Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the monumental mural art of Romanesque style, the glass painting of Early Gothic cathedrals and miniature painting so warmly favored by courtly culture, medieval panel painting, an interesting and attractive field in the history of German art, aspired to the proud rank of leadership. Born on small-size diptychs and portable altars, it became the progenitor of the vast realm of easel pictures with an extensive province of themes, the forerunner of the portrait, the still-life, of genre-painting, in general of all the motives that were to appear again and again in frescoes of loftily solemn tone without having a proper place of their own. The aristocratic art of miniature painting was inaccessible to the wider public, leaving its demand for the spectacular unsatisfied. While gazing at major altarpieces, at the triptychs gleaming with gold and colors in the dim glimmer inside Gothic churches, people found ample opportunities for enjoying new representations of century-old sacred themes painted in a life-like manner after the intense, veritably naturalist conception of the Late Middle Ages, virtually dividing the picture into series of scenes fully comprehensible to the spectator. This demand was manifest in occasional details of the genre-scene type to be discovered in a fair number of pictures, the arrangement of minor utensils to form a complete still-life, the portrait-like verisimilitude of some figures; these were to become the preshaped elements of artistic forms destined to emerge later and to acquire independence. - p. 5.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated volume explores the richness of the J.

This book showcases full-color reproductions of masterpieces from such works as Carolingian manuscripts of the ninth century; several sumptuously illuminated Ottonian texts from the late tenth and early eleventh centuries; two of the most celebrated examples of Romanesque illumination: the Helmarshausen Gospel book from the 1120s and the Stammheim Missal, made around 1170 for Saint Michael's monastery in Hildesheim; The Life of the Blessed Hedwig from 1353, and the only known illuminations by the Cologne painter called the Master of Saint Veronica, ca. 1400. It also illustrates many richly colored illuminations from such manuscripts as a luxury psalter made in Würzburg, dating from the mid-thirteenth century; a copy of Rudolf von Ems's Weltchronik, produced in the early fifteenth century; and chivalric and dynastic manuscripts from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries.

Download or read book Animals as Disguised Symbols in Renaissance Art written by Simona Cohen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between medieval animal symbolism and the iconography of animals in the Renaissance has scarcely been studied. Filling a gap in this significant field of Renaissance culture, in general, and its art, in particular, this book demonstrates the continuity and tenacity of medieval animal interpretations and symbolism, disguised under the veil of genre, religious or mythological narrative and scientific naturalism. An extensive introduction, dealing with relevant medieval and early Renaissance sources, is followed by a series of case studies that illustrate ways in which Renaissance artists revived conventional animal imagery in unprecedented contexts, investing them with new meanings, on a social, political, ethical, religious or psychological level, often by applying exegetical methodology in creating multiple semantic and iconographic levels.Brill's Studies on Art, Art History, and Intellectual History, vol. 2
