Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study deals with the representation of Christ's Healing Miracles in early Christian sepulchral art from Provence and Northern Italy. It sees the imagery through the contemporary exegetical writings and tries thus to uncover new strata of symbolic significance in early Christian art. The aim of the work is to reveal the complex theological concepts reflected in the relief decoration of a small number of late fourth-century sarcophagi and to cast thus light upon the spiritual climate of the sphere the persons who commissioned them were part of. It also links the narrative structure of representations of medical treatment and miracle scenes in ancient art with the Christian images and establishes new formal and iconographic connexions.

Download or read book Fifteenth Century Studies written by William C. McDonald and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2000-03 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1977 as the publication organ for the Fifteenth-Century Symposium, Fifteenth-Century Studies has appeared annually since then. It publishes essays on all aspects of life in the fifteenth century, including medicine, philosophy, painting, religion, science, philology, history, theater, ritual and custom, music, and poetry. The editors strive to do justice to the most contested medieval century, a period that is the stepchild of research. The period defies consensus on fundamental issues: some dispute, in fact, whether the fifteenth century belonged to the Middle Ages at all, arguing that it was a period of transition, a passage to modern times. At issue, therefore, is the very tenor of an age that stood under the tripartite influence of Gutenberg, the Turks, and Columbus. Volume 25 offers a rich palette of art, theology, literature, and aesthetics of the 15th century, ranging geographically from the British Isles to Tibet, and thematically from witch trials and beast epic to early modern science and a definition of courtliness. Four studies on theatre make dramatic art the point of emphasis in volume 25: Clifford Davidson's on mystery plays, Jörn Bockmann and Judith Klinger's on the English Secunda pastorum, Michelle M. Butler's on the York and Townley pageants, and Jean Marc Pastré's on the carneval plays. Included as standard features are Edelgard DuBruck's article on the current state of fifteenth-century research and a book review section. William C. McDonald is professor of German at the University of Virginia. Edelgard E. DuBruck is professor in the Modern Languages Department at Marygrove College, Detroit, Michigan.

Download or read book The New Art of the Fifteenth Century Faith and Art in Florance and The Netherlands written by Shirley Neilsen Blum and published by WW Norton. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh look at the early Renaissance, considering Florentine and Netherlandish art as a single phenomenon, at once deeply spiritual and entirely new. Adam and Eve are driven from the Garden of Eden into a rocky landscape, their naked bodies lit by a cold sun, their gestures and expressions a study in shame and anguish. A serious man, well attired, kneels in prayer before the Virgin and Child, close enough to touch them almost, his furrowed brow setting off the saintly perfection of their features. In fifteenth-century Florence and Flanders, painters were using an arsenal of new techniques—including perspective, anatomy, and the accurate treatment of light and shade—to present traditional religious subjects with an unprecedented immediacy and emotional power. Their art was the product of a shared Christian culture, and their patrons included not only nobles and churchmen but also the middle classes of these thriving commercial centers. Shirley Neilsen Blum offers a new synthesis of this remarkable period in Western art—between the refinements of the Gothic and the classicism of the High Renaissance—when the mystical was made to seem real. In the first part of her text, Blum traces the emergence of a new naturalism in the sculpture of Claus Sluter and Donatello, and then in the painting of Van Eyck and Masaccio. In the second part, she compares scenes from the Infancy and Passion of Christ as rendered by artists from North and South. Exploring both the images themselves and the theological concepts that lie behind them, she re-creates, as far as possible, the experience of the contemporary fifteenth-century viewer. Abundantly illustrated with color plates of masterworks by Fra Angelico, Botticelli, Rogier van der Weyden, and others, this thought-provoking volume will appeal equally to general readers and students of art history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dies ist die Autobiographie eines 'gewöhnlichen' Lebens, eines Bankangestellten und seiner Familie; aber manches ist ungewöhnlich. Das Buch zeigt die Suche eines Mannes nach Gott und wie er Gott findet (oder besser: wie Gott ihn findet)." Der Autor Günter Porth, geboren 31.8.1956 in Dahn/Pfalz, studierte nach seinem Abitur 1976 vier Semester Germanistik und ev. Theologie. Nach Abbruch seines Studiums und verschiedenen Gelegenheitsiobs absolvierte er 1980 bis 1982 eine Banklehre und studierte dann zwei Jahre Betriebswirtschaft an der FH der Deutschen Bundesbank. Nach seinem Abschluss war er in den Filialen der Bundesbank in Mainz, Pirmasens, Cottbus, Weimar und Erfurt tätig. 2020 trat er in den Ruhestand und lebt nun mit seiner Frau Anne und Familie in Pirmasens. This is the autobiography of an 'ordinary' life, that of a bank employee and his family; but some things are out of the ordinary. The book shows a man's search for God, and how he found him (or, better, how God found him).
