Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the relationship between temporality and presence in medieval artworks from the third to the sixteenth centuries. It is the first extensive treatment of the interconnections between medieval artworks' varied presences and their ever-shifting places in time. The volume begins with reflections on the study of temporality and presence in medieval and early modern art history. A second section presents case studies delving into the different ways medieval artworks once created and transformed their original viewers' experience of the present. These range from late antique Constantinople, early Islamic Jerusalem and medieval Italy, to early modern Venice and the Low Countries. A final section explores how medieval artworks remain powerful and relevant today. This section includes case studies on reconstructing presence in medieval art through embodied experience of pilgrimage, art historical research and museum education. In doing so, the volume provides a first dialog between museum educators and art historians on the presence of medieval artifacts. It includes contributions by Hans Belting, Keith Moxey, Rika Burnham and others.

Book Painting the Sacred in the Age of Romanticism

Download or read book Painting the Sacred in the Age of Romanticism written by Cordula Grewe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a century of Rationalist scepticism and political upheaval, the nineteenth century awakened to a fierce battle between the forces of secularization and the crusaders of a Christian revival. From this battlefield arose an art movement that would become the torchbearer of a new religious art: Nazarenism. From its inception in the Lukasbund of 1809, this art was controversial. It nonetheless succeeded in becoming a lingua franca in religious circles throughout Europe, America, and the world at large. This is the first major study of the evolution, structure, and conceptual complexity of this archetypically nineteenth-century language of belief. The Nazarene quest for a modern religious idiom evolved around a return to pre-modern forms of biblical exegesis and the adaptation of traditional systems of iconography. Reflecting the era's historicist sensibility as much as the general revival of orthodoxy in the various Christian denominations, the Nazarenes responded with great acumen to pressing contemporary concerns. Consequently, the artists did not simply revive Christian iconography, but rather reconceptualized what it could do and say. This creativity and flexibility enabled them to intervene forcefully in key debates of post-revolutionary European society: the function of eroticism in a Christian life, the role of women and the social question, devotional practice and the nature of the Church, childhood education and bible study, and the burning issue of anti-Judaism and modern anti-Semitism. What makes Nazarene art essentially Romantic is the meditation on the conditions of art-making inscribed into their appropriation and reinvention of artistic tradition. Far from being a reactionary move, this self-reflexivity expresses the modernity of Nazarene art. This study explores Nazarenism in a series of detailed excavations of central works in the Nazarene corpus produced between 1808 and the 1860s. The result is a book about the possibility of religious meanin

  • ISBN : 9780271042701

Download or read book Representing Belief written by Michael Paul Driskel and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representing Belief provides a detailed discussion and analysis of the forms and meanings in religious art of nineteenth-century France. This genre, usually assigned minimal importance by writers on the period, turns out to occupy a central place in the cultural history of the era, touching the core of the century's conflict between tradition and modernity, science and faith, ultramontanism and naturalism. Although it was generally assumed that this kind of art was of little importance in the evolution of modern painting, Driskel demonstrates that in reality it played a crucial role. Many of the artists discussed are firmly installed in the present canon (Delacroix, Ingres, Manet, Gauguin), while others (Flandrin, Orsel, Gleyre, Cazin) were major figures in their own time, though largely forgotten today. Writing from an interdisciplinary perspective and employing concepts derived from structuralist and poststructuralist theory, Driskel moves beyond simple formalism to restore a category of once-important works to a meaningful context, thereby offering others a model by which to discuss and interpret these paintings. Carefully charting the genealogies of hieraticism and naturalism, he demonstrates that a dramatic shift occurred in the 1860s and 1870s as naturalism gained acceptance among ultramontanes and the hieratic mode began to attract the interest of adherents to the belief system of modernism. Representing Belief is the first book to situate this art in its social and historical contexts and to approach it from this point of view.

Extrait: ... mon temps a le consoler.--Enfin, il fut convenu qu'il recommencerait. Un jour qu'Ingres dinait ici, nous prenions, comme aujourd'hui, a cette meme place, le cafe en plein air; je causais avec un ami, et j'etais, parait-il, dans la pose du portrait. Ingres se leve, s'approche de moi, et me parlant presque a l'oreille: Venez poser demain, me dit-il; votre portrait est fait. Le lendemain, en effet, je reprenais mes seances, qui furent de tres-courte duree; en moins d'un mois, le portrait fut acheve. J'eus la bonne fortune d'aller voir ce portrait chez M. Ingres avant l'ouverture du Salon. Je me souviens, comme si j'y etais, de l'impression etrange qu'il me produisit, et il me fallut quelques instants avant de m'accoutumer au ton violace de cette peinture. Je l'ai revu depuis bien souvent, j'en ai meme fait une copie, et je m'explique un mot de M. Ingres, que je ne comprenais pas alors: C'est le temps qui se charge de finir mes ouvrages. Ce portrait a completement perdu l'aspect qui m'avait frappe, et voici pourquoi. Les laques dont M. Ingres 'avait l'habitude de se servir sont de peu de duree, la lumiere tend a les absorber; l'huile au.contraire jaunit, 'et ses peintures anciennement faites, en perdant leurs tons violaces et en prenant une teinte doree par l'action du temps sur l'huile, ont gagne, sinon comme couleur, du moins comme aspect general. Cela etait bien sensible a l'exposition ou figurerent les deux portraits dont je parle. Celui de madame de Vaucey avait l'apparence d'un portrait...

Book Monasticism  Buddhist  and Christian

Download or read book Monasticism Buddhist and Christian written by Sŭng-hye Kim and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the history of Christian monasticism is written for the twentieth century, it will include one surprising and revolutionary development that nothing in its previous history could have prepared it for: the living dialogue with Buddhism. Over the past thirty years, while Christian theologians were eagerly discussing their doctrinal traditions with their Buddhist counterparts and rethinking their characterization of the "non-Christian" world, men and women monastics East and West were sharing methods of meditation and experiencing life in one another's communities. All of this, in turn, was part of a larger pursuit among religious-minded people across the world for a revitalized spirituality, one open to the inheritance of traditions previously considered false or at least irretrievably foreign. As the essays gathered together in the book will show, with Buddhist and Christian populations almost evenly distributed and the preservation of community-based monasticism still living in both traditions, Korea is in a unique position to reflect on the ideals of a life of "self-renunciation" as they have been conceptualized and embodied in these two world religions, and to ask what meaning the monastic experience still has for society at large.
