestowed the skin shrinks, hastening its owner's death. Around this fantastic premise Balzac weaves a compelling psychological portrait of his hero, a prisoner of his own Promethean imagination, and explores profound ideas about the human will, vice and virtue, love and death. Helen Constantine's new translation captures the energy and exuberance of Balzac's novel, one of the most engaging of his 'Etudes philosophiques' from the Comedie humaine. The accompanying introduction and notes offer fresh insights into this remarkable work.

简介：Tamburlaine the Great is the name of a play in two parts by Christopher Marlowe. It is loosely based on the life of the Central Asian emperor, Timur 'the lame'. Written in 1587 or 1588, the play is a milestone in Elizabethan public drama; it marks a turning away from the clumsy language and loose plotting of the earlier Tudor dramatists, and a new interest in fresh and vivid language, memorable action, and intellectual complexity. Along with Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy, it may be considered the first popular success of London's public stage. Marlowe, generally considered the greatest of the University Wits, influenced playwrights well into the Jacobean period, and echoes of Tamburlaine's bombast and ambition can be found in English plays all the way to the Puritan closing of the theaters in 1642. While Tamburlaine is considered inferior to the great tragedies of the late-Elizabethan and early-Jacobean period, its significance in creating a stock of themes and, especially, in demonstrating the potential of blank verse in drama, are still acknowledged. Doctor Faustus is a play by Christopher Marlowe, based on the Faust story, in which a man sells his soul to the devil for power and knowledge. Doctor Faustus was first published in 1604, eleven years after Marlowe's death and at least twelve years after the first performance of the play. No Elizabethan play outside the Shakespeare canon has raised more controversy than Doctor Faustus. There is no agreement concerning the nature of the text and the date of composition... and the centrality of the Faust legend in the history of the Western world precludes any definitive agreement on the interpretation of the play. The Jew of Malta is a play by Christopher Marlowe, probably written in 1589 or 1590. The title character, Barabas, is a complex character likely to provoke mixed reactions in an audience. Like Marlowe's other protagonists, such as Tamburlaine and Doctor Faustus, he dominates the play's action. There has been extensive debate about the play's portrayal of Jews and how Elizabethan audiences would have viewed it. The plot is an original story of religious conflict, intrigue, and revenge, set against a backdrop of the struggle for supremacy between Spain and the Ottoman Empire in the Mediterranean that takes place on the island of Malta. The Jew of Malta is considered to have been a major influence on William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. Edward II is a Renaissance or Early Modern period play written by Christopher Marlowe. It is one of the earliest English history plays. The full title of the first publication is The Troublesome Reign and Lamentable Death of Edward the Second, King of England, with the Tragical Fall of Proud Mortimer. Marlowe found most of his material for this play in the third volume of Raphael Holinshed's Chronicles (1587). He stayed close to the account, but he embellished history with the character of Lightborn (or Lucifer) as Edward's assassin. The play was first acted in 1592 or 1593 by Pembroke's Men. "Each play in this edition has been edited afresh from the original text of best authority with modernized spelling and punctuation. On the other hand, we preserve original words that are historically separate from the more recognizable cognates, such as 'beholding' (not beholden). We retain strong forms of verbs such as 'Loaden' ('loaded'). We retain archaic forms when the metre requires them: for example, 'accurst' rather than 'accursed'..." (From Note on the texts)
